Andy Cohen may or may not be sending cryptic messages when he seats the Real Housewives at reunions. The trend is to put the more active cast members at his side, with those potentially on the chopping block towards the ends of the couch.
However, Shannon Beador was seated at the end for The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19 reunion. But nobody thinks that this veteran star will be let go. It seems to be more of a matter of how engaged she was in all the drama.
Shannon Beador is on the end of the RHOC reunion for the first time
Shannon revealed to Jeff Lewis during his show that the RHOC reunion “filmed” “last week” and she found herself “at the end.”
“I’ve never been at the end before. I’ve usually been in the first or second seat. I was straight across from Heather [Dubrow]. Heather and I were in the same position,” Shannon shared.
Both Heather and Shannon are established cast members. But the drama this season really swirled around Gretchen Rossi and Tamra Judge. An accusation of an affair was involved. It was a continuation of their decade-long feud.
“By the grace of god, I wasn’t in a lot of the mix for once. So it was quite nice to be a part of it. But there were a lot of dark things that happened this year, and I wanted to be opinionated about them,” Shannon said of side-stepping the drama.
Jeff questioned Shannon’s alliance with Gretchen, since the duo were seated next to each other. That’s just another presumed seating trend. But the Real For Real founder confirmed that she did “have her back during the reunion.”
“There were certain things that were potential issues for me during the season. But there is still a lot more to come. I think that Gretchen has a very big heart. I do believe that I’ve seen it. She may have issues with some cast members, but then you look at how she’s treated the rest of us. And she doesn’t have a mean bone,” Shannon concluded.
RHOC Season 19 has served up plenty of drama. With more to come, according the veteran star.
