Shannon Beador On ‘RHOC’ Newbie Meghan King Edmonds, Brooks Ayers’ Cancer

Shannon Beador has appeared on The Real Housewives of Orange County for two seasons now, and throughout her journey, she has dealt with a number of hardships. In addition to her evolving relationships with her co-stars, as well as the drama between them, she’s endured the heartache of her husband’s affair.

Still, Shannon Beador doesn’t regret her decision to join the show. Not only has she formed true friendships with some of the ladies, she also allowed struggling couples to look to her and David as inspiration to deal with their own troubles.

During an interview with All Things Real Housewives on July 27, Shannon Beador discussed her current relationship with newcomer Meghan King Edmonds, as well as Brooks Ayers’ cancer treatments.

“Jim’s first wife passed away and I reached out to her after that but as far as since the show has started to air I’ve kept my distance from her, because I believe she’s made a lot of below-the-belt jabs about me in her commentary that are unwarranted and they’re not true. She doesn’t know me at all. Part of me believes she’s just saying these things to be hurtful and to stir it up. She wants to bring the drama.”

As the Inquisitr previously reported, LeAnn Edmonds died last week after a long battle with cancer. Her daughter, 17-year-old Haley, announced the news on Instagram.

Although Edmonds was not featured on The Real Housewives of Orange County in a full-time role, she was a regular topic of discussion as her battle with cancer was often compared to that of Brooke Ayers, the longtime boyfriend of Vicki Gunvalson.

Regarding Ayers’ battle with stage 3 Non-Hodgkins lymphoma, Shannon Beador told All Things Real Housewives she learned about the diagnosis at the time Gunvalson did and immediately offered to help Ayers link up to some of California’s top doctors.

“I did refer her to two doctors. I don’t refer people to doctors or businesses unless I have a very good feeling it’s going to be helpful, but Brooks chose to go other ways. One of the people I referred him to was an M.D. and has a cancer center in her facility. So they administer the chemotherapy, but in addition they offer all the latest Eastern medicine approaches to help boost your immune system as your undergoing chemotherapy.”
