Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador is finally getting help after she was arrested for a hit and run DUI last month.
According to sources, Shannon us “taking responsibility and accountability” and is now involved with an outpatient behavioral wellness program with an alcohol element.
Reports state that Shannon was “arrested at 1:17 a.m. on Sept. 17 after fleeing the scene from a collision that caused property damage,” according to the Newport Beach Police Department where she was “booked for two misdemeanors — hit-and-run and DUI alcohol. She was released on a citation.”
The reality star was reported to be remorseful and willing to take accountability for her actions.
“I will tell you she’s accepting full accountability. She is ashamed, she’s embarrassed. I personally, as her friend — cause people are like, ‘Oh she needs rehab,’ ‘Oh she’s an alcoholic’… I don’t think Shannon is an alcoholic. I think she’s been going thorough a lot of personal struggles right now, and I think she has been leaning on alcohol — but I don’t think she’s an alcoholic,” her friend Jeff Lewis said after the news made headlines.
