Shannon Breaks Down In Tears After Learning David May Have Romanced GF While Still Married
July 17 2018, Updated 12:21 p.m. ET
Season 13 of The Real Housewives of Orange County aired tonight, and it's clear that the drama is not over for soon-to-be divorced beauty Shannon Beador!
Breaking Celebrity News was the first to report that Shannon's cheating ex-husband, David Beador, moved on from the 54-year-old with much-younger flame, Lesley Cook. What readers didn't know, however, is that the two may have hooked up while he was still married to Shannon!
"I know you saw the social media post that came out this week. It's understandable that at some point he is going to move on, but to know that I am so easily replaceable within a couple months hurt a lot," Shannon told co-star Vicki Gunvalson when the frenemies met up for coffee.
"I found out two days after it came out that he has a girlfriend that is 20 years younger than him. She is one of 3,000 young girls that want some guy to take care of her. After a lot of crying and a lot of tears I am excited for where this year is going to take me."
While Vicki handled Shannon with care after her meltdown, BFF Tamra Judge gave her some tough love when the two got together for Shannon's wedding removal ceremony.
"That is the thing that is so frustrating. You are married for 17 years and you find out that your husband is already with someone," Shannon said before Tamra dropped the bombshell.
"After I found out that David had a girlfriend I started stalking her and I found out that they had been communicating as far back as even when they were married," Tamra said in her confessional.
Tamra then confronted Shannon, telling her that David was commenting on Lesley's posts in October—when the two were still hitched. "I wouldn't put it past him," replied Shannon. "Wait, he was?"
"I feel bad for Shannon. But honestly, he's moved on. It's time for her to move on. Sign the divorce papers and figure out the next part of your life," Tamra said of her crying friend.
But Shannon clearly had a tough time coping with the loss.
"It is so disappointing that after 20 years with David, my family is breaking up. David and I went from 14,000 square feet and now I am in 4,000 square feet.
"The girls know about the affair in David and my marriage. Each daughter is different with their emotions but I know they want to see me happy and they want to see their father happy and they just haven't seen that yet," Shannon said in her confessional.
"There seems to be a lot of bitterness. David and I communicate via text and email and they aren't pleasant," she admitted. "I will just leave it at that."
Although Tamra did everything she could to console Shannon, she eventually had to leave her devastated pal to deal with her own troubles. As Breaking Celebrity News readers know, the blonde stunner's husband Eddie Judge had to undergo heart surgery after months of cardiac issues, just as the couple was trying to move into their new home!
"Eddie was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation about three months ago. He had noticed that his heart rate was getting up to 240-260 beats a minute while he was working out, which is dangerous. So they are going in catharizing part of his heart. He is a machine and his body is
