Shannon Beador reacted to John Janssen‘s recent wedding to Alexis Bellino while appearing on Wednesday’s episode of Jeff Lewis‘ radio show.
As she also spoke of her seating position at the Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 reunion, which filmed earlier this month, and addressed her friendship with Gretchen Rossi, 46, Shannon, 61, gave a nod to John, 62, and Alexis’ wedding story for PEOPLE, which was published very soon after they said, “I do,” on October 3.
“They got married and it was like, in PEOPLE magazine two hours later,” Shannon shared on the October 15 episode of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, proceeding to shade John and Alexis’ “priorities.”
Although Shannon admitted the wedding “looked pretty,” she agreed with Jeff’s suggestion that she “doesn’t give a sh*t” about her ex-boyfriend’s new marriage.
“No,” she replied. “Time heals everything, and it makes you see more clearly.”
At another moment of Jeff’s show, Shannon confirmed the RHOC season 19 reunion had been filmed as she revealed she was seated in the last chair, which has long been thought to indicate a potentially jeopardized role on the show.
“I was at the end. I’ve never been at the end before. I’ve usually been in the first or second seat. I was in the end. I was straight across from [Heather Dubrow]. Heather and I were in the same position,” she shared as Jeff, 55, reasoned that she and Heather, 56, were “OGs” and likely had nothing to worry about in terms of season 20.
According to Shannon, “it was quite nice” to be out of the drama for once.
“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,” she explained.
Then, when asked if production chose to seat her next to Gretchen because they typically pair allies, Shannon said she “[thinks] so” as she defended her castmate against backlash.
“There were certain things that were potential issues for me during this season, but there’s still a lot more to come, and I think that Gretchen has a very big heart. I do believe that. I’ve seen it,” Shannon stated. “And she may have issues with some cast members, but then you look at how she’s treated other of us, and she doesn’t have a mean bone.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
