Two teas in a pod, which Teddy Mellencamp and Cambridge Edge.
Breaking news, Breaking news, Shannon was just arrested for DUI. It just came out. Real Housewives the Orange County star Shannon Badour arrested for a DUI hit and run struck a house in Newport Beach. Shannon, this is on TMZ. I haven't spoken to Tamra. I have no backstory on any of this, but Shannon Badore's tough year just got a lot rougher. The reality star got busted for driving drunk this weekend in SoCal. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the Real Housewives Orange County star drove her car onto a residential property in Newport Beach Saturday night and actually clipped the house. We're told that Badoor then turned back onto the road and kept going before parking the vehicle in the middle of the street and getting out with her dog. Our sources say she tried to act like she was taking a walk When police arrived after receiving at the nine to one one call. We're told she wasn't fooling anyone, as she appeared wasted and was taken into custody. Cops also sees Badoura's car as part of the investigation into the damage of their home. A rep for Newport Beach VD says Badoor was booked for two misdemeanors, a hit and run and DUI and alcohol. She was cited and released without bond. It's been a bumpy ride for Badoor lately. In January, she publicly discussed her painful split from her boyfriend at three and a half years, John Jansen. Ba Door told people she was blindsided by Jansen breaking up with her in November. I mean, we don't even need to read anymore. One. My heart breaks for Shannon because clearly she's going through some tough shit because as an adult, you don't drive drunk unless shit. I mean, there's no there's no reason for it. But like yeah, I mean I'm scared to drive anyway sober. But like this, there's just so much Like already, this whole season has been so much about Gina's DUI and all those discussions, so for this to happen, and I know that Shannon is also an overthinker herself, so I can only imagine what she's personally going through. She has kids, all this stuff.
Yeah, this is bad. This is bad. My heart goes after her. I'm just glad, well, number one, no one was hurt, No one was hurt. I'm glad that she was not hurt and didn't hurt anyone honestly, because you know, all of those things have the potential to happen. Wow, I'm I'm I'm so processing sorry. I'm gonna shock about this whole thing. But I I hope and pray that I don't even know what to say.
I mean, I guess the only thing I can think is, like, if you're in a place and I think that you know what Gina talked about when she said she was going through that rough time and she got the DUI and all of those things, and now she's not drinking. But I do think this is definitely a big time for reflection.
Well, this is a wake up call.
This is a major wake up call. Being drunk on a television show and causing shit is very, very different from getting into your car and driving and hitting a house and then getting out. And like I think a lot of the women alleging that you know, Shannon always calls drunk Listen, I don't think mental health and wellness is something to joke about, but I do know that when you're struggling, and there are massive repercussions to this. And this is also just a PSA to everyone listening this podcast. There is absolutely no reason in this day and age to ever drink and drive. I will not even have one drink and get into the car because you don't know how an alcoholic beverage is going to hit you in your current mindset, or if you're on antidepressants, or if you're going through treatment on something, you have no idea. Ubers to go ten minutes cost six dollars. It's not worth it, and I'm really so sorry for Shannon, but also it's just.
Yeah, no, I agree. I agree one hundred percent. Like you know, we all have like various social lives and like for me, there's times where I'll go out, like I have like a one drink rule if I drive.
But you're also how tall are you? I'm five ten five ten, I'm five to three, so one drink can hit me.
But I know what, I know my limit and I know and you know there's food involved, then there's like time involved. I'm not gonna drink right before I walk out the door, but what I'm saying, is I know because I've been in that position where it's like, oh, I don't think I can drive because sometimes you could just be having a couple of glasses of money.
Like whoa wait a minute.
You know it's not like you got to be like pounding pounding shots. Yeah, so it could be like really really, you know, it could just scrape up on you. And sometimes you know, things just kick in and again if you haven't eaten, you know, like that like changes everything. So you have to be very very careful and very mindful. And it's something that I'm constantly reminding myself of, Like this have been times when like when I've driven somewhere and I'm like, I think I may have to uber back because I don't know if I'm if I should be driving. And I tell my twenty three year old all the time anytime the wall goes out to dinner or whatever, because she can drink if she wants to. She's a you know, illegal drinking. I'm like, if you think you're having to drink, even if it's one drink, cause she's like five three, she's tainting, you know, I'm like, no, well, just uber, please, just uber if you even think you're going to have a cocktail.
And I think that's something else we don't really take into a fuct And if you're having a bad day, if you're already feeling down and you have a drink, alcohol is a depressant. Yeah, like we think we feel better in the moment. And listen, I'm not pretending that I don't drink or I don't get overserved, but you just never know where it's going to take you each time. And I don't know. I'm praying for you, Shannon. I hope, I hope that you find peace and whatever is going on with you, that you have a support group and you know of friendships and relationships and that you're going to be okay. And you know, somebody's got to be in a bad place when they try, you know, when they make a mistake and then they try to get out of it, is it just a double frickin whammy. So who knows the I can't even imagine how she's feeling today.
To you, Shannon, and that all this thing, all this works out and and you're able to you know, just deal with whatever you have going on.
Stay strong, Stay strong. Tamra is heading out today on her vacation, and uh, I just kind of want to get her on on the pod quickly and just make sure that Shannon's okay. And so let's let's see if we can get her on real quick. Tamra, Oh my gosh, and I am literally like shaking.
I every cast member is sending me text messages. I don't even know if it's true. I talked to Shannon yesterday. She didn't say a word to me. Nothing. We were on a conference call for Chase, and because she was extremely quiet, I talked to her after it. There was no word of it. And all I'm seeing is you know what's on the on the in the press. I'm shook. I just I'm literally shaking right now, shaking.
I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
I at first I didn't think it was true.
But if TMZ's reporting it allegedly she was arrested, was there a mud shot? I haven't seen it yet, because I was I've honestly been on the pod with Cynthia. And then I was like, now I'm supposed to be talking to Tamra having like a fun send off, but like this is now a situation. Well I have to ask you, like, what were her spirit you were just with her in New York? What were her spirits? Like? How was she?
She was fine in New York. I had a conference call with her the other day. If this happened on Saturday. I had a conference call with her on Sunday. She was very quiet. She said, it's been a rough couple of days. And that's all she told me.
And I mean the part that does it did it say a time on there? Because it said her dog was in the car, So like if she was out at like a dinner or out somewhere. It was Saturday night, But why would Archie be with her? I don't know. I don't know.
I have no idea what she was taking him somewhere?
Did you talk to her yesterday?
I talked to her the day after this supposedly happened.
And you talked her on Sunday, yes, And she didn't mention it.
No, That's why I instantly thought it was a lie. This is life changing, this is going to change her life.
This it's it's actually truly heartbreaking. And and Cynthia and I were talking about it, just like how we both feel about drinking and driving, but like how when we are struggling how alcohol can hit you differently.
For sure, for sure, but you know what, you make a choice to get in a car, and that's not a good choice. It's not a smart choice. So I mean, I feel bad for her, and I just I'm just happy nobody got hurt.
Yeah, and you're in real time right now, are you guys all in a group chat?
Everyone's texting individually because some of some of the girls have reached out to her and she hasn't responded.
I hate that no one's talked to her. I hate even more than you.
I talked to you the other day, I know, and said nothing. Nothing.
I'm just I'm telling you, I am shaking.
I just found out.
I mean, oh god, Oh it's not just to you. I hit and run is even worse. But I mean, thankfully the hit and run no one was her. But like that's and then it says that she got out of her car and then allegedly pretended to the cops that she was walking the dog and the car was ware well, allegedly she parked it on the side of the street, but didn't she hit a house allegedly. I don't know. I think that I think that whatever situation she's going through is clearly been shown throughout this entire season that there's a lot of things that she doesn't want talked about. And I understand, and I want to respect her privacy. And I know that she has kids, and I know that she has, you know, allegedly a toxic past relationship that we watch play out on television. I mean, Shannon, we're praying for you. If you need it, I know, let us know.
Oh my god, I just I'm just like lost for words right now because I literally just found out. I literally just found out. Well, her life is going to change forever.
Yeah, and that's something for everybody to think about. You guys getting into.
The yes, do not drink and drive. Do not. I don't care if it's a few drinks, Like I mean, this could have gone really bad. Some could have been I don't know how bad the accident was. She could have been hurt, somebody in the house could have been hurt, somebody could have died, like this is this is horrible.
I'm just even more in a way that you talked to her yesterday and you haven't.
I did notice there was she was very quiet. It was very very and it was a conference.
Well you guys, was it like a work conference call?
Yes, it was a work It was for trace a megas. It was four people on the phone. And she did not say one word. And I called her back. I said, you're really quiet. She's like, yeah, it just been a little tough. But she never said one word about it.
Oh, Shannon, Well, I guess there's there's nothing else for us to say on this topic, you know, there there isn't. I mean, well, I'm sure there will be more to come out. I hope that at some point Shannon's able to open up and be vulnerable and share, because whatever it is that she is going through, if she is able to open up and be vulnerable and share, people will have empathy and understanding the depths of whatever she's struggling with.
Yeah. I know, since her and John broke up, like, it's been a rollercoaster on again, off again, and she's been really sad lately. And I'm not making excuses for anybody to have a drink and get in a car, but I know her her mental state wasn't great lately.
It really wasn't so which that only at her.
Kid Her kids just left for college. She's home alone, she.
Had to move. They're not filming like they're an idle mind and not having things too. When you're sad and you're alone and there's not that next thing. And especially and this is going to sound crazy, but especially when you're in the world of television and you're always on and then all of a sudden it all stops seasoned, end, the reunion ended. She wasn't with all of you guys at the reunion. Then you guys went to Trace amigas uh at Watch What Happens Live. To me, the energy felt off even there. I could see that Shannon was turned away from.
Oh really, I didn't notice that.
Yeah, she was face the facing like the bars under the entire time and like like it just something's going on. But we do love you. Shannon's best for you.
I'm going to try to call her now and see if I can talk to her.
Okay, I wish she would.
I would have told me yesterday.
I know, because then you could have probably helped her, because it always this stuff always ends up coming out.
Okay, Yeah, I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be talking with her, so.
All right, Wow, I'm gonna miss you, tamp.
I'm gonna miss you too. This really puts it down for on everything, though I know it really does.
Well you, Tam, and please tell Shannon that I'm here If she needs anything, I will thank you.
