Shannon Beador has been a staple of The Real Housewives of Orange County since season 9, and here are all of the most memorable scandals Shannon has been involved in on and off of the show during her time in the spotlight. Shannon has had a particularly harrowing experience on RHOC, and although she is not one of the franchise's most volatile stars, Shannon can't seem to escape drama on camera or behind the scenes.

Shannon has received viewers' sympathy over her past seven seasons as a housewife. In a cast full of controversial stars like Kelly Dodd, Vicki Gunvalson, and Braunwyn Windham-Burke, it's easy for a more timid personality like Shannon's to be victimized. During her experience on RHOC, Shannon has been abused by her co-stars and family members in instances such as when Kelly hit Shannon on the head with a mallet and sent her to the emergency room.

Even though Shannon has overcome the conflict that impeded her on TV, she manages to find herself in the middle of scandals outside of her work on several seasons of The Real Housewives of Orange County as well. Shannon's feuds with frenemies, ex-husbands, and social media outlets prove she is quite the scandalous housewife. From the public end of Shannon's tragic marriage to her ex David Beador to suing Facebook, here's a rundown of Shannon's biggest scandals on and off of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

David's Cheating Scandal

The most infamous conflict Shannon faced on and off of The Real Housewives was her husband's cheating scandal. Right from the start, Shannon had to deal with rumors of her former partner cheating on her. While filming RHOC, David's relationship with his mistress came out and blindsided Shannon. This resulted in years of scrutiny surrounding Shannon's marriage as she attempted to make it work with David after news of his infidelity broke. Ultimately, Shannon and David were unable to work it out and they officially divorced in 2017 after 17 years of marriage. Since their split, the ill-fated couple has continued to churn out drama as David recently threatened to sue Shannon for talking about his new wife.

Shannon's Football Game Fight

In 2015, Shannon was seen arguing with her ex-husband's former mistress, Nicole McMackin. Shannon and Nicole were attending a University of Southern California football game where things got heated. According to E! News, Shannon and Nicole were seated only a few rows away from one another. Both women were at the game because they were married to USC alumni. Before the football game even started, "Shannon began yelling during warm-ups." Shannon continued to argue with Nicole and exclaim obscenities to her former husband's former mistress. Shannon even grabbed Nicole's arm before Nicole's husband got involved. David decided not to intervene in Shannon and Nicole's argument.

Shannon Sues Facebook

One of the most interesting recent scandals Shannon has gotten involved in outside of The Real Housewives of Orange County is her recent lawsuit with social media giant, Facebook. On July 8, news broke that Shannon's suing Facebook for using her image in diet ads. Shannon claimed that 15 companies were using her name, likeness, and image to sell diet pills. Shannon asserts that she has no connection with any of the over a dozen companies that have been benefitting off of her celebrity.

According to TMZ, Shannon views these diet pill companies as fraudulent and their use of her image is "undermining her career, sullying her good name." If this diet pill scandal is not resolved in a timely manner, fans might catch a glimpse of Shannon's legal prowess on The Real Housewives of Orange County's upcoming season.
