Shannon Beador on what led to John Janssen split: ‘Never going to get back together’

Shannon Beador is healing after heartbreak.

The “Real Housewives of Orange County” star, 59, revealed in an exclusive interview with Page Six what led to her split from now-ex-boyfriend John Janssen — and how she ultimately bounced back.

“It was just a lot of bickering. There was no major [moment like], ‘Oh my God, you’ve got to walk away!’” Beador told us over dinner with castmates Tamra Judge and Taylor Armstrong at The Quiet Woman, an iconic “RHOC” establishment.

Hate it when someone (Tamra) comes in to explain someone else's feelings and relationship (breakup) while the person is sitting there.

[lorrainesym]

Shannon you are now more beautiful than ever and John wasn’t for you…the right man will find you!

[sharona.mcgowan]

Love Shannon, she's an intelligent, kind, loving mother, a loyal friend and a heart of gold, an entrepreneur, a GREAT sense of humor and also admits she's not perfect... I admire you Shannon... wishing you much love, success and happiness ❣️🌹😃

[jeanneschatzman]

She needs time without a man. She is too needy and drinks too much.

[ydennek]

I think Shannon would be hard work in a relationship Great for TV, not great for relationships, family friends or lovers. Just my opinion

[donnaharris]

of course tamra has to take over, it's shannon's story to tell not your tamra, not everything is about you or your opinion. let shannon talk. same old tamra imo

[andreahesdra]

Why don’t Tamra & Taylor shut up & let Shannon explain HER relationship

[sandrapicciotto]

Don't trust Tamara . She's sneaky . So Tamara knows what Shannon wants in a man. Really! I'd really like to know what's Going on with her and Eddie. Since she's so involved with everyone's relationships. Sorry she's back on the show. She has no storyline except getting into everyone business, and getting in everyone's marriages.

[dukefurst]

Certainly nothing quiet about the Quiet Woman. Geez, just the background noise in there is deafening!

[Lisabug]

Too needy.i don’t think he wants his business in the streets or a woman that has no “off” button and can’t conduct herself in public.

[mickeyandres]

Haha oh Shannon, she is the worst at explaining something…..
Wild hands and repetition galore haha

[cheeseburgerbae]

Watching this after her DUI is just very heartbreaking. We all want the best for Shannon, and want to see her truly happy and healthy ❤

[Michelle-wkek]

Too much drinking starts bickering and rows, so Shannon needs to cut it out, she does drink too much, John was passed asking her to stop. End of the relationship.

[katjaxxx]

Keep away from Tamra. She is not a friend.

[safaith]

I would love to be a friend to Shannon. I think she's thoughtful & seems like fun. She needs to stopping thinking so badly about herself & stop being friends w Tamrat.

[natalieadkisson]

Make sure to end contact with Tamara. She is the new Queen of Betrayal. NO ONE IS SAFE. She lies every episode and has thrown every "friend" under the bus at some point. I hope its worth it. DECREPIT EXCUSE OF A HUMAN BEING. Quite frankly, I don't want to see her or hear anything she has to say EVER AGAIN.

[joanne]

Not surprised, Shannon eventually argues with everyone...heard she even had a fight with John's daughter...she needs to be alone for a bit, but she won't. She always seems like she is hysterical most of the time. She is definitely too needy. She would drain anyone.

[SavannahJ]

They are back together and Shannon is really a poor role model for her kids. The minute she was on her own and lost weight and saw David she was like, let me go back into the restaurant so he can see me. It's pathetic. John and David are poor partners for her. Yet she's desperate to have them come back.

[greekre]

i’m just going to say this, coming from a place and country where woman don’t do things like this to their faces it is absolutely shocking to me to see how hideous these women look. they look much older than their years and artificial. so what was the point of having these procedures if they end up looking older and scarier than women their actual age. i understand media plays into it. eg. erika jane was on watch what happens live and andy told her how wonderful she looked. we were having a pizza party and everyone rolled with laughter. we could not believe it, she looked hideous, is this why women do it bevause they are being lied to by others and they believe it? as a man i don’t know what happens to these women, don’t they see what we see when they look in the mirror??

[nygal]

Shannon clings. She runs men off.. I think Shannon is unstable. Blah. Her voice drives me crazy. I couldn't imagine living with her.
