Gina Kirschenheiteris accusingShannon Storms Beadorof using her previous DUI as a “weapon” and implicating her children in the process.
In part one ofThe Real Housewives of Orange Countyreunion on Wednesday, hostAndy Cohenconfronted Shannon about mentioning the real estate agent’s2019 DUIearlier this season after promising to never speak of it during last year’s reunion.

“Gina, I do not remember saying it,” Shannon said, defending herself. “When I made that statement, I wasn’t saying that your kids would be put in the system and taken away from you. It was had you been arrested and an adult wouldn’t have been present. They wouldn’t have left your children there until you got your legal things taken care of.”

Gina interrupted Shannon and asked her to list her children’s names. When the television personality drew a blank,the mom of threedemanded she “never talk about my children again.”
“I’ve known you for six years and you don’t even know my kids’ names,” she continued. “And you’re gonna drop a bomb about CPS. It is completely inaccurate. It is so inappropriate.”
She added, “You are out of bounds right here, Shannon, you were so wrong. And for you to have anything right now other than ‘I’m sorry for my behavior’ — you are going low.”
Shannon confessed it was an “unkind thing” while Gina claimed that she was “worried” about other people discussing her relationship with hernow ex-boyfriend John Janssenand that she was “making up things” about her children.

“This is who you are. You are the woman who gets proven that you did a s—ty thing and you don’t just lay down and say you’re sorry, it is not okay,” Gina continued, while Shannon admitted she was “horrified” watching the episode back.
Shannon defended herself once again, claiming that she believed they had resolved things the day after her explosive taco party. She told the group that she had always been “kind” to Gina and said she had a “laundry list” of good deeds — including sending her a lifeline when she was arrested for a DUI.

“This is a wound that has stayed with me and it will stay with me, you have crossed a line to the point where I don’t even know if I can honestly even continue to do this,” she said.
Ironically enough, 10 days prior to filming the reunion, PEOPLE confirmed that Shannon was “arrested at 1:17 a.m. on Sept. 17 after fleeing the scene from a collision that caused property damage,” according to the Newport Beach Police Department.
The NBPD also confirmed that Beador had been “booked for two misdemeanors — hit-and-run and DUI alcohol. She was released on a citation.”

“You and I both can relate to what’s happening here, sympathize to what’s happening here. Yes, obviously, you can’t ignore … the irony of it, which is major,” she told Shane. “But honestly, at the end of the day … I just don’t have it in me. I’m not going to kick someone when they’re down, and I’ve been down.”
“I know where she’s at right now. It’s not a good place to be — mentally, emotionally,” she added.
