Shannon Beador: I Do Not Lie and I Have Not Lied

"We all know Vicki has the reputation of lying and deflection."

By Shannon Storms Beador
Vicki Has Secrets About Shannon and David's Relationship

I am exhausted in this episode. Meghan’s candle party was the day after I moved so I could barely keep my eyes open! Congratulations to Meghan and Jim on their beautiful store!

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Peacock and the Bravo App.

I want to be clear. I never expected Vicki to call me or say “thank you” after I left her a message. I did, however, expect a text or some acknowledgment that she received my message. I didn’t call Vicki to “save face” and it certainly wasn’t weeks later either, it was days. Vicki was saying some unkind things about me at the party and when I was literally standing two feet in front of her, I was not going to act like I was in middle school and ignore it. In the three years that I have known Vicki, one thing is certain — that she has mastered the art of deflection. In true Vicki fashion, she accused me of lying. I do not lie and I have not lied. She is making something up...again. And I was blown away at her threats to me during her interview commentary. She claims to have secrets about my marriage and that is a joke. I am an open book that let everyone into a humiliating affair last year. We all know Vicki has the reputation of lying and deflection. To hear Donn say that Vicki is a “lying sack of dog s***” in the flashback kind of says it all.

Is Shannon and Vicki's Friendship Over?

Yes, my family sleeps on organic mattresses. You spend so many hours a day sleeping on a mattress that is filled with toxic chemicals, including fire retardant. I want my kids to live in the healthiest environment possible. Nothing wrong with that...

Congratulations to Heather and Terry on their book! What an accomplishment! I felt horrible that we were so late to the party, but David threw his back out exercising that day and was in a lot of pain.

I have grown quite tired of people telling me that I haven’t moved on from my issues with Vicki so I went into Heather’s book party with the intent of having fun with her. I will never be her good friend, but that doesn’t mean I can’t share a cocktail or a laugh with her from time to time. So when I made the effort to do just that, it was almost hurtful to hear Tamra and Heather say that they think that I am “afraid of Vicki” or that my interaction with her was “odd”. Which is it? I never have been or will be afraid of Vicki Gunvalson. I will say one thing — had I been aware of the nasty threats and lies Vicki was conjuring up behind my back, I never would have made an effort to interact with her at all.

Next on RHOC: Emotions Run High in Ireland

I was excited when Meghan announced a trip to Ireland! I have always wanted to travel there! It is truly an insane trip, and not all in a good way. Until then...
