Shannon Beador is rising above the drama—but not before a little shade.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star shared her hilarious reaction after former costar Alexis Bellino—who is married to Shannon’s ex John Janssen—recently revealed the results of her first facelift.
“Good for her,” Shannon, who has undergone multiple publicized cosmetic procedures herself, told E! News’ Erin Lim Rhodes in an exclusive joint interview with Heather Dubrow. “I hope the marriage stays intact because she might get sued!”
Of course, the 62-year-old is referencing her ex’s 2024 lawsuit in which John sued Shannon for money he allegedly gave her to get a facelift (the two ultimately settled the spat, though it’s unclear just how much of the $75,000 Shannon paid back, if any).
Regardless, Shannon is ready to put the love triangle drama behind her once and for all.
“I’ve moved on,” she told E!. “I don’t care.”

“I get baby Botox, but I can’t do a lot,” she told Vogue in September 2026. “If my skin is going to be a little saggier than I would like, at least it looks dewy and pretty.”
But while she has she has gone through with the Botox, she won’t bite the bullet on another popular procedure.
“I would love to have a buccal fat removal,” she added of the minor plastic surgery, where fat pads are removed from the lower cheeks for a slimmer look. “I can’t because everybody would know, but just know that I want that.”
As for the viral trend she’s scared of?
“Oh, I’m really nervous about these fat transfers,” she noted. “I support other people doing them because I want to continue to watch and see what happens, but I don’t know about that.”
“I’m officially day five post-surgery and I feel pretty much back to normal for the most part,” she shared in her January 2026 TikTok video. “I did a lift and an implant. Recovery hasn’t been as tough as I thought that it would be. This is a surgery that I have been wanting to do for quite some time now, really, since I stopped breastfeeding my daughter. My girls just never set the same as they did before.”

“My kids and husband all fought me on this decision saying ‘mom/wife you don’t need it, please don’t do it, what can we do to talk you out of it,” she recounted on Instagram. “But look at the results!!!! And now my husband and kids are all so happy with the results!!!!!! And truth is, it’s MY decision, not theirs.”
“I’m loving every minute of my next decade and my ‘refresh’!!!!!!!!” Alexis added. “It’s subtle, but it’s AMAZING!!!!”
“After 25 years of debate,” Rulla shared, “I finally decided to go ahead and get my rhinoplasty and a very minuscule lip lift while I was at it.”
“When I see someone and I can tell they’ve never done anything,” she told Allure in August 2025, “I wish I could go back and be that person. I was so hung up on this idea that I needed to be attractive to men so that I could survive.”
Still, she admitted, “I probably will [get more work done one day], but I’m just not as concerned with it right now.”
“My skin is tighter,” the reality star noted during the July 2025 episode. “I feel more youthful, more beautiful, more confident than ever before.”
“This reversal has been one of the most liberating and healing decisions I’ve ever made,” Larissa exclusively told E! News after downsizing from 1,500 cc implants to 700 cc implants.. “It feels like I reclaimed a part of myself that I had put aside for the sake of an image, for expectations that weren’t truly mine.”
“I just got it for the first time in my life,” he said during the season 11 reunion episode of Married to Medicine. “About a month ago. They gave me a little.”
“My biggest regret with my boobs is that I don’t know if I solely did it for me,” Jana said. “My biggest piece of advice is it has to be 100 percent for you.”
A month later, she spoke candidly about wrestling with her body image.
“I pray that my kids never struggle with their body images enough to mutilate their bodies to be skinny,” she said on Instagram. “I think a little nip and tuck in terms of a nose job, or like a boob job is OK. But to go through this to be skinny is mental illness, truly. And I say that with the most respect to anyone going through it.”
“I wanted people to see how, when you come out, the scars and the cuts and what it really looks like,” she exclusively told E! News of the procedure. “I literally looked like I’d been in a car crash and the car had won, but five days later you’re presentable. Ten days later I was in a restaurant completely fine.”
As for why the Bravo star was so open about her face lift journey? As she noted, “Being on a reality TV show, obviously it’s going to look weird if I come back next season looking 10 years younger, which I do, obviously.”
“I have actual abs,” she told People in an interview published March 2024. “I have lines on my stomach that I haven’t had since before I got pregnant. I think any mother knows after kids the elasticity of your skin will never be the same.”
She also revealed in April 2025 that she’s spent over $113,000 seeking treatment for a mysterious facial parasite.
“i’ll tell you what i’ve had!” she wrote on Instagram in July 2024. “you’re partially correct. tox in 11’s, outer brow, and my neck. ellevate for my neck in 2019 by @theneckdoctor minimal lip filler bc my face is too small to handle very much and filler in my chin. absolutely no filler anywhere else and def no bleph yet. hope this helps! i’ll keep yall posted if i do anything else.”
“I had work done on my double chin. We call it the turkey gobbler, runs in my family,” she said on the March 2024 episode of her When Reality Hits podcast. “No matter what I was going through, no matter how much weight I lost, I still felt I had something there.”
“They look really incredible when I take my top off and my bra off,” she shared on a March 2025 episode of her Miss Me? podcast. “But there’s definitely a contrast in age between my breasts and my face.”
She continued, “Now all the stuff is gone. Before I shot the ‘Applause’ video, [a photographer friend] was like, ‘Gaga, I love you but if you don’t stop injecting s–t in your face I’m going to just kill you.'”
“Now I feel comfortable,” she told Life & Style. “If there’s something you’re not comfortable with and you can correct it, great.”
“And after I had it done, the ball did roll for me,” she said. “And I wondered, did I give in to the man?”
She added, “I have to live with every decision that I’ve made. And it got me to where we are today. And I’m not going to look back.”
“I’m very comfortable and confident in myself,” she told People. “I just wanted a tune up.”
