The star of 'Real Housewives of Orange County' is turning her life around after feeling "ashamed" as she told BravoCon in November 2023, “I’ve spent the last month, which I really had that amount of time, focusing on myself."

“I never drink and drive. I’m the Uber girl. But you know there were a lot of unhealthy things going on in my life and I did drink more alcohol," she said.

Shannon, who was arrested for a hit-and-run and DUI involving alcohol also served time in jail.

She posted a $2,500 bail after the incident. The Newport Beach Police Department's animal control unit also initiated an investigation, as her dog, Archie, was in the car at the time of the accident.

Before being officially charged and receiving a three-year probation sentence, Shannon entered an outpatient program to address her substance abuse problems as per the New York Post. 

The report stated that Shannon and David have gotten on better terms.
