Inside Shannon Beador's call with her husband's mistress: Real Housewives of Orange County star claims other woman said David was 'obsessed' with her
Having just marked their 15th wedding anniversary earlier this month, Real Housewives of Orange County's Shannon Beador and her husband David should be celebrating.
Instead the couple recently visited the set of Watch What Happens Live together and revealed they're still trying to work past the long-term affair David had which seems to be tearing Shannon apart.
The reality star has been very candid about her marriage struggles and confessed that her husband's former mistress contacted the mother-of-three.
Last month, DailyMail.com exclusively identified David's mistress as blonde executive Nicole McMackin, who is married to the president of a successful Orange County tech firm.
'I have actually spoken to her because she called me once,' Shannon told Andy Cohen in a preview of an interview set to air on Bravo on Monday. 'But I've never sought her out.'
'In that conversation I wanted to say certain things but I didn't. I said, "I want my family back."'
Beador continued, 'Her response was, "He's obsessed with me! He wants to marry me! I don't even know the guy," and it was not, it wasn't a kind conversation.'
