Show of unity: Shannon Beador shared a selfie of her and her husband David enjoying a night out on Sunday which she posted after Monday night's explosive episode of RHOC where a rumour about David beating her was brought out into the open
Drama: Shannon appeared on Watch What Happens Live after the show to discuss rumours Vicki Gunvalson spread about her husband David 'beating the s*** out of her'
Shannon sat down with cast-mate Tamra Judge on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live the same evening as the women had a chance to address accusations made by Vicki Gunvalson about their relationships.
The women's husbands sat in the audience and also had their say on the matter.
In response to Vicki's claim that David 'beat the sh**' out of Shannon, David said: 'I regretted calling Vicki a pig, but her lies just continue to reinforce that she is one.'
When a caller asked why Shannon can't just let things go like Tamra does, she replied: 'I have forgiven and I’ve actually spoke to the pastor at our church and forgiving someone doesn’t mean you have to let them back in your life.
'Actually it’s a smart thing not bringing someone who continually lies. And now Vicki’s put an allegation out there about my husband that is a criminal act and that is horrendous. So, I am happy with the decision I made. Doesn’t mean I’m not letting go. I’m a kind person.'
Supportive: Shannon's husband sat in the audience during the live show and called Vicki's accusations lies. Shannon said that while she's forgiven Vicki she doesn't want her in her life
'Vicki dated Brooks and he was a bad guy, so she went after all of our husbands.' Tamra said she thinks her friend is jealous of their relationships
Meanwhile Shannon also spoke to E! on Monday about the damage Vicki's claims could do to her family.
'It is beyond me that someone would make an allegation about someone that is false, that has to do with a criminal act.
'To put that label on my husband that will affect him, will affect my children…because there will be a percentage of people that will believe Vicki and Kelly and we know our truth, but it's just hurtful. I just keep thinking about my kids…'
Responding to rumours Vicki spread about her husband cheating on her and being gay, Tamra told E! she wasn't letting it get to her.
'In one ear out the other': Tamra's husband Eddie was also in the audience on WWHL and said he doesn't care what Vicki says. Vicki spread the rumour that he's been cheating on Tamra and that he's gay
Broken friendship: Tamra said she thinks Vicki finally crossed the line by trashing her marriage and isn't sure there is any going back now
'For me it's laughable, totally laughable. We've been together seven years. If he wanted to be gay he'd just be gay, like, really? It's not like we can't find other people. Yes, I'm going to fall in love with someone who doesn't like me' she said.
But Tamra did admit that it was upsetting that it was her friend spreading the lies.
'I've never done anything to her, the only thing I ever did was try to protect her from Brooks and see how that ended up…I've done nothing to you but try to be a good friend.'
Eddie also got to have his say on WWHL on Monday when he said: 'Personally, it goes in one ear and out the other. Whatever she says doesn’t mean anything to me because she doesn’t mean anything to me.'
Several weeks ago Vicki threatened to expose 'secrets' of Shannon's relationship with her husband David if she was pushed too far.
Getting emotional: Shannon started crying when she heard what Vicki said about her husband on Monday night's episode
On the defense: Tensions flared when the ladies were in Ireland and Kelly Dodd started telling everyone what Vicki told her about their husbands
And things came to a head on Monday night's penultimate episode of the season when the secrets were exposed through Kelly Dodd who felt under attack by the women on a trip to Ireland.
Kelly ended up telling Shannon that Vicki had been telling people that her husband had hit her.
Shannon immediately denied the accusation.
'You know what [Vicki] said about you?' Kelly said. 'That your husband beat the s*** out of you. And it’s all out there now – how ’bout that?'
Meanwhile Vicki stood by her words 'When David went face to face with me, they said "Were you afraid of him hurting me?" And I said "Yes, I was afraid of David hitting me just like he hit his wife."'
'I have secrets of Shannon’s that she told me in confidence about her relationship with David and I told Kelly in privacy,' Vicki explained.
Spreading lies? Vicki was accused of spreading lies about Shannon Beador's husband David and Tamra Judge's husband Eddie
Up close: Tamra screamed 'f*** you' right into Vicki's face
'I never expected her to share it. Every single girl has problems in her relationships. [Shannon] doesn’t want to talk about it? Well guess what? I didn’t want to talk about what I was going through last year either.'
Kelly also had dirt on Tamra's husband Eddie who she said Vicki accused of cheating on her and also claimed he's gay.
Tamra snapped 'f— you,' in Vicki's face. 'You talked about my f****** husband? Go to hell.'
Vicki later told her daughter Brianna that she was only repeating what she heard about Eddie and told Kelly in confidence.
'It is beyond me that someone would make an allegation about someone that is false, that has to do with a criminal act,' Shannon told E! of her friend Vicki's claims
'I may have said to Kelly privately that there’s been stuff about Eddie,' she said. 'I don’t know if it’s true or not — I didn’t start it. They weren’t speaking to me in the beginning of the year – I was hurt!'
Meanwhile on Monday's show, Shannon huffed: 'She's going to attack our men because she's vengeful,' while Tamra said she thinks Vicki puts rumours out about their husbands because of her failed relationships.
'Vicki dated Brooks and he was a bad guy, so she went after all of our husbands. She didn’t just go after Eddie and David. She went after Jim, she went after Terry. She went after everybody, you just didn’t see it.'
Bravo will air the season 11 finale of RHOC on Monday.
Accusations: During Monday's show Shannon denied that David has ever abused her. The star is seen with her husband of 16 years on June 16
