In case you missed it:
Shannon is getting sued by her ex, John Janssen, for failing to repay a facelift loan.
According to reports from People, “The Real Housewives of Orange County star’s ex-boyfriend filed a lawsuit in Orange County Superior Court against her for breach of oral contract and promissory fraud, among other things, to recover $75,000 he claims she failed to repay him.”
“In the complaint, Janssen, 61, alleges that Beador, 59, turned to him for financial support in early 2022, borrowing $40,000 via wire transfer on Jan. 23, 2022 for a facelift procedure. Then, on May 20, 2023, he gave her another $35,000 via personal check.”
“In both instances, Janssen claims in the docs, Beador agreed to pay back the loan with interest. But despite multiple requests in 2023 and 2024, Janssen claims she has yet to.”
Shannon’s Statement In Response To John’s Facelift Lawsuit:
Although Vicki didn’t comment immediately on Shannon’s facelift loan, Shannon went on the record immediately.
“I am shocked and disappointed that John has a filed a lawsuit. My attorney has been in constant communication with his counsel. I agreed to pay John what he wanted because I knew that attorneys fees would surpass the amount sought, but more importantly to eliminate the negative emotional components that come with a lawsuit. It is important that I continue to focus on the positive aspects of my life and move forward.”
The statement continued, “John declined the offer because he refused to sign a mutual non-disparagement agreement. I was hoping that if I met his baseless demand we could at least use this as an opportunity to bring complete closure to this chapter in my life.”The suit will come as a surprise to RHOC fans, who have heard through Beador in the past that Janssen was financially dependent on her during their time together.
According to Shannon, “the money was a ‘gift’ — something her ex disputes and allegedly has proof of otherwise.” The former RHOC couple dated for three and half years before splitting in January 2023.
