Shannon Beador

As any Bravo fan knows, it was major news earlier this year when Vicki Gunvalson, the ultimate OG of the Real Housewives franchise, was demoted to a recurring cast member after 13 seasons.

I have been watching The Real Housewives since 2008, and a common criticism I hear, other than the fact that it's trash reality television (what can I say, I'm a raccoon because I love garbage), is that for a show that's supposed to be about housewives, many of the women are not actually married.

I’m just gonna come out and say it.

For the past few years, all of us RHOC fans have watched Shannon Beador try literally fucking everything to make it work with her fuckboy of a husband, David.

Later this week—so like, tomorrow—Andy Cohen is heading out to OC to film the reunion for Real Housewives of Orange County.
