A Tale of Two Housewives DUIs


Shannon Beador and Karen Huger’s damage-control narratives are as different as the personas they’ve each spent seasons cultivating.

Fallout from the DUI arrest aside, the show also re-introduced Alexis Bellino, now engaged to Shannon’s ex, John Janssen, a move seemingly designed to push her over the edge. Even if viewers agree with Tamra on some level — the editors making sure to include every instance of Shannon ordering a drink certainly feels pointed — they don’t like the way she’s expressing herself. Ashley Darby giving Karen Uber gift cards and Gizelle naming a non-alcoholic cocktail the Grande Dame don’t provoke the same audience response as Tamra berating Shannon for the 19th time.
