Shannon Beador pulled over by cops for dangerous driving move amid DUI probation
In September 2023, Beador, 61, was arrested for a DUI after careening her car into a Newport Beach residential property and then fleeing the scene.
Now she has apparently run afoul of the authorities once again, according to court records obtained by People magazine.
The documents state that she received a citation for 'driving while operating a handheld wireless telephone or electronic wireless communications device.'
She was released but will have to pay a fine - $20 for the first violation and $50 each for any subsequent ones - by Friday, July 11.
As a result of her highly publicized arrest on September 17, 2023, the reality star was given a three-year probation that expires November 1, 2026.
DailyMail.com has contacted Beador's representatives for comment.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Storms Beador was allegedly pulled over by the police on May 21 this year, amid her probation
Beador - who called her 2023 accident the 'lowest point of my entire life' - reportedly suffered a fractured left wrist among other injuries, and wound up blowing a .24% BAC (three times above the legal limit).
She was charged with one misdemeanor and sentenced to three years of probation, ordered to complete 40 hours of community service, and attend a nine-month alcohol program.
Beador also 'made full restitution to the homeowner' and enrolled herself in an outpatient behavioral wellness program with an alcohol component.
'I am grateful that no one else was injured besides me in this incident,' the Real for Real founder-CEO told TMZ in November.
'I have learned so much from my terrible mistake that night and realize that driving any distance while impaired is too far.'
During the 18th season RHOC premiere on July 11, Shannon issued a public apology to her three daughters - Sophie, 22; and twins Adeline & Stella, 20.
'I'm so sorry and humiliated that I disappointed you. Like, what kind of example am I at 59 years old?' Beador cried.
Stella responded: 'We're glad that you're okay and that no one was hurt.'
'I'm so sorry and humiliated that I disappointed you,' she said on the Real Housewives of Orange County after the crash: 'Like, what kind of example am I at 59 years old?'
Sophie added: 'And that you take accountability for your actions, and you learn from them and you grow.'
'I've never broken a bone, I've never had a concussion, I've never been in an accident, I've never been arrested, I've never had a DUI, and I did all that in 10 seconds,' the California blonde cried.
During Shannon's 2018 divorce battle, her ex-husband David Beador asked an OC Superior Court judge to prevent her from consuming alcohol 'eight hours before or during her time with their three daughters' - according to The Blast.
'The mother had publicly stated on television within the last month, she "self-medicates" with alcohol,' the 59-year-old businessman's legal docs stated.
'That behavior is detrimental to the children.'

John Fetterman offers surprising take on Trump's Epstein files debacle as he breaks with his party
Democrat John Fetterman is striking a different position on the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files from the rest of his party. Donald Trump's administration continues to be embroiled in controversy over the release of the secret files of former financier and convicted pedophile. His Attorney General Pam Bondi is at the center of the drama as she's refused to put out the documents despite urging from the MAGA right and Democrats on the left. Fetterman, the only Democrat to vote for Bondi to be confirmed as attorney general earlier this year, offered a new take on the drama. The senator exclusively told the Daily Mail last week that 'everybody thinks that' Bondi should release the files. But he says he's 'not preoccupied' with them, unlike many of his colleagues in both political parties. 'You know, we've had it for four years before, and we didn't release it,' he said about the ex-Joe Biden administration. 'So, you know, I don't, I don't, I don't really think about it much,' Fetterman added, seemingly throwing his own political party under the bus. However, Democrats are now seizing on the files as way to put Republicans on the spot heading into the midterm elections. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called for an FBI investigation last week into whether foreign governments are trying to use the Epstein files against Trump. Democrats have seized on Trump's reluctance to release the files as a political vulnerability heading into next year's midterm elections. Schumer's latest escalation is an attempt to elevate the scandal to having potential national security implications. At a press conference during his trip to Scotland in late July, Trump said that all of the hubbub about the files was a 'hoax.' He also noted that the 'files were run by sick, sick people' during the last administration and suggested they 'put things in the file that was a fake.' Trump is known to have run in the same social circles as Epstein, and the two were photographed at events together in the late 1990's and early 2000s. Their friendship doesn't mean the president took part in any inappropriate activity. A Wall Street Journal Report released earlier this month reported that Trump was one of Epstein's friends who wrote him a letter for his 50th birthday in 2003, accompanied by a sketch of a naked woman, prompting president to deny that reporting and sue the paper. Another report by the paper revealed that Bondi told Trump his name was included in the files multiple times, sparking theories as to why the DOJ is refusing to release the full documents. Bondi has been reluctant to release the files, and called last month for a grand jury to release the transcripts from the criminal cases of Epstein and his top accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump himself said that he was the one who pushed Bondi to call for the release of the transcripts. 'Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval,' Trump wrote in a July 17 post on his social media site Truth Social. 'This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!' The Trump administration's refusal to release the full Epstein files dominated the news cycle for most of July and both the president's political allies and adversaries are growing weary. Donald Trump once said he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and get away with it. But the scandal is proving difficult to tamp down. A rebel band of Republican lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives including some of MAGA's biggest stars - like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert - have even joined forces with hundreds of Democrats to force a bombshell ballot on the Epstein files. Despite the typical partisan battle lines being drawn on most issues in Washington, D.C. these days, this matter in particular has created an unlikely set of bedfellows. Progressive Democrat Ro Khanna and libertarian-minded Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky teamed up last week to introduce the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which would compel Attorney General Pam Bondi to publicly release all unclassified materials relating to Jeffrey Epstein. The duo's resolution is receiving the the backing of a diverse set of members, including New York socialist darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Michigan 'Squad' member Rashida Tlaib, as well as Boebert of Colorado, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, and Greene of Georgia. Even if only the 10 GOP co-sponsors of the resolution were to support it, it would easily pass the House as just a simple majority is need, which is 218 votes out of 435. Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home for the August recess before a vote on Khanna and Massie's resolution could be held.
