While discussing the upcoming “Real Housewives of Orange County” season 19 reunion, which was taped earlier this month, and her connection with Gretchen Rossi, Shannon, 61, also commented on the swift publication of John and Alexis’ wedding story by PEOPLE magazine. The couple tied the knot on October 3, and their story was featured almost immediately afterwards.
“They got married, and the story was in PEOPLE magazine just two hours later,” Shannon remarked on the October 15 broadcast of SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live,” hinting at the couple’s “priorities” with a touch of sarcasm.
Despite acknowledging that the wedding “looked pretty,” Shannon concurred with Jeff’s observation that she “doesn’t give a sh*t” about her ex-boyfriend’s recent nuptials.
Although Shannon admitted the wedding “looked pretty,” she agreed with Jeff’s suggestion that she “doesn’t give a sh*t” about her ex-boyfriend’s new marriage.
“No,” she replied. “Time heals everything, and it makes you see more clearly.”
At another moment of Jeff’s show, Shannon confirmed the RHOC season 19 reunion had been filmed as she revealed she was seated in the last chair, which has long been thought to indicate a potentially jeopardized role on the show.
“I was at the end. I’ve never been at the end before. I’ve usually been in the first or second seat. I was in the end. I was straight across from [Heather Dubrow]. Heather and I were in the same position,” she shared as Jeff, 55, reasoned that she and Heather, 56, were “OGs” and likely had nothing to worry about in terms of season 20.
According to Shannon, “it was quite nice” to be out of the drama for once.
“By the grace of God, I wasn’t in a lot of the mix for once, so it was quite nice to be a part of it. But there were a lot of dark things that happened this year, and I wanted to be opinionated about them,” she explained.
Then, when asked if production chose to seat her next to Gretchen because they typically pair allies, Shannon said she “[thinks] so” as she defended her castmate against backlash.
“There were certain things that were potential issues for me during this season, but there’s still a lot more to come, and I think that Gretchen has a very big heart. I do believe that. I’ve seen it,” Shannon stated. “And she may have issues with some cast members, but then you look at how she’s treated other of us, and she doesn’t have a mean bone.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
