“When my girlfriends and I arrived together for a fun night out, I was quickly made aware that Shannon was also at the same restaurant,” Bellino told the outlet. “Shannon and I did not interact that evening, but it saddens me to hear that she may harbor negative feelings or resentment toward me.”

Regarding the fallout from Beador’s crash and arrest, Bellino said she “wishes Shannon nothing but the best because I know she’s going to have some tough times ahead.”

She was “booked for two misdemeanors – hit-and-run and DUI-alcohol;” and ‘released based on a quote.’

Bravo personality Jeff Lewis, a friend of Beador, said Beador “was injured” and “will recover” in the aftermath of the incident.

“Shannon and I have been friends for a long time,” Lewis said on his SiriusXM show. “I was shocked – she called me yesterday and we talked for a while – and I was shocked because I never knew Shannon to ever drink and drive.

“I’ll tell you she takes full responsibility. She’s ashamed, she’s ashamed. Personally, as her friend, because people say, ‘Oh, she needs rehab,’ ‘Oh, she’s an alcoholic,’ I don’t think Shannon is an alcoholic.”

He added: ‘I think she’s going through a lot of personal issues at the moment, and I think she’s leaning on alcohol – but I don’t think she’s an alcoholic.’

Lewis said Beador is “going to therapy this week” after the accident and arrest.
