She was sued by her Real Housewives of Orange County costar Alexis Bellino’s ex-husband for defamation after dishing about him on a podcast
Now Shannon Beador has been awarded $138,000 in attorney fees after a judge threw out Jim Bellino’s lawsuit against her, according to court documents obtained by The Blast.
The suit was launched after the 55-year-old reality star claimed on a podcast that people had been injured by Bellino’s trampoline business.
Shannon and her fellow housewife Tamra Judge, 51, appeared on an episode of the podcast Juice Scoop with comedian Heather McDonald, during which they took shots at Bellino.
The judge dismissed the case against Shannon, at which point she sought to recoup $220,000 in legal fees.
After Bellino objected that the amount was excessive and unreasonable, the court made its own calculations and awarded her $137,340.25 in attorney fees.
Though he’ll end up paying over $100K, Jim originally hoped to received $1 million in his suit against Shannon and Tamra.
Jim sought the defamation ruling because the two reality stars had allegedly spread lies about his then-impending divorce, which they claimed was fake.
The two also said customers had been paralyzed by the trampolines his business sold and that ‘he’s going to jail.’
Shannon and Tamra denied the defamation claim and said their comments were all rooted in truth.
Though the judge dismissed the lawsuit against Shannon, paving the way for the recovery of attorney fees, he allowed the suit to proceed against Tamra, so she’s still on the hook for $1 million.
Though the more serious claims from the podcast are still being disputed, the allegation that Bellino’s divorce was fake turned out to be demonstrably false, as Jim and Alexis finalized it in August 2018.
Alexis, who was a main cast member from seasons five to eight, confirmed their divorce in June of last year.
‘It is with heavy hearts that we inform the public of our mutual decision to end our marriage — but it’s important to us that you know we made this choice together, with love, and as the best decision for our children’s future,’ the Bellinos said in a joint statement. ‘We hold one another in the highest regards as spouses, and especially as parents. We have agreed on 50/50 custody of the children, and we ask that you respect our privacy by not theorizing about the reasons for our divorce.’
Shannon also recently uncoupled from her former husband, David Beador.
She was awarded $1.4 million in the April settlement, and she’ll also received $10,000 per month in support.
