"So annoying"— The Real Housewives of Orange County fans criticize Heather for sharing Shannon's story with the cast

The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 aired a new episode this week. The segment saw chaos in the group as several arguments flared out between cast members, including one between Heather Dubrow and Shannon Beador.

Shannon was upset when she found out Heather had told the cast member about their conversation in Sonoma about her DUI and whether John Beador heard the crash. Heather stated she didn't remember Shannon telling her not to tell anyone about their conversation and said that since Tamra already knew, she assumed it was "for public consumption."

Shannon criticized the cast member for not checking up on her after the previous argument on the same topic, which offended Heather. She said it was a "spin job" to try to place blame. Fans of the Bravo show reacted to the segment online and were critical of Heather's behavior. One person wrote on X:

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember Shannon specifically asking you to not share with the group. It should just be basic common sense to not share that story. Heather is so annoying"

"I have lost all respect for Heather- the mask has come off this season and we are finally seeing the real Heather and it isn’t pretty," a fan commented.

"Feeling ‘justified’ is Heather’s feelings, but feelings aren’t facts. Especially after Heather said she would NOT bring it up in the group to Shannon’s face, which is a receipt we do have," a tweet read.

Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 criticized Heather for blaming Shannon:

"Heather really blamed Shannon?!?! She said it was Shannon’s fault that she (Heather) repeated their private conversation to the entire group, because Shannon confided the same information to 1 other person in the group. B*tch, WHAAAAT????" a person wrote.

"I can’t wait until they show the flashback on the reunion this was Heathers worse season and I love Heather," a fan commented.

"I actually feel so bad for Shannon, this was her birthday trip, and not a single person has remembered that. I’m so tired of Heather acting like she’s God and Tamra is the biggest snake alive," a tweet read.

Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County further said:

"The moment that Heather insinuated that Shannon was having a psychotic break in s9, Shannon should have realized Heather’s true nature. Heather hates Shannon deeply, and they will never be friends if we are being honest," a person wrote.

"The fact production showed a flashback of that moment in season 9 between Heather and Shannon is so timely. Shannon only had told Tamra about the email David sent. Tamra told Heather and Heather gossiped with her friends about it. She lied then and is lying now," a fan commented.
