Shannon Beador and Ex John Janssen’s $75K Loan Feud Turns Ugly!
The legal battle between Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador and her ex-boyfriend John Janssen has taken a dramatic turn as both parties demand their $75,000 loan dispute go before a jury.
Shannon and John’s Jury Showdown
According to court documents obtained by Radar, the former couple has opted to bypass mediation, declaring it futile, and requested a jury trial to settle their contentious financial dispute. Beador estimates the trial could last three to five days, while Janssen believes it will only require two.
At the center of their legal war are two alleged loans totaling $75,000. Janssen claims he provided the *RHOC* star $40,000 for a facelift procedure and another $35,000 during their four-year relationship. He accuses Beador of refusing to repay the money following their breakup.
Shannon Denies Debt Claims
Beador, however, is fighting back, asserting that the money Janssen provided was never intended to be repaid.
“[John] and [Shannon] were in a romantic relationship for over 4 years. During the relationship, the parties regularly shared their finances and assisted each other with certain financial contributions,” her attorney stated in court filings.
Her legal team argues that the funds were shared resources between partners and not formal loans with repayment terms. Beador is not only seeking dismissal of Janssen’s claims but is also asking the court to order him to cover her legal fees.
From Romance to Legal Wrangling
The once-happy couple called it quits after nearly four years of dating, with Beador publicly admitting she was blindsided by Janssen’s decision to end the relationship.
“All I can do is repeat in my head what he said to me while we were filming. We were in a great place. But seven days later, when the cameras were down, it was a completely different story,” Beador previously shared.
“He told me he was done with the relationship. And to hear what he said to me then was absolutely devastating.”
A New Romance Shakes Things Up
While the legal drama unfolds, Janssen has moved on — and his engagement to Beador’s RHOC costar, Alexis Bellino, has only added fuel to the fire.
Beador didn’t mince words when addressing Janssen’s high-profile romance with Bellino, which quickly became a hot topic among Bravo fans.
“I just think that the way Alexis and John have publicly displayed their relationship, I would have maybe been a little bit more quiet about it,” she said. “I don’t choose to live my entire life and choose to make my arguments with people publicly. If you’re so happy, just be happy. And you don’t need to advertise it.”
What’s Next in the Legal Battle?
With a jury trial looming, the $75,000 dispute is poised to spill even more secrets from the former couple’s relationship into the spotlight. Fans and Bravo insiders alike are watching closely as Shannon Beador and John Janssen’s financial feud continues to escalate.
Stay tuned for updates as the court drama unfolds — and as Bravo fans speculate whether this legal battle could spill over into RHOC storylines.
