The Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador has responded to claims made by Southern Charm’s Rodrigo Reyes that she was rude during their encounter at BravoCon.
“Can I say, and I apologize,” Shannon, 62, said on the Thursday, July 30, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, “Rodrigo, I don’t know who he is.”
In January, Rodrigo, 42, stirred up attention when he claimed on WWHL that Shannon had been “very rude” during BravoCon in November 2025.
“She was very rude and very condescending,” he alleged. “She was talking a lot of nonsense off to the side that Tyler [Dugas, my fiancé] heard. Tyler heard her talking about, like, Salley [Carson] and I having a better position in one of the fan rooms. Well, honey, show up on time and you won’t have to worry about that.”
On Thursday, Shannon emphasized that she did not intend to offend Rodrigo.
“Sophie [my daughter] was with me at all times at BravoCon, and I go, ‘Sweetie, who is this?’ She goes, ‘Mom, we never saw him,’” the Housewives star said, with Sophie, 23, nodding from behind the bar in agreement. “So, I don’t know. Andy knows me: I’m nice to everyone, but I’m sorry, Rodrigo.”

Shannon extended an olive branch to Rodrigo, inviting him to reconcile during Bravo’s upcoming fan convention in Charleston, South Carolina, this October.
“We’re doing Fan Fest together,” Shannon stated. “Let’s make up!”
Bravo is set to host a one-day fan event on Sunday, October 24, featuring cast panels, immersive experiences, pop-up activations, and meet-and-greets with Bravolebrities. Andy Cohen will also record two special episodes of WWHL in the lead-up to Bravo Fan Fest.
Personalities from Below Deck, Southern Charm, Southern Hospitality, Summer House, and the Housewives franchise, including Shannon and her RHOC castmates, are expected to attend. The OC series is currently celebrating its 20th season.
“I had such a great time. I laughed, I did silly, silly things,” Shannon exclusively told Us Weekly last month. “I can’t wait for people to see that. … I really think people are going to enjoy the season, because it’s not always about fighting all the time. Of course, we have our disagreements, but people want to see fun too.”
Shannon also shared with Us her excitement over her friend Vicki Gunvalson’s return to the show.
“I was excited about being back and being with my girlfriends and showing everybody what I’ve been up to,” Vicki, 64, told Us in a separate interview in June. “I’m still really good friends with Shannon on and off camera, Tamra [Judge] as well. It was easy.”
