In an episode from this season, Shannon, 59, brought up the topic with Jennifer and suggested that Child Protective Services were ready to get involved.
Shannon claimed that Gina, 39, was “about to get arrested,” and that her three children Sienna, Nicholas, and Luca “would’ve gone to Child Protective Services,” according the Page Six.
Shannon suggested that she saved the day by putting Gina in touch with a friend who “called the DA” and prevented the drastic measures from being taken.
The gossiping came to a head when the Bravo ladies gathered for a day of pumpkin carving in a clip from the following week, and Tamra Judge, 56, addressed the rumors.
In front of the other Real Housewives stars, Tamra said: “So I will have to tell you, Gina took me aside and evidently, Jenn told her you brought up CPS at your party? That CPS was coming for her kids?”
Shannon passionately denied the words, exclaiming: “What? No! Jenn, you said that I said CPS was coming for Gina’s kids? What are you talking about? I would never say that!”
Despite being caught on film saying the words, she emphasized that she “never said it,” and told Jenn to “stop stirring sh*t up.”
After lots of arguing back and forth, Gina screamed: “It’s not true! Nobody gets a DUI and then their kids are taken from them. Let’s let this go.”
Shannon clapped back: “They were going to arrest you in the morning. They were going to be there.”
A riled-up Gina asked: “How do you know? Did you clock in with the cops?”
BUSTED
On September 16, Shannon was arrested for driving under the influence in California.
The star reportedly drove her car onto a residential property in Newport Beach and clipped the house, according to TMZ.
Shannon reportedly attempted to return to the road but instead parked her vehicle in the middle of the street.
After getting out of the car with her dog, sources claimed that the RHOC star tried to take a walk.
When the police arrived, the officers took Shannon into custody and seized her car as part of their investigation.
A rep for Newport Beach Police Department told the outlet that the TV star was booked on hit-and-run and DUI alcohol misdemeanor charges, and was released without bond.
Shannon’s lawyer, Michael Fell, told the publication: “I spent quite a bit of time with Shannon yesterday. She is extremely apologetic and remorseful.”
Michael concluded: “We will be awaiting the official information on this case as it becomes available, and Shannon is prepared to accept full responsibility for her actions.”
WILD SUMMER
Just weeks before her arrest, Shannon was asked to leave a bar in Costa Mesa due to a drunken argument.
In July, Shannon was joined by her ex-boyfriend, John Janssen, and his family, at the tiki bar.
However, late in the night, Shannon got angry and started “screaming” at John’s daughter.
A witness told an Instagram account @igfamousbydana that the star looked to be “wasted” and “had to be held back and removed by security.”
A source close to Shannon confirmed that there was an “argument” among several people and that “everyone was screaming at each other.”
