Furthermore, Beador’s friend, Jeff Lewis also stated how the reality star was also injured due to the accident, but is now recovering:

"Shannon and I have been friends for a very long time. I was shocked. She called me yesterday and we talked for a while, and I was shocked because I’ve never known Shannon to ever, ever drink and drive. I will tell you she’s accepting full accountability.”

Furthermore, Lewis stated how social media users and people around Shannon Beador have been claiming that she is an alcoholic, but he denied the same. Claiming that she is “not an alcoholic,” he shared how Beador is soon going to enter counselling.
