Jeff Lewis wants justice for Shannon Beador. While appearing on Tuesday night’s (June 18) episode of Watch What Happens Live, Lewis called out host Andy Cohen and Bravo for firing Beador’s allies ahead of The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18.

As we know, former RHOC star Alexis Bellino is returning to the series as a “friend of” — however, she’s also dating Beador’s ex-boyfriend John Janssen. In the Season 18 trailer, Bellino brags about her new relationship in front of Beador as she shows off her new ring and discusses her plans to marry Janssen.

“Shannon, this season, boy, she’s got a lot coming at her,” Cohen said during the WWHL After Show, while Lewis added, “I feel for her.”

While both men agreed that there’s “no better TV” than seeing Beador “activated,” Lewis — who is good friends with the reality star — had a bone to pick with Cohen.

“I just didn’t like that you took away all her allies. You know what I’m saying? She went in with the wolves,” he told Cohen, who is an executive producer on RHOC.

Cohen argued that they “didn’t” take away Beador’s allies, though Lewis named Taylor Armstrong and Vicki Gunvalson as two of Beador’s confidants who are no longer on the show.

“Well, she and Tamra [Judge] were allies,” Cohen pointed out. However, it should be noted that Beador and Judge have been publicly feuding for months now, so it’s not clear how much of the season was filmed before they sparked up their feud.

The Real Housewives of Dubai star Caroline Stanbury then chimed in, “That is a terrible situation that woman is in. Let’s just give her a minute. That is an incredibly bad position to be in for anybody,” referring to Beador needing to film the show with her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend.

“Well, they set her up. They [as in] Bravo,” Lewis shaded, to which Cohen fired back, “You calm down.”

Watch What Happens Live airs Sunday through Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
