The Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Storms Beador has just suffered a devastating family death. She recently wrapped up the iconic twentieth season of RHOC and was celebrating the momentous occasion. However, that was all derailed by a heartbreaking passing. Keep reading for more details on what happened.
Shannon Beador’s Heart Is Broken
It has been anything but easy for Shannon Storms Beador, but she has continued to persevere. RHOC fans watched as her husband, David, cheated on her, and her marriage fell apart. She dealt with weight struggles, financial problems, and a new romance with John Janssen. That crumbled down, and he sued her for $75K while dating show alum, Alexis Beador. By her side were her three daughters, Sophie, Adeline, and Stella, as well as her pup, Archie. He was an Orange County staple, and fans had grown rather fond of him over the last decade.
Recently, she shared that Archie had fallen ill and been diagnosed with brain cancer. Despite this, she and her family were going to do all that they could to fight it. They were not giving up on Archie, and this was shared on May 5th. However, it seems that Archie took a sad turn, and on May 14th, Shannon Storms Beador posted that her sweet pup had passed away. He died on Wednesday, May 13th, but luckily, her daughter, Stella, flew home from Paris and was able to be with him. She cited how special he was in her life and how grateful she is that he brought her their newer pup, Troy.
This was heartbreaking for the RHOC cast, who immediately sent their well wishes:
- Gretchen Rossi: Ahh my sweet friend, my heart breaks for you. I’m just so sorry for your loss. Loosing our fur babies is one of the hardest things ever 😢 sending you all healing prayers 🙏🏻❤️
- Tamra Judge: Sweet Archie is now running free in Heaven with all the tennis balls his heart desires 🎾❤️🩹 Thinking of you and the girls. 🙏🏼
- Gina Kirschenheiter: Heartbreaking 💔 he will be so missed ❤️
Fans Send Their Love
RHOC fans were extremely devastated over the loss of Archie Beador. Many have fallen in love with him as Shannon Storms Beador’s faithful companion. They saw how he was always by her side and how much he adored her and the girls:
