John Janssen reportedly sued his ex-girlfriend Shannon Beador for $75,000 after she allegedly borrowed the money for a facelift.
According to court documents obtained by People on Friday, the businessman, 61, filed suit in Orange County Superior Court alleging that the “Real Housewives of Orange County” star breached their oral contract and is committing promissory fraud by don’t pay it on purpose. again.
He allegedly lent her $40,000 via wire transfer on January 23, 2022, for the facelift and another $35,000 via in-person examination on May 20, 2023.
They reportedly agreed that Beador, 59, would pay again with curiosity. After several alleged requests for repayment in 2023 and 2024 from Janssen, he is now asking again for the full $75,000, plus accrued interest, prices and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
However, the suit star argues that the money was a gift.
She told People via a written statement: “I am shocked and disillusioned that John has taken legal action. My attorney has been in constant communication with your attorney. I agreed to pay John what he needed because he knew the legal charges would exceed the amount requested, but it is more important to eliminate the destructive emotional aspects that go into a lawsuit. It will be significant that I continue to focus on the positive aspects of my life and move forward.
“John declined the offer because he refused to sign a mutual non-disparagement agreement. I hoped that if I met his baseless demand, we could at least use this as an opportunity to fully close this chapter of my life.”
“EM. Beador’s claim that Mr. Janssen paid him the $75,000 as a ‘reward’ is completely without merit, as his emails and text messages will present,” Edson Ok. McClellan, Rutan & Tucker LLP, told Page Six. “Sir. Janssen is saddened that Ms. Beador’s reluctance to repay the loans has made it essential to open this case.”
Janssen and Beador’s relationship blossomed before the “RHOC” cameras in early 2019. However, they broke up in November 2022 after season 17 was filmed.
They remained friends until last fall. Coincidentally, their friendship appeared sour shortly after Beador was arrested for drunk driving and hit-and-run, and after Janssen grew closer to his former co-star Alexis Bellino.
“John Janssen and I are two people who met by chance,” Bellino told Page Six exclusively in November 2022. “We are discovering that we are in similar situations in our lives, as divorced parents, both coming out of recent heartbreak. due to the end of relationships.

Bellino, 46, and her ex-fiance, Andy Bohn, split in September 2023, virtually three years after he proposed.
In December 2023, the “RHOC” alum and Janssen had no problem publicly packing on the PDA, and Beador admitted she was “damaged” by their romance.
“How many Orange County housewives were there?” she joked to E! Timetable information. “Is this your relationship pool?”
Earlier this month, Janssen hinted that an engagement was on the way. He bought Bellino a $16,000 promise ring for Christmas last year.
“I can’t imagine my life without her,” he said on Page Six’s “Digital Reali-Tea” podcast.
