Shannon Beador shared her thoughts on Joel Kim Booster‘s social media comments about her.
Booster is reportedly hosting a new The Real Housewives spinoff dating show for Peacock starring stars from Bravo‘s franchise, such as Shannon Beador, Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, and Luann de Lesseps.
As the reality series wrapped filming, Booster took to social media to air his grievances about someone in the cast.
Beador was asked about the comments during a fan Q&A as part of her comedy tour alongside The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Vicki Gunvalson.
The reality TV personality said she was at the airport when she found out about Booster’s comments, adding, “I really don’t know what it’s about.”
Beador said that “before the wrap party,” Booster “had tears in his eyes, and he said, ‘I’m so happy for you.'”
“He trashed my daughters,” Beador added. “He said that I hope that I suffer. He said he feels sorry for John Jansen. He says that I’m nothing but a pathetic drunk and it’s really going to look silly for him because he had nothing but love for me the entire show.”
Beador continued, “What I’m sad about is that I did some kind things on the show and people said it was kind. It’s hard for me to walk away from an experience that I really enjoy. But we’ll see what happens. I don’t know where it came from, I really don’t.”

Booster said in the first of a series of now-deleted Instagram Stories that the Bravo fan account Bravo Historian shared on X, “Just because you’re a pathetic drunk on a reality television show best known for a string of failed relationships and a DUI does not make you a star and does not give you license to treat the people you work with like they are subhuman. Period. They will make me delete this but DM me if you’d like to see some videos. Besos!”

The Fire Island actor didn’t specifically call out the Real Housewives star, but it all pointed to Booster talking about Beador.
Beador was involved in a hit-and-run incident while driving under the influence in September 2023. The RHOC star was subsequently sentenced to three years probation. RHOC Season 18, currently airing on Bravo, shows Beador dealing with the consequences of her actions. Beador’s storyline also involves the fallout of her relationship with John Janssen, who is now dating her co-star Alexis Bellino.
In a second IG post, Booster said, “Well that was quick. Anyway. Don’t regret it hope you screenshot it. Hope she suffers.”
The biggest tell that Booster was referencing Beador was in the third Instagram Stories post where he mentions her ex-boyfriend saying, “Well let’s just say I can’t imagine what John Janssen went through. Poor guy.”
Deadline has reached out to Booster’s reps for comment.
