Beador's friend Jeff Lewis spoke about her arrest during the Sept. 18 episode of his SiriusXM show, "Jeff Lewis Live."  

"Unfortunately, [Shannon] got a DUI on Saturday night. She was also in a car accident. She was injured, so she’s going to be recovering," the 53-year-old "Flipping Out" star said. 

"Shannon and I have been friends for a very long time. I was shocked. She called me yesterday. We talked for a while, and I was shocked because I’ve never known Shannon to ever, ever, ever drink and drive. That is something that we have both discussed previously.

Lewis explained that he did not believe Beador is an alcoholic and shared that she planned to seek professional help.

"People are like, 'Oh she needs rehab,' ‘Oh she’s an alcoholic.’ I don’t think Shannon is an alcoholic," he said. "As her close friend, I think she’s been going through a lot of personal struggles right now. And I think she has been leaning on alcohol, but I don’t think she’s an alcoholic.
