Emily Simpson Reveals 'Discreet' Advice She Gave Shannon Beador While Settling Lawsuit With Ex John Janssen (Exclusive) originally appeared on Parade. Emily Simpson is shedding light on the 'discreet' advice she gave her Real Housewives of Orange County co-star Shannon Beador while settling her lawsuit with ex John Janssen. The Bravo personality and attorney, 49, opened up about her conversations with Beador, 61, while chatting exclusively with Parade ahead of the Season 19 premiere of RHOC. Last season, fans saw Beador and Janssen — along with RHOC alum and now-fiancée Alexis Bellino — battle it out over a $75,000 loan Janssen had claimed to lend Beador when they were dating. The lawsuit was settled in November last year. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 'Shannon did come to me a lot, actually, and we had multiple conversations because there was a lot of negotiating [and] going back and forth,' Simpson begins. 'It wasn't just as easy as it looked on TV. She would call me, text me, send me screenshots of stuff. I'm just talking about that now because it settled. I didn't talk about it at the time. I was very discreet in what was going on.' Noting that Beador asked her a lot of questions and asked for her thoughts and opinions on the matter, Simpson goes on to tell Parade that she told her she 'thought it was best that she pay the man and settle it.' She continues: 'Because even at the end of the day, even if she's determined that she's right, and it wasn't a loan and it was a gift, you still have to banter back and forth. He still has to be in her life. She still has to pay an attorney, she still has to most likely go to a trial, and that is so weighing, and I just thought, 'You know what? Shannon, it is worth it for you to write that check. You're basically writing a check for him to leave you alone. Just think of it like that. You're writing a check for the man to go away. Both of them. You're just writing a check for them to leave you alone. It's worth it.'' Simpson and Beador are just two of the Bravolebrities returning for Season 19 of RHOC. Heather Dubrow, Gina Kirschenheiter, Tamra Judge, Jennifer Pedranti and Katie Ginella are also returning for the next drama-filled installment of the long-running reality series, with former cast member Gretchen Rossi making her return to the small screen as a friend of the cast.

RHOC star David Beador seen with wife Lesley days after filing restraining order AGAINST her
Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador's and ex-husband, David Beador was seen with his current wife, Lesley Beador, just days after he filed a restraining order against her. The 60-year-old former Bravo star was photographed with his younger estranged wife, 41, at the Montage Big Sky Resort in Montana on Wednesday. Images showed the former couple sitting on a couch next to one another as they were shared on social media including on popular fan Instagram account Bravo And Cocktails in addition to Reality Blurb. No doubt it was an interesting reunion as David had taken legal action against Lesley in a filing made on June 17. has reached out to David and Lesley but have yet to hear back. In the images which have surfaced on social media, David had a drink in his hand as Lesley scrolled on her phone. It must be noted that she was wearing the same polka dot headband, black top, and gold jewelry in Instagram photos shared on Wednesday. She posted a selfie with she and David's four-year-old daughter, Anna, with the caption: 'Mini.' Lesley shared multiple photo dumps on Instagram of the scenic vacation including one caption naming the resort which read 'Whoopin' it up, under the Big Sky's!' and another that said 'Montana you have my heart!' The vacation together came at an interesting time as People reported just a day prior that David had filed for restraining order against Lesley due to her alleged physical abuse. The weekly obtained legal documents in which David filed for protection against Lesley and requested that she be ordered to stay 100 yards away from him, his home, and his work. The only exception which was requested was for custody exchanges of their daughter Anna Love. According to People, David's petition read: 'Lesley has physically abused me on several occasions and only a small portion of those incidents have been detailed in previous domestic violence actions. 'Lesley is a pathological liar and she will state under penalty of perjury literally anything that will benefit her.' He then went on to allege that his estranged wife, who is nearly two decades his junior, married him for money. He claimed in the legal documents: 'Lesley and I have had many ups and downs in our marital relationship, with prior [divorce petitions] filed and dismissed and domestic violence restraining orders. 'I have always been concerned that Lesley's relationship with me has been primarily based upon her desire to live a luxurious standard of living. in our case [it's] not just a cliché that Lesley married me for my money. In our case it is a fact, she has made that very clear to me literally.' David also went on to claim that he and and his estranged wife had an argument on June 11 in which 'Lesley physically attacked me, gouging large chunks of skin out of my arm.' He alleges that she had also shoved her fingers in his mouth, accused him of biting her fingers, and slapped him in the face multiple times. People also reports that two days after this alleged altercation, Leslie accused David of being gay, which he denied. In addition to staying 100 yards away from him, his home, and his work, Lesley was also forced to vacate his Newport Beach, California home so then she headed to their home in Montana. Lesley brought their daughter Anna in addition to her children from a previous relationship Inga and Indris Pukke. The two have had a rather contentious split as David was served divorce papers by Lesley back in September. In court documents, obtained by In Touch at the time, Lesley filed to end their nearly four-year marriage due to 'irreconcilable differences' on September 17, 2024. Lesley was awarded a temporary restraining order for domestic violence against David the week prior. Lesley listed her date of separation from David as September 8, 2024. She is seeking primary legal and physical custody of their little girl and has 'proposed David be awarded visitation.' While she is seeking spousal support, Lesley wants the court to 'terminate David's right to collect any support' and for him to pay her 'legal fees in the case.' As for their community property, In Touch noted that Lesley said that 'various community property assets, the full extent, nature and location are currently unknown at this time.' In response to her Lesley's petition, David challenged the the date of their split. He claimed they broke up on September 17, not September 8 as she had listed. He also wants joint legal and physical custody of their daughter and 'Lesley be paid spousal support per the terms of their prenuptial agreement.' Per, their prenup, he is willing to pay Lesley $10,000 a month. He noted that their prenuptial agreement, which they both agreed to on October 9, 2020, 'covers all assets and debts.' David also requested the court have Lesley pay her own legal fees. Lesley's divorce petition was filed days after she received a temporary restraining order against David, who she accused of being verbally abusive and creating a 'hostile environment for her and her children.' Lesley shares her two eldest children with a man named Eriks. On September 9, 2024 she claims David 'stormed outside' when her ex came to pick up their kids and yelled 'obscenities' at him. 'All the children were present and witnesses [David's] behavior toward Eriks. It was very scary. I recorded this whole incident and will provide the videos to the court,' Lesley said. She continued: 'After this incident I received about 59 harassing texts from [David] in a row telling me I was 'having sex with him,' 'I should go have sex with him,' and was accusing me of all kinds of things that could never be possible. [David] truly needs help. He gets in an obsessive mania state.' David has vehemently denied his estranged wife's abuse allegations. 'Lesley routinely tells me I am abusive when I disagree with her or make my opinions known. She has a habit of texting me consistently for hours at a time, trying to spark a reaction out of me. I believe Lesley is angry because I cut off the unlimited spending ability on her credit cards over the weekend,' he claimed. He went on to accuse Lesley of trying to extort him and insisted 'she is upset because' he 'cancelled her credit card with unlimited spending.' 'I am not required to sustain her lifestyle,' he stated. 'Lesley will spin whatever story she needs to spin in the correct circumstance to get what she wants.' A judge, ultimately, granted Lesley a temporary restraining order against David, which requires him to 'stay 100 yards away and out of their home until a hearing next month.' David was previously married to Shannon Beador between 2000 to 2019. The pair share daughters Sophie, 23, and twins Stella and Adeline, 21. In 2023, David previously filed for divorce from Lesley. The former reality star cited celeb-favorite 'irreconcilable differences' for the reason behind the filing and interestingly listed the date of separation as September 15, which was same date as the divorce filing. David and Lesley were married in October 2020 and welcomed their little girl just four months later. After the initial court filing in September 2023, Lesley had claimed that she was filing for divorce after he had his dismissed, but hers was also dismissed eventually. Then, in May 2023, the pair each filed for divorce again. She filed for divorce on May 29 while he filed for divorce one day later on May 30.

What it's really like staying at Bravo's famous 'Love Hotel'
Article content When Bravo's Love Hotel contestants arrived at Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos in the fall of 2024, they brought cameras, calculated drama and the kind of visibility that can either enhance or overshadow an upscale property. For four weeks, Real Housewives stars Shannon Storms Beador, Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby and Luann de Lesseps navigated romantic connections against the backdrop of infinity pools and panoramic Sea of Cortez views. Now, with their televised relationships reaching millions of viewers, the question remains: is Grand Velas Boutique merely a beautiful backdrop, or does this newcomer to Baja's luxury landscape offer substance beyond its moment in the television spotlight? Article content Article content Article content Article content From the moment you arrive, its austere architecture, which complements the stark beauty of Baja California, captures your attention. Designed by Ricardo Elias, sweeping curves and tiered terraces cascade toward the Sea of Cortez, offering ocean views from nearly every angle. It's bold but not overbearing—this is refinement that respects its surroundings. Article content The Baja Peninsula's unique geography—where desert meets ocean—further amplifies a stark visual contrast that inspired Grand Velas Boutique's design ethos. The property deliberately incorporates native desert plantings requiring minimal irrigation, acknowledging water's precious status in this arid environment. 'The property integrates natural and cultural elements into its design and offerings, allowing visitors to experience the region's authenticity,' notes Rodrigo Esponda, managing director of the Los Cabos Tourism Board. 'This evolution reflects Los Cabos' commitment to high-quality tourism that values excellence and local identity.' Article content Article content Article content Grand Velas Boutique's signature touch is the bougainvillea, which spills from rooftops and terraces in fuchsia blooms. It's a deliberate esthetic choice that adds colour and connects it to the history of Velas Resorts, where these resilient flowers have been cultivated since the Mexican brand's first property opened in Puerto Vallarta. Here, they have taken over the landscape, adding organic beauty to its already impressive surroundings. Article content Accommodations balance comfort and elegance without excess. At over 900 square feet, Ambassador Suites offer private terraces with plunge pools overlooking the Sea of Cortez, where pelicans dive for fish throughout the day. Interiors feature muted colour palettes and comfortable furniture that invites real use, bathrooms with proper lighting and generous counter space, and amenities like Dyson hair tools that blend premium with practicality.
