Kody Brown isn’t the only one with multiple marriages under his belt. In the Sister Wives family, more than one Brown has been married more than once. Robyn Brown, the patriarch’s favorite, was married for years before becoming the fourth wife. And even Janelle Brown, arguably the most loyal of the bunch, had walked down the aisle previously. But who is the mother of six’s first husband? Let’s find out.
Janelle married her first husband when she was 20 years old, Adam Clark Barber, in 1988. However, their marriage was short-lived and ended in 1990. The couple were married on December 8 at the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. For the two years that they lived in wedded bliss, they made their home in Sandy, Utah. The wedding announcement at the time also showed that Janelle had attended Bringham Young University. Adam was one of 26 siblings and was the brother of Meri Brown, which for a time meant the two women were sisters-in-law before Janelle joined the polygamous clan. Not much is known about Adam. Sadly, in October 2023, the brother of Meri passed away.
His obituary read that he “passed away at home after a brave 10-month fight with pancreatic cancer on October 5, 2023, surrounded by family. He was born in Oakland, CA, to William “Bill” James Barber Jr. and Bonnie Joyce Ahlstrom. Adam’s childhood in California spurred a lifelong love for Mickey Mouse and the LA Dodgers; he loved building traditions with his family in Disneyland and watching baseball games.” During his life, Adam listed in the United States Air Force and retired at the rank of MSgt in the 419th Fighter Wing Security Forces at Hill Air Force Base
Adam had worked as a manager at a Lehi Jimmy Johns location. After his divorce from Janelle, Adam found the love of his life, Tammy. The duo married on June 6, 2014. According to the obituary, “Their connection was a bond unbroken and spoke to the enduring power of love in the face of adversity.” Janelle wrote about her first husband in the Brown Family’s 2012 book Becoming Sister Wives. She noted, “Unfortunately, Adam and I had problems right from the start. We weren’t spiritually, emotionally, or romantically compatible.”
Janelle wrote, “We lived together for only six months before he moved out. Although my husband and I had separated, I remained close to his family, including Adam’s sister Meri (little did I know how close we’d eventually become).” According to the Sister Wives star, “Adam was not completely committed to his fundamentalist faith, and I was happy to welcome him to the LDS church. Not long after he converted, we began courting. Soon we were married in the temple, but my husband wasn’t really interested in either his new faith or the branch of fundamentalism he had been raised in. In fact, he had very little spiritual conviction.”
Last week Janelle spoke out on the Reality Life with Kate Casey podcast and opened up about her life with Adam. The host joked that the union might have been a “starter marriage” for both of them. And Janelle laughed replying, “It was very, very short-lived. It probably really qualifies.” The 55-year-old added, “it just didn’t take.” The mother of six was happy to be invited to join the Browns in 1993 and never looked back.
Janelle eventually married Kody in 1993. She shared, “I pretty much made the decision to join the faith….but I was not at Meri’s house all the time. I mean, I was there occasionally. I just happened to be there one time when Kody came. And I already was intrigued with the faith. It represented something a little more dynamic or something more robust than the traditional LDS faith I had.” And as they say, the rest is history. Cupid’s arrow found Janelle, as she shared, “When I met Kody just in passing, Meri introduced us. I go, ‘Oh,’ I had sort of a feeling. Like, ‘Oh, there you are.’”
TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK OF JANELLE’S FIRST MARRIAGE?
James Solis and Meitalia Tantri Solis were one of four new couples this season, who attempted an unsuccessful move to Indonesia. Corona Blakey ran into similar troubles with her Icelandic boyfriend Ingi Hilmar. Joanne DiGesu also faced problems by hiding her marriage to her Irish husband Sean from her family. Finally, Josh risked it all to move to China for his wife Lily.
While some couples had successful stories this season, others didn’t. Two couples came out in the middle, and two emerged as the season’s winners, with two unfortunately as the losers.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, Shekinah and Sarper – Winners
Surprisingly, Shekinah and Sarper emerged as one of the winning couples this season. Shekinah moved to Turkey during Season 5, however, she returned to America briefly to work. At the start of Season 6, she and Sarper had an emotional reunion. Despite a major fight that resulted in Shekinah temporarily moving out, the couple worked through things.
At the end of the season, Sarper decided it was time for him to propose to Shekinah. It was one of the most romantic 90 Day Fiancé proposals I’d ever seen. Sarper took Shekinah on a boat and projected her name onto the bridge between Europe and Asia. Shekinah happily accepted and the two ended the season with an engagement ceremony. While the couple may be slightly controversial at times, there is no doubt that these two truly love one another.
Joanne and Sean – Winners
The other winning couple of the season are Joanne and Sean. While they were the last pair introduced this season, their story quickly picked up momentum. Joanne explained that she had met Sean online and eventually traveled to Ireland to meet him. After meeting in person a few times, the couple decided to secretly get married. During the season, they revealed the news to their kids and loved ones, which received mixed reactions.
At the end of the season, Joanne revealed to Sean that she wasn’t ready to move to Ireland. She admitted she needed more time as her kids were still processing things. However, in the preview for Tell All, Sean is in America with Joanne. It seems like the pair found a way to work through things to make their marriage work. Joanne and Sean were also the only couple this season who didn’t really argue. They stressed over their living situation, but they never had any major issues with one another.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, Statler and Dempsey – Losers
The first losing couple of the season are Statler and Dempsey. After leaving her home in Texas, Statler decided to buy a van with Dempsey to travel around Europe. This resulted in many problems for the pair, including multiple arguments over finances. Statler felt that she was contributing more than Dempsey, and worried that she was being used. Dempsey, on the other hand, felt frustrated dealing with Statler’s anxiety and was impatient with her.
The last we saw of Statler and Dempsey was their conversation deciding what to do going forward. Statler expressed that she wanted to put a time limit on things, to see if things could improve between them. However, as viewers now know, Statler and Dempsey have broken up. The two have been engaged in an online feud for months, with Statler claiming that Dempsey cheated on her. Neither woman will appear at the Tell All, which hints at them possibly having been fired by TLC.
Corona and Ingi – Losers
The second losing couple from Season 6 are Corona and Ingi. At the beginning of the season, a few things seemed off between these two. Corona revealed that she was giving up a spot in a prestigious midwifery program to move to Iceland. Ingi, on the other hand, emphasized that he wasn’t anywhere close to being ready for marriage.
Throughout the season, Corona and Ingi began to realize their differences. At the end of the season, Corona told Ingi that she was considering returning to the US for school. While Ingi seemed open to making things work, it looks like that unfortunately didn’t happen. The Tell All preview shows the entire cast including Corona hanging up on Ingi, implying that they’ve since broken up. While Corona seems angry at Ingi, he doesn’t appear to understand why she’s so upset.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Meredith Marks is all about a good bath. Her Season 5 tagline is even focused on her favorite past time. She said, “I’m known for my tub, and this year I’m bathing in glory.” And she’s also bathing in her new bath bomb created by Lush Cosmetics. Could this be her way to one-up Whitney Rose for trying to steal her thunder in the bath product industry? The bath bomb wars continue between the two, but it looks like Meredith might have won for now.
Meredith Marks says her new bath bomb stands out from “a world full of imposters”
The bath time drama between Meredith and Whitney started in Season 4. Whitney had made a joke about Meredith and her husband’s bathtub scene being dirty. To be fair, who wants to see that? Coincidentally, Season 5 started similarly with Meredith and Whitney fighting over bath bombs.
Meredith felt Whitney knew bath bombs were her thing, and she was encroaching on her territory by coming out with one of her own. Whitney said, “I am genuinely concerned that Meredith is spending too much time in the bathtub … I think everything is starting to shrivel up and prune, including her brain.”
However, Meredith was not going to sit idly by in her tub. She partnered with Lush Cosmetics to create the “Snow Place Like Salt Lake” bath bomb. Meredith wrote, “Baths are my thing! Retreat to the tub with this exclusive bath bomb and be unbothered, moisturized, in your lane.”
Then she got in a dig at Whitney. She continued, “In a world full of imposters, this bath bomb was designed by the real inventors of the bath bomb, @lushcosmetics.” There were also some more digs in the comments.
A fan wrote, ”Meredith just won Gold in the Housewives Olympics.” Another added an idea for next season’s tagline. They pitched, “The only bomb I drop is in the bath.” A shady fan wrote, “We would NEVER see this on alibaba.” This was regarding the rumors that Whitney white labeled her jewelry from Alibaba. Oop.
Now it’s Whitney’s turn to make her move. Unit then, Meredith is going to have the last laugh, soaking in her special Salt Lake City bath bomb bath.
“He’s steady, which I think is good,” Mary said. She was promoting the limited-edition RHOSLC-themed Van Leeuwen ice cream flavor, The SLC Scoop. Close friend and costar Angie Katsanevas was by her side, while some of Mary’s other RHOSLC castmates have also shown support.
“It’s a heavy topic,” she added. “But for me – because it all just came at once on me and I didn’t expect it – I’m taking it day by day … [He’s] doing good.”
Robert Jr. wants to get his own space
Mary shares Robert Jr. with her husband Robert Cosby Sr. As the apple of his mother’s eye, Robert Jr. has made multiple appearances since RHOSLC began in 2020. In Season 5, viewers will see Robert Jr. open up to his mom, in the midst of his substance abuse struggles.
Angie added, “In support of Robert Jr. and Mary, Elektra [Angie’s 13-year-old daughter] and I visited them, and he was so kind, engaging, and sweet to Elektra. He’s such a great kid.”
During the recent RHOSLC couples’ trip to Palm Springs, Mary stayed home to look after Robert Jr. Mary confided that she preferred “missing the trip” so she could be “attentive” to her son.
Mary has been at his side, while Robert Jr. figures things out. He’s still living at home with his parents and doesn’t attend college or have a job. Mary joked, “I’ve got to kick him out of the nest.”
At times, Robert Jr. told his mom he “didn’t want to live”
In 2022, Robert Jr. was arrested for DUI in Utah. According to court documents, he told police officers he took oxycontin and Xanax prior to his arrest, in addition to smoking marijuana. In September 2024, The U.S. Sun reported that Robert Jr. spent time in rehab after “testing positive for cocaine, fentanyl and marijuana.”
Robert Jr.’s problems with drugs go back to at least 2020, when he was arrested for driving under the influence. Arresting officers found “marijuana/spice” on his person, and he was driving without a valid driver’s license.
Last month, Mary told Entertainment Tonight that she’s been by her son’s side throughout his sobriety journey.
“It was an eye-opener for me,” Mary said. There were times when he told his mom he “didn’t want to live,” terrifying words for any mother to hear.
“I don’t have thoughts like that,” she said. “I came to the realization: [drugs can] alter your thoughts and your brain, and they can make you go dark.”
Season 5 may be difficult to watch for anyone who has a loved one who’s been through any kind of substance abuse. I wish nothing but the best for Mary and Robert Jr. as they go through his sobriety journey. I truly hope he finds his way.

Time flies when you’re being bad, and somehow, we’re already over halfway through Season 2 of House of Villains! One of these reality TV legends is going to walk out of the lair with $200,000, but the closer we get to the finish line, the more unpredictable the game becomes.
Last week, Kandy won the Supervillain of the Week after dominating a blood bath of a Battle Royale Challenge. Before Kandy could bask in her victory, Wes tried to disrupt the game with a fake immunity note. It was a cute attempt, but Kandy still wound up nominating three members of his cult for elimination. In House of Villains Season 2, Episode 8 “Un-Funny Business,” one of them got banished.
What happened in House of Villains Season 2, Episode 8?

Victoria, Safaree, and Larsa competed in a Redemption Challenge that went completely off the rails. Pressed with a difficult decision, Teresa stopped playing checkers and finally started playing chess. Meanwhile, Kandy soaked up all of the fun of being the Supervillain of the Week before flipping someone out of the competition. We’ve got all of the details on how Episode 8 played out.

Larsa and Victoria’s beef spilled over from the Stronghold, and Victoria said she was fed up with the nonstop fighting. She’s fought with Larissa. She’s fought with Kandy, and at this point, she’s at her breaking point with Larsa’s nonstop attacks.
“She insulted my home, my clothing, and she’s just like a tacky old lady,” Victoria expressed in a tearful confessional.
Out of all of the villains in the house, it was Tiffany who tried to be the voice of reason. She asked the other villains to lay off Victoria—at least for a little bit. Just give her some grace!
Despite New York’s pleas, the truce lasted a total of two seconds before Larsa immediately went back into dragging Victoria. This is either some sort of twisted strategy from Larsa or she just really hates this girl.
Cap That gets cringe

One of the best Redemption Challenges of Season 1 was called, “Cap That,” which had the villains on the Hit List write funny captions underneath random stills from the season. It went so well the first time that the producers tried to recreate it. Unfortunately, it went horribly wrong.
When Victoria, Larsa, and Safaree were challenged to write the funny captions, they just were terrible. The reactions from the villains on the sidelines wound up being more entertaining than the challenge itself.
The producers decided to spare us from the cringe, and they “fast-forwarded” through the challenge so we wouldn’t have to endure as much of it. They did the viewers a favor, but they also saved the villains from some brutal humiliation. Some of the captions they wrote were just flat-out strange.
For example, Larsa captioned a picture of Safaree: “I used too much coconut oil. I’m slippin’ and slidin’ through this bitch. My skin feels dry.”
Obviously, none of these villains have a future in comedy, and it ended up being neck and neck by the end of the game. It all came down to the final image, which was hilariously a picture of Teresa in an orange jumpsuit from the season’s first challenge.
Safaree wound up taking all of the points for the final round. He won the challenge and got himself removed from the Hit List, leaving Larsa and Victoria at risk. Now, let’s all forget this horrible challenge ever happened.
With Victoria and Larsa up for elimination, Teresa found herself caught in the middle. She’s roommates with Victoria, and they’ve established a friendship in the game. On the other hand, Larsa is a Real Housewife, and the Housewives stick together. What’s a Jersey girl to do?
In a confessional, Teresa acknowledged that she was finally being pushed into the nitty-gritty of the game. She said it was finally time to lean into strategy. After all, her previous strategy of cooking Italian food didn’t work.
With this realization, Teresa proclaimed that there’d be no more “Mother Teresa” and she’d be unleashing her inner villain. Then, we got a hilarious montage of Teresa dressed up as Mother Teresa running around doing good deeds for her fellow villains. This show deserves an Emmy for that alone.
In the house, Victoria tried her hardest to convince Teresa to side with her in the Banishment. Meanwhile, Larsa was doing the same thing. Somehow, Larsa expected Teresa to forget that she just put her up for banishment in the previous round.
Teresa rightfully questioned Larsa’s loyalty, and the Real Housewives of Miami star hit back with the most unconvincing statement ever told on reality TV.
“I mean, yeah. I’m as loyal as they get,” Larsa claimed.
You could see Larsa questioning herself as those words left her mouth. But, what is it enough to convince Teresa? Maybe.
Who got banished this week on House of Villains?

In a vote of 4-1, Victoria became the fourth contestant eliminated from House of Villains Season 2. She’s not winning $200,000, so she’s going to need to find another way to pay off all of her parking tickets.
In a flashback, the votes are revealed, and we see that Teresa ended up voting to eliminate Victoria. She explained that she simply couldn’t “cross the Bravo family.” Somewhere, Andy Cohen has a huge grin on his face.
Before Victoria got flipped through the wall, Tiffany interjected and revealed that she was the lone vote to save Victoria. She was trying to make her feel better, but it actually just made Victoria angry at Teresa for not keeping her word. Thus, she got into one final argument before leaving the game for good.
“Keep being stupid,” Victoria told Tre.
The bickering continued, and Kandy had to retake control of the room. As the Supervillain of the Week, she channeled her inner RuPaul and gave Victoria a send-off worthy of Drag Race.
“Victoria, you walked into this competition as a queen,” Kandy began. “Unfortunately for you, tonight, the only queen you’re serving is Queen Elizabeth. That is dead.”
She continued, “I only have one thing to say to you. Sashay away!”
Joel drops a plot twist

Just when you thought the episode was over, good old Joel jumped in with a twist. The villains hardly had any time to process Victoria’s banishment, and it turns out, he’s the one getting the last laugh this week.
He instructed the villains to line themselves up from most villainous to least villainous. That was easier said than done because no one wanted it because Tiffany and Kandy clashed over the number one spot. In a classic case of drag delusion, Kandy tried to say she was a bigger villain than New York.
Meanwhile, Wes realized that there was probably a catch. He’s competed in like five thousand episodes of The Challenge, so you really can’t fool him with something like this. He’s seen it all, and he decided to find a spot in the middle of the lineup to try to stay safe from whatever twist Joel had coming.
On the other hand, Teresa happily plopped herself down at the end as the “least villainous.” Her sister-in-law would probably disagree.
Once the villains all got settled into their placements, Joel dropped the big bombshell. There’s a surprise double banishment, and somehow, the way they lined up will play a factor in how it shakes out. To be continued.
TELL US – WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS ON HOUSE OF VILLAINS SEASON 2, EPISODE 8? WERE YOU SAD TO SEE VICTORIA GET ELIMINATED OVER LARSA? HOW DO YOU THINK THE DOUBLE BANISHMENT WILL PLAY OUT?
Welcome to the recap for Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18, Episode 20. This week, the entire season is wrapped up in a pretty orange bow, after Alexis’ arrival on the couches in last week’s installment. Was there any resolution, or will the ladies continue to go after one another now cameras are down? Here’s everything of note from RHOC Season 18, Episode 20: “Reunion Part 3.”

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 reunion Part 3 teased a shocking bombshell that took place AFTER the reunion was filmed. But back on the reunion stage, Alexis and Shannon got no closer to fixing their broken relationship. It’s clear they will never be friends. Meanwhile, Tamra and Shannon shared a hug, and the other ladies all tried to hash out their differences.
Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18, Episode 20 opens unlike any reunion in recent memory

Part 3 of the RHOC Season 18 reunion opened with the ladies discussing some information that came to light at the reunion. Have we ever seen a reunion episode open this way before, with filming of the ladies AFTER the season was supposed to have put cameras down? It’s a lot – and I was immediately left on the edge of my seat wondering what we were going to find out.
36 hours earlier, we’re back with Shannon and Alexis at one another’s throats. Shannon gloats that she took Alexis’ full-time job on the show, and has held it for a decade. “You know what Shannon? You’re so bitter,” Alexis swipes. “I don’t want to talk about you anymore. Get married. Congratulations, you guys are perfect for each other,” Shannon responds.
Alexis thinks Shannon is obsessed with John Janssen, despite their split. But Andy points out that Shannon can’t help but discuss John when she’s being sued by him – a lawsuit that has now been settled.
Alexis is mad, because when she first met John, she found bad press about him. Shannon reminds Alexis that the reason for her conflict in Season 17 was because she was defending John “to the death.” Then Emily tries to get involved in the chat, and Alexis tells her to “butt out.” Emily and Alexis cannot stand one another, and I’m not entirely sure why.
Shannon continues to say she paid for the entire relationship with John at the start. Meanwhile, Alexis claims he put over $350,000 into the love affair before the alleged $75,000 loan. There are a lot of numbers, and frankly, I’m tired. Alexis took too much sh*t for this, and it stinks.
How long was John single for before Alexis?

John claimed to be single “for a year” before getting with Alexis. Then, a text shows John was texting Shannon claiming he loved her just months before their relationship started. Alexis’ response is that being “friends with benefits” does not a relationship make. And then, both Gina and Emily try to join Shannon in bashing Alexis. “The bullies, Tweedledee and Tweedledum,” Alexis calls Gina and Emily, before activated Emily jumps down her throat.
“Don’t you ever f*cking call me dumb … you are an idiot! Don’t f*cking call me dumb, you are the dumbest f*cking girl I’ve ever met!” Emily shouts across the sofa, before Alexis asks if she wants to hit her. The aggression does seem high, but that feels like a lot.
“We were together every single day from [April 2023] until 10 days after my DUI,” Shannon clarifies. “Did he ever ask you to be his girlfriend again?” Alexis asks, before Shannon reveals they were still being “intimate” at the time.
It’s not exactly a shady timeline, but it’s one I’m no longer interested in. John is now with Alexis. Let’s move on. I want Alexis back for Season 19, but we need new storylines. This one has ran its course, and even Andy is tired. “She has [moved on],” he says of Shannon. “Trust me, she has.”
As for the lawsuit and rejected initial settlement offer? John wanted to see the season first, so could react to any “lies” Shannon said about him. Now that the show’s over, the pair have settled. So, his reasoning seems to make sense.
Were the Ring doorbell videos being used for “extortion?”

“It is my intent for nobody to ever see them,” John said of the videos in a pre-recorded confessional. “It was an extremely traumatic night for me and my two adult children, and it’s unfortunate that Shannon has not taken accountability for the people that she harmed that night. And, I would say that, if Shannon would like to, I would – the one person I would show the video footage to – would be Shannon Beador if she wants to see what she actually was like that night, and what kind of behavior she exhibited. She has characterized me as a monster on the show. If she wants to see what a monster looks like, she can view those videos.”
Back on the reunion stage, Tamra asks Shannon if she can recall what the videos may contain. But Shannon is getting emotional, and simply shakes her head. “We were in a fight, he said, ‘you’re a drunken idiot,’ and I got in my car.” The ladies then wonder why the videos came up at all, as they felt very much like a “threat.”
Alexis admits regretting bringing the videos up, and claims she didn’t know they were being filmed when she initially mentioned them. “I had a breaking point,” Alexis says of their Big Bear trip. “I was very upset. Every time I filmed, it was about John or Shannon. Here’s the thing, Andy. This was not any easier for me to film with the ex, than it is for her.” But she’s not gonna apologize “for defending my man.”
“Time for the ‘friend’ to exit the room,” Shannon says, as Andy wraps up the segment. What’s Alexis’ goal now she can’t be “amicable” with Shannon? She still holds some hope. But don’t hold your breath.

After hearing Jenn saying she doesn’t “subscribe to mean girl behavior,” Emily is confused by her friendship with Alexis. Tamra also catches a stray, as Emily says she’d rather take her than Alexis.
“Say ‘shut the f*ck up, I don’t wanna be friends with you,'” Emily asks Jenn of her Alexis bond. Jenn says she’s asked Alexis to let the mouse go, but Emily thinks Alexis is trying to “humiliate this woman on a global scale.” I think that’s a little dramatic, and Emily just has huge hate for Alexis. I’ll say again, it doesn’t make all that much sense to me. In fact, if anyone is coming across as a “mean girl” in this situation, it might actually be Emily.
Andy then gets to Tamra’s repeated defense of Shannon during the reunion. Shannon appreciates it, and can see just in Tamra’s eyes how she “acknowledged” Shannon’s hurt. The pair then hug, “because it’s easier to,” and Tamra admits she has “really missed” Shannon. There is a path forward for this pair, but it’s going to be one long and bump road.
As they’re making up, however, Jenn isn’t convinced. “This is such bullsh*t,” she whispers. Fortunately, Tamra doesn’t hear it. That wouldn’t have gone well.
“It feels real, and it feels like there’s a bed of love there,” Andy concludes, before final thoughts. “I’m actually pretty gratified by the place we’re ending things on.” Let’s keep the exact cast for Season 19. The connections are real, which makes for great TV.
Time for the juice! What’s the big RHOC Season 18 reunion bombshell?

36 hours later…
“Seven months she’s known that piece of information,” says Emily, “and she drops it after we film the reunion and they turn all the cameras off.”
“I’m happy that it’s coming out,” Gina responds, before Heather arrives. “It’s the never-ending season,” Heather says. “Yeah, thanks to you!” Heather has some new information; and she forgot to drop it at reunion!
After the finale party, Heather and Terry went to dinner with Tamra and Eddie, as well as Alexis and John. “I don’t remember why it came up. You were not the topic of conversation all night,” Heather assures Shannon. “Something comes up about the night of the accident, and John said, ‘Oh I heard the crash.'”
So, there we have it. If Heather is to be believed, John heard Shannon’s crash. But there’s more.
Did Shannon punch John on the night of her DUI?

Tamra then arrives and adds more juice. “He said that when you took off and he heard the crash, he went to go run for you, but his daughters stopped him and said, ‘no dad, this isn’t good, you guys are fighting, I’m gonna go look.’ And she went around the corner and said you were pulling off. Our mouths dropped.”
“He said that there was an altercation between you and him,” Tamra shares, before whispering to Shannon that John claims she hit him. “I don’t remember everything,” Shannon says. She doesn’t know what she did that night. But let’s be clear. Physical violence is never excusable.
“If you did something bad on the videos, you’re gonna take responsibility for what you did, just like you took responsibility for what you did that night. It doesn’t make you a terrible person,” Gina assures her new bestie.
Shannon’s “lowest moment of my life” was her DUI. And now, discussing it with her friends, Shannon finally feels “so much love” around her. Cut to the group hug, and another season in the can. Will Shannon be back? She hopes so…
