Shannon tearfully added, “I’m so sorry and humiliated that I disappointed you. Like, what kind of example am I at 59 years old?” Despite her remorse, Stella and Sophie reassured her that they were grateful she wasn't hurt and admired her accountability and growth from the experience.
Reflecting on the incident, Shannon admitted that the DUI happened suddenly in a moment of anger following an argument with her ex-boyfriend. She revealed, “I’ve never broken a bone, I’ve never had a concussion, I’ve never been in an accident, I’ve never been arrested, I’ve never had a DUI, and I did all that in 10 seconds.”
She acknowledged her mistakes and the consequences she faced: three years probation, community service, and an alcohol program.
She recalled, “But I got in an accident a second later because I revved up the engine so he could know how mad I was, and I lost control of the car immediately.”
