Shannon Beador relayed an emotional apology to her daughters following her September 2023 DUI arrest.
In a sneak peek of the Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 premiere, the 60-year-old star sat her girls down for a heart-to-heart, in which she tearfully apologized for her behavior.
'I'm so sorry and humiliated that I disappointed you. Like, what kind of example am I at 59 years old?' Beador said to the girls — Sophie, 22, and twins Stella and Adeline, 19.
She also expressed regret over not being able to visit Stella in Paris, where she was studying abroad, as she was not able to leave the country following her legal woes.
Shannon pled no contest to her DUI charge, and the hit-and-run charge was later dismissed.

The reality television personality was sentenced to 40 hours of community service, and ordered to complete a nine-month alcohol program after the incident, in which she crashed into a home in Orange County.
Shannon explained that a fight with ex John Janssen led to her getting behind the wheel last fall after she had been out drinking.
In the seven-minute teaser shared by Bravo, she revealed Janssen had warned her not to drive, calling her a 'drunken idiot.'
'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,' she admitted to her three girls, who she shares with ex-husband David Beador.
In March, David was charged with two misdemeanors related to a traffic stop; he was pulled over by Newport Beach Police for allegedly driving over 100mph on February 4.
'It's been a tough six weeks, but I will tell you that I made a terrible, terrible mistake and I'm incredibly grateful that it didn't hurt anyone,' Beador told the audience at the time.
She also said she completed '28 days of behavioral wellness' counseling with an alcohol specialist.

Shannon begged Judge to 'stop' attacking her.
'I need to stop what? Uncovering your bulls**t?' Judge fired back.
