Braunwyn Windham-Burke made peace with much of her past, but the recovering alcoholic still collapsed when Shannon Beador claimed she offered to get drugs for her teenage daughter.
The conversation started during the first part of the “RHOC” meeting when Beador, 56, said: “I [didn’t] I know if I was going to say that today, but as a mother, I will. When my daughter Stella was 14 at her first barbecue on the beach, you went up to her and said, ‘Stella, if you want the good stuff, text me.’ ”He continued into the second part of the meeting on Wednesday, with Windham-Burke shedding tears at the accusation.
“I’m sorry. I understand,” said Windham-Burke, 43, through tears, as the conversation progressed. “I’m sorry for doing that.”
“I would never do that sober,” she added.
Beador apparently forgave her during the conversation, saying, “Okay. Thank you.”
Emily Simpson agreed that she could say that Windham-Burke felt genuine remorse: The latter shouted, “I’m being disgusting” at one point.
“I don’t think Brauwyn has many things that she owns, and she owns it,” Simpson offered, as Elizabeth Lyn Vargas agreed.
“I was not pretty and did a lot of things that I was ashamed of,” explained Windham-Burke.
Beador said he understood, to which Kelly Dodd intervened: “Do you understand? If someone said that to my daughter, I would be crazy. “
Beador admitted that she was upset about the incident, but spoke to her daughter about it and explained where Windham-Burke was at the time.
“I can believe I did it,” Windham-Burke said as he wiped the tears from his eyes. “I did terrible things, but I – wow – I’m sorry.”
Presenter Andy Cohen ended the segment, but Windham-Burke was so upset by the conversation that she burst into tears later in the episode, when the episode was interrupted for the first commercial break, while Beador was trying to comfort her by saying, “Yeah. [was] a long time ago, Braunwyn. “
“I think, of all the things I did, this could be the worst,” said Windham-Burke, before leaving the stage. Simpson left to console her before the meeting resumed.
It is unclear whether Windham-Burke and Beador have repaired their relationship since recording the reunion.
