Fri Nov 22 02:40:00 UTC 2024: ## RHOC’s Shannon Beador and John Janssen Settle Facelift Lawsuit

**Orange County, CA –** The long-running legal battle between *Real Housewives of Orange County* star Shannon Beador and her former boyfriend John Janssen has finally concluded. Court documents filed November 15th reveal the pair reached a settlement in Janssen’s lawsuit, which claimed Beador owed him $75,000 for a facelift. While the specific terms of the settlement remain undisclosed, Janssen agreed to an unconditional dismissal of the case, which must be finalized within 45 days.

The lawsuit, a major storyline in Season 18 of *RHOC*, stemmed from Janssen’s contention that the money was a loan, while Beador maintained it was a gift. The dispute intensified when Janssen refused a non-disparagement agreement, delaying a resolution and leading to a scheduled jury trial. The sudden settlement comes as a surprise, especially given Janssen and his fiancée, Alexis Bellino’s, repeated assertions on the show that they possessed irrefutable proof of Beador’s debt.

Beador can now move on from the contentious legal battle and the public scrutiny it brought. The settlement marks the end of a seven-month saga that played out extensively on *RHOC*, which streams on Peacock.
