A Life Under Scrutiny
For David Beador, this latest legal drama follows years of being in the reality TV spotlight during his previous marriage to RHOC star Shannon Beador. While he once sought a quieter life away from the cameras, his latest “mansion war” with Lesley has ensured that his personal affairs remain the hottest topic in the Bravo universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
