Arrest and charges
The legal effects of his actions were immediate. Shannon Beador was arrested and booked on two misdemeanor charges: hit-and-run and DUI alcohol.

In an interview with People magazine, Beador revealed that she was taken aback by Janssen’s decision to end their relationship in November 2022, just weeks after they finished filming season 17 of ‘RHOC.’ She shared, “He told me his relationship was over. And then to hear what he said to me was absolutely devastating.”
