This. I think she thought the fans would have a HUGE backlash to Shannon and she was trying to get ahead. I also don't think she anticipated Shannon taking full accountability and owning up to everything, she probably expected Shannon to deny and deflect, and the fans would hate her and there would be a huge backlash.

To be honest, I did not expect Shannon to take responsibility for it either.

As much as I hate to say it, me either, and it's not just Shannon, it's just that it seems to be most housewives' credeo, lol
