JOHN VS SHANNON
Shannon and John broke up in 2022 and things got ugly between the duo fast.
John filed a lawsuit against Shannon, claiming fraud and breach of contract.
He said in the filing that he gave his ex two loans, totalling $75,000.
She reportedly used $40,000 of the money he gave her for a facelife.
John's lawsuit asked for the $75,000 back in addition to punitive damages and attorney fees.
Shannon was adamant that the money was a gift.

After John's filing, the reality star filed a lawsuit of her own to have his filing dismissed – particularly the fraud part – and request that John pay her legal fees, per In Touch.
A judge declined that request, however.
