Shannon answered one of the Family Feud questions so wildly that she shocked the audience and her competitor, RHOATL star Drew Sidora.

Game show host Steve Harvey, 66, told the 59-year-old TV personality to: "Name a part of your man that eliminates him from being the sexiest man alive."

Shannon quickly hit the buzzer just seconds before Drew, 38, did, prepared to respond to the daring inquiry very cheekily.

The Califonia-based Bravo personality leaned in close to her podium microphone and guessed "penis."

Drew appeared to be caught off guard, yelling, "what" in an upspeak tone.

Shannon's fellow castmate and teammate, Heather Dubrow, 54, had a stunned expression on her face.

"Is that bad?," Shannon asked after she witnessed how everyone reacted to her answer.

Steve took a moment to have empathy for the assumed man that Shannon pictured when answering.

"This poor man...on national TV," Steve remarked with a chuckle that is typically used when facing secondhand embarrassment.

Correcting Steve, Shannon snapped that "there was no man right now, so they were good."

Shannon's racy reply, though entertaining, turned out to be something not on the board.

DRUNKEN FIGHTS

Shannon's slight dig might have been directed at John because of the hostility between Shannon and John's daughter.

She had been asked to leave a bar after an argument broke out between them.

The incident occurred last month at a Tiki Bar in Costa Mesa, California.

Shannon was joined by her ex boyfriend, John, and his family, as reported by PageSix.

Later on in the night, Shannon got angry and started "screaming" at John's daughter.

A witness told an Instagram account @igfamousbydana that she looked to be "wasted" and "had to be held back and removed by security."

However, it was later revealed that the security guards were helping Shannon find her Uber to get home safely.

The witness also claimed that John and his family "remained calm" during the argument.

The news outlet revealed that in many photos, men wearing security uniforms take out an "upset and disheveled" Shannon off the property.

A source close to Shannon confirmed that there was an "argument" among several people and "everyone was screaming at each other."

John spoke to the outlet: "Yes, there was an argument, but it was at the end of the night, the lights were up, and everyone was being asked to leave."

THEIR RELATIONSHIP

Shannon and John met through mutual friends after her messy divorce from ex-husband David Beador in 2019.

In July of that year, they were then public with their relationship.

Over the years, Shannon gushed about her new man, which is why many fans were shocked when they split in 2023.

At the time, John told People that he broke up with Shannon because he didn't see a future with her but stressed that it was a "super hard" decision to make.

"I've been in pain over it," he told the outlet. "It's sad because I love Shannon very much. I have loved her more deeply than any woman in my life. She's one of a kind; so funny and generous and full of life and adventurous. We have a connection that's unlike anything I've ever had. And I know that for as long as I live, I'll never meet anyone like her again.

"But that doesn't mean we're right for each other for the rest of our lives."

He continued: "It doesn't make sense to be together if you don't believe in it.

"The last thing I wanted to do is hurt Shannon, but I do think I did the right thing for the both of us.

"We're two people who love each other very much, but love is not always enough. And while I know Shannon sees it as I've said things to her I never meant, I hope she'll be able to see that there's no bad person here. It's two really good people who couldn't make it work."
