Fans watching Shannon on screen took to social media to offer their support. One user on X wrote:
“Shannon – ‘I don’t have my kids home, but I…. We’re just alone. I have Archie.’ Shannon broke my heart here, and I just wanted to give her a hug.”
“Shannon, you’ll never be alone. The fans are rallying behind you,”a fan encouraged.

The cast member received praise from The Real Housewives of Orange County fans for her vulnerability:
“She is the most vulnerable and realest housewife. She puts it all out for everyone to see. This reminds me of when she had her body evaluated. I also think Jenn is one who shares openly,”wrote one supporter.
“She cannot heal properly until she takes care of her mental health. Bravo is not helping her; they are beating her down like they do to many people on this show. These people are not her friends,”a fan commented.
“She doesn’t need anyone else but Archie. It’s good for her to learn to be alone and to be okay with that. She raised her daughters, and now they have flown, but they will undoubtedly return. Meanwhile, she should enjoy the time healing and learning that she is a whole person on her own,”a tweet expressed.
Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County also commented on Shannon’s dog, Archie:
“We need to protect Archie at all costs. Shannon needs him. And he’s a good boy,”a fan remarked.
“A Shannon and Archie scene! Everybody moved,”commented another viewer.
