'Shannon's always said she paid for every single thing,' Heather said in a confessional. Shannon explained that she thought John gave her the money in an attempt to reimburse her. Shannon said she once paid $10,000 for hotel rooms in Los Angeles for John's daughter's birthday celebration.

'I don't want to!' Shannon said. 'I'm telling you, out of principle, I don't want to give him a dollar. It's just such a fricken slap in the face to me.
