    Shannon Beador was “shocked” by a bloody selfie she discovered on her phone after she was arrested for DUI last September.

    “That was really traumatic for me,” the “Real Housewives of Orange County” star told People in an interview published Friday. “As you can see, I was injured pretty badly and when I looked at it, it almost felt like I was looking at someone who wasn’t me.”

    Beador, who didn’t recall snapping the shocking image that showed blood covering half of her face and running down her neck, then realized just how bad the crash had been.

    “I didn’t want to see myself that way, and I didn’t want anyone else to see me that way either,” she said, adding that she didn’t think she’d ever “show it to anyone.”

    The Bravolebrity, 60, ultimately decided to share it with her co-star Heather Dubrow while filming their reality show knowing it would circulate online.

    “It was a big step for me to take that,” she explained. “When someone Googles my name probably for the rest of my life, that’s what they’ll see: my face, covered in blood, from the night that easily marked the lowest point of my entire life.

    Beador was officially charged with DUI and hit-and-run — both misdemeanors — after after she allegedly clipped a Newport Beach, Calif., house and fled.

    Video of the incident showed Beador driving at a high speed before making a sharp turn into the edifice and then backing up and driving away.

    The Real for Real CEO was subsequently sentenced to three years’ probation , 40 hours of community service and a nine-month alcohol program.

    “I am grateful that no one else was injured besides me in this incident, Beador told Page Six via her attorney at the time.

    “I have learned so much from my terrible mistake that night and realize that driving any distance while impaired is too far.”
