Seymour appeared at Connecticut Superior Court on Monday to face charges of driving under the influence, unsafe backing and leaving the scene of an accident.
After offering a sincere apology for her actions, Judge Auden Grogins told her he would drop the charges but that he was ordering her to complete a state alcohol program and attend AA meetings twice a week.
Speaking in front of the judge, Seymour said: "I am incredibly ashamed that I did something that could have come out much worse."
Judge Grogins told her: "This could have turned out a lot worse. Someone could have been seriously hurt or killed, including yourself."
Prosecutor Steve Weiss said the mother-of-four was "severely intoxicated" and "didn't perform well on any of the roadside sobriety tests" when police stopped her.
A date has not yet been set as to when Seymour must begin her state alcohol program and AA meetings.
