Alexis
Bellino
is
once
again
saying
goodbye
to


The
Real
Housewives
of
Orange
County.

After
returning
as
a
friend
for
the
Bravo
series’
recent
18th
season,
the
reality
star
revealed
she
will
not
be
returning
for
season
19.

“I
was
not
asked
back
next
season,”
Alexis
shared
on
the
Dec.
19
episode
of
the


Going
Rogue
podcast. “I
can’t
say
it
came
as
a
shock,
it
did
not
come
as
a
shock.”

“It
was
a
hard
conversation,”
the
47-year-old
added. “I
guess
I
wasn’t
really
prepared.
I
didn’t
think
contracts
were
coming
out,
like,
I
thought
we
had
more
time.
It
was
a
shock
when
the
call
came,
but
I
was
never
shocked
about
that
information.”

Plus,
having
left

RHOC
once
before
back
in
2013
after
five
seasons
on
the
show
helped
prepare
her
for
being
let
go
this
time.

“It
was
a
little
bit
of
a
relief,”
the
mother
of
three
noted. “I
mean
nobody
wants
the
rejection,
and
no
one
wants
to
[hear]
you’re
not
asked
back.
But
it
already
happened
to
me.
It
happened
to
me
in
season
eight.
I’ve
been
there,
done
that.”
