Alexis
Bellino
is
already
making
waves
in
the
O.C.

During


The
Real
Housewives
of
Orange
County‘s
season
18
premiere,
Alexis
and


Shannon
Beador
came
face
to
face
for
the
first
time
since
Alexis

starting
dating
Shannon’s
ex-boyfriend

John
Janssen—and
the
conversation
did

not
go
well.

Making
matters
worse
was
the
fact
that
Alexis’
ex-husband

Jim
Bellino
sued
Shannon
and
costar

Tamra
Judge
for
defamation
in
2018.
(Shannon
won
the
case
against
her
in
2020.)

“I’ve
been
upset
that
you
were
involved
in
the
lawsuit
where
your
husband
sued
me
and,
as
a
single
mom,”
Shannon
told
her
during
the
July
11
episode, “I
don’t
want
to
tear
up,
but
for
three
years,
I
went
through
such
emotionally
and
financial
difficulties.
I
lost
$300,000
defending
myself
for
something
that
I
didn’t
even
do.
And
you
started
the
lawsuit
by
sending
me
a
cease
and
desist
letter.
You’re
part
of
it,
Alexis.”

The
60-year-old
added, “I
can
be
in
a
room
with
you,
but
I’m
not
interested
in
being
best
buddies.
And
I
hope
you
can
understand
that.”
