That was a dramatic finale episode of the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion. Season 18 was top-notch from beginning to end. And despite starting at rock bottom, some feel Shannon Beador ended the season on top.
Alexis Bellino did not fare the same during her RHOC return this season. She came back in a love bubble with John Janssen. Now, Alexis isn’t happy with the RHOC producers for the way she was portrayed, and she’s letting everyone know it.
Alexis Bellino blames the edit
Alexis took to Instagram to post a selfie of her RHOC reunion glam and grievances about how the reunion ended. “I’m letting everyone know that I’m broken by this season,” Alexis wrote. “I have been beaten down so badly, so wrongly, and so many truths left out. So much left on the cutting room floor that would’ve never brought so much hate to me and my family.”
She also claimed the lawsuit was only settled because of the “receipts” they planned on bringing to court. “Ya, she only paid $60k of the $75, but thank you for that $60k. John gave you a discount,” Alexis wrote. We can only imagine how Emily Simpson reacted to reading Alexis’s lengthy rant after their showdown at the reunion.
Alexis isn’t up for listening
Alexis stated that she lives in love, not hate, despite what viewers may think. “I never thought I’d be brought back this season to be the villain. If I had known that I never would’ve signed,” she wrote. “I truly lay awake every night wondering why it was portrayed this way. Unfortunately, this season made a hit show at my and John’s expense.”
Finally, Alexis might use her platform to expose the “receipts” to prove her and John’s side of the story. She turned off comments on the post so that no one could respond. I can only imagine how the core RHOC crew reacted to seeing this post in real time.
Real Housewives of Orange County is streaming on Peacock.
