Alexis Bellino has shaken up Season 18 of Real Housewives of Orange County. Of course, Shannon Beador wasn’t thrilled that Alexis returned in a friend role. Shannon was upset because she believed Alexis was allegedly involved in the lawsuit that Jim Bellino, Alexis’ ex-husband, filed against her. Plus, Alexis is now running around town with Shannon’s ex-boyfriend, John Janssen. But are other RHOC cast members also dogging Alexis?

Who has been secretly bashing Alexis Bellino?
Alexis and John were recently guests on the Reality with The King podcast. The host, Carlos King, is a former Bravo producer. And Alexis shared that she thinks that Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson have been talking behind the scenes.
“I think that the jury is still out on both because I feel like they are one way to my face,” Alexis explained, “but from what I hear, they’re not.” Alexis also plans to watch the season back to see what Emily and Gina have been up to.
She added, “Especially in confessional [interviews], they are really brutal to John. So, for that, I kind of want to give them the bird.” While Heather Dubrow definitely has Alexis’ back, the RHOC vet doesn’t think that Emily and Gina like her. “I don’t think they really like me deep down,” Alexis stated. “From what I’ve heard through the grapevine, I think they both pretty much don’t like me. Whatever.”
Then Carlos asked if Emily and Gina “are talking behind [her] back but smiling in [her] face.” Johnny J’s new lady responded, “Yeah.” She continued, “I can’t give away too much because you have to tune in to see it. But from what I have heard — very reliable sources are telling me that,” she added.
However, Alexis also noted that she recently saw Gina and that Gina was nice to her. “We got along just fine,” Alexis stated. “And I think she’s funny as heck.”
Meanwhile, John explained that Emily doesn’t like him. At all. “They’re just believing drunk Shannon comments. They don’t know me. I’ve never even had a conversation with Emily Simpson, for example, and she definitely doesn’t like me,” John explained. “But she doesn’t know me.”
Somehow, I don’t think that Emily and Gina are going to invite John over for some hot gossip.
Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
