Alexis Bellino is not a fan of her behaviors this season on Real Housewives of Orange County. Her return to filming has been all kinds of dramatic. But after she received a text from one of her rivals, letting her know she could not attend a cast trip, things took another turn for the worse. After reading this text aloud to Katie Ginella and Jennifer Pedranti, an annoyed Alexis kicked her visitors out. But hindsight has since come a-knocking, and now, Alexis admits that she “acted 16 instead of 47.”

Alexis Bellino was not thinking clearly when she kicked Katie Ginella and Jenn Pedranti out
During a recent interview with Bravo, the producers showed Alexis reading Shannon Beador’s you can’t sit here text aloud to Katie and Jen.
“Hello Alexis. It’s Shannon Beador. I am hosting a trip to Europe with my friends and just wanted to make it clear that you are not invited. That should be quite understandable, given the circumstances. Thank you for the flowers, but I am not interested in an olive branch,” Shannon stressed.
Alexis then walks to her front door. “She opened the door, and she goes, ‘It’s time to go.’ And I looked at Jenn and said, ‘I think that’s for us.’ I’ve never been kicked out of anywhere before,” Katie quipped.
As for Alexis, she knows that this moment came across poorly. “It was one of those moments where I acted 16 instead of 47,” she said. Even still, this text remains a thorn in her side.
Alexis feels like “Shannon has been trying to” get her kicked “out of the group.” Therefore, Alexis’s reactions towards Katie and Jenn were very “knee-jerk” in nature.
“This was not such a good moment for Alexis,” she ended, using her third-person voice like a pro. Hindsight and reflective statements like this are a good thing. Some of her fellow costars should take note.
Even still, Alexis remains uninvited. Perhaps further reflections from multiple parties might help. But also, likely not. This divide is too big.
It will take more than a few nice chats for peace to reign supreme on RHOC. But stranger things have happened, so we’re saying there’s a chance.
Real Housewives of Orange County airs every Thursday at 9/8c on Bravo.
