The focal point of much of the drama on Season 18 of Real Housewives of Orange County seems to be Shannon Beador. She is on the outs with Tamra Judge after her DUI arrest. Plus, she is dealing with her ex-boyfriend, John Janssen, dating Alexis Bellino. This season Alexis is back as a friend of the housewives, and she is happy to flaunt her new relationship with Johhny J.
Shannon Beador doesn’t want to be friends with Alexis Bellino
Shannon made it plain heading into this season that she had no plans to befriend Alexis. Part of the reason is the defamation lawsuit that Jim Bellino, Alexis’ ex-husband, filed against her and Tamra. Still, Shannon claims that she doesn’t care about Alexis dating John.
She even shared her thoughts on the new couple becoming engaged. It hasn’t happened yet, but Alexis is sporting a promise ring. “Good for them, be happy,” Shannon stated. “From the outside looking in, it looks to me that there are ulterior motives on both sides for them to be in a relationship, so we’ll see.”
During a recent episode of RHOC, Shannon wasn’t happy when she learned that John and Alexis were working out at the same gym as Shannon. Oh, the horror! Shannon ran down the situation to Emily Simpson. Shannon spoke with Alex, the gym’s owner, recounting how Alexis and John do the deed “four times a day.” Seriously?
Well, Alex then spoke with Alexis. Awkward! “[The owner] said, ‘We don’t want any drama here.’ And then Alexis said, ‘I’m a good Christian girl,’” Shannon explained. “And he said something like, ‘Oh, a good Christian girl talks about her sex life?’”
Of course, Johhny J. had a meltdown. “And then John is like, ‘F you, F you, we’re never coming back here,’” Shannon said. And he blamed Shannon. Also, why is Shannon talking about Johnny J and Alexis with the gym owner?
Shannon Beador believes that Alexis Bellino is becoming a Shannon wanna-be

This led to Shannon questioning if Alexis wanted to be her. “Is Alexis trying to live the life that I had? She’s dating my ex-boyfriend, she’s getting love bombed like I did, they’re going to the same restaurants,” Shannon stated, “they’re riding on the boat, they go to the same gym, he took her to the same hotel for her birthday that he took me for mine.” Maybe John just lacks creativity because I doubt many people wake up and say, “I want to be Shannon Storms Beador today.”
Shannon added, “Alexis, good luck trying to be me.” Of course, Alexis sounded off. “The truth is coming out whether she wants to do it or not. John is not gonna hold his mouth forever,” Alexis said. “He’s over it.”
