Season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County has been going on for several weeks. Naturally, there has been a ton of drama between Shannon Beador and Alexis Bellino, as the latter is now engaged to the former’s ex-boyfriend, John Janssen. Now, in a preview for the next episode, Alexis says Shannon doesn’t deserve sympathy as most of the ladies seem to feel bad for her.
It was recently revealed that ring camera footage of Shannon allegedly almost running over John’s daughter is said to exist. Alexis teased the footage on the show, and Shannon recently got wind of its existence. Given the strides Shannon has made to take accountability and move forward, the ladies feel bad that Alexis and John want to use this to embarrass Shannon and her kids.
In a recent preview from Bravo for episode 10 of RHOC, fans can see Emily Simpson talking to Alexis after Shannon has learned of the damaging footage. In the video, Emily says, “I wanted to talk to you woman to woman. It just seems like it’s getting dirty and it’s getting salacious and it’s getting mean.”
Alexis responds, “There’s nothing mean on our side, or the videos would be out already, wouldn’t they? So back off.”
Emily rebutted, “But you’ve told people about them.”
Alexis then raises her tone a few notches and says, “I don’t know what you want me to do. I can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube. ”
Emily then tells Alexis she needs to have compassion for Shannon. However, it then cuts to Alexis in a confessional. She admits she feels bad about the situation with Shannon. Still, she questions Emily’s timing for bringing up the videos and Shannon’s response.
She says, “Do I feel bad for a woman who is distraught? Yes, but also, why would you bring it up in the middle of a freaking charity event weekend?”
The preview continues with Alexis, who is getting more agitated, saying how this situation has also caused her grief.
She says, “I’ve been f-ed over bad in this, too. So, I’m really sick of everyone taking pity on her when she ran into a f**king house and is still drinking and has been horrible to him [John]. And I’m still trying, so I’m not sure what else I can do for you guys.”
Emily then says what most fans are thinking, “I think she’s just on the John Janssen defense train and she can’t get off of it.”
In the end, Alexis skipped the planned cast dinner that followed her conversation with Emily.
Fans can watch new episodes of RHOC on Thursday nights.
