Alexis Issues Shocking Ultimatum to Shannon: Threatens to Release Damning Videos from Night of DUI Incident that Could Shatter Her World-quang

“It’s 10 times worse than you can actually imagine,” Alexis Bellino claimed on the Aug. 15 episode of 'Real Housewives of Orange County'

Alexis Bellino is revealing a secret she has been keeping about Shannon Storms Beador.

On the Aug. 15 episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, the ladies split up, with Alexis, Jenn Pedranti, Katie Ginella and Tamra Judge going on a getaway to Big Bear. Meanwhile, Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter, Heather Dubrow and Shannon escaped to Palm Springs.

It wasn't long before Alexis brought up John Janssen, her boyfriend who previously dated Shannon.

“I get really worked up about John,” Alexis explained. “Because the man is nothing but kind, generous, loving, caring. Unfortunately, Shannon has ruined John’s reputation throughout the community.”

When Jenn questioned why Alexis was “on such a hellpath” with Shannon, Alexis told her not to “bring up the ‘S’ word.” 

“If she wasn’t still going around making lies about him, I wouldn’t be on a hellpath,” she insisted.

Earlier in the episode, Alexis was on the phone with John when Tamra chimed in to tell him she has never had any ill will toward him. This was a relief for Alexis, who claimed everyone had a false perception of who John is.

“He has not a bad bone in his body,” she said. “I’m so over him being abused. I'm so over him being lied about. If the girls actually gave John a chance, they would see the man that I see.”

Talking with the other women, Jenn asked Alexis if she felt like it was worth it to keep up the fight with Shannon. "Do you think you’ll stop her?” Jenn asked.

“Do I need to pull out the videos? Johnny’s ready to talk. So yeah, I will stop her,” Alexis replied ominously.

“Videos of what?” Jenn questioned, to which Tamra interjected: “He has videos of [Shannon] the night of her DUI.”

“It will ruin her life,” Alexis added of the footage of the incident, which unfolded in September 2023.

She then told cameras that “the videos are definitely horrific” and played a role in how she saw Shannon when she joined the friend group.

“She has now pushed us to the point where she doesn't stop lying…” Alexis began, as Tamra added, “He’ll expose it."

The idea of exposing personal footage of Shannon made Jenn uneasy, leading her to advise against it.

“Alexis, why are we even going here?” Jenn said in her confessional. “What do these videos matter? Why does anybody need to see them? Does anybody take into account what this will do to Shannon, her family? In my opinion, it’s wrong.”

Still, Alexis held her ground and continued to elaborate on how bad the videos allegedly are.

“It’s 10 times worse than you can actually imagine,” she claimed. “I definitely have said quite a few prayers for her.”

Shannon was arrested in the early hours of Sept. 17, 2023, in Newport Beach after crashing her car into a planter box attached to a house. Police recorded a .24 blood alcohol level (three times the legal limit).

She was booked on two misdemeanors and spent a few hours in jail before being released on a citation. The reality star would later be sentenced to three years of probation, which came with a required order to complete 40 hours of community service and a nine-month alcohol program.

"It was surreal and it is something that I will never let happen again. I'm never going to make poor decisions like that again. I'm not going to," she recently told PEOPLE. "...For me at my age to be setting such a poor example was just devastating. I made a horrible, horrible decision. I think about it every day, and I'm so grateful that I didn't hurt anyone."

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
