Shannon Beador Explosively Calls Alexis Bellino a 'Jerk' in Tense Showdown at the RHOC Reunion!

   

Shannon Beador and Alexis Bellino’s feud reaches new heights in the “Real Housewives of Orange County” Season 18 reunion trailer.

Not surprisingly, their conflict is centered on John Janssen — Beador’s ex and Bellino’s fiancé — as seen in the clip released Thursday by Bravo.

“I’m not going to apologize for defending my man. He was still going to sue you,” Bellino tells Beador, whose contentious legal battle over money used for plastic surgery played out on the show.

“And I ended up winning, a—hole,” Beador retorts. 

According to court papers obtained by People in March, Janssen filed a lawsuit in the Orange County Superior Court claiming the Bravolebrity breached their oral contract and is committing promissory fraud by purposely not paying him back.

He reportedly lent her $40,000 via wire transfer on Jan. 23, 2022, for a facelift and another $35,000 via personal check on May 20, 2023.

Beador, for her part, has maintained that the money was a gift.

After calling it quits with Beador, 60, in 2023, Janssen, 61, began dating her franchise foe Bellino, 47, that fall. The couple announced their engagement in August. 

Beador isn’t the only “RHOC” lady Bellino clashes with in the reunion preview. The “friend of” the cast also gets into it with Emily Simpson, whom she once considered a close pal. 

Notably, Bellino calls Simpson, 48, “Tweedledum,” likening her to the “Alice in Wonderland” character acutely bereft of intellect.

In the reunion sneak peek, Emily Simpson calls Bellino the “dumbest girl” and says she is the equivalent of Janssen’s “trash can.” Bravo

“Don’t f—king call me dumb. You are the dumbest girl I’ve ever f—king met!” Simpson shouts back, while also comparing her to a garbage receptacle. 

“Every trash can needs a lid and John Janssen found his,” the lawyer quips. 

The three-part “Real Housewives of Orange County” Season 18 reunion begins Thursday, Nov. 7, at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
