The drama continues to heat up in the world of The Real Housewives as OG of the OC, Vicki Gunvalson, doesn’t hold back when it comes to voicing her opinion on Alexis Bellino’s new relationship with John Jansen — the ex-boyfriend of Shannon Beador. In a recent interview, Vicki expressed clear disapproval over how quickly the new couple seems to be moving, casting serious doubt on Alexis’s previous claims that John was “heartbroken” after the breakup.
“She said he was devastated, shocked, even blindsided after things ended with Shannon. But if that’s really the case, how is he already in such a fast-moving relationship?” Vicki questioned, clearly skeptical of the narrative.
According to Vicki, John’s swift transition into a new romance with Alexis, just months after ending things with Shannon, feels “insincere.” “I’m not saying they can’t be together, but there should be some time. A level of respect for his past relationship should still be there,” she added.
Alexis Bellino — a former RHOC cast member herself — has shared that she and John connected during a period of mutual healing. However, Vicki isn’t convinced this relationship blossomed solely out of shared vulnerability and questions whether more is going on behind the scenes.
Vicki also came to the defense of her close friend Shannon Beador, stating that Shannon is “deeply hurt” by seeing her ex so quickly and publicly involved with someone from the same reality TV circle. “I can’t just sit back and watch my friend suffer while the same man who claimed to love her is now parading around with someone familiar like nothing ever happened,” Vicki said pointedly.
This situation isn’t just about a rebound romance — it’s becoming a full-blown Housewives showdown between the old guard and the new. With Vicki’s bold statements now out in the open, fans are eagerly waiting to see whether Alexis will respond or if this drama will escalate further in the upcoming season.
One thing’s for sure: in Orange County, love may come and go, but the drama is forever.
