On Thursday’s episode of RHOC, Alexis Bellino threatened to release videos of Shannon Beador from the night of her DUI that “will ruin her life.”
During the August 15 episode of RHOC, the cast split into two groups for their first trip of season 18.
Alexis Bellino, Jenn Pedranti, Katie Ginella, and Tamra Judge went on a getaway to Big Bear, while Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter, Heather Dubrow, and Shannon Beador escaped to Palm Springs.
It wasn’t long before Alexis brought up Shannon, who used to date her current boyfriend, John Janssen.
“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 hell path,” the returning RHOC star 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 Thursday’s episode, Alexis was chatting on the phone with John when Tamra told John that she never had any issues with him, which relieved Alexis.
“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.”
When chatting with the rest of the ladies, Jenn asked Alexis why she felt the need to keep fighting 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 responded.
“Videos of what?” Jenn asked, which is when Tamra interjected that John “has videos of [Shannon] the night of her DUI.”
“It will ruin her life,” Alexis added before telling the cameras that “the videos are definitely horrific.”
“She has now pushed us to the point where she doesn’t stop lying…” Alexis said as Tamra added, “He’ll expose it.”
The idea of Alexis and John exposing personal footage of Shannon made Jenn feel uneasy.
“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 wasn’t bothered by Jenn’s concerns and went on to discuss how ugly the videos of Shannon were.
“It’s 10 times worse than you can actually imagine,” she claimed. “I definitely have said quite a few prayers for her.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
