Alexis Bellino Addresses Feud with Tamra Judge, Brooks Ayers Cancer & #RHOC Drama on #WWHL
As I listened to Heather Dubrow ramble on about her mega-monster of a mansion this season on The Real Housewives of Orange County, I kept thinking how hypocritical she was. Remember all the way back to season seven, when Heather led the firing squad on Alexis Bellino, claiming she was pretentious for talking about money all the time?
I had this little twinge of sympathy as I pictured Alexis curled up at home in front of her television, watching episodes with her Randy Quaid look-alike husband Jim, feeling wronged. But after seeing her tonight on Watch What Happens Live, my well of pity is drier than Tamra’s tear ducts. You see, I forgot that Alexis can’t string three words together. Thank you for reminding me why I wasn’t sad to see her leave, Bravo.
Tonight, Alexis showed up rocking a side ’do and sat next to the very funny Wendi McLendon-Covey. Andy Cohen chose to wear a Pepto-Bismol pink shirt, for some reason, and here’s what happened. Live! Andy immediately quizzes Alexis about her face. I have to agree with him. Either she has a contouring expert on hand, or our girl has had a little nip and tuck. But Alexis says uh-uh.
“Why does everyone say that? …No. I have a lot less makeup on. Well, for me.”
Then he asks about the email Alexis sent him regarding Tamra’s conversion. Alexis claims Tamra “was my biggest harasser.” Yes, Alexis questioned Tamra’s devotion, but says she didn’t mean to get all judgy-eyed. “…I immediately sent a Tweet and Instagram saying I’m sorry.” But she stands by her assessment that Tamra isn’t backing up her baptism with action.
On the topic of Brooks’ and whether or not he’s a disgusting liar, Alexis thinks about the whole Brooks Ayers cancer controversy and says she thinks people should butt out of his and Vicki Gunvalson’s business.
On David Beador’s affair, Alexis says, “I think they have a lot of courage to bring it out. None of us know what we would do in that situation.”
Then Andy showed a very troubling sneak peek of next week’s reunion finale (which, by the way, is on Sunday and not Monday).
When Andy asks if Vicki is scared of Brooks, she timidly nods, but insists he’s never gotten physical. Brianna calls bullsh*t and says she and Ryan both witnessed Brooks being abusive.
Vicki glances at her, “You mean when he shook my shoulders in the hallway at Tina’s? …He didn’t beat the hell out of me. I’m just giving everybody a perspective.” Brianna counters,
“Well, if he can do that in a room full of fifteen people, then what is he doing when you guys are alone? …I saw him shake her so hard her head was going back and forth. Nobody knows he stuff I’ve seen him do to you.”
Hopefully, we’ll be getting to the meat of the reunion. I. Can’t. Wait.
Now Andy asks Alexis if Brooks is getting a bum rap this season? She, like Vicki, defends him.
“We’re friends with them. I love Vicki dearly…she’s like a sister… I wish everybody would butt out of their business… If he does have cancer, everyone should feel really bad about it.”
But he doesn’t. So we don’t. Alexis sounds like a five-year-old little girl, with a very simplistic view on life. That may sound like a good thing, but it’s not.
A caller puts Heather on blast about her double standard regarding money talk, but Alexis seems to be in a forgiving mood—as long as we’re not discussing Tamra.
“I don’t…Heather always talked about money before, they just didn’t play the part… I got edited that way, and it’s fine.”
When a caller asks if she supports Kim Davis, the woman who refused to issue marriage licenses for gay weddings, Alexis stared into the camera with wide, confused eyes. “If they ask you to show your license, show your license.” When Andy quickly moves on, she says, “I don’t really know… I’m sorry.”
I had such fond memories of you, Alexis. But like that high school boyfriend, the one I remember as being way cuter than he really was, your nonsensical answers brought me back to reality with a thud.
So did Alexis have any work done to her face? Whose side do you take in the Tamra/Alexis feud? Or is that question, like Alexis Bellino, past its expiration date?
