Alexis Bellino Addresses the Videos of Shannon Beador, Claims Shannon Has Been Lying About Certain Things

In a recent interview, Real Housewives of Orange County star Alexis Bellino opened up about the drama surrounding her relationship with John Janssen, particularly regarding the pre-DUI videos they possess of Shannon Beador.

As Alexis hinted at the possibility of revealing more clips, she also discussed her reaction to criticism from Emily Simpson and shared her thoughts on Tamra Judge, with whom she has a complicated history.

“We are filming a reality show, so things you say in the moment when it’s heated or you’re upset… I’ve said this before, but I was going through a really difficult season. It was hard for me to film, especially with John,” Alexis explained during her August 21 interview with Entertainment Tonight, regarding why she mentioned the videos on RHOC.

“He wanted to file the lawsuit, and Shannon had constantly been lying about things, so there’s a lot to that. It’s not just videos of the DUI night, by the way. But you’ll have to stay tuned to find out more,” she teased.

When pressed about the nature of the videos, Alexis remained tight-lipped. “I think I have to plead the fifth for right now about this and get back to you after the reunion,” she said.

Addressing Emily Simpson’s criticism, Alexis admitted she was surprised by the comments. “Yeah, I mean, the Emily that I knew before I joined back on the cast is not the Emily I’ve seen or worked with or had in my presence on the show as a cast member,” she noted. “So definitely shocked and a little appalled… [wondering] what might actually be behind all of that.”

Despite her issues with Emily, Alexis maintained a strong bond with Tamra Judge. “We’ve had so many heart-to-hearts now, and I think we both grew and had a lot of similar situations occur. It was awesome, and I do trust her,” Alexis shared, reflecting on their relationship after years of feuding.

The conversation then shifted to Alexis’s recent revelation that John Janssen offered to pay her Bravo salary to keep her off-camera—an offer he later doubled.

“He knew I wanted my own independence, but he also was just… I think he was wanting me to know, first of all, just how much he did love me and that he would be willing to take care of me,” Alexis explained. “He actually also then offered to double it. He said, ‘I’ll pay you double what Bravo is paying you.’”

Despite the generous offer, Alexis felt compelled to return to RHOC for herself. “I said, ‘Johnny, I have to do this for me. I already gave up my first career to be a stay-at-home wife for my first husband and my three children, and I know I get looked down upon because I was a kept woman or what other people said,’ so I just told Johnny I have to do this for myself, and once I did make the decision, he has been nothing but supportive and has never mentioned the money again,” she shared.

Regarding accusations that she’s been “coached” by John, Alexis firmly denied them. “Any healthy relationship, you’re going to talk to your significant other about your work, and this is my career so yeah, we talk, and to me, it’s foolish to think we wouldn’t talk,” she clarified. “[But] there’s no coaching.”

“I don’t think anyone can tell me I’m coachable. But, with that aside, use whatever word you want to make it feel good for you,” she added. “We talk a lot, and he is my best friend and my partner in crime and my future husband.”

Lastly, Alexis addressed the notion that it’s “suspect” she has dated two men who have sued Shannon Beador—first her ex-husband Jim Bellino, who filed a $1 million defamation case, and now John Janssen, who is suing Shannon for $75,000 over a facelift he claims to have funded.

“If she would shut her mouth and change her ways… isn’t it interesting that it’s two men about things she’s said and done?” Alexis questioned. “It’s her actions. It has nothing to do with me. I didn’t agree with John, but I am his girlfriend, so I am going to support him 100 percent.”
