I gave it one or two episodes to see how it would go, and then I got pretty hooked.”*** ***“She made for good TV this year in all of her drunken stupors,”*** the RHOC alum said of [Tamra Judge](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-orange-county/tamra-barney/)’s return for season 17.

As *Real Housewives of Orange County* fans know, Alexis Bellino starred in seasons 5 through 8 of the OC Housewives franchise from 2009 until 2013. While Alexis hasn't starred on *Real Housewives of Orange County* in numerous years, her name was mentioned at the recent season 17 reunion by none other than Tamra Judge. ![RHOC](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/rhoc-alexis-bellino-tamra-judge.png)RHOC's Alexis Bellino and Tamra Judge have a long history of ups and downs [During the RHOC season 17 reunion](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/10/16/tamra-judge-freak-out-andy-cohen/), Tamra called out [Heather Dubrow](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-orange-county/heather-dubrow/) for championing Alexis' potential return to RHOC instead of her. As Bravo fans know, Tamra was ultimately returned to RHOC for season 17 after a two-year hiatus from the show. Alexis said she found it ***"disgraceful"*** for Tamra to use her name amid her [feud with Heather](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/09/21/heather-dubrow-proves-she-didnt/). ***“It’s ridiculous that she is using my name as an excuse to carry out any of this behavior,” ***she said before giving props to Tamra for her continued ability to ***“drive conflict”*** on the *Real Housewives of Orange County*. *RHOC* will return for season 18 in 2024. ## Thoughts on this all?
