As for why Shannon Beador won't be sweating Alexis' potential return to the *Real Housewives of Orange County*, the insider says it is because she has so many allies on the show to lean on and have her back. ***"I think she has enough allies on that show,"*** one insider said. ***"Especially if they bring [Vicki (Gunvalson)](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/10/17/vicki-gunvalson-s18-rhoc/) back."*** ![RHOC](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/daily-dish-rhoc-shannon-beador-john-janssen-1200x800.jpeg)Shannon Beador and John Janssen pose for date night photo at Shannon's OC home [Alexis and Shannon](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/09/21/shannon-beador-alexis-bellino-dui/) never starred on the *Real Housewives of Orange County* together, as Shannon joined the franchise after Alexis' season nine exit.
