Shannon Beador is calling out Alexis Bellino for photoshopping herself into the RHOC season 18 cast photo.
Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador appeared on Radio Andy‘s Jeff Lewis Live, where she slammed Alexis Bellino for posting a photoshopped cast picture for season 18.
“Shannon, I have a question for you and I, I was gonna ask you this. I saw a lot; when the cast photo came out of everybody, a lot of the cast members posted it, deleted it, and cut out Alexis on the side. Was that something you guys had joined together to make a decision that you wanted to do that or not?” a co-host of Jeff Lewis Live asked.
“She wasn’t a part of the all-cast photo,” Shannon stated, noting, “She’s a friend” of the RHOC cast.
“Let’s be clear. Alexis Bellino is a friend. She’s not holding an orange.”
When asked about Alexis’ recent Instagram post where she inserted herself into the RHOC season 18 cast photo, Shannon called the post “wishful thinking” on Alexis’ part.
Shannon called Alexis “thirsty” for sharing the photoshopped cast photo on Instagram and insisted that the returning OC Housewife was NOT featured in the official cast picture for season 18.
“First of all, I don’t look at her social media. But, if I wanted to [I couldn’t]. Apparently, I’m blocked. So, I wouldn’t know what Alexis’s version of the photo is.”
She continued, “[Alexis] was not there. Let’s take her out because she was never in the flipping picture. Who’s in the center? Who’s in the center, girlfriend? BAM! That would be me.”
Shannon then teased that season 18 of RHOC is “juicy” and discussed how soon her boyfriend, John Janssen, began dating Alexis Bellino following their split in late 2023.
“I think they started dating about six weeks after we broke up. That’s it. Then the show started filming, and I think they’d been dating for about a month and a half, two months at that time. So, it was a new relationship. So no, it wasn’t fun, but I got through it,” Shannon explained.
She further teased: “You’ll have to tune in ’cause it’s a [doozy]. I’ve seen the first episode and it’s, it’s a lot. It’s juicy.”
Season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County premieres on Bravo Thursday, July 11, at 9 p.m. ET.
