On Thursday’s episode of RHOC, Alexis Bellino threatened to release videos of Shannon Beador from the night of her DUI that “will ruin her life.”
During the August 15 episode of RHOC, the cast split into two groups for their first trip of season 18.
Alexis Bellino, Jenn Pedranti, Katie Ginella, and Tamra Judge went on a getaway to Big Bear, while Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter, Heather Dubrow, and Shannon Beador escaped to Palm Springs.
It wasn’t long before Alexis brought up Shannon, who used to date her current boyfriend, John Janssen.
“I get really worked up about John,” Alexis explained. “Because the man is nothing but kind, generous, loving, caring. Unfortunately, Shannon has ruined John’s reputation throughout the community.”
When Jenn questioned why Alexis was “on such a hell path,” the returning RHOC star told her not to “bring up the ‘S’ word.”
“If she wasn’t still going around making lies about him, I wouldn’t be on a hellpath,” she insisted.
Earlier in Thursday’s episode, Alexis was chatting on the phone with John when Tamra told John that she never had any issues with him, which relieved Alexis.
“He has not a bad bone in his body,” she said. “I’m so over him being abused. I’m so over him being lied about. If the girls actually gave John a chance, they would see the man that I see.”
When chatting with the rest of the ladies, Jenn asked Alexis why she felt the need to keep fighting with Shannon.
“Do you think you’ll stop her?” Jenn asked.
“Do I need to pull out the videos? Johnny’s ready to talk. So yeah, I will stop her,” Alexis responded.
“Videos of what?” Jenn asked, which is when Tamra interjected that John “has videos of [Shannon] the night of her DUI.”
“It will ruin her life,” Alexis added before telling the cameras that “the videos are definitely horrific.”
“She has now pushed us to the point where she doesn’t stop lying…” Alexis said as Tamra added, “He’ll expose it.”
The idea of Alexis and John exposing personal footage of Shannon made Jenn feel uneasy.
“Alexis, why are we even going here?” Jenn said in her confessional. “What do these videos matter? Why does anybody need to see them? Does anybody take into account what this will do to Shannon, her family? In my opinion, it’s wrong.”
Still, Alexis wasn’t bothered by Jenn’s concerns and went on to discuss how ugly the videos of Shannon were.
“It’s 10 times worse than you can actually imagine,” she claimed. “I definitely have said quite a few prayers for her.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Everyone here judging John for having videos of Shan on the night of DUI shouldn’t be so quick to judge him. What if he recorded her because she was acting violently or maybe even threatening him? It could’ve been out of safety reasons. Clearly she gets out of control when she’s drunk. Something to think about folks! ?????
Exactly and I agree. I can only imagine how drunk and out of control Shannon was.
What explains the YEARS of videos, though? ???? You mean to tell me after the woman had a near nervous breakdown over protecting her relationship with this creep all last season, he’s going to nonetheless keep taking abuse from her (and giving none in return ?) to the extent he needs to keep YEARS of surveillance on her -including the lowest point in her life- cuz he was AFRAID of her? ? Was he afraid of her when she bankrolled that $10,000 vacation getaway for him and his brats? I guess she wasn’t so scary then, eh? ? Funny that. Sugar mama Shannon = Good Shannon ?
EXACTLY
Right, but that doesn't give him the right to publicly release the videos for exploitation.
Looks like OC is taking the same road as NJ’s dead end with the “ friends” separate trips. Alexis is almost as evil as Tamruff, disgusting to watch them attempt to hide their devil behind all the Jesus and prayer talk… How low can Bravo go?
Seems to me the JJ's releasing this video are dangerously treading on Kenya Moore territory, sans the sexual nature of course, at least we think (although I wouldn't put it past him).
Lol @ ‘the JJ’s’ ???
Actually, the videos were taken on his property, I'm assuming on a security camera or ring and it was Shannon on his property so there is nothing illegal here.
I would dispute that. According to Quora, If someone is trespassing over your property it would not be illegal to record their activities, however, if it is someone who is legally entitled to be on your property you must obtain their consent. The recording itself maybe/maybe not, but posting it online for the sole purpose of damaging Shannon's reputation would be surely be problematic.
It doesn’t work like that as it’s not illegal to video tape someone in public or on your property without consent, just look at all the YouTube and TikTocs of people nowdays.
IKR? I can binge Code Blue arrest videos (usually taken from “cop cams”) all night long, but what about all the court cases with people winning huge $ettlements when people defame them online? Shannon would win BIG if the JJ’s post the videos. Talk about poetic justice.
I'm still not convinced she will win anything since she did come on his private property and that is different than being in public. Plus, I don't think John will post anything but Alexis who has ZERO business putting this out there, now that can be a lawsuit, a BIG one at that and she's not too bright.
Even if Alexis is stupid enough to defame Shannon on her own, I can’t imagine Bravo being as equally stupid by airing it.
Then you also have the clause of HW can’t sue another HW, even if a Friend Of. Now I could see evil Tamra letting the cat out othe bag because she knows this.
There are ways around that. Alexis’ name was allegedly on the their lawsuit against Shannon and Tamra (or so Shannon claims). Also, although she $ettled, Joanna sued Brandi.
But Alexis want's the FILER of the lawsuit, Jim was and if I remember correctly Joanna was no longer a HW when that happened.
But Alexis hasn’t been a HW for 10 yrs. so there’s that, and I think there is going to be more to Shannon’s claim that Alexis was involved in the lawsuit. They were already divorced, so I’m skeptical. But if memory serves, Tamra and Shannon shot their mouths off about their divorce. I was listening to Heather’s podcast on that infamous day, and I knew they really stepped in it. I do remember Shannon being a total c-word about Alexis (whom she said she never even met) which didn’t even make sense. It was a huge outside LIVE event, and it as obvious they were beyond trashed.
Shannon and Tamra were sued by Jim for deformation because Tamra said Jim was a shady MF’r and Shannon said that people get paralyzed at Jim’s trampoline park. I do believe they were still married during this time but Jim sued Tamra & Shannon, Jim was not a HW and I can’t find where Alexis name was ever listed on the lawsuit and let’s face it Shannon lies.
Same here, I’ve been hunting for said evidence since Shannon made the claim (so far nothing). But then again, we ARE talking about a 55 yr. old woman who doesn’t know how to pay a utility bill.
She's 60 and why do I know this much about this woman….
I referring to her age when she said it, but I guess she is 60. She looks pretty good this season; she’s wisely avoiding the trout and/or joker mouth thing.
Oh gotcha, I guess that facelift worked
Ya Know! All these close ups, the are starting to look like reptilians. I first noticed it with Dolores, RHONJ, when she had that blue top on, but seriously Alexis (gag), and the rest are following suit. I don't like to hate on women, but it's getting gross. Just age gracefully women. Shannon, is actually looking the finest.
I saw it and I don’t think it’s Botox. These broads have passed over to the dark side. Creepy AF!
Oof! I think you may be right…???

Reptilians, that made me laugh! I agree with you 200%.
Shannon had a face lift and she looks great. I loved that scene where Vicki is giving her righteous speech to the ladies (I love Vicki…yes I said it) and Heather and I think Emily are having a side bar saying how great Shannon looks while Tamra and Vicki are yelling at each other. Priceless. Hey, if a facelift works, so be it.
#freeShannon – these people are awful and it is vile what they are doing to her. Producers need to remove Alexis from this show immediately. They are both passively and actively taunted her at this point.
Shannon needs to remove herself from this pit of hell.
I think she would if she could afford to do so. I think she is reliant on the money. I don't believe any woman would subject herself to that, if she didn't. I also suspect Shannon signed the contract before they brought Alexis on, though I don't know that as fact.
And no matter what Tamera thinks about supporting women, she has been cruel since the beginning of time and has reached a level of nastiness that is truly disgusting for pay.
These women like to tell us that we are seeing their "real" lives on the show. If that is true, then videos of Shannon the night she almost damaged other people's property, could have hurt or killed other people and hurt herself are fair game as part of her "real" life.
Will we ever see them? Not on the show, but maybe leaked on some social media platform. Still I doubt the show much more than we cannot imagine pretty clearly.
I absolutely love all the comments. Starting with the Bible quote to the one about Alexis suffering the same treatment ( KARMA)
PS
I don’t like Tamara new hate for Shannon
she’s no saint and now sitting judging.
Why is she so angry at Shannon ? It’s crazy the way she keeps angrily yelling comments to her and annoying to watch
John is eventually going to treat Alexis the same way, she is such an a-hole like John! She is desperate coming in all hot to defend that scum. I don't wish ill will on anyone but her day is coming and I don't think it's going to take very long.
I think Alexis is naive. Not defending naivety but I'm not convinced that she's cruel. Just really shallow.
Serious question is Alexis on some meds ? She’s ridiculous. Also who is she to make threats as a new girlfriend and why is the ex boyfriend who claims to not want to be public for years , threatening videos? This absurd . Why is bravo allowing this ? Shannon should’ve gotten a c& d sent to them both .
Just the fact that there ARE videos tells you all you need to know about this man as the other tango partner in a toxic tango. Alexis may want to read and reflect on Proverbs 16:5 before it’s too late. IJS ?
Proverbs 16:5
Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
be assured he will not go unpunished.
?
Amen to that…
I can't believe that scumbag Janssen recorded Shannon the night of the DUI. Or are these videos from his house cameras? In any event, saving them to use against Shannon on TV is about as low as he can go. He has hatred for Shannon.
Yeah, no matter what’s on those videos it doesn’t reflect well on him that he preserved them and is ostensibly hosting private viewings whilst threatening public release. It just confirms to me my gut feelings about this scrub were, and likely still are, SPOT on. TEAM SHANNON! ?
TEAM SHANNON AS WELL!
