Alexis Bellino‘s ex-husband, Jim Bellino, recently appeared on Kelly Dodd and Rick Leventhal‘s Patreon show. On the show, he called out his ex-wife’s lies about Shannon Beador.
Jim Bellino also addressed his kids not filming for season 18 of the Real Housewives of Orange County and shared his thoughts on Alexis’ relationship with John Janssen. He then explained why he regularly tunes in to watch RHOC despite not appearing on the show since season 8.
According to Jim, Alexis lied when she claimed on RHOC that she advised her ex-husband not to sue Shannon Beador.
“I can’t speak much about the lawsuits, but Alexis said she advised me not to sue Shannon,” Jim said on The Rick & Kelly Show. “Alexis doesn’t know the first thing about the lawsuits, nor was she involved in the lawsuits. So Shannon and [Tamra Judge], by the way, if you’re watching this, don’t get mad at her. I sued you for defamation and slander, and Alexis said she advised me not to sue you, Shannon, that’s a lie. She never advised me not to sue you.”
He continued, “I knew exactly why I did it and it was very relevant … [And] I’d do it again in a second. If you want to talk about somebody, be prepared to be sued, especially if it’s not true.”
Jim, who shares three teenage children with Alexis, revealed he was unwilling to allow their kids to film for RHOC when Alexis signed on for season 18.
“I never would let my kids do the show again. I was never asked from Alexis. She knows better,” he shared.
The Orange County businessman also revealed his kids’ feelings about Alexis’ relationship with John Janssen and their recent engagement.
“Alexis and I did an amazing job with our kids. They’re very independent. Nobody can f-ck with them as far as being an influence in any way. So for me, I’m totally okay with it because if there was a red flag, they would’ve told me,” he admitted.
Looking ahead to season 19 of RHOC, Jim says there’s no question that Alexis will be asked back, considering how polarizing her romance with John is, and she has created drama with Shannon and other cast members.
“I don’t think there’s any question that they will offer her a second season. Not only will she get a second season, [but] hopefully, she will accept the role and f*cking get paid and not lose money… As many people talk to me about it, it’s obviously gotten America’s attention, and I think RHOC was fading and it has new life,” Jim said.
Jim Bellino then explained why he has been tuning in to season 18 of RHOC.
“I watched the show for one purpose: To make sure they don’t abuse and talk about the lawsuit or anything disparaging about me. Don’t f*ck with my reputation because I will … it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars,” the 62-year-old said.
“I don’t want to be on the show. I don’t want to be any part of that. They keep bringing my image on the show, talking about the lawsuits, which they shouldn’t be doing. I don’t agree with that. [But] they need storyline and Bravo’s making money out of it. I have not seen a check yet, nor will I. I deserve several checks from Bravo. Yes, I do. I think it’s important for me to stay current for the purpose of protecting my reputation,” he continued.
“I don’t think Bravo has an intention to harm my reputation anymore. I think they know that I’m very very serious about my personal life,” Jim added.
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.

I always liked Jim.
Someone is lying. Alexis' name is either on the lawsuits (which means she's involved), or it's not. It's really just as simple as that. Tamra could easily clear it up, and the fact that she's not suggests to me that Shannon is "confused" (as usual). I suspect Chin is also watching to make sure his "trans" kid is not being exploited.
They have a trans kid? I thought Heather had the trans kids.
The indoctrination is REAL.
IJS.
I have a friend whose 26 yr. old daughter was convinced by her therapist that she was "emotionally" sexually abused by her father … she has changed her name to Warren and just had her breasts removed.
?????
There has been a lot of talk about the damage that therapists do to people. Parents have gone public about how their children have turned on them after sending them to therapy. That's scary.
I think truly capable and trained therapists who can do a lot of good, but generally speaking, they don’t provide anything to a patient that solid parenting, genuine friends, mentors, clergy, and other positive influencers in one’s life can’t provide.
Agreed. But how to do you know if you've found a good therapist for your child before the damage is done? As with your friend. It's sad and scary. Jennifer Aniston's mother and Prince William have both publicly said that therapists turned their family member on them. I've heard this before. Common theme. I always think of Gary Busey on the Apprentice…therapist stands for "the rapist". I didn't know WTH he meant at the time but it always stayed with me. And I always think of this when I hear people say that it's happened to them with loved ones.
I remember Gary Busey was a hoot with all those clever quips. Harry and J Aniston are definitely two people who have a propensity for being programmed … I would probably add Bethenny to that list.
Yup, they have a now 15 yr. old daughter who now goes by "Miles". She made the announcement about a year ago.

BTW, the Dubrows have just one trans kid … the other two are respectively "bi" and "gay", and Nick is the odd ball heterosexual. However, Heather proudly proclaims that "all four" of her kids are of different genders. Yes, you read that correctly.
Thanks. I didn't know.
Heather needs to lay off the Ozempic, her brain has lost too much fat.
Fancy Pants and Madame are those phony woke types whom I personally can't stand. You know they are both beyond embarrassed and devastated over their f-ed up kids. I suspect that's why they now have Nick (seemingly the only "normal one") all over the place representing the family.
Waiting for Dr Madame to film an episode of “ Botched” where he removes the 15 yr old daughter that’s pretending to be a boy’s AA boobies. I’m betting he’d do it for the right number. Not sure who, if anyone raised these kids but they did a shiddy job, those last three are puhLenty F’d up!
If you ax me, he needs to first fix the botched job on his own face … j/s.

Exactly! Just because it’s free doesn’t mean one should overindulge. The Dr & his Mrs seem more bizarre than usual this season.
What the hell happened to that guy. He looks terrible. I would really like to know what he had done that turned out so terribly. Every time I see him I'm shocked. And he hosts Botched!
What I don’t get is who the heck would look into that creepy botched face and trust him with a knife?
Never go to dentists with rotten teeth, hairdressers with bad hair, and cosmetic surgeons who look a tad freakish?
Yep, and you left out never eat the food from a skinny chef. My parents used to say, check out a doctor shoes … (if they’re expensive, you don’t want them). I didn’t really get it at the time, but I do now.
IDK…it must be hard for those kids. Three in one family? Okay, I know I will get blasted given the times we live in but I feel for those kids. It just seems off to me.
Really? I don't see that. I think Heather and her hubby like being the family who is trendy in the world they live in. Right along with JLo and Affleck and all the other celebrities ( I forgot Angelina). But that's just me.
I guess there’s no limit to their fame whoredom.
Thank you I just mentioned that ( Alexis name on papers). He’s a con. He got in trouble with eBay or someone for fraud or stealing years back I think ?
Back in the day, he was extremely controlling, and now that they're divirced, I'm sure Alexis would love to delve into it (for a story line of course).
Hey Jim get a job . Problem solved . Sure she needs to stay on so you can wait to sue someone or not have to pay her lol. Btw her name was on the lawsuit paperwork
Am I the only one surprised that this man got not only 1 HW to sleep with him, but 2?
Allegedly, the secret to his success is in his pants.
Is he still around?
Just shows how desperate Kelly and Rick are to get someone (anyone!) to be n their podcast.
I miss Kelly and I like Rick but other than that…agreed.
I don't like the way (or reason) they got rid of her, but I can't say I miss her. She became way to rabid, and I think Rick is a flip-flopping fame ho.
Kelly was too aggressive at times but I still miss her insanity. And I miss Rick on a certain network. He's not a bad guy.
He's on Newsmax (the dumping ground for former Fox News hosts) with the dreamy Rob Schmitt all the time.

True that … talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.
This guy is such a dick!
whatever?
Too bad Jim won’t let Alexis bring the kids on the show. She could exploit her gender confused teen along with Heather, that material is golden these days.
You know she’s pissed she can’t do just that and I’ll guarantee you, a plan is in the works. ?
Chin ain't having it, and I don't know how she can get around it.
Johnny J consulting his team of lawyers, I'm sure they're hunting another lawsuit
I HATE to admit this, BUT I’m developing a grudging TWINGE of (almost) actual respect for Chin.
Have to at least admire his stance on not allowing his kids to be exploited by their famewhore Mom.
Yup.
Although I would never want to know the dude, he is definitely one of those HW hubs who have been chewed up and spit out (by this show) … and there have been many!
Until then the best she can do is accompany Heather to the fundraisers for Sufferers of Gender Dysmorphia Tweens & Teens and talk about her failings as a parent. I wonder how much Heather was paid by NBC to bring this most important issue of our time to the viewers???
