Real Housewives of New York OG Luann de Lesseps throws shade at RHOC star Alexis Bellino: “I’m not gonna bring my boyfriend around her.”
Everyone in the Bravoverse can’t help but tune in to watch season 18 of the Real Housewives of Orange County thanks to the drama between Shannon Beador, her ex-boyfriend John Janssen and his new love Alexis Bellino.
Most Real Housewives of Orange County fans are Team Shannon Beador, and it turns out even most Bravolebs are rooting for the 60-year-old mom of three.
Real Housewives of New York OG Luann de Lesseps is the latest Bravo star to speak out in support of Shannon, with whom she is set to film a new reality TV dating show, tentatively titled Hotel Love, later this year. The series is expected to premiere on Peacock in 2025 and will also star Real Housewives of Potomac stars Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby.
As previously reported, Erika Jayne also recently blasted Alexis and John for going after Shannon and flaunting their relationship in her face.
Countess Luann defended Shannon in a recent interview while slamming Alexis Bellino for breaking girl code.
“It’s horrible,” Luann de Lesseps said of Shannon’s predicament while chatting with Page Six‘s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast.
“That’s gotta hurt, right?” noted the Countess. “And I mean, this guy. What kind of guy does that? On the same TV show, I mean, really? I would hate it! I would really have a tough time with it.”
Initially, Luann directed her anger at John Janssen since he had a prior relationship with Shannon. However, she quickly changed her tune, noting that it takes two to tango.
“I think it takes two to tango,” the 59-year-old reasoned, adding, “Nope, not at all, but I’m not gonna bring my boyfriend around her.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.

John and Shannon were not even together when Alexis started dating him.
Is this the SAME Luann who had no problem sleeping with a married guy on vacation? And Erika – the gold digging skank who abandoned the man who gave her everything? Well . . . .
I have no interest in this stupid new endeavor (especially with Jizz and Ashes) but I've always liked Lu and would love to see another season of Welcome to Crappie Lake (or wherever they're going next). I'm watching RHUGT: Legacy (currently airing on Bravo), and might have been too hasty with my criticism when it first aired on Peacock. It's actually pretty good.
The Countess is quality television…I miss the days when HWs shows were all quality television. When did it turn unwatchable?
It was fun!
Exactly Lu . Be cool , don’t be uncool .. Alexis ! And John is just a prick
Tell it like it is, Lu! Granted, it takes one voracious man eater to know one, but LuAnn in ALL her cougarfied wisdom knows there’s NO professional courtesy amongst man eaters. None. So, ladies, you best be keeping your man away from the HONGRY (just include man thievin’ cougar extraordinaire Countess LuAnn in that bunch too, K? ? ).
