It’s a big no,***” the*[Real Housewives of Beverly Hills](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/)*alum tells [Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea.”](https://pagesix.com/podcasts/virtual-reali-tea/)  The *“Two Ts in a Pod”* podcast co-host adds that it’s ***“hard to watch” ***Alexis continuously defend her now-fiancé [John Janssen ](https://allabouttrh.com/2024/09/23/erika-jayne-john-janssen-alexis/)against troublesome claims made by his ex-girlfriend and RHOC star [Shannon Beador](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-orange-county/shannon-beador-rhoc/).  ***“Her fighting John’s battles is disturbing to me,”*** [Teddi Mellencamp](https://allabouttrh.com/2024/09/28/alexis-bellino-vs-teddi-mellencamp/) says of Alexis' efforts to shut down accusations that John body-shamed Shannon during their relationship, was*** “coaching”*** her for RHOC scenes and using the 60-year-old for money.  Alexis has fought against said allegations on camera in defense of John. Meanwhile, John continues to claim that he enjoys living a private life and wants none of the fame that comes with RHOC despite appearing on season 18 alongside Alexis. ![RHOC alum Alexis Bellino spotted out with Shannon Beador](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Screen-Shot-2023-12-19-at-7.54.10-AM.png)RHOC alum Alexis Bellino spotted out with Shannon Beador's ex John Janssen Teddi Mellencamp doesn't buy John's claims that he isn't interested in fame. ***“I think that John saying he doesn’t want to be in the limelight or famous or wants to be kept out of it or whatever it may be, I think is complete and utter bulls—t,”*** the 43-year-old explains. ***“If you don’t want to be a part of something, you’re not a part of it … You don’t want to be famous? Don’t date two girls in the public eye.”*** However, [Tamra Judge](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-orange-county/tamra-barney/) insists that Alexis is*** “sweet, kind and good”*** and that John should be staying out of the drama between the women of the show. ***“As a man on any ‘Housewives’ show, when you are trying to get your point across and [filming] confessionals, it never lands right,” ***says the RHOC vet. ***“My advice to any man is just be quiet,”*** she elaborates. ***“Take notes from Eddie. He does not want to get involved, he wants to diffuse the situation, walk out.”*** ***“The whole John of it all is I think where it gets all kind of messy. It’s really a no-win situation. Alexis came in and there’s no way that she could win. She’s dating Shannon’s ex-boyfriend,” ***Tamra admits. ***“Obviously, [Teddi is] looking at it as a viewer. I know Alexis in a different manner.” *** Meanwhile, Teddi insists that they Alexis viewers are seeing isn't the true her as she is coming across as unlikeable to viewers due to her constant conflict with Shannon over John. ![RHOC alum Alexis Bellino spotted out with Shannon Beador](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Alexis-Bellino.png)RHOC alum Alexis Bellino spotted out with Shannon Beador's ex John Janssen ***“She could win by saying, ’Shannon, I’m really sorry. I can imagine how bad this is freaking hurting you,’”*** says the mom of three. ***“We all went to a concert together. Alexis was fun, she was self-deprecating, I enjoyed her,”*** Teddi notes. ***“So I’m not trying to dog her out but what I’m watching is a different Alexis and [she’s] so unable to see her own self for her flaws or for the things that she’s doing,”*** she shares.*** “That’s hard for me to watch.”*** [The Real Housewives of Orange County ](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-orange-county/)airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET. ## Thoughts on this all?
