Shannon Beador called Alexis Bellino “thirsty” after learning she posted a photoshopped cast pic that included Jesus Jugs, despite her not being a full time cast member. During an interview with Jeff Lewis, Shannon explained how the season 18 photo she posed for differs from the photo Alexis shared on her Instagram page.
The Real Housewives of Orange County personality explained why Alexis wasn’t featured in the cast picture – not knowing there was a version of the photo with Alexis posed among Shannon, Tamra Judge, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti, and Heather Dubrow.
“She wasn’t a part of the all cast photo,” began Shannon. “She’s a friend” of the cast. “Let’s be clear. Alexis Bellino is a friend. She’s not holding an orange.” One of the Hollywood Houselift With Jeff Lewis star’s co-hosts asked Shannon’s opinion of Alexis’s social media post.
“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.” Shannon chopped the photo off as “Wishful thinking!”
“The cast photo does not have an orange,” repeated John Janssen‘s fiancé regarding his new girlfriend. However, as soon as Shannon realized Alexis posted a manipulated photo to her social media left Shannon gobsmacked. “Wait. Did she really photoshop that?!”
“Ok, you guys. I don’t know if this means anything, but let’s take” Alexis out of the photo. “She never was in the flipping picture. Who’s in the center? Bam. That would be me.”
“That is not the cast photo,” announced one of Jeff Lewis’s co-hosts. He read Alexis’s caption aloud, which thanked Instagram creator @DorindaDeadly “for including me in this photo!!!! And watch out… because the TRUTH will be told.”
“It’s so thirsty,” Shannon concluded. “I’ll just leave it at that.”

Bravo TV fans react:
- The fact that Alexis’ ex sued Shannon and now Alexis is dating Shannon’s ex. This would be my villain origin story 😂
- That’s fucking wild. I have never been a Shannon fan, but since this Alexis situation, I find myself rooting for her!
- Alexis bragging that she stole her ex is PICK me girl energy lmao
- If Shannon comes in humble this season, think she’ll win over the viewers. We love a good comeback 🙌
- I will defend Shannon to the very end. Bringing Alexis back was the shadiest casting choice since Bravo added Melissa Gorga to RHONJ, it’s not a good look to do something so obviously malicious to someone who’s going through a hard time.
