The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 recently aired Episode 13 on Thursday, October 3, 2024. In this episode, Shannon Beador informed the cast about their impending trip to London, revealing, however, that one cast member would not be partaking.
Shannon sent a text message to Alexis Bellino, notifying her that she was not invited on the cast trip. Jenn and Katie, who were aware of the text beforehand, expressed their hopes that Alexis wouldn’t overreact. After having previously sent a bouquet to Shannon in hopes of mending fences, Alexis told the RHOC cast, “I’m f*cking done.”
Fans took to social media to share their reactions regarding the text message. One user on X remarked:
“Shannon’s text to Alexis is hilarious please”
“Shannon did the right thing, keep Alexis at arms length. She can continue with her theatrics in the OC we don’t want her here in England!”a fan commented.
“Shannon sending that text to Alexis was *chef’s kiss*. If production wanted Alexis on the cast trip, she would be going. And Alexis knows that hence her saying ‘she wouldn’t be a part of the group.’ She’s getting ahead of the inevitable,”another tweet read.
Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 expressed that Shannon effectively “eviscerated”Alexis with her text:
“Alexis works overtime to hurt & humiliate Shannon. Via a text, Shannon eviscerated her with a reminder of who’s queen & who’s FOH. Alexis is so useless, even production couldn’t force a space for her on a cast trip. She brings nothing aside from dating Shannon’s sloppy seconds,”a commenter stated.
“I love Shannon’s text. It needed to be said. How does Alexis send a peace offering in the middle of a lawsuit mixed with a season of extortion? Girl is trying so hard to get film time yet she is appropriately excluded from events,”a fan shared.
“Shannon letting Alexis know she’s not invited to the London trip via text message is a SAVAGE move, I don’t care what y’all say. That’s how you serve C*NT,”another user commented.
Fans continued to react:
“Shannon said I’m the full-time wife, and Alexis is the FOH. THERE WILL BE BOUNDARIES, and Alexis’ presence is not required for the cast trip. And I’m glad she’s not allowing the other women to influence her into being ‘nicer’ in the text. Alexis doesn’t deserve a nicer text,”one person commented.
“I have never had anyone text me to let me know I wasn’t invited/welcomed somewhere. The clarification Shannon had to make because Jesus J*gs Bellino sent her flowers thinking it would garner an invite is hilarious,”a fan remarked.
“You are not invited”— Shannon sends Alexis a text about the upcoming The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 cast trip
In The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 Episode 13, titled “You Are Cordially Not Invited”, Shannon informed the group that she was organizing a cast trip to London and that Alexis would not be attending. Jenn and Katie expressed the desire to tell Alexis in person.
Jenn observed that Alexis was in a “really good mood,”while Katie predicted that this wouldn’t last long. In a confessional, she stated she felt Alexis was “owed”an in-person delivery of the news about the trip. The Real Housewives of Orange County cast members implied that Alexis must have received a text from Shannon.
“Hello Alexis, it’s Shannon Beador. I am hosting a trip to Europe with my friends and just want to make it clear that you are not invited,”the text read.
The message further stated that Shannon’s decision to exclude her should be “quite understandable given the circumstances.”Shannon also thanked the RHOC cast member for the flowers but made it clear that she was uninterested in Alexis’ “olive branch.”
Fans reacted positively to Shannon’s text and praised her assertiveness. The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 will return next week with a brand new episode on Bravo.
