“Vindicated!!!”— Real Housewives of Orange County Fans Commend Shannon for Revealing Alexis’ Jim Bellino Lawsuit Text Message
This week, on Thursday, October 10, 2024, episode 14 of season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County was aired. In a dramatic dinner scene, Heather Dubrow and Tamra Judge found themselves at odds with Shannon Beador, leading to an explosive moment where Shannon stormed off from the table.
Following this incident, Gina Kirschenheiter rushed after Shannon to offer some comfort, during which Shannon disclosed troubling revelations about a 2018 lawsuit involving Tamra and herself, initiated by Jim Bellino, the ex-husband of Alexis Bellino.
Shannon went on to share a text message that stood in stark contrast to Alexis’ claims regarding the lawsuit. In the season premiere, Alexis asserted that she had no part in the lawsuit against the two Real Housewives stars, yet Shannon’s archived messages indicated it had indeed been a joint decision.
Fans expressed their opinions on social media in response to the segment. One user on X noted:
“Vindicated!!! Can’t WAIT for Tamra, Ms. ‘Alexis never sued me!’ to explain that!!!”
“Everything hidden will eventually be revealed! I’m thrilled that Shannon found that text and it’s the key evidence. Yay for Shannon!!!”a fan reacted.
“The drama is unreal!!!! Receipts, proof, timelines, screenshots, EVERYTHING!!!! Shannon got her justice (no surprise)!!! Gina always backed Shannon,”another tweet shared.
Many fans of the franchise voiced their desire for the removal of Alexis and Tamra from the show:
“After the madness tonight with all the gaslighting & lies… I NEED both Tamra and Alexis to go—enough is enough! True colors have been revealed! Lines have been crossed and it seems unrepairable… Shannon still stands by Tamra regarding the Jim lawsuit but honestly, forget her!”wrote a fan.
“Incredible that she found it. I’m so relieved she was right. It disgusts me how Tamra can align with Alexis just to undermine Shannon, who has faced so much gaslighting this season. I just want to hug her. The blackmailing is just disgusting and vile,”commented another viewer.
“Isn’t it ironic that Tamra won’t bring up that text she responded to, claiming she remembered the situation? Why deny it, Tamra? You said it from your own mouth, confirming that Alexis DID sue you and Shannon. It’s baffling why you’re defending someone who took legal action against you. Is this just for drama?”asked another user.
Season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County continued with more drama as well:
“Shannon found the evidence she needed through old texts with Alexis! It’s amazing how sticking to your principles pays off! She got all the scoop on Alexis!!!”someone remarked.
“It’s shocking that this situation affected Tamra yet she still chose to betray Shannon with Alexis… she is truly malicious. Tamra will never find peace,”another fan expressed.
Shannon Beador Unveils Old Text Message from Alexis Bellino
In episode 14 of season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Shannon informed Gina that she had stumbled upon an old text from Alexis dated June 27, 2018, while letting her know she wouldn’t be included in the cast trip.
The text indicated that everything Shannon and Tamra had publicly stated post-divorce was untrue.
“We have retained legal representation and will be pursuing a lawsuit for defamation and slander against you and Tamra. Your false and damaging claims come at an especially difficult moment for our family,”the message added.
Shannon mentioned that she had shared this message with Tamra. She recalled that when she decided to uninvite Alexis, she immediately texted Tamra about finding the incriminating message on her phone. Tamra responded by claiming she remembered it but had never received the message, as Alexis did not have her number.
Fans of RHOC took to social media to commend Shannon for unveiling the text messages from Alexis.
The next episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 is scheduled to air on October 17, 2024, on Bravo.
