Vicki Gunvalson Reacts to Nemesis Alexis Bellino’s Return to RHOC; Everything To Know About Their Feud

Alexis Bellino-Vicki Gunvalson feud explained

Bellino, who was a cast member from 2009 to 2013, decided to come back to the show after giving it careful consideration and feeling apprehensive. When it was announced that she would rejoin the Season 18 cast as a friend, she shared her reservations with E! News. “I almost didn’t go back because I knew what awaited me,” she explained. “But then I thought, ‘Why should I miss out on something I want to do simply because I’m dating someone else’s former boyfriend?'”

The connection between Bellino and John Janssen drew criticism from Gunvalson, who expressed her disapproval loudly. The Real Housewives of Bravo account shared a meme about the Beador-Bellino-Janssen situation on social media, and Gunvalson commented “Preposterous and thirsty for both of them.” She later shared an article from Celebuzz, suggesting she found this relationship distasteful.

Last year marked the beginning of the public relationship between the duo, a year after Beador and Janssen’s separation. Bellino shared that she felt hurt and let down by the words of someone she thought was a friend, leading to this latest revelation causing more upheaval once again.

Shannon Beador comes clean on the feud 

Despite the internet adding fuel to the situation, Beador has consistently made it clear that she is not vying to win back Bellino’s relationship with Janssen. The two had an on-again, off-again romance from 2019 to 2023. In a conversation with US Weekly, the TV personality clarified that she harbors no desire for friendship with Bellino, due to reasons unrelated to Janssen. She stated, “There’s a clip of me saying something like, ‘You won’t get my man.’ I’m not participating in this competition. Have fun!”
