Watch: ‘RHOC’ Tamra Judge Opens Up About Shannon Beador’s DUI Arrest (Exclusive)

The feud between Alexis Bellino and Shannon Beador is heating up hotter than the SoCal sun.

During The Real Housewives of Orange County's Aug. 15 episode, Bellino declared she was officially done with her costar bad-mouthing her ex John Janssen, who Bellino is now dating.

"If she wasn't still going around making up lies about him, I wouldn't be on a hell path," she told costars Tamra Judge, Jennifer Pedranti and Katie Ginella during a group trip to Big Bear, Calif. "He has not a bad bone in his body. I'm so over him being abused. I'm so over him being lied about."

In a confessional, Bellino explained that the businessman isn't the bad guy Beador has painted him to be following their 2022 breakup.

"I get really worked up about John, because the man is nothing but kind, generous, loving and caring," the 47-year-old defended him. "And, unfortunately, Shannon has ruined John's reputation throughout the community. If the girls actually gave John a chance, they would see the man that I see."

Plus, he was Bellino's only support during one of the darkest times of her life.

"My mom recently passed away," the Bravo star tearfully added, "and John has been the only one that has been by my side."

But when Bellino's costars urged her to end the drama and move on, she dropped a bombshell.

"Do I need to pull out the videos?" she asked the group. "Johnny's ready to talk. So, yeah, I will stop her."

And when Bellino added that her alleged receipts "will ruin her life," Judge clarified, "She has videos of her the night of her DUI."

In a confessional, Bellino confirmed she's holding on to footage taken of Beador the night she was arrested in September 2023 after crashing her car into a house in Newport Beach, Calif. following a fight with Janssen.

"The videos are definitely horrific," Bellino claimed. "Once I saw them, I couldn't go back to feeling the same about her."

Bellino further told the women, "She has now pushed us to the point where, if she doesn't stop lying," before Judge finished her sentence with, "He'll expose it."

Plus, Bellino warned, "It's 10 times worse than you can actually imagine."
