The Real Housewives of Orange County cast was divided when it came to Alexis Bellino's budding romance with John Janssen.

Especially after his ex and her costar, Shannon Beador, revealed their love triangle drama had spilled over into their gym routines when the businessman started taking his new girlfriend to Shannon's longtime personal trainer.

"That's awkward," Emily Simpson reacted upon hearing the news from Shannon during the Bravo series' July 25 episode. "Why doesn't he just give you your personal trainer and move on?"

According to Shannon, the gym owner even confronted John and Alexis over the awkwardness of the situation.

"Alex said, 'We don't want any drama here,'" Shannon recounted to Emily. "So then Alexis said, 'I'm a good Christian girl,' and he said something like, 'A good Christian girls talks about her sex life?'"

Of course, Shannon was referencing the show's July 18 episode in which Alexis bragged about having sex with John four times a day.

"And then John is like, 'F--k you! F--k you!'" Shannon continued of the confrontation. "'We're never coming back here again.' And he kept saying, 'Shannon's behind all of this!' It's like, no I'm not."

When it came to Alexis' side of the story, she separately vented to Tamra Judge and Jennifer Pedranti and accused Shannon of backstabbing her.

"There's no way he's gonna know about a luncheon where I bring up sex," she shared of the gym fight. "The only culprit to that is Shannon."

But after Alexis took both Shannon's ex and her trainer, Emily began questioning her costar's actions. As she told Shannon, "It's very Single White Female," in reference to the classic 1992 psychological thriller.

And Shannon agreed.

"Is Alexis trying to live the life that I had?" she pondered in a confessional. "She's with my ex-boyfriend, she's getting love-bombed like I did, they're going to the same restaurants, they're riding on the boat, they go to the same gym, he took her to the same hotel for her birthday that he took me for mine. Alexis, good luck trying to be me."
