RHOC: Alexis Threatens to Release Videos of Shannon from the Night of Her DUI That 'Will Ruin Her Life'

Alexis Bellino reveals a secret she’s been keeping about Shannon Storms Beador.

In the episode of August 15 The Real Housewives of Orange County, the ladies split up and Alexis, Jenn Pedranti, Katie Ginella and Tamra Judge go on a getaway to Big Bear. Meanwhile, Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter, Heather Dubrow and Shannon have fled to Palm Springs.

It wasn’t long before Alexis mentioned John Janssen, her boyfriend who had previously dated Shannon.

“I’m really nervous about John,” Alexis explained. “Because the man is just kind, generous, loving, caring. Unfortunately, Shannon has ruined John’s reputation throughout the community.”

When Jenn asked why Alexis was “on such a hell of a ride” with Shannon, Alexis told her that she “doesn’t bring up the ‘S’ word.”

“If she wasn’t still walking around lying about him, I wouldn’t be on the road to hell,” she insisted.

Earlier in the episode, Alexis was on the phone with John when Tamra answered to tell him that she never had any ill will towards him. This was a relief to Alexis, who claimed that everyone had a false perception of who John was.

“He doesn’t have a bad bone in his body,” she said. “I am so over him being abused. I’m so over it that he’s being lied to. If girls really gave John a chance, they would see the man I see.”

Talking to the other women, Jenn asked Alexis if she thought it was worth it to keep fighting with Shannon. “Do you think you’ll stop her?” Jenn asked.

“Should I take the videos out? Johnny is ready to talk. Well yes, I’ll stop her, Alexis replied ominously.

“Videos of what?” Jenn asked, to which Tamra quipped, “He has videos [Shannon] the night of her DUI.”

“It’s going to ruin her life,” Alexis added of the footage of the incident, which took place in September 2023.

She then told the cameras that “the videos are definitely horrible” and played a role in how she saw Shannon when she joined the group of friends.

“Now she’s pushed us to the point where she won’t stop lying…” Alexis began, and Tamra added, “She’s going to expose it.”

The idea of ​​exposing Shannon’s personal footage made Jenn uncomfortable, prompting her to advise against it.

“Alexis, why are we even going here?” Jenn said in her confessional. “What do these videos have to do with it? Why does anyone need to see them? Does anyone consider what this will do to Shannon, her family? In my opinion, that is wrong.”

Still, Alexis stood her ground and continued to elaborate on how bad the videos were allegedly.

“It’s 10 times worse than you can actually imagine,” she claimed. “I definitely said a lot of prayers for her.”

Shannon was arrested in the early morning hours of September 17, 2023 in Newport Beach after she crashed her car into a planter box attached to a house. The police recorded 0.24 alcohol in the blood (three times the legal limit).

She was cited for two misdemeanors and spent several hours in jail before being released on bond. The reality star would later be sentenced to three years of probation, with a mandatory order to complete 40 hours of community service and a nine-month alcohol program.

“It was surreal and it’s something I will never allow again. I will never make bad decisions like that again. I won’t,” she recently told PEOPLE. “…For me at my age to set such a bad example was just devastating. I made a terrible, terrible decision. I think about it every day and I’m so thankful I didn’t hurt anyone.”
