RHOC’s Alexis Bellino Confesses Her Mistake in Booting Katie and Jenn: ‘I Behaved Like a 16-Year-Old Instead of 47’

It turns out that fans aren’t the only ones unimpressed by Alexis Bellino’s behavior on Season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC). The returning Housewife admits that she acted immaturely when she kicked out co-stars Katie Ginella and Jennifer Pedranti from her home.

In last week’s episode, Alexis’s dramatic return quickly went downhill after receiving a text from Shannon Beador, informing her that she was not invited to the season 18 cast trip to London. Frustrated by Shannon’s message, Alexis read the text aloud to Katie and Jenn, and in a fit of irritation, ended up showing them both the door.

Reflecting on that incident, Alexis acknowledges that she “acted like a 16-year-old rather than a 47-year-old.”

During an interview with Bravo TV, RHOC producers replayed the moment where Alexis read Shannon’s text to Katie and Jenn. The message from Shannon read:

“Hello Alexis. It’s Shannon Beador. I am hosting a trip to Europe with my friends and just wanted to make it clear that you are not invited. That should be quite understandable, given the circumstances. Thank you for the flowers, but I am not interested in an olive branch.”

Following the reading, Alexis walked to her front door and signaled for Katie and Jenn to leave.

“She opened the door and said, ‘It’s time to go.’ I looked at Jenn and said, ‘I think that’s for us.’ I’ve never been kicked out of anywhere before,” Katie recalled.

Now, Alexis recognizes how poorly the situation reflects on her. “It was one of those moments where I acted 16 instead of 47,” she admitted, adding that she felt Shannon was trying to push her out of the group. This perceived slight led to her “knee-jerk reaction” toward Katie and Jenn.

She concluded, self-reflectively: “This was not such a good moment for Alexis.”

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo every Thursday at 9 p.m. ET.
