RHOC Preview: Cast Arrives in London Without Alexis Bellino

Alexis Bellino made a last-ditch effort to secure an invite to the Season 18 cast trip, but her attempt to make amends with Shannon Beador fell flat.

In a preview for Episode 14, the women arrive in London, with everyone present except for Alexis, the returning Real Housewives of Orange County star. Shannon, meanwhile, relishes the Alexis-free getaway, leaving all the drama and tension back in the OC.

Before she announced the trip to the group, Shannon, at age 60, learned that Alexis’s fiancé, John Janssen, had filed a lawsuit seeking to recover a $75,000 loan he claimed was still due. This revelation effectively ended any chance of reconciliation between Shannon and Alexis. Nevertheless, Alexis, 47, still tried to mend fences.

She extended an olive branch along with flowers for Shannon’s birthday, but Shannon saw through the gesture. She wasted no time responding, sending a direct message to Alexis, stating clearly that she was not invited on the trip.

The RHOC Cast Arrives in London Without Alexis Bellino in Episode 14 Preview

A sneak peek of the upcoming episode shows the cast settling into their London hotel, preparing for a day out in the rain. However, things take an awkward turn when the women begin to look for a potential romantic connection for single Shannon.

“Shannon needs to get laid,” Tamra blurts out, even going so far as to ask the hotel concierge if he’s single. When he responds negatively, Tamra doubles down, joking, “Can you hire somebody?”

Shannon, unamused by the banter, comments on how Tamra’s behavior has made the concierge uncomfortable. “He’s bright red now because you’re so obnoxious,” she remarks as the group embarks on their adventure, humorously titled, “Hashtag—laid in London.”

The playful teasing doesn’t stop there, as Emily Simpson chimes in during her confessional. “Knowing Shannon Beador, if she got laid in London, it would be a guy who’s married, whose then-wife comes after Shannon and sues her, but we’ll worry about those lawyer fees later,” Emily jokes with a laugh.
