Alexis Bellino Says Shannon Beador’s Ex John Janssen Is a ‘New Friend’ in a ‘Similar Place’

Alexis Bellino might not currently be on Real Housewives of Orange County, but right now she’s giving Shannon Beador one hell of a storyline. This is good because, right now, most of Shan’s Season 18 content will revolve around her healing journey after being arrested for drunk driving.

Now it appears Shannon can add something to the list. RHOC alum Alexis is currently making googly eyes at Shannon’s ex John Janssen. And we already know Shannon isn’t fond of Alexis because her former husband enjoyed dragging her all over the courtroom for defamation.

It might be time for Lex to make an appearance because she’s doing the work. After a photo with John at The Quiet Woman started making waves, Alexis decided to go full tsunami. Page Six has the details.

Blame it on the happenstance

John is out on the Newport Beach streets trying to sully Slade Smiley’s Real Housewives hook-up reputation. After dousing Shannon with his toxicity, he may or may not have his eyes on the Bellino prize. Alexis is not doing a damn thing to shut it down.

“John Janssen and I are two people who met by happenstance,” Alexis explained. “We are discovering that we’re in similar places in our lives. As divorced parents both emerging from recent heartbreak because of relationships ending.” Oooooo, good one! It’s true, both are single. Alexis recently cut Andy Bohn loose after a 3-year relationship.

That said, Alexis is playing coy and clearly playing the game. She added rumors that she and John are banging would be “very inaccurate.” Right now the label seems to be “new acquaintances” and Alexis is looking “forward to hanging out with my new friend.” Hearing this will make Shannon “lose her mind.”

Don’t forget, Alexis and Shannon don’t know each other. They’ve been on RHOC at separate times. Obviously, Shannon is well aware of who Alexis is after being sued by Jim Bellino. In fact, before Shannon was arrested for her DUI, she and Lex had been in the same restaurant where patrons overheard Shan “bitching” about her.

“Other than one incident in which I witnessed her shouting obscenities at me from across a restaurant, immediately prior to her very unfortunate arrest, Shannon Beador and I have never worked together or interacted,” Alexis noted. Has Alexis learned the fine art of subtle shade since taking a hiatus from the show?

A source shared, “Shannon is absolutely devastated that John would spend time with Alexis. Knowing how much pain and hundreds of thousands of dollars the lawsuit her ex-husband filed caused her.” Shan also thinks John was using her to be “in the spotlight” but unfortunately for John, the spotlight basically showed he is “a total POS.”

Maybe we’ll see another alum come back next season.

Scheana Shay Reveals Where She Currently Stands With Stassi Schroeder

Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay hadn’t seen much of her former co-star Stassi Schroeder since Stassi was fired in 2020. And then there was the whole mess of Scheana and her now-husband Brock Davies being uninvited from Stassi’s Italian wedding. But lately, they’ve been running into each other at mutual friends’ events and bonding over mommy issues.

On the November 3 episode of Scheananigans with Scheana Shay, Scheana shared that she’s spent time recently with Stassi. They’ve seen each other while spending time with Scheana’s VPR co-stars Lala Kent and Katie Maloney. They’ve exchanged their views on motherhood and dealing with “mommy-shamers” on social media.

Even though the former SUR co-workers missed each other’s weddings, they both have two-year-old-girls. “We’ve seen each other a few times,” said Scheana, “and had really great conversations around motherhood,”

Scheana wants their girls to spend more time together

Scheana would like her daughter Summer to spend more time with Stassi’s daughter Hartford. The two girls enjoyed being together at Lala’s Five Years Sober celebration in October 2023.

“We should get the girls together more,” Scheana told Stassi. After all, the VPR ladies made a pact in 2020 that they would all get pregnant at the same time and be mommies together. The plan was that their children would all grow up friends when Scheana, Stassi, Lala and Brittany Cartwright conceived babies around the same time.

Scheana thinks she’s “a very good one-kid parent”

On the October 27 episode of her podcast, the Good as Gold singer talked about Lala’s recent sobriety celebration at Chili’s. As she was eating her meal, Summer, Hartford and Lala’s daughter Ocean all took notice of her mac and cheese.

“Hartford was like, ‘Oh, mac and cheese?’” laughed Scheana. “So Hartford comes and pushes Ocean out of the way and crawls on top of me. And Stassi goes, ‘No, no, that’s Summer’s mommy.’”

But Scheana assured her, “‘No, it’s fine.’ And so I’m, like, feeding Summer. I’ve got Hartford right here. Ocean’s right here. And they are all shoveling down the mac and cheese,” said Shay.

But while she enjoyed her time with Hartford and Ocean, she’s content to be the mom of an only child. “It was so cute for [about] five minutes,” she admitted. “But then I was like, ‘I know that am a very good one-kid parent.'”

Vanderpump Rules returns for Season 11 to Bravo in January 2024.

Reasons Why Meri Brown Might Not Be Trustworthy

TLC/YouTube

Meri Brown has been hanging on by the skin of her teeth for some time. It has become painfully obvious that Kody Brown hasn’t been in love with her for a while now, yet Meri keeps holding out hope that they will reconcile. When the Brown family first premiered on Sister Wives, Meri tried her best to come across as the perfect wife, but fans quickly could see behind her facade and realize she isn’t exactly the greatest person to be around. There are several reasons why viewers think Meri Brown might not be trustworthy,

Pyramid Scheme Business

It would be extremely hard to trust somebody who made a living earning their keep by pushing a pyramid scheme. Meri currently works for LuLaRoe. However, the clothing company now receives a lot of criticism after the release of the LuLaRich docuseries. The docuseries cast LuLaRoe in a negative light and showed off its bad internal practices. LuLaRoe had to shell out $4.8 million in a pyramid scheme lawsuit, a strong indicator of shady business. 

Just like the Browns’ lifestyle, LuLaRoe has been called cult-like, and the company was often blasted for falsely pushing a girl-boss lifestyle. As fans saw in a recent episode, Meri is still very much involved with the company and has since moved her operations to Utah. If a woman can actively push this negative agenda, it only goes to prove that Meri is like a used car salesman. 

Meri Cheated On Kody

We don’t exactly blame Meri for stepping out on her marriage. She was married to a selfish ogre, after all. But the fact is, she did break a special covenant. Meri felt so far removed from her plural family that she chose to find attention elsewhere in the virtual arms of what turned out to be a catfish.

Meri shared sexy pictures of herself in a bathtub with a banana and even had flirty phone conversations. She let the affair go on for months and only revealed the truth to the family when she was blackmailed. Not exactly Mother Teresa over here. 

Meri’s Sketchy Social Media Posts

For over a year, Meri has been sharing some questionable social media posts that have shown her trying to control the narrative. A few posts have shown her holding a book, claiming there was “more to the story.”

However, no new information has surfaced. Meri isn’t the heroine of her own story like she tries to portray but rather a puppet to Kody. 

Meri and Robyn May Not Be Close After All

For multiple seasons, Meri and Robyn Brown have presented a united front that might be a facade once again. In a Sister Wives confessional, Meri recently explained that neither Robyn nor Kody had invited her over for Easter Sunday. This seems to contradict what the two women portrayed in the series. Robyn has spent hours crying over the fact that she wants Meri around, yet she didn’t invite her to a holy celebration. Something doesn’t add up. 

Robyn is the queen of puppeteering, and it would make sense why Meri would try to buddy up with the mother of five; Meri thought that this would bring her closer to Kody. However, this plan backfired since the father of 18 wants nothing to do with his first wife and is actively trying to push her away. 

Meri Couldn’t Make a Friendship Work With Janelle or Christine

Living 25 years of your life with other women who are wives to your husband can’t be easy. But it seems like Meri often enjoyed playing the victim and keeping to herself instead of trying to make friends with her Sister Wives stars. Both Janelle Brown and Christine Brown seem like easy ladies to get along with. Now, I am not naive enough to believe that these women were perfectly nice all the time. I mean, they did share the same husband; there was bound to be an incident or two. 

It says a lot that both Janelle and Christine have stated that they want nothing to do with Meri since leaving the polygamist family. Fans have heard interesting tales of Meri yelling at the children and handing out severe punishments when they were younger, and it feels like there are still unresolved issues. Meri just doesn’t come across as someone I would want to tell my secrets to because there is a major possibility she would weaponize my own words against me.

DWTS Pro Rylee Arnold Trolled After Season 32 Debut

Photo by: Andrew Eccles/ABC via Getty Images

As Dancing with the Stars’ newest professional dancer, Rylee Arnold should be very proud of her first season on the show. Even though she’s just 18, she coached her partner Harry Jowsey two-thirds of the way through the competition, getting enough votes along the way to keep them dancing. But their dancing days came to an end on Taylor Swift night, as the pair was finally eliminated.

Over the past couple of weeks, Rylee received some really hateful comments on social media. Former DWTS pro Lindsay Arnold’s younger sister was trolled for her choreography. At one point, Rylee was accused of copying a section of Lindsay’s choreography from Season 28. Some online posters even called for her termination from the show.

In addition, Harry just wasn’t showing the improvement he should have after so many weeks. Guest judge Billy Porter said he danced with all the grace of a “tree trunk.” Some blamed Harry’s lack of improvement on Rylee’s lack of teaching and choreography skills. But many of the comments posted on her social media were just unnecessarily mean and hurtful, especially considering this is her first season.

Critical comments on social media

As the season progressed, more people started to criticize Rylee and Harry. Beginning with a few negative comments on Reddit, the conversation quickly accelerated into a feeding frenzy of bashing on TikTok and Instagram.

After Whitney Houston night on November 14, Rylee shared an Instagram post encouraging viewers to vote for her and Harry. The comments section quickly turned toxic.

“Can they eliminate pros for good?” asked one person.

“You don’t deserve to be there and you know it,” a third person chimed in.

“Why is Rylee a pro? She’s not that good compared to the other pros,” someone else wrote.

At least all the comments weren’t hateful. One person kindly wrote, “Use these haters as fuel & motivation!!! It breaks my heart how people really have nothing better to do than to tear down others.”

Finally, Harry shared a TikTok video that he and Rylee were having a rough time. “I just want to say, today has been extremely difficult,” he said. “Poor Rylee is really upset, I’m really upset.”

“If you don’t have anything nice to say, please don’t say it,” he continued. “This is Rylee’s first season. I’ve never danced before. We’re learning, we’re figuring it out, that’s the point of this show. It’s to have someone who’s never danced before, put ’em on the world stage, and tell them to try and figure it out.”

Sadly, people think they can say whatever they want to on social media since they’re anonymous. They forget (or don’t care) that the people they’re attacking have feelings.

Rylee is only 18 years old, and this is probably her first full-time job. But she is not an amateur. She has been dancing “since she could walk” and was a junior pro on Dancing with the Stars: Juniors in 2018 when she was only 13. Admittedly, Harry is a terrible dancer. But Rylee did her best to teach him. Lighten up, people. Give the girl a chance.

Dancing with the Stars continues Tuesdays on ABC.
