Shannon Storms Beador does not waste time making her feelings known when Alexis Bellino resurfaces on The Real Housewives of Orange County.
In a new midseason teaser for season 20, Shannon spots Alexis at a party with her husband, John Janssen, Shannon’s ex, and later delivers a blunt message.
“Keep my name out of your mouth, Alexis,” Shannon says.
Alexis walks away without responding but another clip shows her getting emotional with friends.
“This is not fair,” she says through tears.
Alexis has evidently returned to RHOC in a guest role after she previously said she was “not asked back” for season 19.
Her history with Shannon has remained complicated because of John. Shannon and John split in 2022 after three years together. John began dating Alexis the following year, and the pair went public in December 2023.
They later got engaged in August 2024 and married in October 2025.
Alexis previously admitted that learning she would not return for season 19 was difficult.
“It was a little bit of a relief,” she said at the time. “I mean nobody wants the rejection.”
Now, her return to the show means that she has to face Shannon once again.
The teaser also features Tamra Judge, Heather Dubrow, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti, Vicki Gunvalson and newcomer Carmella Garcia.
