Shannon Beador has finally issued a statement on her longtime opp, Alexis Bellino’s exit from Real Housewives of Orange County.
Alexis is currently engaged to Shannon’s ex-boyfriend, John Janssen, and made it her entire storyline during her return to the Bravo show, which angered viewers.
Shannon was also dealing with the fallout of her DUI arrest and a lawsuit from her bitter ex, which appeared to be an attempt to humiliate her as much as possible.
In a statement to US Weekly, Shannon shared that she was not responsible for Alexis’ firing.
“I have zero power with the network or production or anyone, and I would never want to interfere with someone’s livelihood,” she said.
Shannon says she’s over the drama.
“I spent a lot of time over the holidays reflecting on where I had been the year before,” she told the outlet. “I was at a place where I [had] just seen [John give Alexis] a promise ring on social media, and I didn’t know who was going to be coming back to the show. I didn’t know if I had a single friend on the show.”
