Emily Simpson Thinks Alexis Bellino Aimed to Embarrass Shannon Beador With Facelift Docs

Emily Simpson is talking to Shannon Beador about her feelings toward costar Alexis Bellino of Real Housewives of Orange County.

Ahead of the Thursday, August 8 episode, Simpson, 48, spoke exclusively with Us Weekly about how Bellino, 47, and Beador, 60, first met at Heather Dubrow’s Wishing Wall party.

It was then that Bellino allegedly brought receipts related to Beador’s $75,000 facelift. (Bellino is seeing Beador’s former partner John Janssen, who filed a lawsuit against Beador in March, claiming she took money from him for the treatment.)

Simpson said, “I think what was bothering me was that I never had a problem with Alexis being with John.” “After that, I really rode with Alexis to Heather’s party at the Balboa Debate Club, which was our first group adventure. I thought Alexis was very reasonable on the way there. “I don’t want to fight with Shannon,” she said. I don’t want to have a poor relationship with her.

Simpson went on, saying that at the time she felt Bellino’s response to the circumstance was “mature.” “Then [when] we are there, it’s like, she says one thing, but then she acts completely different,” Simpson said.

She will declare, “I want to be friends.” Subsequently, she will degrade her. “I just wanna get along with this woman,” she will say. However, she will speak about John in front of her all the time. And it just seems incomprehensible.

“I mean, there’s nothing else [you’re trying to do] except trying to humiliate her when you show up at a dinner and there are a bunch of people there and you have copies of receipts,” the woman continued.

The reality star also shared with Us how her perception of Beador altered after witnessing Bellino’s interactions with her.

Simpson remarked, “I feel like I saw a whole different Alexis.” She was always a girl’s girl to me. And really charming. It’s unfortunate to see this other side of her, when I thought her primary objective was to harm Shannon and give the impression that she didn’t care.

In July, Bellino returned to Bravo for the RHOC season 18 premiere. Bellino was married to her now-ex-husband Jim Bellino when fans first got to know her in season 4. The former couple divorced in 2018 after getting married in 2005.

Three children together include the 18-year-old son James and the 16-year-old twins Miles and Mackenna. (After season 8, Alexis departed the franchise as a member of the main cast.)

Janssen, sixty-two, on the other hand, has a lengthy romantic past with Beador. After she separated from her ex-husband David Beador in 2019, the couple went on intermittent dates until 2023. Three daughters are shared by the former spouses: Adeline and Stella, both 19 and Sophie, 22, are twins.

After their introduction by mutual acquaintances in December of last year, Alexis and Janssen ignited the first relationship rumors. For the first time, Alexis and Shannon filmed together for the newest season of the venerable Bravo show.

Shannon previously told Us, “There were other reasons, John aside, that I don’t want to pursue a friendship with [Alexis],” in reference to season 18. “There’s the video where she says something like, ‘You’re not going to win my man.'” I feel as though I’m not competing. Have fun!
