Alexis Bellino announces she is exiting RHOC
On December 20, 2024, Alexis Bellino announced her exit from RHOC.
On the “Going Rogue” podcast, the reality TV personality shared that she didn’t receive another invitation to appear on the show for its 19th season. Being 47 years old, she had accepted that she wouldn’t be asked back, so it didn’t surprise her when it didn’t happen. She also mentioned:
The discussion proved to be quite challenging. I suppose I hadn’t fully anticipated it [since] I assumed the contracts wouldn’t surface so soon — in other words, I believed we had more time for preparation.
As a devoted fan, let me share that Bellino herself confided that her decision to leave the show brought her a sense of relief, acknowledging that nobody welcomes rejection. However, she had already experienced this during Season 8. Moreover, she maintains friendly relationships with her fellow cast members Jennifer Pedranti and Katie Ginella. Interestingly, Bellino is making an effort to mend fences with Tamra Judge and Heather Paige Dubrow.
In Season 18, the three of them were upset due to their argument with Shannon Storms Beador. For those who may not know, Bellino had trouble getting along with Beador during her return as a friend in Season 18. This tension began when Bellino’s ex-husband filed a defamation lawsuit against Beador. Additionally, Bellino’s relationship with John Janssen, one of Beador’s former partners, further fueled the conflict. (as reported by People)
In her podcast discussion, Bellino elaborated on her ongoing conflict with Shannon Storms Beador and its impact on her return. She expressed, “Following that scene, I was unsure of my place. I was hoping there might be a solution for everyone to rejoin, but unfortunately, events unfolded as they did.” Additionally, Bellino pointed out that she wasn’t asked to return because she wasn’t as well-liked by the audience compared to Beador.
Before Season 18, Alexis Bellino was a main cast member of RHOC from Seasons 5-8.
