Alexis Bellino fired from ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’: ‘It did not come as a shock’

   

Alexis Bellino announced Friday that she was fired from “The Real Housewives of Orange County.”

“I was not asked back next season,” the reality star said on the “Going Rogue” podcast.

Bellino, 47, was a full-time “Housewife” from Seasons 5 to 8 and returned to the Bravo reality show earlier this year as a “friend of the ‘Housewives'” for Season 18.

After rejoining the series, she feuded nonstop with co-star Shannon Beador over legal and relationship drama.

Beador, 60, was once tangled up in a lawsuit filed by Bellino’s ex-husband Jim Bellino, and Alexis has since gotten engaged to the Real for Real CEO’s ex-boyfriend John Janssen.

As a result, Alexis admitted in Friday’s podcast episode that she did not expect to be asked back to “RHOC.”

“I can’t say it came as a shock. It did not come as a shock,” she said of her “hard conversation” with the network.

While Alexis acknowledged “nobody wants the rejection,” she pointed out that this is not the first time she has been cut from the show.

“It already happened to me. It happened to me in Season 8. I’ve been there, done that!” she quipped.
