Shannon Beador and Alexis Bellino face off in the season 18 Real Housewives of Orange County reunion — and Us Weekly has an explosive exclusive sneak peek.
“How many times did practice in front of the mirror in Johnny J [style], ‘There’s the door, Shannon Beador’ when there was no door,” Shannon, 60, asks Alexis, 47, in Us’ preview for part 2 of the season 18 reunion, which airs on Thursday, November 14.
Shannon trolls Alexis for her now-infamous line, saying, “You were so proud of that.” Shannon gives Alexis a round of applause while the rest of the cast laughs from the couch. “Good job, girl,” she quips.
During the season 18 premiere, Alexis and Shannon got into a confrontation in part over Alexis’ relationship with Shannon’s ex John Janssen. (Shannon and John, 64, split in November 2022. He was linked to Alexis in late 2023 and the pair got engaged in August.)

After Alexis got frustrated with Shannon on the show, she said, “If you don’t like it, there’s the door, Shannon Beador” while pointing to her left. The women were standing outside, so there was no door.
Shannon and Alexis continued to fight throughout the season, which was only made worse by Shannon’s lawsuit with John over her allegedly refusing to pay back John $75,000 he previously paid for her facelift.
Shannon initially agreed to pay him half the amount but changed her mind when she learned that John had damning footage from her September 2023 DUI arrest. Shannon later agreed to pay $70,000 but claimed John refused to sign a non-disparagement clause in return.
Alexis Bellino is sharing her perspective on fiancé John Janssen‘s lawsuit against Shannon Beador. On the Thursday, September 12, episode of Real Housewives of Orange County, Beador, 60, initially said she would give Janssen, 62, half of the $75,000 she allegedly borrowed for a facelift. However, she changed her mind after finding out that he […]
The legal drama will be front and center during Thursday’s reunion episode, with Alexis choosing to defend her fiancé for his part in the lawsuit.
During Us’ preview of the episode, Shannon claims that Alexis brought up the DUI arrest videos to their group, which is why she felt like John was trying to extort her for more money. Alexis, however, denies she started anything.
“There are a lot of lies that have been spoken about John that are not true and they’re going to be cleared up. If you want the videos, I’ll bring it all,” Alexis tells Tamra Judge and Katie Ginella in an “unseen video” clip shown to the Housewives during the reunion. “So, bitch better just sit back.”
Emily Simpson is sharing her thoughts about Real Housewives of Orange County costar Alexis Bellino‘s intentions with Shannon Beador. While speaking exclusively with Us Weekly ahead of the Thursday, August 8, episode, Simpson, 48, recalled Bellino, 47, and Beador, 60, coming face to face for the first time at Heather Dubrow‘s Wishing Wall party, where […]
Alexis claims at the reunion that she “brought it up then because I was in a weak moment.” She confesses, “It was not to be brought up.” She further alleges, “John has never brought it up. So, there is no extortion.”
Katie, however, notes under her breath, “But it was brought up on camera.”
Alexis insists that the mention of the videos was initially because of Shannon herself, which is why John hasn’t accepted Shannon’s $70,000 offer or signed a mutual non-disparage agreement.
Shannon Beador doesn’t want anything to do with Alexis Bellino or John Janssen. “There were other reasons, John, aside, that I don’t want to pursue a friendship with [Alexis],” Beador, 60, exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month while discussing the new season of Real Housewives of Orange County. “There’s the clip of her going, […]
“Your attorney is the one who brought it up. John’s attorney said, ‘You’re the one that brought it up, we did not,’” Alexis tells Shannon. “You’ve gotta go back to your emails and check the truth. Because you have a really strange relationship with the truth.”
Emily Simpson’s ears perk up when she hears that last allegation, noting, “That’s exactly what John said” about Shannon. “Shannon has an interesting relationship with the truth,” John claimed in a season 18 confessional.
Shannon was aware of John’s past remarks and Alexis’ loyalty to him. “Stop being John’s mouthpiece,” Shannon yells at Alexis from across the stage. “That’s exactly what John said!”
