Alexis Bellino has opened up on the moments that she wished were never aired on TV during her time on The Real Housewives of Orange County.
‘Real Housewives of Orange County’: Alexis Bellino Reveals The Moments She Wished Never Aired
Alexis, for her part, starred on the show for three seasons ever since she decided to join the franchise in 2009. While she did become popular with the fans, she was remembered for all the wrong reasons as she shortly got divorced from her ex-husband Jim Bellino after the show.
And it seems the personal problems were some of the things she wished she could have avoided coming out on air. During an interview with Us Weekly, Alexis admitted how she hoped that her anxiety issues were never broadcast.
She said: “The [time] where I admitted that I had popped a Xanax… I took a quarter [because] I was having anxiety attacks in the middle of the night…but you know, that doesn’t need to be aired that I popped that.” And this anxiety all played out during her interactions with another housewife Tamra Judge. The pair always had a fractured relationship on the show.
Alexis had accused Tamra of playing up to the cameras in order to make money. This had a negative impact as Alexis’ ex Jim, who sued Tamra on the grounds that she had made defamatory remarks about him. As the case went to court, the relationship between Tamra and the Bellino’s was over. Looking back, it was there for all to see.
Alexis admitted how she often tried to avoid Tamra on the show, only for the producers to step in and get them together. She added: “We were doing that dinner in [Tamra’s] gym and producers had begged me to go…They said, ‘Well, what if we promise you that she can’t throw you out?’ And I said, ‘OK.And, sure enough, she throws me out.”
The duo may no longer be friends, but they certainly gave fans some major entertainment over the years. If there is a chance that either of them were to return to the show, then it is more likely to be Tamra given her prior comments. As for Alexis, her time is over.
