Exclusive ‘RHOC’ Clip: Tamra Judge Tells Alexis Bellino to ‘Stop Sleeping’ With Shannon Beador’s Ex If She Wants to ‘Move Forward’

Following the heated confrontation between Shannon Beador and Alexis Bellino The Real Housewives of Orange County In the Season 18 premiere, it seemed unlikely that either woman would want to move forward on a positive note. However, Bellino shockingly expresses her desire to “kill any animosity” with Beador in an exclusive clip from this week’s episode, which was obtained by DECIDER.

The clip picks up where we left off last week — at Heather Dubrow’s “new year, new me” party, where Gina Kirschenheiter and newcomer Katie Ginella are caught quietly making fun of the small portions of food served by the chef at the event.

“I don’t understand why it’s not all bread. It’s like a spoon full of food. It’s so small,” Kirschenheiter complains, while Ginella adds: “I know, I’m so hungry. I guess I’m going to starve to death here. In 2024, we’re on a diet.”

Dubrow then introduces the Question Booth, which will not provide money to solve Jennifer Pedranti’s financial problems, but instead will give each lady a question to answer.

The first to succumb? Bellino, who must reveal his “friendship goal” for 2024.

“I would say for Shannon Beador and I, it’s about putting an end to all the animosity and being able to move forward,” she says in a surprising twist. “That’s my goal of friendship.”

Like a classy woman, Beador politely applauds and thanks Bellino, who explains her sudden change of heart in her denomination. “I just want to be friendly with this group of women. I’m going to act like a Christian. I’m going to spread love,” she says.

However, Tamra Judge makes things uncomfortable when she jokes that Bellino will have to “stop sleeping” with Beador’s ex-boyfriend John Janssen if she really wants to clean up, prompting a laugh from the returning reality star and an awkward silence among the rest of the group.

While Beador remains cordial for now, she says in her confession that she has no interest in befriending Bellino — who not only dates her ex, but was also married to the man who sued Beador and Judge for defamation.

“Alexis, I don’t know if acting is your strong point,” she says in her confession. “Because you can’t talk to me like you’ve been doing so far at this event and then all of a sudden snap your fingers and say you want to be my friend. It doesn’t work. I’m never going to be your friend.”

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Thursday nights at 9/8c on Bravo. New episodes are available the next day on Peacock.
