Tamra says Alexis Bellino feels defeated after RHOC return
Alexis Bellino He has support from her The Real Housewives of Orange County Co-star Tamra Judge. It was somewhat of a surprise since the two had a history of not getting along. But the duo made up at BravoCon. The dynamic is completely different this time around as Alexis and Tamra film together.
In support of Alexis, Tamra denounced the backlash against her. In a recent interview, the RHOC veteran made sympathetic comments about her co-star.
Tamra Judge thinks Alexis Bellino is “going too hard” for John
Tamra told Us Weekly about her take on Alexis’ performance this season.
“Alexis and I reconciled at BravoCon. I had no idea at the time that she was in talks to return. She was not dating John at the time. They met up later,” Tamra said of what she learned about the early conversations with Bravo.
She continued: “Alexis was calling me, and that was months later after she told me that she was in negotiations. “You know, I don’t know if the timing is right because I’m dating John now,” she said. And I just don’t want to kick Shannon when she’s down. That was her mentality.”
Tamra admitted that Alexis’ actions this season may be confusing for some viewers. “Then you watch the show and say, ‘Wait, this is all she said she didn’t want to do,’” she said.
The RHOC veteran thinks Alexis is “going too hard for John.” Both parties are focusing on how to “clear his name.”
“Shannon would drink alcohol and then call all of us and say horrible things about him that weren’t necessarily true,” Tamra explained.
However, John and Alexis’ pursuit of validation “certainly backfires.” So much so that Tamra wonders if her co-star will return next season.
“I hope so,” Tamra said when asked if she wanted to see Alexis again. “I mean I would love to see her in a full-time role where we can see her kids and her life. Maybe her wedding next year. I really hope so. But I think right now she feels very defeated. She’s very upset. She’s very hurt. And I don’t know if that’s what she’s thinking now.”
