Turns out these two have more than Johnny J's third leg in common!
This season of The Real Housewives of Orange County has revolved around Shannon Beador's feud with her ex-boyfriend John Janseen's new girlfriend Alexis Bellino. Jesus Jugs was brought back to the show for season 18 and the two OC ladies were immediately at odds given their dramatic situation.
In the premiere, Shannon confronted Alexis not about dating John but over her alleged involvement in her lawsuit with Lexi's ex-husband Jim Bellino. Yes, this love triangle gets even more confusing. Not only have these women both dated OC's modern-day Slade Smiley but Alexis' ex also sued both Shannon and Tamra Judge for comments they made about his trampoline business. You read that right.
Shannon claimed her anger towards Alexis comes from a "cyst and deceased" letter Jesus Jugs sent which in her mind kick-started the lawsuit. Alexis, of course, denied ever sending Shannon such a letter. Well, while I was digging through the Good Tea with Sam archives I didn't see anything about this letter, however, I did see that Shannon tried to drag Alexis into the lawsuit.
According to the article published on February 18, 2020 court documents claimed Shannon and her lawyers wanted to depose Alexis as they believed she had "unique knowledge" about Jim's financial information and assets. For context, Jim's defamation case against Shannon had been dismissed and the judge ruled for him to pay her attorney fees of $138,000, however, at this time he had not and Shannon was still in court trying to chase up the money he owed her.
DUI Beador requested Jim hand over his financial statements, bank records and information on his property and assets to the court. She also slapped a lien against his $4 million mansion, which allowed her to collect the $138k if the property were sold. The enema enthusiast also attempted to depose Alexis, however, there's no evidence or articles online to suggest this ended up happening.
Interestingly enough, the same court documents Shannon filed stated Alexis was paid $10K a month in spousal support by her ex-husband which lawyers believed meant she had "key information" about his financial state.
If Alexis still receives support from Jim I'm not sure why she's rushing down the aisle with Johnny J as her monthly stipend would end when she marries someone else. Why fuck up your $10K a month income for a guy who allegedly doesn't work - unless she no longer receives payments from Jim in which case she'd be in the market for a new financial provider.
Although this doesn't clear up whether or not Alexis started the lawsuit by sending Shannon a legal letter it does show during this lengthy court battle, there was some sort of legal correspondence happening between the two women.
