Vicki Gunvalson reignites Alexis Bellino feud, blasts her ‘RHOC’ return amid John Janssen romance
Vicki Gunvalson is going after Alexis Bellino — again.
Seven months after Gunvalson slammed her former co-star’s “gross” romance with Shannon Beador’s ex John Janssen, she reacted to Bellino’s “Real Housewives of Orange County” return.
The “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” star, 62, commented on an Instagram post asking, “Do you like having Alexis back on #RHOC?”
Gunvalson simply replied, “No!”
Bellino, 47, was initially on the Bravo show from 2009 to 2013, with news breaking in January that she would come back as a cast member for Season 18 as a friend.
She admitted to being “nervous” about returning to reality TV in an interview with E! News last week.

“I contemplated not even going back because I I knew what I was throwing myself into,” she explained. “But also I thought to myself, ‘Why am I not going to do something I want to do just because I’m dating somebody else’s ex-boyfriend?'”
Bellino began publicly dating Janssen, 61, in December 2023, one year after his breakup from Beador, 60, made headlines.
Gunvalson, who starred on “RHOC” during Seasons 1 through 14, slammed the relationship in an Instagram comment at the time.
“Ridiculous and thirsty on both of them,” she wrote before posting a link on her Story to a Celebuzz article about how “disgusted” she felt.
Bellino clapped back at the time, writing that it was “very disappointing to see this from someone I considered a friend.”
As for Beador, who dated Janssen for nearly four years, she confessed to being “confused” and “hurt.”
More recently, she downplayed Bellino’s confession that she and Janssen are looking at engagement rings months after he bought her a $16,000 promise ring.
“John moves fast,” Beador told “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” viewers earlier this month. “He did with me too. It’s just his M.O.”
Fellow guest Kate Upton quipped, “What even is a promise ring as an adult?”
