RHOC’s Alexis Bellino Shows Off Promise Ring From John Janssen
For her part Shannon, who dated John forĀ 3 years before theirĀ Nov. 2022 split, spoke out about her ex’s new romance shortly afterĀ the relationship was made public.
“I’m not going to lie, I’ve been hurt,” the 59-year-old exclusively told E! News on Dec. 6. “I’ve been hurt a lot in the last couple of weeks because, No. 1, John said that he didn’t want to be in the public eye, and he’s thrust himself more into the public eye at this point. So, I’m quite confused about that.”
Plus, her own history with Alexis goes beyond having both been featured on the Bravo series: in 2018 Alexis’ ex-husband Jim Bellino sued Shannon and costar Tamra Judge for defamation, several years after Alexis left the series following season eight.
“John is very well aware of a lawsuit that I was involved in with Jim Bellino, and Alexis was involved in that lawsuit,” theĀ mother of three explained. “I was financially and emotionally devastated for years. And I won. But it devastated me financially. And I’m a single mom. John’s aware of that.”
She added, “I don’t know how to process it. How many Orange County Housewives have there been? Is that your dating pool?”
