My psychic didn't know why I was calling. 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.479 But that's what came through. And so I called John 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.719 right away and just said I'm going back. And you know, 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.320 he didn't want me to go back on the show obviously, 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.200 you know, He's like, and I didn't want to either. 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.760 I wanted to protect what we had because it is 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.520 a little bit toxic and it can be very you know, 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.880 taxing on a relationship, and we were so new and 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.000 but he was very so once I told him I'm 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:04.480 going back, he was very supportive. 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.680 So this is this is like breaking news I think 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.800 for the audience, because it is breaking news for me. 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:16.160 You were approached to come back to the Real Housewives 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.520 of Orange County way before you met John. 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.680 Talks were happening already, yes, and I was going to 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:24.960 be single Alexis at that point, you know, which would 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:26.839 have been really interesting for the viewers to see also 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.000 because it's a complete one eighty from you know, the 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.440 doting wife and mom of three that was on you know, 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.359 a decade ago. But yeah, yeah, we were already in 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:40.359 the talks and then unfortunately, I say unfortunately because it 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.160 obviously has made this season very difficult for John and I. 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.520 But then John and I met, But it's actually. 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.800 Fortunately we met because we found each other in this process. 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.599 But yeah, that's what's going to be interesting for viewers 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:52.120 to see. 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.279 Now, how did you let John meet? Because listen, I'm 0:05:55.279 --> 0:06:00.679 a straight shooter, pow pow. I assumed you now because 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:04.039 I said on my podcast episode, I said, look, I 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.840 don't care if this was orchestrated or not. 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:08.240 I'm here for all of it. 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.240 So I think a lot of people, and I am 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:18.920 people thought like, Okay, a Lex's girl, you cosa deently 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.240 met John, you two are dating, and now you're back 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:21.720 on the show. 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.720 So now that we know. 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.400 That's not true, how did you meet John in the 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:26.960 first place? 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:27.800 Like what was that? 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:28.520 Like? 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.680 I mean, and to be honest, I can see why 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:34.560 viewers and everyone around the nation thinks that it was 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:36.600 a setup or that we did this to get back 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:38.400 on the show. Where what I can understand that it's 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.680 very It would make sense to me too if I 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.880 was a viewer watching my life unfold right now. However, 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.320 it was truly and I've said this story before, so 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.360 I hope. I don't know if anyone else has heard 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.800 this out in the media yet, But Johnny and I 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.839 I was an quiet woman, which of course you can't 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.240 write this script, can you, like this is crazy? But 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.440 I was an quiet woman because I have going there 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.479 for decades. I always said, Shannon doesn't own aquiet woman, 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:04.480 nobody else does. 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:04.960 I was there. 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:06.520 You know, I'm friends with the owner. I'm friends with 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.200 Julius too. I've got everyone's cell phones too, so it's 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.640 like okay. But anyway, I was leaving, we just paid 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.200 the bill. I was with two of my gay friends 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.080 and we were leaving, and then john and his friend 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.080 sat down in a booth right next to us. Coincidentally, 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:21.679 it was not even you know, it was just happened 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:23.280 to be the booth that they were getting sad in. 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:25.200 And so then his one. 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.160 Of his friends I know from philanthropy work and just 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.400 out in Orange County, and she comes over and sits 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.280 down with me and says, oh my gosh, it's so 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:32.840 good to see you. 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.680 By the way, you should talk to him.

Like my mom died August first, 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.120 I broke up with my fiance August fourth. 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:39.640 So I lost everything all at one time. 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:43.520 And I, you know, before that ten years ago, six 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.560 years ago, I my marriage broke up, and so then 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:47.760 I lost my kids part of the time. 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:49.760 Then they moved in with me full time. Then my 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.120 mom got sick and we had that. 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.520 Whole, you know, three years of me being a caretaker 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:57.560 and watching that decline, which was just horrific. So I think, 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:02.000 I think, and I say this, and you know, I 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:03.240 don't give two fucks anymore. 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:03.800 I just don't. 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.800 There's just so much that I lost that I feel 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:12.480 like it's made me become well much stronger, obviously, because 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.160 what does it break you makes you stronger, right, So 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:16.959 I think that is a lot of it. And then 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:18.640 just watching my kids grow up and now I have 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.280 three teenagers and they're going to go to college. There's 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.800 just a lot of life growth that the true growth 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.079 that happened over that, you know, ten years that the 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.600 viewers haven't seen me. I am still the same person. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:32.600 I know I come in very hard, but I also 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.600 was still grieving. I mean, that's something I want the 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.760 viewers to understand, and I think they'll see it as 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:37.480 the season unfold. 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.600 There's a lot of episodes, but I. 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.640 Break down a lot about my mom and because I'm 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.400 still I am still physically in the grief stages. It 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.120 three months is three months after my mom passes when 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:51.920 we started filming, so I didn't have the time to go, Okay, 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.280 I'm all better at healed. I'm still hurting from it, 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.400 you know. But so I think that's a lot of 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:00.120 why you see such a different Alexis this season. And 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:02.840 it's not me trying to prove any points. It's just 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:04.560 I'm not going to take any bullshit and I'm not 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.760 gonna I'm not going to sit there in sugarcoat things. 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:10.000 And I'm also not going to let people, one person 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:14.480 in particular whose names shall not be mentioned, lie anymore 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:15.560 and get away with it. 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:17.240 I'm just not It's not going to happen. 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:23.280 Shannon, Listen, I could mention her day. 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:30.280 You don't have to But the thing is this, don't apologize, baby, because. 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:35.240 You are everything that this season needed. Do you know 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:35.720 what I mean? 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:39.280 Because I'm such a big believer in following the reality, 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.040 and the reality is you are in this situation, and 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.960 the reality is you are on a show with your 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.040 current boyfriend's ex girlfriend. 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:48.440 Right. 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.160 And it's not easy for me either. And that's another thing. 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.200 It's like, everyone's, oh, poor Shannon, Well what about me? 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.280 She dated him before me. I think it's easy for 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:56.880 me to try to. 0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:00.400 Film and go be around that, you know, my X 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:03.720 my boyfriend's ex.

A lot of people have said 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.200 that she is the Lulu, which is what the kids 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:55.280 called delusional child.

This is one of the most misconceptions, 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:12.440 most aggravating rumors out there about him. First of all, 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.760 John offered to pay me the full salary that Bravo 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:17.280 was going to pay me not to do the show. 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.680 So if he's mister you know, doesn't have money and 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:22.760 she pays for everything, he's not going to do that. 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:27.280 Number one. Number two, it's a lie. It's a lie. 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.480 And she says he love bombed her, He did all this, 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.160 he did that. How does he love bomb you if 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.920 he's broken, doesn't give you anything and you're paying for everything. Huh, 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:34.840 how does that make it like? 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:37.080 Nothing she says, makes sense? 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.360 And nothing, she says, she has no credibility anymore because 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:44.720 it's going to keep getting profusely shown throughout the season. 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:49.960 She has her words don't have any merit. So you 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:51.200 can ask him any of the other questions. 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:55.680 Yeah, no, so, John, John, Allegedly, you know Shanna has 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:59.800 told Heather and Emily and the twenty million people who 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:03.240 watch the show that pretty much you were using her. 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.359 You love the camera, You are a camera horre. 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.560 You love this fame that has been given to you 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:13.720 courtesy of Shannon saying yes to this mess. So what 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:15.439 do you have to say to yourself because a lot 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:20.120 of people do think that you left Shannon and then 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:24.120 your fame was doingling and then all of a sudden. 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:26.000 That's what the girls are saying. 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:29.199 John, I'm here to read the comment and to report 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:29.600 the news. 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:30.680 Honey, I'm a journalist. 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:32.959 The vast majority of people out there do not know 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.600 is that I ended up making the decisions saying I'm 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.320 not going to film. Now, at the time I'm with Shannon. 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.840 I care about her. She wouldn't survive if she didn't 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.120 have the job. So I was put in a very 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:49.280 difficult position and I agreed to film. So then people 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:52.080 say I lit up on camera and stuff. I was. 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.760 I'm shy, actually, and I was trying to make the 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:57.880 best of it. I mean, I'm not. I'm not trying 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:02.119 to be you know, ad. So I tried to make 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.520 the best of it. So whatever they saw, that's what it. 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:08.320 Was, did you So what I'm hearing is obviously, and listen, 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:12.280 I've done plenty of shows throughout my career, and that's 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:14.480 one thing that people don't understand is the fact that 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:18.360 this is no secret. It's publicly known that the men 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:23.640 do not get paid, and that the men on these shows, 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:26.880 they are a big part of these. 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.000 Ladies' storylines, right are you intimating that? 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:33.040 Obviously, when it came to your relationship with Shannon, it 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:33.600 was real. 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:35.840 You also knew she had this job. 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.600 This job is important to her and we've seen that, 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:43.120 and you felt that as her man at the time, 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:49.040 you were pleasing your girlfriend because you knew how important 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:49.800 this show was. 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:53.399 They're both you. I damn. 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:55.200 I did it for Shannon. 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:57.240 And that's the other thing. And a lot of what 0:18:57.880 --> 0:18:59.440 John and I have said is it just takes It's 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.680 gonna take time for America to actually see what was 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.880 real and what wasn't. But he isn't eager to jump 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.000 on the camera this season with me, and I filmed 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.640 the whole season, so it's just going to take time. 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:13.680 And yeah, he did a red carpet with me. Oh well, 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:15.679 who cares? Like everyone's like, oh, but he went on 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:16.359 the red carpet with you. 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:18.320 I asked him too. He did it for a favor 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.200 for me, because I wanted to go to that event. 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:21.639 He doesn't want me to go alone. He wants to 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.960
