Speaker 2: Honey, who is the reason for the motherfucking season? I

Speaker 4: a little bit, So don't don't feel bad. I'm Christian,
Speaker 4: but were still cuss.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm a Christian too, so I only cuss on
Speaker 1: Monday evenings and possible weekends. But I am so obsessed
Speaker 1: with you.
Speaker 4: Well, gosh, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: No, the thing is this the Real Housewives of Orange County.
Speaker 1: This is my humble opinion. It's the best housewives on
Speaker 1: television right now. It's it's it's fantastic, and you are
Speaker 1: a huge part of that reason. So look, I used
Speaker 1: to watch the OC obviously back in the day, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a real conversation, sister. I always enjoyed, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I always enjoyed you.
Speaker 2: Now, look, I'm being real. You weren't my favorite because.
Speaker 4: Podcast, Okay, I heard you.
Speaker 1: Well, look, I'm an honest boy, so I never disliked
Speaker 1: you ever, but I was I was definitely.
Speaker 2: Team Vickie Tamar wretched. But you are. I called you
Speaker 2: Pizza Hut because baby, you're delivering.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, that's one of the best ones I've heard.
Speaker 4: I'm going to steal that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you are pepperoni honey, mixed with some bacon,
Speaker 1: some mild sausage, and a little bit of like oregano.
Speaker 1: But I want to I want to ask you this, like,
Speaker 1: what made you decide to come back to the Real Housewife,
Speaker 1: because honey, you are doing such a wonderful job as
Speaker 1: a friend to the show this season, which is like
Speaker 1: insane to me.
Speaker 4: Well, it was not an easy decision. Number one.
Speaker 3: There was a couple I mean obviously meeting Johnny. When
Speaker 3: I met john it really threw a wrench at because
Speaker 3: I was going to come back. If I came back,
Speaker 3: I was going to come back as single lex That's
Speaker 3: what they were kind of excited about. And then I
Speaker 3: happened to meet him, so it changed the whole.
Speaker 4: The whole trajectory of everything.
Speaker 3: But I went back and forth many the whole time
Speaker 3: before I signed the contract because I just was I
Speaker 3: was a no, like a firm no. And then I
Speaker 3: had them to like four o'clock the next day, and
Speaker 3: so eight o'clock at night, sitting on John's I reached
Speaker 3: out to my texted my psychic and I'm like, I
Speaker 3: need to talk to you. It's important. Get me in tomorrow,
Speaker 3: please before four. And she said no at first, then
Speaker 3: she found time for me and was like, I can
Speaker 3: see you at one, and I'm like perfect. And my
Speaker 3: mom came through that reading. And my mom had just
Speaker 3: passed like three months before that. So my mom came
Speaker 3: through and said, you're like, what are you doing. I'm
Speaker 3: back here doing all this work for you. You're supposed
Speaker 3: to go back. Jesus didn't take the wheel.
Speaker 4: I did, So put on your big girl pants and
Speaker 4: go and Jesus take the wheel.
Speaker 3: As my mom and I song. My psychic didn't know
Speaker 3: any of this. My psychic didn't know the song. My
Speaker 3: psychic didn't know Bravo was trying to get me back
Speaker 3: on the show. My psychic didn't know why I was calling.
Speaker 3: But that's what came through. And so I called John
Speaker 3: right away and just said I'm going back. And you know,
Speaker 3: he didn't want me to go back on the show obviously,
Speaker 3: you know, He's like, and I didn't want to either.
Speaker 3: I wanted to protect what we had because it is
Speaker 3: a little bit toxic and it can be very you know,
Speaker 3: taxing on a relationship, and we were so new and
Speaker 3: but he was very so once I told him I'm
Speaker 3: going back, he was very supportive.
Speaker 1: So this is this is like breaking news I think
Speaker 1: for the audience, because it is breaking news for me.
Speaker 1: You were approached to come back to the Real Housewives
Speaker 1: of Orange County way before you met John.
Speaker 3: Talks were happening already, yes, and I was going to
Speaker 3: be single Alexis at that point, you know, which would
Speaker 3: have been really interesting for the viewers to see also
Speaker 3: because it's a complete one eighty from you know, the
Speaker 3: doting wife and mom of three that was on you know,
Speaker 3: a decade ago. But yeah, yeah, we were already in
Speaker 3: the talks and then unfortunately, I say unfortunately because it
Speaker 3: obviously has made this season very difficult for John and I.
Speaker 4: But then John and I met, But it's actually.
Speaker 3: Fortunately we met because we found each other in this process.
Speaker 4: But yeah, that's what's going to be interesting for viewers
Speaker 4: to see.
Speaker 1: Now, how did you let John meet? Because listen, I'm
Speaker 1: a straight shooter, pow pow. I assumed you now because
Speaker 1: I said on my podcast episode, I said, look, I
Speaker 1: don't care if this was orchestrated or not.
Speaker 2: I'm here for all of it.
Speaker 1: So I think a lot of people, and I am
Speaker 1: people thought like, Okay, a Lex's girl, you cosa deently
Speaker 1: met John, you two are dating, and now you're back
Speaker 1: on the show.
Speaker 2: So now that we know.
Speaker 1: That's not true, how did you meet John in the
Speaker 1: first place?
Speaker 2: Like what was that?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 3: I mean, and to be honest, I can see why
Speaker 3: viewers and everyone around the nation thinks that it was
Speaker 3: a setup or that we did this to get back
Speaker 3: on the show. Where what I can understand that it's
Speaker 3: very It would make sense to me too if I
Speaker 3: was a viewer watching my life unfold right now. However,
Speaker 3: it was truly and I've said this story before, so
Speaker 3: I hope. I don't know if anyone else has heard
Speaker 3: this out in the media yet, But Johnny and I
Speaker 3: I was an quiet woman, which of course you can't
Speaker 3: write this script, can you, like this is crazy? But
Speaker 3: I was an quiet woman because I have going there
Speaker 3: for decades. I always said, Shannon doesn't own aquiet woman,
Speaker 3: nobody else does.
Speaker 5: I was there.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm friends with the owner. I'm friends with
Speaker 3: Julius too. I've got everyone's cell phones too, so it's
Speaker 3: like okay. But anyway, I was leaving, we just paid
Speaker 3: the bill. I was with two of my gay friends
Speaker 3: and we were leaving, and then john and his friend
Speaker 3: sat down in a booth right next to us. Coincidentally,
Speaker 3: it was not even you know, it was just happened
Speaker 3: to be the booth that they were getting sad in.
Speaker 4: And so then his one.
Speaker 3: Of his friends I know from philanthropy work and just
Speaker 3: out in Orange County, and she comes over and sits
Speaker 3: down with me and says, oh my gosh, it's so
Speaker 3: good to see you.
Speaker 4: By the way, you should talk to him. You guys
Speaker 4: were on the same show. And I was like, okay,
Speaker 4: all right, we'll talk.
Speaker 3: And so their group ended up coming over and sitting
Speaker 3: with us, and we just ended up having a blast.
Speaker 3: And you know that picture that got taken front, My
Speaker 3: friend had the waiter take that photo of our whole booth.
Speaker 3: Then that's the picture that started all the rumors and
Speaker 3: everything happening.
Speaker 4: And Johnny and I.
Speaker 3: Both looked at Ricky as his name and said, please
Speaker 3: don't post that, Please don't nobody.
Speaker 4: At this table. It was that photo. We're just for it.
Speaker 4: We're just I just met the ID two minutes ago, right,
Speaker 4: but we knew what.
Speaker 3: Would happen, and sure enough, Ricky just said, fit, I'm
Speaker 3: going to post it anyway, and he did. The next morning,
Speaker 3: I wake up and you know, we're all over the
Speaker 3: place that we're dating.
Speaker 4: John and Alexis are together.
Speaker 3: And that made me very upset because Johnny and I
Speaker 3: were just forming a friendship and we were so like
Speaker 3: it actually drew us together faster because we would be
Speaker 3: on the phone laughing to each other about like can
Speaker 3: you believe this? Like this is so crazy? They literally
Speaker 3: think we're dating and we were both seeing other people
Speaker 3: at the time, like, you know, its just it's just
Speaker 3: a crazy story.
Speaker 4: It's crazy.
Speaker 3: And we were only friends. We started as only friends.
Speaker 2: How does your ex feel about you dating john?
Speaker 4: What? I mean?
Speaker 3: That's I've never been asked that question yet, but you know,
Speaker 3: I called him and said, well, I texted him and
Speaker 3: I said, I really need to talk to you, and
Speaker 3: he goes, if it's about your new guy or a
Speaker 3: new guy, I don't want to talk about it, And
Speaker 3: I said, you need to hear this from me and
Speaker 3: not from because we were we were we were going
Speaker 3: to give People the exclusive the next day, and I
Speaker 3: didn't want People Magazine to be how Drew heard that
Speaker 3: I was going to become more with John. So that's
Speaker 3: kind of how it happened. And I'm sure he wasn't happy,
Speaker 3: but we're still friends. He's a great guy, like I
Speaker 3: wish him nothing but the best, and it just didn't
Speaker 3: work for us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, listen, the thing is, we know that you
Speaker 1: are a woman who wears your heart and your sleeve,
Speaker 1: right Yeah, So as as we sort of are understanding
Speaker 1: that who you are this you know this season, what
Speaker 1: is the difference besides you obviously being single, Honey, you
Speaker 1: are reading the girls like a telephone book, like the
Speaker 1: Yellow Pages, you know, like you're you.
Speaker 2: Like Alexis.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened prior to you joined the
Speaker 1: show again, but you are confident. You're coming in the
Speaker 1: same honey in a hot pink honey, giving me pink
Speaker 1: panther tees.
Speaker 2: You you are you are just like this this firecracker.
Speaker 1: Talk to me about that because obviously a lot of
Speaker 1: Shannon's fans feel like you're coming in way too strong.
Speaker 1: You took her man, girl, like, why are you why
Speaker 1: do you have all of this fire and desire?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and again like I can see why people would
Speaker 4: think that.
Speaker 3: But honestly, Carlos, I lost my mom and my fiance
Speaker 3: all in the same week. Like my mom died August first,
Speaker 3: I broke up with my fiance August fourth.
Speaker 4: So I lost everything all at one time.
Speaker 3: And I, you know, before that ten years ago, six
Speaker 3: years ago, I my marriage broke up, and so then
Speaker 3: I lost my kids part of the time.
Speaker 4: Then they moved in with me full time. Then my
Speaker 4: mom got sick and we had that.
Speaker 3: Whole, you know, three years of me being a caretaker
Speaker 3: and watching that decline, which was just horrific. So I think,
Speaker 3: I think, and I say this, and you know, I
Speaker 3: don't give two fucks anymore.
Speaker 4: I just don't.
Speaker 3: There's just so much that I lost that I feel
Speaker 3: like it's made me become well much stronger, obviously, because
Speaker 3: what does it break you makes you stronger, right, So
Speaker 3: I think that is a lot of it. And then
Speaker 3: just watching my kids grow up and now I have
Speaker 3: three teenagers and they're going to go to college. There's
Speaker 3: just a lot of life growth that the true growth
Speaker 3: that happened over that, you know, ten years that the
Speaker 3: viewers haven't seen me. I am still the same person.
Speaker 3: I know I come in very hard, but I also
Speaker 3: was still grieving. I mean, that's something I want the
Speaker 3: viewers to understand, and I think they'll see it as
Speaker 3: the season unfold.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of episodes, but I.
Speaker 3: Break down a lot about my mom and because I'm
Speaker 3: still I am still physically in the grief stages. It
Speaker 3: three months is three months after my mom passes when
Speaker 3: we started filming, so I didn't have the time to go, Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm all better at healed. I'm still hurting from it,
Speaker 3: you know. But so I think that's a lot of
Speaker 3: why you see such a different Alexis this season. And
Speaker 3: it's not me trying to prove any points. It's just
Speaker 3: I'm not going to take any bullshit and I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna I'm not going to sit there in sugarcoat things.
Speaker 3: And I'm also not going to let people, one person
Speaker 3: in particular whose names shall not be mentioned, lie anymore
Speaker 3: and get away with it.
Speaker 4: I'm just not It's not going to happen.
Speaker 2: Shannon, Listen, I could mention her day.
Speaker 1: You don't have to But the thing is this, don't apologize, baby, because.
Speaker 2: You are everything that this season needed. Do you know
Speaker 2: what I mean?
Speaker 1: Because I'm such a big believer in following the reality,
Speaker 1: and the reality is you are in this situation, and
Speaker 1: the reality is you are on a show with your
Speaker 1: current boyfriend's ex girlfriend.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: And it's not easy for me either. And that's another thing.
Speaker 3: It's like, everyone's, oh, poor Shannon, Well what about me?
Speaker 3: She dated him before me. I think it's easy for
Speaker 3: me to try to.
Speaker 4: Film and go be around that, you know, my X
Speaker 4: my boyfriend's ex. No, it's not easy. It was very hard.
Speaker 4: It was a very difficult season to do.
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts we did it? What what are
Speaker 2: your thoughts on Shannon?
Speaker 4: Who?
Speaker 2: Shannon? You know, the person who you showed where the
Speaker 2: door was that? That that door?
Speaker 3: That's my feelings about her that say enough, sorry.
Speaker 2: That's okay, that's okay. Do you do you.
Speaker 1: When it comes to Shannon, but door honey. A lot
Speaker 1: of people have said she's a erratic. A lot of
Speaker 1: people have said she's an emotional roller coaster that you
Speaker 1: see as six flags. A lot of people have said
Speaker 1: that she is the Lulu, which is what the kids
Speaker 1: called delusional child. Are these things that you also agree
Speaker 1: about her as a person, Well.
Speaker 4: She's good TV, so I mean, let's just leave it
Speaker 4: at that.
Speaker 3: And if everything you say are, I think things that
Speaker 3: fans are going to see keep happening this season too, so.
Speaker 4: That'll speak for itself.
Speaker 1: One of the things that we saw on the show
Speaker 1: was there were these sort of accusations that Shannon allegedly
Speaker 1: was telling Heather, was telling you know, other women Emily
Speaker 1: about John that he is a camera hore, that he
Speaker 1: pretty much was using her all alleged that you know,
Speaker 1: allegedly he wasn't paying for certain things when they would
Speaker 1: go out and have dinner.
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts about that?
Speaker 4: Well, let me address your last part first.
Speaker 3: Okay, one about the which, by the way, he's right
Speaker 3: here so he can speak on to this.
Speaker 2: Also, is that is that John in the background you
Speaker 2: can see you.
Speaker 4: Can see Johnny say Hi, he can't hear you because
Speaker 4: I'm in the headphones. Honey, honey, you just wait. Oh
Speaker 4: he was you get a two for one here, put
Speaker 4: a headphone in. Put a headphone.
Speaker 1: Ladies jump to me and they job, You're like, God,
Speaker 1: you're kind of hot, kind of.
Speaker 2: John.
Speaker 4: I'm going to be with anyone, but.
Speaker 2: I mean John.
Speaker 1: So when you when you left Channon, did you also
Speaker 1: leave stress because you look amazing?
Speaker 5: Thank you, thank you, and yes I did, and you're
Speaker 5: You're only the third person who thinks I'm hot, So
Speaker 5: there's millions who don't.
Speaker 6: The only one that matters is me, though one I
Speaker 6: think I tell him Hawty is every day. So joh, okay,
Speaker 6: well you got a third fan.
Speaker 4: Okay, yay. We're building a brick.
Speaker 1: Power and I literally need a fan. I'm sorry, Alexis.
Speaker 1: John is giving me.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 4: I want to.
Speaker 3: Address the last part real quick and then and then
Speaker 3: I know he didn't hear the question, but he'll get
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, and then you can ask him whatever
Speaker 3: else you want. This is one of the most misconceptions,
Speaker 3: most aggravating rumors out there about him. First of all,
Speaker 3: John offered to pay me the full salary that Bravo
Speaker 3: was going to pay me not to do the show.
Speaker 3: So if he's mister you know, doesn't have money and
Speaker 3: she pays for everything, he's not going to do that.
Speaker 4: Number one. Number two, it's a lie. It's a lie.
Speaker 3: And she says he love bombed her, He did all this,
Speaker 3: he did that. How does he love bomb you if
Speaker 3: he's broken, doesn't give you anything and you're paying for everything. Huh,
Speaker 3: how does that make it like?
Speaker 4: Nothing she says, makes sense?
Speaker 3: And nothing, she says, she has no credibility anymore because
Speaker 3: it's going to keep getting profusely shown throughout the season.
Speaker 3: She has her words don't have any merit. So you
Speaker 3: can ask him any of the other questions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, so, John, John, Allegedly, you know Shanna has
Speaker 1: told Heather and Emily and the twenty million people who
Speaker 1: watch the show that pretty much you were using her.
Speaker 2: You love the camera, You are a camera horre.
Speaker 1: You love this fame that has been given to you
Speaker 1: courtesy of Shannon saying yes to this mess. So what
Speaker 1: do you have to say to yourself because a lot
Speaker 1: of people do think that you left Shannon and then
Speaker 1: your fame was doingling and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 2: That's what the girls are saying.
Speaker 1: John, I'm here to read the comment and to report
Speaker 1: the news.
Speaker 2: Honey, I'm a journalist.
Speaker 5: The vast majority of people out there do not know
Speaker 5: is that I ended up making the decisions saying I'm
Speaker 5: not going to film. Now, at the time I'm with Shannon.
Speaker 5: I care about her. She wouldn't survive if she didn't
Speaker 5: have the job. So I was put in a very
Speaker 5: difficult position and I agreed to film. So then people
Speaker 5: say I lit up on camera and stuff. I was.
Speaker 5: I'm shy, actually, and I was trying to make the
Speaker 5: best of it. I mean, I'm not. I'm not trying
Speaker 5: to be you know, ad. So I tried to make
Speaker 5: the best of it. So whatever they saw, that's what it.
Speaker 1: Was, did you So what I'm hearing is obviously, and listen,
Speaker 1: I've done plenty of shows throughout my career, and that's
Speaker 1: one thing that people don't understand is the fact that
Speaker 1: this is no secret. It's publicly known that the men
Speaker 1: do not get paid, and that the men on these shows,
Speaker 1: they are a big part of these.
Speaker 2: Ladies' storylines, right are you intimating that?
Speaker 1: Obviously, when it came to your relationship with Shannon, it
Speaker 1: was real.
Speaker 2: You also knew she had this job.
Speaker 1: This job is important to her and we've seen that,
Speaker 1: and you felt that as her man at the time,
Speaker 1: you were pleasing your girlfriend because you knew how important
Speaker 1: this show was.
Speaker 2: They're both you. I damn.
Speaker 5: I did it for Shannon.
Speaker 3: And that's the other thing. And a lot of what
Speaker 3: John and I have said is it just takes It's
Speaker 3: gonna take time for America to actually see what was
Speaker 3: real and what wasn't. But he isn't eager to jump
Speaker 3: on the camera this season with me, and I filmed
Speaker 3: the whole season, so it's just going to take time.
Speaker 3: And yeah, he did a red carpet with me. Oh well,
Speaker 3: who cares? Like everyone's like, oh, but he went on
Speaker 3: the red carpet with you.
Speaker 4: I asked him too. He did it for a favor
Speaker 4: for me, because I wanted to go to that event.
Speaker 3: He doesn't want me to go alone. He wants to
Speaker 3: go go with me, Like I mean, we're I'm going
Speaker 3: to crawl in a hole and die. Just because there's
Speaker 3: a rumor out there that he's a fame whore. He's
Speaker 3: not a fame whore. He could trust me. He's been
Speaker 3: asked to do a million interviews. Okay, the guy said
Speaker 3: no for up till now. I mean, he's just popped
Speaker 3: into just now.
Speaker 5: But which is It's been a dilemma because my silence
Speaker 5: is largely responsible for people hating me and thinking I'm
Speaker 5: this bad person because all of these things that have
Speaker 5: been said about me have taken hold as truth over
Speaker 5: the last four or five years, and it's hurt me.
Speaker 2: It's hurt me, had to hurt you financially in terms.
Speaker 5: Of work, Yeah, it has.
Speaker 2: What do you regret more?
Speaker 1: Do you regret doing the show or do you regret
Speaker 1: dating Shannon Badoor.
Speaker 5: The bottom line is Bravo is not at fault. The
Speaker 5: cast is not at fault. I mean, the cast definitely
Speaker 5: have said a lot of bad things about me, but
Speaker 5: I really can't blame them because there's just one because
Speaker 5: they're just believing drunk Shannon comments. And that's people think
Speaker 5: the cast know me. They don't know me. I've never
Speaker 5: even had a conversation with Emily Simpson, for example, and
Speaker 5: she definitely doesn't like me, but she doesn't know me,
Speaker 5: and they act as if they do.
Speaker 3: They think just because of they've heard through Shannon what
Speaker 3: she said, or they've filmed one scene with him or two.
Speaker 3: He's never sat down one on one or had a
Speaker 3: conversation with any of those women like a heart to heart.
Speaker 4: Asked and then asking him how what kind of guy
Speaker 4: he is? How did he grow up? What was his career, like,
Speaker 4: none of that.
Speaker 3: They don't know anything about this man, just what they've
Speaker 3: heard and the perception that's been put out there. So
Speaker 3: that's and that's why I came in so hard this season,
Speaker 3: is because when I fell in love with John, first
Speaker 3: of all, we didn't try to.
Speaker 4: We were really trying not to.
Speaker 3: Because it was we knew the path of being together
Speaker 3: was going to be way more difficult than if we
Speaker 3: found somebody.
Speaker 4: Else at the grocery store.
Speaker 3: Like, let's just say so once we once we were like, Okay,
Speaker 3: we can't look back, and we are madly in love
Speaker 3: and we are going to go through.
Speaker 4: Full full throttle with this.
Speaker 3: I came on the season very upset because I know
Speaker 3: his heart, I know him. I look at him and
Speaker 3: I can see his past, like his childhood. I can
Speaker 3: see everything in his eyes, So I just can't. I
Speaker 3: come in defensive and hard, but at the same time,
Speaker 3: it's like, well, who wouldn't when they're in love with
Speaker 3: someone who's been completely demolished and it's all in true,
Speaker 3: you know, no.
Speaker 1: I feel Listen at the end of the day, listen,
Speaker 1: stand by your man, sister, Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And I think it's okay for a woman to defend
Speaker 1: her man under these very unique circumstances. Who I hate
Speaker 1: to interrupt, but stay tuned for more. This is reality
Speaker 1: with the King, and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back
Speaker 1: into the show. I'm a huge, huge watcher of OC
Speaker 1: and it's it's honestly the best show on television right now.
Speaker 1: I've seen you on this show with Shannon, and I
Speaker 1: have my opinions again based on this show, which I
Speaker 1: obviously know you don't see the full forty two minutes
Speaker 1: scene that can cut down to seven right minutes. What
Speaker 1: was it like dating Shannon Badoor?
Speaker 5: That's a big question, you know what. I want to
Speaker 5: say that my relationship with Shannon was real. She she
Speaker 5: has a wonderful side to her. But I think, you know,
Speaker 5: people out there just assume like John was the problem
Speaker 5: in the relationship, and I would just challenge people to
Speaker 5: think about what it might be like to be with Shannon.
Speaker 5: I will say that what was it like? It was
Speaker 5: what is it like to fail every day, all day,
Speaker 5: every day, to fail at everything. That's what it felt
Speaker 5: like to date her. But there were fun times, there
Speaker 5: were good times. She has a wonderful side to her
Speaker 5: and funny.
Speaker 4: I mean, she's funny and it seems fun when I've
Speaker 4: seen them.
Speaker 5: It was real, it was real. I tried very very hard,
Speaker 5: I did, but we were never meant to be together.
Speaker 5: And yeah, this is what it's supposed to be. Like,
Speaker 5: there's a lot of stress that's gone from my life,
Speaker 5: and you know, it sounds.
Speaker 3: I brought some new stress with some more media covers.
Speaker 4: His life just went from one to the next.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not that there's no stress. I mean, I'm
Speaker 5: not on the show, but I think I'm talked about
Speaker 5: more than anybody else, which is pretty surreal.
Speaker 3: It's really hard on him that part of he doesn't
Speaker 3: have a voice, and it's like he's he's mentioned in everything,
Speaker 3: whether I'm.
Speaker 4: There or not.
Speaker 5: He's usually in a negative way.
Speaker 4: And always it's always negative.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, and I and I get that, and I
Speaker 2: get that.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm so appreciative John of you you talking
Speaker 1: to me, because I want you to have a safe
Speaker 1: space to just, you know, let the audience know exactly
Speaker 1: what you're going through. Like I said, I'm an avid
Speaker 1: watch for the show. And one of my last questions
Speaker 1: because I got one more about you and a Lexus
Speaker 1: than I.
Speaker 2: I'll let you go back to to your thing.
Speaker 1: But as I as I see things unraveled with Shannon
Speaker 1: over the years of the show, I never was I
Speaker 1: and this is me being honest, I never once thought
Speaker 1: you were the cause of meaning of it. I just
Speaker 1: I didn't see that at all. My opinion was And
Speaker 1: I want to know if you think the same thing
Speaker 1: I think. I just thought to myself and I still
Speaker 1: think this way, that Shannon is still in love with
Speaker 1: her ex husband and she hasn't healed from that marriage.
Speaker 2: You don't think so, okay, I.
Speaker 5: That would be news to me. I really don't think so. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I believe it that I don't. I don't think that's true.
Speaker 2: Okay, talk to me last question.
Speaker 1: Talk to me about Alexis and and and how she
Speaker 1: is as a person. Because we've saw old Alexis, you know,
Speaker 1: we we I don't.
Speaker 4: Think he ever watched the old shows with me on it.
Speaker 4: By the way, you don't know the old Alexis.
Speaker 5: I haven't seen her seasons.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like old alex was like, right, alex like a
Speaker 1: stepper wife, like very much like you know, sometimes voiceless
Speaker 1: in her own marriage. Because she wanted to obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: be the wife in whatever biblical sense of the word
Speaker 1: that means. But I told her John that I'm loving
Speaker 1: who I'm watching this season so far, and we're only
Speaker 1: three episodes in and I am super impressed, and I
Speaker 1: just I love it.
Speaker 2: She's vocal.
Speaker 1: But talk to us about Alexis, because a lot of
Speaker 1: people do think like.
Speaker 2: Oh girl, like whatever, girl, you're doing the most.
Speaker 1: You're so thirsty, you're this, you're this, You're that. You're
Speaker 1: the one who is with her on the daily basis,
Speaker 1: and you guys are in love. So talk to the
Speaker 1: audience about who Alexis is as a girlfriend.
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know that we have enough time.
Speaker 4: I'll pay you later. Don't worry, I'll write your check.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: I tell her she's perfect all the time, and she
Speaker 5: is perfect for me. She is confident. She is and
Speaker 5: i'd say overused phrase, but she is absolutely as beautiful
Speaker 5: on the inside as on the outside, and she brings
Speaker 5: out the best in me. She I've never ever felt
Speaker 5: truly loved until Alexis, and I've never felt more loved.
Speaker 5: I've never felt more like I have this true partner
Speaker 5: in life. I don't keep anything from her. We are
Speaker 5: one hundred percent open book. We communicate better than I've
Speaker 5: ever communicated. I mean I could, I could go on
Speaker 5: and on and on. She's She's funny as hell. We
Speaker 5: laugh all the time. She is an incredible person. And
Speaker 5: I say this all that she is literally the best
Speaker 5: mother on the face of the earth. Maybe she ties
Speaker 5: with my mom, but she is an unbelievable mother. Her
Speaker 5: three kids are all amazing individuals and I love them all,
Speaker 5: and she's incredible.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, okay, I'm not crying.
Speaker 2: You are all.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that because listen, I'm team Alexis. Not that
Speaker 1: I'm anti anyone else, but I'm team Alexis, and I
Speaker 1: appreciate you sharing that because I think it's important that
Speaker 1: the world knows the woman behind.
Speaker 2: The personality, you know what I mean on these shows.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad that you were able, John, to to
Speaker 1: talk about that, but in addition to defend yourself, because
Speaker 1: I think it's every right for a person to defend
Speaker 1: themselves against anything that's false.
Speaker 2: So I do thank you for that and keep it going. John,
Speaker 2: You look good man.
Speaker 5: All right, that's a good note for me to exit.
Speaker 6: By a yes, I know, see America, see a miracle,
Speaker 6: will see eventually how real are our love is?
Speaker 3: And I I like, he and I sit and talk
Speaker 3: about it, but it's like we thought we were in
Speaker 3: love before.
Speaker 4: We both thought like, okay, we were because I would
Speaker 4: never have been married or been engaged prior to him.
Speaker 3: But it's like what we have is just on such
Speaker 3: a different universe or planet, Like it's I just can't
Speaker 3: explain it. And it's not it's not discounting anything else
Speaker 3: we've had in the past, because we don't regret any
Speaker 3: of our paths either.
Speaker 4: However, it's just different.
Speaker 3: And it's like it's like a lot of the sayings
Speaker 3: just come into like you know, when you really meet
Speaker 3: your person, you'll really know.
Speaker 4: It's like you it's you just do. It's like, okay,
Speaker 4: like I.
Speaker 3: Don't think if he died tomorrow, I don't think I
Speaker 3: dated any ever date again because I just don't think
Speaker 3: there'd be anything that could match what we have.
Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, you're that in alexis all.
Speaker 3: In h and he's the same, like we both we
Speaker 3: both say these things all the time, like it's just.
Speaker 4: It's just it's just unique and it's cool. You know
Speaker 4: it's our story is really cool. In five years, people
Speaker 4: might think it's actually a cool story.
Speaker 3: Right now, they hate us and they think we're we're
Speaker 3: doing everything to harm other people and we're in it
Speaker 3: for thirstiness or TV or whatever.
Speaker 4: It's like. Now, it's just give us some time, you'll see.
Speaker 1: No, we need to see that, which is why I'm
Speaker 1: advocating you to hold an orange next season.
Speaker 2: No, you need the honey. You are the honey.
Speaker 1: You you set this season off, honey, like hello, like
Speaker 1: it a lot.
Speaker 3: The girls are all amazing. I mean, I think it's
Speaker 3: just a crazy you know what I think, Carlos. I
Speaker 3: think the reason the cast is so good this season
Speaker 3: is because there are true friendships. I feel like a
Speaker 3: lot of franchises they're not friends. I think Beverly Hills
Speaker 3: truly is those women, but a lot of the other ones,
Speaker 3: I don't think any of them are really friends. Where
Speaker 3: we like Jen and Katie and I try to go
Speaker 3: to lunch at least once every two weeks, you know,
Speaker 3: I talk to Heather and Tamor all the time. Like
Speaker 3: there's true friendships there that are legitimate and not just because.
Speaker 4: Of the show.
Speaker 2: So yeah, no, no, no, this is the best. This
Speaker 2: is the best cast I've seen in years.
Speaker 4: I agree with you, all of you. Yeah, I like
Speaker 4: all of you.
Speaker 2: Women are great. I want to be I want.
Speaker 1: To talk to you more about your your cast because
Speaker 1: obviously you are an original housewive that was on many
Speaker 1: seasons and now you're back as a friend of and
Speaker 1: you're getting meet these new women. What are your thoughts
Speaker 1: on what's going on between Gin and Ryan and that
Speaker 1: whole situation with like, you know, the finances and.
Speaker 4: Well, like I.
Speaker 3: Don't Okay, see, I've I've only met Ryan a few times,
Speaker 3: but I've hung out with Jen several and I adore
Speaker 3: both of them. I think they're both super nice. They're
Speaker 3: cute as heck together, They're they're fun and funny.
Speaker 4: I don't really know.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's a it's a stand up
Speaker 3: man who takes a woman in his home and six children.
Speaker 4: I just think that you can not just turn your
Speaker 4: head at that.
Speaker 3: That's not like, you know, John's even said he's like,
Speaker 3: that's that's true love, because men aren't going to just
Speaker 3: open their door and say here's you know, I want
Speaker 3: a whole new, big family at that large So the
Speaker 3: love I think they had is real. I don't understand
Speaker 3: a lot about their you know, what's going on with
Speaker 3: the money issue with Ryan and with all that stuff.
Speaker 4: I'm going to let that unfold.
Speaker 3: Myself, because I I don't want to speak out of
Speaker 3: just a situation I don't have the facts of, you know,
Speaker 3: I just know that she seems to I've asked her.
Speaker 4: She seems to say, there's nothing to worry about. Everything's fine.
Speaker 3: So I just take it with that, you know, And
Speaker 3: I love her and I'm going to support my friend.
Speaker 1: You know, is it hard being friends with her because
Speaker 1: it was happening between her and Tamra. I mean, Tamra
Speaker 1: has caught her single white female.
Speaker 3: It is no I was called single white female, not
Speaker 3: maybe Tamra what did.
Speaker 4: I don't know if she did or.
Speaker 3: Not, but I know I was called single white female
Speaker 3: this season, which is like so not true. But anyway,
Speaker 3: I it is hard to be friends with both of
Speaker 3: them because I adore and love Tamara and we have
Speaker 3: a very long history of a friendship. And I know
Speaker 3: everyone thinks that's weird because we didn't have a friendship
Speaker 3: like we left my.
Speaker 4: Season eight when I left.
Speaker 3: We were we did have a crumpled relationship, but we
Speaker 3: were friends before that. When I first started the show.
Speaker 3: She was my first housewife. That was my friend on,
Speaker 3: you know, other than when how they're joined on. So
Speaker 3: it's hard, and I've gone to both of them and
Speaker 3: I've said, you know, I said, Tamara, I don't want
Speaker 3: to hear about tension.
Speaker 4: I don't I don't want to be in.
Speaker 3: The middle of it because I adore both of you,
Speaker 3: and I did the same thing with Jin. I just said,
Speaker 3: I don't want to talk about Tamara. I don't want
Speaker 3: to hear about it. Like whatever happens between you guys,
Speaker 3: that leave up between you. But I mean, if you
Speaker 3: think about it, Carlos, a lot of the other women
Speaker 3: have to do that with me because their friends with Shannon.
Speaker 3: So it's like, you know, I think you have to
Speaker 3: compartmentalize the friendships in this kind of of a scenario
Speaker 3: because of the fact that we are working together and
Speaker 3: there are some friendships and there are some animosities. So
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what I feel. Just compartmentalize it. You know,
Speaker 3: I can be friends with Hammer and friends with Gin
Speaker 3: and go face value, and when one of them left
Speaker 3: me over, then I'll deal with that you know, but
Speaker 3: until then we're all just friends. Hopefully that doesn't happen,
Speaker 3: but you never know.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Emily and Gina.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know if I really want
Speaker 4: to go there right now.
Speaker 2: Why are you guys not?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just have heard a lot of things that I
Speaker 3: guess I have to see how it unfolds this season.
Speaker 4: They they aren't.
Speaker 3: I mean, I saw Gina the other night at a
Speaker 3: shin dig that was at Fletcher, and we got along
Speaker 3: just fine, and I think she's funny as he. I
Speaker 3: think that the jury's still out for me on both
Speaker 3: because I feel like they're one way to my face,
Speaker 3: but from what I hear, they're not, and especially confessionals,
Speaker 3: they're really brutal to John, so for that, I kind
Speaker 3: of want to give them the bird, But like you know,
Speaker 3: I think it for me, I'm just going to have
Speaker 3: to watch the season and unfold and then go from there.
Speaker 3: I'm not picking up the phone and calling either of
Speaker 3: them daily like I do a lot of.
Speaker 4: The other women, just just to be honest, and.
Speaker 3: I don't think they I don't think they really like
Speaker 3: me deep down. I think they from what I've heard
Speaker 3: through the grape vine, I'm I think they both pretty
Speaker 3: much don't like me.
Speaker 4: So whatever, I'm not looking for a new I have.
Speaker 4: I have.
Speaker 3: I have a small circle, and my circle is great,
Speaker 3: and I have you know, quite a few other acquaintances.
Speaker 4: I don't need new friends anyway.
Speaker 2: Are they talking about you behind your back of smiling
Speaker 2: your face?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I can't give away too much because obviously
Speaker 3: you know this is it's it.
Speaker 4: You have to tune in to see it.
Speaker 3: But from what I have heard, very reliable sources are
Speaker 3: telling me that. So like I said, if I bite
Speaker 3: my finger, if I if I you know, put my
Speaker 3: foot in my mouth later after the season airs, then
Speaker 3: I'll apologize or what I say, Oh my gosh, you
Speaker 3: can't do I said that on Carlos. But from what
Speaker 3: I hear, yes, this is, this is what's happening. So
Speaker 3: we still have quite a few, quite a few more
Speaker 3: episodes to see rain Drop, So tune in and.
Speaker 2: Then, yeah, now, the right jobs love you. They love you.
Speaker 1: I'm just shocked that Gina, who's the top real turn
Speaker 1: the OC, just has time to talk about you, because you.
Speaker 6: Know, I yeah, I mean, I don't know why anybody
Speaker 6: would want to talk about me.
Speaker 4: Okay, they do fine.
Speaker 2: Here, yeah, talking.
Speaker 4: About other people. So they want to talk about me, fine,
Speaker 4: go for it.
Speaker 1: What can we expect from you for the rest of
Speaker 1: the season, because it's already off to an amazing star
Speaker 1: And I just I sent my podcast two weeks ago
Speaker 1: that again, I feel like OC is back, and I
Speaker 1: feel like OC is going to have the best season
Speaker 1: of all the franchises.
Speaker 3: I think, I mean, and I'm not saying this to
Speaker 3: toot our own horn because I'm on the cast. I
Speaker 3: think it is going to be the best season that's
Speaker 3: ever aired. I just do, and I mean it sucks
Speaker 3: that it has to be, you know, some of it
Speaker 3: at the at the expense of my relationship because of
Speaker 3: I found my true love. But there's so much elder
Speaker 3: things happening on this season that are just like wow,
Speaker 3: like how did all of this happen in one year?
Speaker 3: It just it is, so it's going to be really
Speaker 3: good and juicy, and it's not. It goes a bunch
Speaker 3: of different directions.
Speaker 1: So last question, oh boy, I don't know by the
Speaker 1: tone of that.
Speaker 2: Okay, if you.
Speaker 1: Are asked back next season as a full time housewife,
Speaker 1: would you accept it? Along with knowing that John would
Speaker 1: more than likely have to film more than what happened
Speaker 1: this season?
Speaker 2: Are you Are you ready for that?
Speaker 4: I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 3: I just need to take it day by day right now,
Speaker 3: to be honest, I mean, I just see how this
Speaker 3: season unfolds, and I don't know. Honestly, don't know the
Speaker 3: answer to that question. John and I have definitely talked
Speaker 3: about it because we have heard, you know, we were
Speaker 3: just have talked about it anyway, whether it would and
Speaker 3: he's going to support me, but we have made it
Speaker 3: very clear that we will at the end of all
Speaker 3: of this because this is a long season, pull your
Speaker 3: sepet on and hang on because it goes a lot
Speaker 3: of directions and there's a lot to unfold still. So yeah,
Speaker 3: so I don't know. We will have to discuss that,
Speaker 3: you know, at.
Speaker 4: A later date. You'll be the first to know. Carlos,
Speaker 4: how's that?
Speaker 2: Listen?
Speaker 4: So you will be my second phone call?
Speaker 2: Okay, honey, and I'm going to name your fan base.
Speaker 5: Okay, we are.
Speaker 2: What the bells?
Speaker 4: But what happens with my name?
Speaker 5: Doesn't?
Speaker 4: Is it that anymore? Janson?
Speaker 5: I know?
Speaker 2: Oh, honey. I'll come up with them on the spot, honey.
Speaker 1: But now, now as long as their name right now
Speaker 1: it's Alexis Belino.
Speaker 2: Your fan base are called the Belinis. Okay, we'll take
Speaker 2: a shot. Yes.
Speaker 1: No, listen, I am an advocate for you being a housewife.
Speaker 1: You you are, You represent oc you represent everything this
Speaker 1: show needed. You and Tamra have their Gina and Moily
Speaker 1: Shannon uh the jury slot on Katie Honey because I
Speaker 1: need her to say more than I am.
Speaker 2: So No, I don't just like her though. I don't
Speaker 2: like her saying that you're.
Speaker 4: Good about making sure that you don't have any enemies.
Speaker 4: But I adore her.
Speaker 6: I just want to say that, so I hope that
Speaker 6: the viewers start adoring her too.
Speaker 4: I just think she's fabulous.
Speaker 2: No, and I feel that way about you, Listen.
Speaker 1: I know that you coming in to this season with that,
Speaker 1: with the johnas Shannon of it all, isn't the best
Speaker 1: setup for people to like fall in love with you instantly.
Speaker 2: So my advice to you is just to stay the course.
Speaker 1: Everybody have a tough beginning when they're back into the
Speaker 1: fold with something as controversial as as as what we've
Speaker 1: seen so just just take your time, take your time,
Speaker 1: and and and at the end of the day, you know,
Speaker 1: I tell all of my reality stars this, don't feed
Speaker 1: into the comments, because what you need to always know
Speaker 1: is this, the comments are competition against people who could
Speaker 1: say the worst thing to get the traction that they need.
Speaker 2: They're like trying to win up each other.
Speaker 1: Always know that is to wind up each other, and
Speaker 1: it does not represent the real life.
Speaker 4: I didn't know that. I just turned comments off at
Speaker 4: this point.
Speaker 3: I'm like, maybe in a year I can turn them
Speaker 3: back on and people actually like me again. But for now,
Speaker 3: no one gets to If you want to follow my page,
Speaker 3: you can follow if.
Speaker 4: You're not commenting on it. Yeah, another person to beat
Speaker 4: up because I don't. I don't give two ships. Like
Speaker 4: I said before, I don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm I'm glad you have that.
Speaker 1: That that sort of hit space because it's necessary.
Speaker 2: It's a tough show. It's a tough crowd. But baby,
Speaker 2: you are tough cookie.
Speaker 4: Thank you. I adore you too. I'll just tell you that.
Speaker 3: So next time we're in the same town, we have
Speaker 3: to we have to have a dinner together.
Speaker 2: We will, we will, we will, we will, we will.
