Speaker 5: You could have winked well, I don't know.
Speaker 4: You could have been or you could have under.

Speaker 4: Crom Okay, well, if you give me, if you give
Speaker 4: me the thing of all the to dos of what
Speaker 4: you're supposed to do now that I'm back in this world,

Speaker 4: and I wasn't going back on Housewives at this point.
Speaker 4: I did not had not signed any contracts. I'm still
Speaker 4: my feet are still getting wet.
Speaker 3: By the way, speaking of signing contracts, there was a
Speaker 3: good month where you and I were communicating before we
Speaker 3: started filming, and You're like, I don't want to do it.
Speaker 3: I don't know should I do it, I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: do it, I'm gonna do it, I'm not gonna do it,
Speaker 3: I am not gonna it.
Speaker 4: Was mostly I'm went down to the wire.
Speaker 3: You call me the night before and you tell me
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, tam I know you want me back, but
Speaker 3: it's just not gonna work out.
Speaker 5: And then she signed her contract.
Speaker 4: No, but do you want know what happened?
Speaker 5: Can I tell you?
Speaker 4: The fun part about.
Speaker 2: This is it because you like to do like a touch,
Speaker 2: like you want to lead somebody on a little bit
Speaker 2: or No.
Speaker 3: Nope, that's not at all. She likes to keep them guessing.
Speaker 4: Nope, not at at all. One hundred percent was not
Speaker 4: in my mind. I was not going to do the show.
Speaker 4: And then I was sitting on John's couch with him
Speaker 4: and I had about like, they give you the time
Speaker 4: where you have to decide, right, this is a great
Speaker 4: story because you're gonna laugh at me when you hear this.
Speaker 4: But they were giving me the time crunch, and I
Speaker 4: so I called my psychic. My psychic at like eight
Speaker 4: o'clock at night, I text her and she's in. She's
Speaker 4: on the other side of the country, okay, And I go,
Speaker 4: I know it's eight o'clock. I need to see you tomorrow.
Speaker 4: I have I have to make a decision before I
Speaker 4: have to talk to you sometime tomorrow. Can you get
Speaker 4: me in?
Speaker 5: Was she like this?
Speaker 3: She had no, she had no clue.
Speaker 4: I'm talked to her in a year had no clue,
Speaker 4: and I just said it's super important, and she goes,
Speaker 4: you know what, I don't. I'm full, and then she
Speaker 4: take me back an hour later. So it's nine o'clock
Speaker 4: at time, my time, midnight her time. She's like, I
Speaker 4: can get you at one o'clock tomorrow. I said my time.
Speaker 4: I said perfect. She puts me on zoom and we
Speaker 4: have a session. And my mom came through and said like, basically,
Speaker 4: alexis what are you doing. I'm back here working my
Speaker 4: butt off on the other side. I set this up
Speaker 4: for you. You're supposed to do it. And my mom
Speaker 4: and my song no listen to this, no listen to this,
Speaker 4: and this isn't just passed. My mom had just passed,
Speaker 4: and this is I'm not I'm not gonna cry you guys,
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna cry. But listen, this is the best
Speaker 4: part of the whole story. My mom said. Because I
Speaker 4: looked at my psychics Tracy, I go, I just I
Speaker 4: don't know. I just don't know how I can do this.
Speaker 4: And Tracy looks at me and goes, your mom just
Speaker 4: told me Jesus didn't take the will, baby girl, I did.
Speaker 4: Now get your big girl pants on and go Jesus
Speaker 4: take the Wheel as my mom and my song. So
Speaker 4: when she's when my psychic said I go, I'm going back,
Speaker 4: I called John or Yeah, because I was when John
Speaker 4: at that one. I called John first, I then called
Speaker 4: I called product or Spencer. Then I called all of
Speaker 4: you are girls, you and Heather and said I'm back.
Speaker 4: I'm going And from that point on I never looked back.
Speaker 4: It was then on I'm going back.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: And I literally got judged in my shoulders all the
Speaker 4: way down to my feet. No, Tracy doesn't know that's
Speaker 4: my mom and my song.
Speaker 5: That's crazy. But now I can't get this out of
Speaker 5: my head. What Jesus jugs takes? They're smaller, said, they're smaller.
Speaker 5: Now let's talk about your Jesus.
Speaker 4: Jugs because I messed up boob right now. No, your
Speaker 4: boobs are perfect.
Speaker 5: I felt at the airport and it felt nice to me.
Speaker 4: No, well, you didn't feel hard enough like.
Speaker 5: Later long after we hang out with Mellie. Yeah, after
Speaker 5: Janet Jackson, we'll be filling you.
Speaker 3: So I have a question, what is it like being
Speaker 3: back ten Was it ten years you were off? Did
Speaker 3: you ever think that you were going to come back.
Speaker 4: I never did. And even when I when I called
Speaker 4: Spencer and said, I want to sign on with you
Speaker 4: and I want to do something, but I never thought
Speaker 4: and I told. My first word to him was I'm
Speaker 4: ready to work as long as you're okay taking me
Speaker 4: on without Housewives being an option. He said, I'll take
Speaker 4: you anyway, and we started working. And then that was
Speaker 4: basically in the same month almost that Housewives started reaching
Speaker 4: out to me, and I was still affirm no.
Speaker 3: I told you, O, can you confirm that Housewives reached
Speaker 3: out to you before you even started dating John.
Speaker 4: Housewives was connecting with me and asking me before I'd
Speaker 4: even John. I even knew who John Jansen was. I
Speaker 4: mean maybe i'd seen it who barely barely barely. I'm
Speaker 4: letting you know, barely. I'd never met him.
Speaker 5: I was never what did you watch the show when
Speaker 5: you were not?
Speaker 4: I watched a couple of the episodes from the season
Speaker 4: when she first came back, and he was I think
Speaker 4: there was flashbacks. I don't even know.
Speaker 5: Did you think he was hot when you were watching it?
Speaker 4: I didn't even I didn't look at him like except
Speaker 4: he's just John, like just a character on I didn't
Speaker 4: even I didn't wasn't looking at anybody thinking anyone's hot
Speaker 4: or not or oh my gosh, I like this nothing.
Speaker 4: It's so organic the way it happened, and it's it's
Speaker 4: really weird. It's just all God. And I believe to
Speaker 4: this day that my mom is who brought John Jansen
Speaker 4: into that restaurant.
Speaker 3: That chills again.
Speaker 2: Do you think once this happened with the psychic and
Speaker 2: you talk to John, what were what was his thoughts on.
Speaker 5: You going on?
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, he hated that I called my psychic,
Speaker 4: and that was one because he's Christian and doesn't believe
Speaker 4: in that.
Speaker 3: I was going to ask you, does Jesus approve of this?
Speaker 4: I said, you know what, I will deal with all
Speaker 4: of the things I've done in correctly in my life
Speaker 4: at the at the Parly Gates, and everyone else can
Speaker 4: f off, because that's the only judge I have, Jesus,
Speaker 4: jugs I love. Well, it's all the only one that
Speaker 4: matters is me and God.
Speaker 2: I mean, we're all human. We all make mistakes and
Speaker 2: we all do things. But speaking of mistakes, let's talk
Speaker 2: about below deck.
Speaker 4: Oh good God, hold on.
Speaker 5: First off, how much should it? How much should it
Speaker 5: cost to.
Speaker 2: Go we heard to go on below deck if you're
Speaker 2: not a crew member that you have to pay.
Speaker 5: How much does it cost to go on below deck?
Speaker 4: Well, okay, I have things I'm not able to disclose. Okay,
Speaker 4: you like that?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciate it. She got a wink.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to learn your what you need. It's not
Speaker 4: a nudge, it's a lot.
Speaker 3: I know what it is because they asked me to
Speaker 3: be on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's is it more or less than twenty
Speaker 2: thousand dollars?
Speaker 4: So what is? What is not? Undisclosab Well, i'll tell
Speaker 4: you what I can't tell you. Let's just say it
Speaker 4: was one hundred thousand dollars for per person to attend
Speaker 4: this yacht that you're going or mega yacht that you're
Speaker 4: going on, for this experience that you have for three days,
Speaker 4: they have you pay a very minimal amount. Like it
Speaker 4: is like us go into the four seasons? Did you
Speaker 4: have fun?
Speaker 3: And it was the only thing I saw as a
Speaker 3: clip you wrapping your arms and legs around your then fiance, Drew.
Speaker 4: He was not my fiance at that point, he was
Speaker 4: my boyfriend.
Speaker 5: Did he proposed on below deck? Please say no?
Speaker 4: He did not, damn it, and we were we were
Speaker 4: too new. But honestly, I hadn't kissed a man at
Speaker 4: that point in my life for probably like eight seven years,
Speaker 4: so years.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, well, by the time you got
Speaker 2: divorced from your ex husband, when was the last time
Speaker 2: you guys had kissed.
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know that. I just know it'd been
Speaker 4: a while. And I did like Drew and love I
Speaker 4: did love Drew. I did have a love for him.
Speaker 4: There's not there's no denying that. I'm not gonna say
Speaker 4: yes to a proposal to someone if I don't love
Speaker 4: them and feel like I can see our future working out.
Speaker 4: Did things start to happen in the last year and
Speaker 4: a half of our relationship. Yes, my mom's death is
Speaker 4: was just the There was no recovering from that because
Speaker 4: I was alone for twelve or twelve to fourteen days.
Speaker 4: I have to go back to the calendar. It's between.
Speaker 4: I flew out, thought I was leaving in three days,
Speaker 4: only packed two outfits. You guys would be proud of me,
Speaker 4: But I still packed a big suitcase.
Speaker 2: Was the only one that checked a bag, and I, honestly,
Speaker 2: I had to take deep breaths.
Speaker 4: I know, I'm sorry, but I did, and so I
Speaker 4: did keep doing laundry because I ended up staying for
Speaker 4: fourteen days and it did not My mom was passing
Speaker 4: over at this time, like she when I told her,
Speaker 4: she pat like she was like, okay, I'm going.
Speaker 3: And I was alone. I was alone with my brother
Speaker 3: flew out his meaning he wasn't there for you emotionally.
Speaker 4: I was just alone and I had to drive to
Speaker 4: the airport by myself two and a half hours after
Speaker 4: just sending the body bag off to the You know,
Speaker 4: it's just there's so much and it wasn't like we
Speaker 4: just I broke up with him pretty soon after that,
Speaker 4: but it wasn't like we it just ended. We were
Speaker 4: still it's an engagement.
Speaker 3: Now when we reconnected at Pravo Con, you were broken
Speaker 3: at the time time you had told me like that's we.
Speaker 5: I never forget it.
Speaker 3: You and I had this deep conversation with Andy Cohen
Speaker 3: standing over us.
Speaker 4: And I told you things I shouldn't have, but I
Speaker 4: was I was an open book because I.
Speaker 5: Don't think things you shouldn't have.
Speaker 4: I don't think so I mean that I was being
Speaker 4: We haven't spoken in how many years.
Speaker 3: I know what, we're both the same way. We just
Speaker 3: have like diarrhea of the mouth and we just talk
Speaker 3: and you know, we don't expect for somebody to a
Speaker 3: peak thing, and we didn't. And I never repeated anything,
Speaker 3: and I will not repeat anything that thank you said,
Speaker 3: but we've kind.
Speaker 4: Of thought, yeah, what I did tell you at that
Speaker 4: moment is not meant for this podcast.
Speaker 3: It was very yes, yes, but you what I'm trying
Speaker 3: to say is you were kind of you were in
Speaker 3: a bad place.
Speaker 5: Your mom had just passed.
Speaker 4: You know, just broken up with Drew, just had another
Speaker 4: life threatening family emergency.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so a lot of things had gone on in
Speaker 3: your life and you were just I don't think that
Speaker 3: Housewise was even in your it was it was.
Speaker 4: Not your focal point. But they did start reaching out
Speaker 4: pretty much right after that.
Speaker 5: So it was first they did after you went on
Speaker 5: stage and said that.
Speaker 4: And that was not my intention. By the way, now
Speaker 4: that's going to be said that, Oh first it's John
Speaker 4: Jansen is what got her back on the show, And
Speaker 4: then it's going to be that now it wasn't.
Speaker 5: It was funny.
Speaker 4: I thought it was, well, you got the audio.
Speaker 5: I was in the audience, we were rolling.
Speaker 4: Everybody needs a laugh. Okay, let's make fun of ourselves.
Speaker 5: I think that was a fine thing.
Speaker 4: I have sloppy seconds too, Okay, people, I'm not I'm
Speaker 4: not sitting here gonna pup fun.
Speaker 5: And then you know, I mean, you're not sloppy, but
Speaker 5: you are seconds right now.
Speaker 4: I got sloppy, So I got, I got and he's
Speaker 4: not sloppy, but I did get seconds of something. But
Speaker 4: this is what this is what makes me understand life
Speaker 4: is different now that you're forty seven finding love again.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to find a virgin. So guess what
Speaker 4: He's had sex with somebody at this point in his life.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: I have this gut feeling and I don't know if
Speaker 2: I'm just making it up, but I feel like probably.
Speaker 4: No, you don't even know where she's going. I know her.
Speaker 5: I could finish her sentences. I feel like you're about
Speaker 5: to get engaged. I do shells again?
Speaker 4: Well, is that because of the red carpet statement? When
Speaker 4: they asked us in John's answer and I froze, and
Speaker 4: John's answer.
Speaker 3: Was, by the way she can find out if somebody's
Speaker 3: pregnant before they're psychic.
Speaker 5: Jesus jugs Unfortunately.
Speaker 2: I do know if somebody is cheating, if somebody's lying,
Speaker 2: like I can always feel it.
Speaker 4: I am not swear you never said a word, because
Speaker 4: you do know some things that have happened in the
Speaker 4: past couple of months.
Speaker 2: No, she does not want because she doesn't tell me
Speaker 2: too much because then I'm going to come on the pod.
Speaker 5: And her mouth to be honest.
Speaker 2: But I feel like, and if he hasn't yet, or
Speaker 2: if you guys haven't looked at rings, I do feel
Speaker 2: like it's happening in the near future.
Speaker 4: So I'm doing it up. I will be honest with you.
Speaker 4: We have looked at rings and we are talking about it.
Speaker 4: It could happen tomorrow, it could happen six months from now.
Speaker 4: I just I do know it's coming because we've already
Speaker 4: talked about our entire future. We already have a plan
Speaker 4: in place.
Speaker 3: So will you let it be known on social media afterwards?
Speaker 4: I don't know, because I don't I don't know when
Speaker 4: it's It would depend on I don't know when it's
Speaker 4: going to happen. So I could say yes to that
Speaker 4: now and if it's six I don't don't.
Speaker 2: Know when, but let's say it's it doesn't happen within
Speaker 2: the next year.
Speaker 5: Would you would you want to leave?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: Like, do you have any and it's very organic? No,
Speaker 3: it's very organ How long have you been divorced? Now
Speaker 3: divorce six years. I'll have to be I'll be honest
Speaker 3: with you. I never thought that you would get divorced.
Speaker 3: I really thought neither did I Now I really did.
Speaker 3: This is this is something I want to touch and
Speaker 3: I love it. You're saying that because I feel like
Speaker 3: America thought I was living a facade and you honestly
Speaker 3: are in Heather always felt that there was something amiss
Speaker 3: with jem Andi.
Speaker 4: Yeah there's something, and that's okay because but we were
Speaker 4: still fighting for our marriage, both of us. We were
Speaker 4: in therapy. We were fighting, and we're not going to
Speaker 4: sit there and say no married couple that thinks, you know,
Speaker 4: you have three kids. You want your unit to stay together.
Speaker 4: You want to keep your family unit together. No one thinks,
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, I'm going to get divorced tomorrow and
Speaker 4: then we go tell old Universe. You know, I was
Speaker 4: still fighting for it and never believed divorce was an
Speaker 4: option at that point. I really didn't on the show.
Speaker 4: When I was on the show before. So now fast
Speaker 4: forward ten years later and I've been divorced six of
Speaker 4: those years. A lot of things crumbled and it was
Speaker 4: not the show. I'm letting you know right now, Housewives
Speaker 4: of Orange County is not what ruined my marriage, right there.
Speaker 2: Was a lot.
Speaker 3: I always say that when people say, oh, you know
Speaker 3: reality shows ruined marriages.
Speaker 5: No, your marriage is going to marriage. Yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 5: going to be highlighted.
Speaker 3: If you're on a shaky ground, it's going to get
Speaker 3: but it's also not I don't even believe that if
Speaker 3: you're on shaky ground, I don't think it's going to
Speaker 3: get worse.
Speaker 4: That can either build you or it can destroy you.
Speaker 4: I feel like the show, if you're meant to stay
Speaker 4: together and you both have the will in the way,
Speaker 4: you're going to stay together regardless of the show. The
Speaker 4: show is not what ruins people. And I know that
Speaker 4: they say Housewives has the curse because look at how
Speaker 4: you were divorced. So many people get divorced. I don't
Speaker 4: believe in that. Here's what I don't understand and where
Speaker 4: I want people to get where I'm coming from. I
Speaker 4: don't need to hide my private life just because somebody
Speaker 4: else dated the man I'm going to marry someday that
Speaker 4: I don't have to hide my life. If I did
Speaker 4: that a man to how many people's lives, I couldn't
Speaker 4: do anything. We couldn't. We couldn't do anything. I've been married,
Speaker 4: he's been married. We have We obviously loved those people.
Speaker 4: I was engaged. It's like we're our lives are so
Speaker 4: similar John and I is that it's like we don't.
Speaker 4: I have no jealousy, no regret about any of my
Speaker 4: past or jealousy towards his, what he had with anyone else.
Speaker 4: We only know what we have with each other. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's it.
Speaker 3: What do you have to say to the people that
Speaker 3: are saying, oh, alexis the only reason you're back on
Speaker 3: the show is because you're dating John Jansen?
Speaker 4: And I would say, I can totally see why you
Speaker 4: would think that, And it's not because I was talking
Speaker 4: to everybody before John's name even was in.
Speaker 2: My universe and the quiet woman picture wink if wink,
Speaker 2: if it's incorrect, But did you guys make out that night?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 4: No, Teddy, you don't know the story, do you? She knows?
Speaker 4: I know it. She knows the story.
Speaker 5: So you guys aren't.
Speaker 4: No, I don't. Really, you aren't sleeping together after Oh
Speaker 4: those are rumors?
Speaker 5: Are not having said? They do keep secrets?
Speaker 2: No, we only tell each other's secrets to one another,
Speaker 2: but like other people's, we don't because we know this
Speaker 2: is our job and it puts us in a compromising
Speaker 2: situation to know too much about other people on other shows,
Speaker 2: because then we can push each other and it's not authentic.
Speaker 4: I get it. I get it, because you do have
Speaker 4: to keep the authenticity for it to be a good show.
Speaker 4: And you guys have a great chemistry, so that's why
Speaker 4: people think you actually make it.
Speaker 5: But she does know all my secrets, and if you
Speaker 5: ever fucking cry, I would.
Speaker 4: Never, So don't talk about her.
Speaker 3: Hym Right, Okay, I have two, right, I've actually there's
Speaker 3: actually three, and I've seen them both, three, all three
Speaker 3: of them.
Speaker 4: Okay, so let me. I'm going to clear it up
Speaker 4: with you guys. You guys, this is an exclusive except
Speaker 4: people did already get this part of it. It is
Speaker 4: true that that night we met and we took that photo,
Speaker 4: and we asked Ricky and Ryan, who you know? Who
Speaker 4: are my good friends?
Speaker 3: I know Ricky, I don't know Ryan. That's his new husband, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's who I knew that because you were with Ricky,
Speaker 3: which Ricky was in my wedding, and I.
Speaker 5: Want to see the guy that did you dirty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Ricky was with her Lexus.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: What.
Speaker 4: I don't judge people. I can't.
Speaker 5: The person said judge people.
Speaker 4: Let me finish your last name.
Speaker 5: I don't judge friendships.
Speaker 3: If you want to be friends with somebody that I
Speaker 3: agree with that I just because I had a falling
Speaker 3: out with somebody doesn't mean you don't have to like.
Speaker 4: And if you have a party, you're going to say, Okay,
Speaker 4: Alexis is coming, Shannon is coming. You want to come?
Speaker 4: Come if you don't, yeah, I don't, I do.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So what happened that night was November eighteenth, I remembered
Speaker 4: as clear as day, and I was there with Ricky
Speaker 4: and Ryan and we were getting ready to leave. By
Speaker 4: the way, I officiated their wedding. Yeah, but we were
Speaker 4: getting ready to leave and paid the check and all,
Speaker 4: and then John sat down next in the booth next
Speaker 4: to me. At this time, I didn't even know who
Speaker 4: he was. He just there's people sat down and he
Speaker 4: was with a few other people, quite a few other
Speaker 4: people in the picture. There's like eight of us or something. Anyways,
Speaker 4: one woman that was with him is she wanted She
Speaker 4: was like, well, John's over there, and you guys were
Speaker 4: on the same show together. I go, really, and I
Speaker 4: look over and it's John, you know, and I'm like okay,
Speaker 4: and she's like, well, you guys should talk. So then
Speaker 4: their group ended up joining our table. We took that photo.
Speaker 4: We asked Ricky and Ryan John and I both looked
Speaker 4: at them and said almost in sync, and said, please
Speaker 4: do not post that, because you know, I literally just
Speaker 4: met the man two minutes ago, and I knew what
Speaker 4: would happen. Right.
Speaker 3: Let me guess Ricky posted.
Speaker 4: Ricky didn't understand my words, and he posted it. So
Speaker 4: then all the rumors I.
Speaker 2: Started, I cannot understand your words or does he like
Speaker 2: to have a little clout?
Speaker 4: Well, just he just posted it. He goes, I don't
Speaker 4: give a fuck what any one thinks. But that's not
Speaker 4: okay for me, because then of course it blew up around.
Speaker 4: The rumors start flying that I'm dating John Jansen, and
Speaker 4: that's when I got upset because I'm like, we're not dating.
Speaker 5: But did he get your number?
Speaker 1: That night?
Speaker 4: He did, and it was hard for him. It took
Speaker 4: him a moment, but we were talking, and then we
Speaker 4: planned a boating day together, all all eight of us,
Speaker 4: and then and then but we ended up spending almost
Speaker 4: every night on the phone together after that. I had
Speaker 4: him come down to San Clemente to go to the
Speaker 4: beach with me while I dropped one of my children
Speaker 4: off for two hours and we sat and talked on
Speaker 4: the beach, I mean, and there was no kissing, nothing.
Speaker 4: We stayed friends and we went to lunch. And then
Speaker 4: that's how that photo got leaked to TMZ, because someone
Speaker 4: at his private yacht club snapped a photo of us
Speaker 4: and sent it to TMZ. Rumors are they're still doing
Speaker 4: They're dating. We had not even held hands or touched
Speaker 4: or anything at this point. We're still friends. So I
Speaker 4: was getting starting to get really mad, okay, and then
Speaker 4: it was like we just couldn't fight it anymore. And
Speaker 4: then the friendship turned into what it was. And that's
Speaker 4: when everyone started seeing us out and we had to
Speaker 4: make a statement to America just that okay, yeah, we
Speaker 4: actually are dating. I didn't want people think you can.
Speaker 3: You ember you sent me a message.
Speaker 4: I tell you because you were in a podcast and
Speaker 4: I was on a podcast and I was sticking up
Speaker 4: for you. Guys were on your podcast and that you
Speaker 4: I heard you say that, well, because.
Speaker 3: EMIES and I were talking and I knew like the
Speaker 3: conversations that we had, you know, I'm like, no, these
Speaker 3: are not true.
Speaker 4: They're just friends. And that's what I and I told
Speaker 4: that because that's true. We were just friends.
Speaker 3: And then one day we were on the podcast and
Speaker 3: she texts me, you always text me I'm on the pod.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is or either that or
Speaker 3: I'm always on.
Speaker 4: The pod you are?
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, five days a week at nine am
Speaker 2: or on the pod.
Speaker 3: So so she's like, can you call me? There's something
Speaker 3: I have to tell you.
Speaker 4: Because I didn't want you to defend me anymore about
Speaker 4: it when it wasn't the truth, because I wanted you
Speaker 4: to know the truth, and we were one of the
Speaker 4: first people.
Speaker 3: It was like two months after you met him or
Speaker 3: something like that.
Speaker 2: I have to ask another question, what I had possibly
Speaker 2: seen at BRAVOCN or different times that I've hung out
Speaker 2: with John.
Speaker 5: They both were pretty big drinkers together.
Speaker 2: Is he still a big drinker, because it doesn't You're
Speaker 2: not a big drinker from what I've gathered.
Speaker 4: Okay, well here's the real of that. And yes I
Speaker 4: like alcohol and I have fun and party, but ian
Speaker 4: a big drinker. My mom passed away and I started
Speaker 4: to want to rely on something else for alcohol for
Speaker 4: my pain and I was over indulging. And so when
Speaker 4: I met John, I was not drinking at all. It
Speaker 4: was I took a three four. However, along my hiatus
Speaker 4: was I took time off, and I told John the
Speaker 4: first time I met him, even a quiet woman, when
Speaker 4: I met him, I wasn't drinking and we still went
Speaker 4: to Shamrock and danced and where we're He's just like,
Speaker 4: you don't want to Can I get you something? I
Speaker 4: was not, and Ricky and Ryan were like, just have one,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, you, guys, I'm not. It's good. I
Speaker 4: went that long time. He literally every time, even as
Speaker 4: a friend or when we became more, would not drink
Speaker 4: one drop out of respect for you, out to respect
Speaker 4: for me. And then he got stem cells. Three months
Speaker 4: into our relationship, he got stem cells and he can't
Speaker 4: drink then, So then I support, I was ready to start,
Speaker 4: and I'm like I can have a glass like I
Speaker 4: could have a slipper champagne, I can have a glass
Speaker 4: of wine. And he was doing that and he had
Speaker 4: supported me, so I'm like, I'm not doing it. So
Speaker 4: we went six to seven months of our relationship without
Speaker 4: any alcohol and we just now started like here and there,
Speaker 4: we'll have a glass of wine.
Speaker 2: Or so when you had sex for the first time,
Speaker 2: was had Were you guys completely sober?
Speaker 4: Totally?
Speaker 5: Yes? That was a weird question.
Speaker 4: That is a very rare Why is everyone drunk on
Speaker 4: the first time they ever have sex? I met?
Speaker 2: Was it a wild, crazy first night or was it
Speaker 2: just like passion intimate?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, how many times did day you have sex?
Speaker 2: No, if you say door like Larsa, I'm going to
Speaker 2: lose it.
Speaker 4: Well it's more than that.
Speaker 5: But whoa Alexis? Are the rumors true?
Speaker 2: As he hung like a horse, Alexis, laid down and
Speaker 2: unzip your pants because if you're having sex, I.
Speaker 4: Did not know, donnically didn't know this was I told
Speaker 4: him I didn't know the human am anatomy could do this,
Speaker 4: Like I did not know. And because I keep telling him,
Speaker 4: I'm going to have to get like vaginal rejuvens.
Speaker 3: I feel like the best sex of your life.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 3: I mean, well, there's a lot of rumors about what
Speaker 3: he's passed. I am not going to talk about my
Speaker 3: when was the last of you?
Speaker 5: And that he had sex five times in one day?
Speaker 3: Well, by the way, keep it my nineteen ninety five guys,
Speaker 3: keep up.
Speaker 4: Keep in mind. The difference is we do stay together
Speaker 4: almost seven nights a week now, but through our relationship
Speaker 4: it has progressed to that because I have three kids still,
Speaker 4: so we can't stay the night every single night together
Speaker 4: unless he wants to come to me. I'll come over
Speaker 4: to his house twice a month, twice a week, I'll
Speaker 4: stay there, and then one night a week. We're really apart.
Speaker 4: So it's not like you guys are married. It's just different.
Speaker 5: We hold on. Is there a big break in between?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I need to know, Like, if you're having
Speaker 2: sex four to five times a day, how long is
Speaker 2: the break in between?
Speaker 5: Like I remember when you first get.
Speaker 3: With somebody, is it like passing in the hallway You're like, hey,
Speaker 3: you want to bang one out?
Speaker 2: Like five times a day?
Speaker 1: Die?
Speaker 4: My poor children and his children have to listen to this.
Speaker 3: So, okay, there was a time where you had to
Speaker 3: turn off your comments on your Instagram because anytime you
Speaker 3: would post about John so times.
Speaker 5: Your comments you're what you would write in your post.
Speaker 2: I was like, she's looking for people to come in,
Speaker 2: and that's it rich from you.
Speaker 5: I know, and I did, but also comment.
Speaker 4: You know what, guys, I am not having a social
Speaker 4: media account that I have to squelch myself. I squelched
Speaker 4: myself for too many years of my life, and now
Speaker 4: I lost a lot in my life. Now I'm not
Speaker 4: squelching for anything. I feel like everyone's like, why are
Speaker 4: you throwing it in everyone's face. I'm not throwing on
Speaker 4: anyone's face. Get off my Instagram. There's seven million people
Speaker 4: you can follow. Don't follow me if you don't want
Speaker 4: to see my life.
Speaker 5: No, I agree with you today.
Speaker 4: I agree.
Speaker 5: You won me over on the plane and I followed
Speaker 5: you after me.
Speaker 4: That's all I know.
Speaker 2: I said that, just warned you know what I Today
Speaker 2: we're at baggage Claim and I looked at my Instagram
Speaker 2: and I said, Alexis, we're about to spend some time together.
Speaker 5: I think it's time that I followed you.
Speaker 4: Only did that for the podcast.
Speaker 6: You about anything for the pot Oh my god, I'm
Speaker 6: gonna have to ask you a question now.
Speaker 3: Fans have come forward and insinuated that you and I
Speaker 3: have only mended our friendship because of the show and
Speaker 3: trying to get back at Shannon and all those kind
Speaker 3: of things. When we got back together, me and Shannon
Speaker 3: were still in a good place.
Speaker 4: And by the way, you didn't even know John Jansen
Speaker 4: and I were going to happen, because I hadn't met
Speaker 4: John Jansen yet, so there was no You did not
Speaker 4: even know, and you didn't even know I was getting
Speaker 4: talked to by producers for the show.
Speaker 3: Again, you didn't tell none of this.
Speaker 4: None of this was in your mind when you and
Speaker 4: I made up, not one thing soon.
Speaker 5: It was magical moment.
Speaker 4: Still, it was a magical moment. I was still two
Speaker 4: or three weeks from ever even knowing John Jansen at all.
Speaker 2: Something else that came up was I guess Megan King
Speaker 2: Ques John of love bombing you. And then there was
Speaker 2: some back and forth about this, what is your thoughts
Speaker 2: on because this does not anything to do with the show,
Speaker 2: so we can talk about it.
Speaker 4: I just hate giving any of these people that used
Speaker 4: to be my friends or thought they were my friends,
Speaker 4: that decide they want to do that and do it
Speaker 4: in the media, who are looking for a moment in
Speaker 4: the spotlight to write John and I's unbelievably like horrible
Speaker 4: at this point media coverage because we're the most hated
Speaker 4: people in America, Like we are hated right now.
Speaker 5: I can assure you I hated.
Speaker 4: I'm hated way more John I. John and Eye's relationship
Speaker 4: is so hated. And I don't even want to give
Speaker 4: two cents to her or a couple others who have
Speaker 4: gone to the media. If you're my true friend and
Speaker 4: you're worried about somebody love bombing me, pick up the
Speaker 4: fucking phone and call me and text me because you
Speaker 4: have my number. So guess what it's not. It's not
Speaker 4: a true friendship. And I'm also fucking pissed about it.
Speaker 3: Can you tell I saw you my body lange like,
Speaker 3: I like, I'm like my heart is about tobout myself.
Speaker 4: You're not a true friend.
Speaker 5: You are literally doing it for media exposure.
Speaker 3: We have talked several times. Yes, Megan and I I
Speaker 3: thought how I love I do love her.
Speaker 4: She could have done as call me after she knew
Speaker 4: she really hurt my feelings and said I'm so sorry,
Speaker 4: Like that's how you down and talk. I think that
Speaker 4: you don't need to sit down and talk. And then
Speaker 4: how do you think that Vicky feels about parent because
Speaker 4: Vicky is also one that has decided to jump onto the.
Speaker 5: Well not I wasn't even gonna say.
Speaker 3: I will sayin i've ever met in my entire life.
Speaker 2: Do we think that Vicky is jealous that you're an
Speaker 2: official friend of at this point?
Speaker 4: Is that a title? Official friend of me?
Speaker 5: Just not a question, that's a statement.
Speaker 4: Official friend of means you're a piece of shit. You
Speaker 4: didn't join the cast full So no, I mean nothing
Speaker 4: to be jealous of.
Speaker 5: Do you think that you will move in together with
Speaker 5: John before getting married?
Speaker 4: Well, we've talked all these things through also, but well
Speaker 4: probably we We probably will keep both houses. My twins
Speaker 4: are still in high school and they're not out of
Speaker 4: high school for two years, so I don't think there's
Speaker 4: a move in looking in the future before marriage. I
Speaker 4: think it would probably be after and my kids. One
Speaker 4: of my kids is going to stay with me and
Speaker 4: live in my house. The other one is going to go,
Speaker 4: so I'll still have a child for a while with me,
Speaker 4: So I don't know. We are looking at all Avenue.

Speaker 3: story about James. So I'm in the middle of a
Speaker 3: lawsuit with your ex husband.
Speaker 4: Which I had no by the way, which I had

Speaker 3: So we were at a restaurant, Eddie and I and
Speaker 3: James was working at the restaurant. He came up and
Speaker 3: he's like, Tara, hi, and I'm like hi, and he goes,
Speaker 3: I'm James Billino. And I just went my.

Speaker 3: and he was so kind and so sweet.
Speaker 4: And my kids are good. My kids are so amazing,
Speaker 4: and they don't let a lot of things fade. They
Speaker 4: just they just are strong individuals and they know kindness
Speaker 4: is the way through the world. And at the time,
Speaker 4: you and I weren't in a great place. We weren't
Speaker 4: well we.
Speaker 1: Were, we weren't in a bad place.
Speaker 4: Now we were still. I was still commenting on some
Speaker 4: of your Instagram and we were doing something.

Speaker 3: live show and all that.
Speaker 4: We weren't like, Yeah, we weren't good, good place, but
Speaker 4: it was weren't get made up. Let's say we had
Speaker 4: kissed and made up. Yes, what I'm saying is you're
Speaker 4: a good Oh thank you. I just have good kids.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I love that for you.
Speaker 4: She's going to sleep in my room tonight, not yours.
Speaker 5: Let's see where everybody ends up.
Speaker 4: Oh god, it might be all four of us.
Speaker 2: Other than Tam Right, you cannot do you have to
Speaker 2: cut her out of this equation the play but killed No.
Speaker 5: Probably well no, because I mean we've already crossed over on.
Speaker 4: Hold on, I have something to ask you.
Speaker 5: Oh you Oh, I forgot about the bony because.
Speaker 4: Because you have been a little dirty to my man,
Speaker 4: I have Okay, So I just wonder where you get
Speaker 4: those feelings.
Speaker 3: When you're inside it and you know the truth. You
Speaker 3: your eyes are wide open and you're like, it's so
Speaker 3: annoying and you want to fight for him because what
Speaker 3: the public knows about him is not the truth.
Speaker 4: You can figure out and piece together what you want
Speaker 4: on this, but there's a lot of this part of
Speaker 4: the story that you don't There's there's there's so much
Speaker 4: to the truth, Teddy that you don't know. John is
Speaker 4: one of the kindest, nicest, most generous, amazing, god fearing
Speaker 4: humans I know, and gives back to the world and
Speaker 4: constantly keeps getting beat down and still tries to rise
Speaker 4: above that.
Speaker 3: Like I think the thing that people don't know about
Speaker 3: John is John raised his kids by himself. He was
Speaker 3: a single dad that raises kids, and that says a
Speaker 3: lot for a man. There is no mother, did amazing
Speaker 3: and never missed a soccer turn. I never missed any
Speaker 3: never missed one thing with his kids, and his kids
Speaker 3: are unbelievably incredible.
Speaker 2: I love them and there's nothing more that I love
Speaker 2: than as much as we joke about me wanting to
Speaker 2: be a know at all than to be proven wrong.
Speaker 2: So so we'll be proven wrong this season too, because
Speaker 2: the truth will come out. Yeah, and in a lighter
Speaker 2: note other than Tam you cannot bring her into this
Speaker 2: on the show.
Speaker 5: Who do you feel like you have the closest relationship with?
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously Heather and I are tight.
Speaker 5: Who would you tell your secrets to Heather?
