The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Jennifer Pedranti is applauding Shannon Beador for sticking through a difficult season with Alexis Bellino.
“Can you imagine being Shannon?” Jennifer, 47, asked on a recent episode of the “Chanel in the City” podcast. “I say that to [my fiancé] Ryan all the time. I love Alexis, but if I had to film next season and now that it’s Ryan and his new [girlfriend], I don’t know if I could do it. I just give Shannon so much credit for being able to even show up.”
During season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, viewers watched Shannon, 60, come face-to-face with her ex John Janssen’s new girlfriend.
As John, 64, continued his love story with Alexis, 47, he sued Shannon during filming, claiming she owed him $75,000 for a procedure. (They have since settled with Shannon agreeing to pay $60,000.)
Alexis Bellino and John Janssen have seen an “overwhelming” level of hate since their Real Housewives of Orange County feud with his ex-girlfriend Shannon Beador. “What’s so difficult is that it’s, like, we’re in a vortex where all of the hate is based on things that aren’t true,” John, 62, exclusively told Us at the […]
“The Alexis and Shannon [situation] is so hard because I did not know Alexis prior to this. She comes in. She’s precious to me,” Jennifer said to host and stand-up comedian Chanel Omari. “She’s so positive about her relationship with John. I knew the relationship Shannon had with John and the pain that I see in Shannon. You feel so sad. You know she’s going through so much.”
Jennifer decided that when she’s with Shannon, she’s fully present and not talking about Alexis.
“Their problems cannot make me choose a side,” she said. “I don’t want to do that. It’s not fair.”
When Jennifer recorded her podcast interview with Omari before the three-part reunion aired on Bravo, the Devi Rebel Yoga instructor expressed her hope that Alexis “should have stepped out of it a little bit.”
“This was John and Shannon’s problem,” Jennifer explained. “And she just came in so hard and fast about it, that maybe it would have been better for Alexis had she let it be between John and Shannon. We were filming and this was all happening. So it was just so heightened for them the whole time.”
After part 3 of the RHOC reunion aired on Thursday, November 21, Alexis assured viewers that “truth prevails.”

“John and I will bring them in our own voice,” she wrote via Instagram. “Unfortunately, this season made a hit show at my and John’s expense. I thought my beating all season would be finally advocated for at the reunion and the truth would prevail. Sometimes God has a different plan. I will now use my own platform and my voice to share the truth with you because I do not live in toxicity, falsehoods, hateful behavior, victim hood or lies.”
As for Shannon, she stated she has no interest in filming with Alexis in season 19 or beyond.
“I’d be grateful to come back [to the show],” Shannon exclusively told Us Weekly on November 14. “But if Alexis Bellino comes back, sorry, not gonna be around [her].”
