Alexis Bellino Exits 'Real Housewives of Orange County' After Season 18

The reality star confirmed she was not asked to return for season 19 following a contentious comeback and ongoing feuds with cast members.

Alexis Bellino announced on the 'Going Rogue' podcast that she will not return for season 19 of 'The Real Housewives of Orange County.'
Bellino, who rejoined the show in season 18 after a decade-long absence, said the decision did not come as a surprise to her.
Her return was marked by significant clashes with longtime cast member Shannon Beador, including tensions over Bellino's engagement to Beador's ex-boyfriend, John Janssen.
Bellino expressed mixed feelings about her departure, noting it was both a relief and a familiar experience as she was previously let go after season 8.
Season 18 of 'RHOC' achieved its highest ratings in five years, averaging 3.1 million viewers, though Bravo has not yet confirmed the cast for the upcoming season.
