Bravo aired The Real Housewives of Orange County's eighteenth season's episode 14 on October 10, 2024. The recent episode featured an intense situation caused by Alexis Bellino's old text message. Everything started after Shannon Beador found an old text from Alexis.
Fans might remember Alexis and her now ex-husband Jim Bellino's lawsuit in 2018. Two fellow The Real Housewives of Orange County stars, Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge, were named in it. When Shannon confronted Alexis about the same, she declined, having been involved in that lawsuit.

The Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador reveals old text from Alexis and more details
The fourteenth episode of the RHOC Season 18 revealed shocking details about fellow housewife Alexis Bellino. As viewers are well aware, the previous episode featured Shannon texting Alexis about not being invited to the Europe trip that she had planned with her friends.
When sending a text to Alexis, Shannon saw an old text from 2018 that Alexis had sent. For the fans who might not remember, Alexis and her ex-husband Jim Bellino were allegedly involved in filing a defamation lawsuit against Shannon and Tamra.
For that, the recent 14th episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County featured an old clip, stated as "Months earlier," where Alexis could be seen in a conversation with Shannon:
Alexis could be seen claiming,
"If you go back to any court document and anything else, show me the proof of my name being on anything because Jim and I have been divorced for six months …"
Referring to that incident, Shannon again had an intense chat with Alexis during the 18th season premiere. Not only did she decline, but she told Shannon about getting proof of the same.
Recently, when The Real Housewives of Orange County star was messaging Alexis to uninvite her, she came across an old text dated June 27, 2018.
The text from Alexis read,
"Shannon, Everything you and Tamra have said in the media since the divorce are lies. We have engaged an attorney and will be suing you and Tamra for slander and defamation. You're insensitive and false allegations come at a very difficult time for our family."
It continued,
"When you dirorced, Jim and I left you alone and never said a negative thing in the media regarding you two. Just know, You will be hearing from our attorney tomorrow. Alexis."
When Shannon shared this information, with the receipt with fellow housewife Gina Kirschenheiter, she referred to Alexis as the "biggest" liar.
"Who is the biggest liar? Alexis. Lies, and lies, and lies. Alexis, you are a liar," Gina confessed.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star could be seen referring to the old text she found as a "smoking gun."
"I’m not doing this anymore. So if you want to go on the bandwagon and get on your platform and say, 'Shannon Beador's a liar,' then you right ahead," shared Shannon.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star added that she had taken such responsibility while in the "hardest year" of her life and was doing her best.
