Drama is brewing once again on The Real Housewives of Orange County, and Alexis Bellino is not holding back. In a fiery interview on Reality with the King with Carlos King, Alexis unleashed her unfiltered thoughts on co-stars Gretchen Rossi and Katie Ginella, accusing them of spinning a web of lies around a 2008 incident involving Tamra Judge. With allegations of roofies, conflicting stories, and shady voice memos, Alexis is calling out what she sees as a ridiculous attempt to stir up old drama for clout.
The controversy stems from a 2008 party filmed for RHOC, where Tamra was caught whispering about getting Gretchen “naked wasted.” Fast forward to the current season, and Tamra dropped a bombshell, claiming Katie told a reporter that Gretchen accused her of trying to roofie her that night. The accusation set off a chain reaction of he-said-she-said, with Gretchen initially seeming to confirm she visited a hospital the morning after the party, only to later backtrack on her story. Katie, meanwhile, first denied leaking anything to the press but later admitted Gretchen had indeed made the allegations against Tamra.
Alexis, never one to shy away from the spotlight, didn’t mince words when asked if she believes Gretchen fed Katie the story about Tamra. “One million percent, after watching the whole episode,” she declared with conviction. “Both Katie and Gretchen got caught lying and saying one thing and then saying the other.” For Alexis, the solution is simple: own up to the truth from the start. “Why are we rehashing something that happened 12 freaking years ago?” she questioned, pointing out that the incident wasn’t about an affair or anything monumental—just a “stupid little drinking fest” comment that Tamra has since outgrown.
Alexis didn’t stop there. She expressed shock at the layers of deception, particularly from Katie, whom she once praised. “I’m shocked at how the lies are just coming around and around, and no one’s learning from their mistake,” she said. Alexis revealed that her trust in Katie crumbled after being “burned” by her. She recounted an earlier incident this season where Katie showed her a voice memo of Shannon Beador in a heated moment, only to later deny sharing it. “She shows me the audio [of Shannon] that she [later] wants to take back and [claim] she didn’t show me,” Alexis said, exasperated. “Hello, I’m not going to lie about it. Nor would I know everything that was said on that [voice memo] if you hadn’t let me listen to the whole minute-and-a-half.”
As for Gretchen, Alexis took a sharp jab at her confessional look, likening it to a “Stepford Wives cartoon”—a biting critique that adds fuel to the already sizzling feud. Alexis suggested that both women’s flip-flopping stories and attempts to dodge accountability are not only transparent but also absurd. “Just [fess] up at the beginning,” she urged, questioning why they’re dredging up a 12-year-old moment to create drama.
Tamra, for her part, has admitted her “naked wasted” comment was in poor taste but has since evolved, according to Alexis. The accusation that Tamra tried to drug Gretchen seems to be a stretch, and Alexis is firmly in Tamra’s corner, calling out the inconsistencies in Gretchen and Katie’s narratives. “I’ve seen the true colors the other women are saying,” Alexis noted, emphasizing that the mounting evidence of lies has shifted her perspective.
As the RHOC drama unfolds, Alexis Bellino is standing her ground, unafraid to call out what she sees as a fabricated and overblown story. With shade thrown, lies exposed, and old wounds reopened, this season is proving to be a wild ride—and Alexis is here for every second of it.
