Alexis Bellino reacted to Shannon Storms Beador’s recent claim that she and ex John Janssen were dating again before her DUI arrest. Alexis, who began her own relationship with John not long after the accident, claimed Shannon has an “obsession” with John and is “exploiting” their relationship for sympathy.

Meanwhile, The Quiet Woman restaurant – where Shannon eats often, and where John met Alexis for the first time – confirmed that Alexis has been eating there “for decades.” Alexis shared this detail on the Real Housewives of Orange County season premiere, as fans were upset because the new couple met at Shannon’s favorite haunt.
In a July 13 Instagram post, Alexis reacted to a People Magazine article concerning Shannon’s claim that she and John were dating again before the DUI – following their earlier breakup.
“I know whatever I’ll write I’ll be painted as the mean girl, but I’ll gladly take the public beating if it will calm the Storms,” wrote Alexis in response to Shannon’s claim. “Shannon, your obsession with John needs to end.”
“I know my relationship with John has been a saving grace for you, as you have been eagerly mentioning our names in every interview in an effort to bypass all accountability for your arrest,” she went on. “I ask you with all sincerity to please stop exploiting us in your manipulative sympathy tour.”
“John and I just want to live happily in peace,” she insisted. “And we wish you the same.”
Around the same time, The Quiet Woman restaurant wrote a post confirming that Alexis has been eating there for many years.
“We 🤍 you [Alexis]! We’ve known you for decades,” wrote @thequietwomancdm. “You are as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside! – Lynne & Terri.”
Alexis then responded, “Thanks for the shoutout @thequietwomancdm !!!! Love you guys too♥️.”
But as fans began speculating that the restaurant was ‘Team Alexis,’ the account then addressed Shannon.
The owner reacted to a screenshot of a WWHL poll asking: “Does Shannon ‘own’ The Quiet Woman?”
“You might not own the restaurant, but you definitely own our hearts [Shannon]!” wrote @thequietwomancdm, via @bravosnarkside on Instagram. “Thank you for all of your QW love over the years! … We LOVE you!”
