Shannon Beador said her ex John Janssen’s relationship with Alexis Bellino is moving at the “same speed” as her own past relationship with the 61-year-old, and reveals what John allegedly told her “two weeks into” their budding romance. She also suggested that he has a “love-bombing program.”
This season on the Real Housewives of Orange County, castmates have questioned the velocity of John’s relationship with Alexis, who recently returned to the show. Not long after they started dating, John apparently bought her a $16,000 ‘promised’ ring, which she showcased on social media. Now, John and Alexis are discussing marriage.
He’s also suing Shannon, claiming she refused to pay him back for a $75,000 loan for plastic surgery. Shannon, however, has maintained that the money was a gift.
In an interview for BravoTV, via @byewighellodrama on Instagram, Shannon addressed Alexis’ ‘promised’ ring.
“John didn’t know what Van Cleef & Arpels was until he met me,” she said, referring to the French jewelry maker that designed it. “So, good for you Alexis that you got that ring.”
“John and Alexis’ relationship is moving at the same speed that my relationship moved with John,” Shannon went on. “Literally two weeks into the relationship, he said, ‘You’re my person. You’re my future.’ And my answer was, ‘I know,’ cause I felt very comfortable with him. And I guess at two weeks, I think he said the same thing to her.”
Shannon suggested it’s a pattern.
“It looks like John Janssen has a love-bombing program,” she said, before addressing Alexis’ use of her gym. “John and I worked out at the same gym so I thought it was odd that after visiting the gym twice, Alexis coined it ‘her gym.’”
“I have no control over what gym you go to. Do I go there now? No,” she continued. “I have zero intention of spending any time with [Alexis]. I will have to see her across the couch at the reunion, but she won’t be there long cause she’s a ‘friend.’”
