    Alexis Bellino

    Leave Vicki Alone

    Alexis wishes someone had just been straight with Vicki and the clambake and reflects on her tough time with Jim.

    Apr 8

    I felt bad for Vicki this entire episode. I think it shows a lot of guts to walk outside of your own home only two weeks after surgery. Yes, Vicki is definitely swollen, but she is a much braver person than me -- and I commend her for going to the party.

    It was ridiculous for everyone to stand around and gossip about Vicki and how swollen she was rather than just asking her what she did. It probably would have broken the ice and helped if one of the women would have pulled her aside and acted like they cared to know what Vicki had just done to her face. There is definitely no hiding it, so may as well confront it. And what if, by some chance, her face would have stayed that swollen forever. Wouldn’t they have felt bad for gossiping about it behind her back if that were the case?

    The badgering of Vicki doesn’t stop with her surgery either. It continues with her relationship status with Brooks. I completely disagree when Gretchen claims that Vicki is lying about her relationship. Vicki is simply being vague, and it's because no matter what answer she gives to them she is judged for it. Yes, Vicki and Brooks are on-again-off-again a lot, but she is being guarded when they ask her, and I can hardly blame her. Vicki acts vague about it because she knows Gretchen is not a true friend and she is tired of being judged about her relationship.

    Alexis, I really enjoy watching you on the show and glad you are back!  As you know, it is not worth the stress, fame, family, health or money to be placed in a "Let's pick on Alexis Show!"  I truly believe these women, especially Tamera and Gretchen are JEALOUS, MEAN and INSECURE girls. These girls need drama and are clueless being a girlfriend that can drop you in a hot second. Tamera is out for Tamera and does not take responsiblity for her actions.  Remember her LAST husband, when he could not give her the jewels - it was hello Eddie. Eddie needs to realize that Tamera with her 4 children and Loud Potty mouth is the FAKE and EVIL of ALL.  Run Eddie, it's not worth the $80,000.00 in the business. Did anyone catch that comment Tamera made about Italy last week? A true wannabe!!      It was not fair for Getchen to bring up San Fran., how many years has that been?  How many comments could be brought up Gretchen said (rightfully so) about Tamera?   Then there is Heather, where would that control freak be without her husband?  Just how long will he allow her to put him down?  Alexis, you are my favorite on the OC.  But of all the Shows of Housewives, OC is the most FAKE women of all except Kenya of Atlanta and Teresa of New Jeresy!     Alexis, stay strong to your faith and your beautiful family.  Love your new hair cut!

    Alexis, I think you're really a sweet, naive girl. I'm glad you "came clean" in your blog.  You still mentioned financial security which I think we all know as a self employed person is not always there! Vicki's a big girl and can fight her own battles but will not be there to fight for you!

    Vicki knew exactly what she was doing by inviting Alexis to Tamara's dinner.  Alexis and  the new girl ought to steer very cleaer of Vicki, who has proven year after year to be toxic.  Unfortunately, Alexis, truly isn't that bright and played it all wrong.  If she were smart, she would have sat silently, exuding a bit of humility.  Then again, there's a fine line between pride and stupidity.

    Alexis honey I think you handled yourself tonight with class and grace. You didn't allow yourself to get on their level, keep it up, Gretchen could take a few lessons from you on what it means to be a real friend!! Hugs & love to you girl!!

    Jodibelle 1490 pts

    I like Alexis, but I hope she's careful in getting too deeply invested in Vicki.  Vicki likes to control.  Tamra became too independent for Vicki.  Gretchen always was too independent for Vicki.  Vicki wants friend who she can tell to "do this" "wear this" "Eat this" blah blah blah.  When they take control of their own lives, Vicki loses it.

    Alexis, you are my favorite!!!  You truly know what it means to be a friend and Gretchen had a very good friend in you.  I don't know what she based her decision on to dump you and become bff's with Tamara. I am glad you have decided to move on, because you do not need her.  Stay true to who you are and love your family and you will be just fine!!

    omg.......you  and Vicki are far from being bullied.  You're simply enduring the aftermath of a storm of your own makings.......lolol

    Alexis, I think you are a beautiful lady. I feel that you get nervous on the show and around the girls so you say the wrong things. I don't blame you, you never know what they are going to ask or say. I like that you took a step back and stopped trying to dip into too many things this season. I also feel that Tamra is a bully. She may not think so but it comes across that way. I back you up regarding your wedding ring. I also wear a CZ in place of my real ring and mine is also in the safe. I have knocked the stone out a couple of times. I unveil it for special dates with my husband. I want you to avoid invites from the lady vultures. Which would be Tamra. And I am hoping that Heather doesn't turn either. As far as Heather telling Lydia you wear  a fake ring, Heather should of not done that. I was surprized she mentioned it.

    Just watch out. You are too nice and caring and these girls just can't stop. I guess it makes for good TV.

    It's your family and husband that matter in your life. If your happy, I am happy for you!

    You and Jim seem very happy this season. It's nice to see y'all laughing and joking with one another. Keep your head up and don't listen to unsolicited advice, which is disguised as a "caring intervention"

    Kathy Griffin calls people out for their actions, and is funny when she does it. Slade simply makes cruel remarks without any humor or wit. She poked fun at your bumbling interviews with Fox - something Bravo replayed this season when you claimed you weren't fired. You're on a reality show exposing your life to make money -pretty hypocritical to say Kathy Griffin does anything for a buck.

    Why afre you even on the show? I thought you were gone. Do you need the money that badly. You really need to get over yourself this year if you expect to come back another year. Why do you think you were bullied. From what I saw they were just giving you their opinions about your behaviour. Lets face it, Alexis, you are somewhat of a snob.

     sedgrlHeather has the bucks but doesn't brag on it. Alexis pretends to be something she is not. Did you know Sky Zone is a franchise. It is not the brain child of the Belinnos. Another thing that is fake about them. Nothing wrong with having a franchise but don't pretend it was your idea exclusively.

    What was the difference of how you (and the ladies) approached Vicki years ago at the restaurant & how the ladies approached you in CR?  You did it with Vicki's daughter there!~~ Stop demeaning those that are truly effected by bullying. You & Kelly Bensimone are pathetic !

    WhoDoesThat 1393 pts

    The difference is Alexis can dish it out but cannot take it. Alexis believes herself to be on a higher plane than the rest of us. Alexis believes that if she says something, then it must be true. Alexis believes that if she tells us she is a good christian, then we will look past all of her sins and think she is a good christian.

    Alexis lied through her teeth all last season (happy marriage, rented homes, counting cars) to the women and the fans. She threw her fake wealth and jewelry around and got mad when the others got sick of it. She was flat broke, living in a rented home, and having major marriage problems. She says she was bullied because it helps take some of her guilt away for all the lies. Not working.

    OrangeTreeGolfer 9 pts

    Wait a moment! I thought last season the house they lived in was rented as there was a whole episode of the ladies talking about this. They just bought and moved into their new home-well if they rented last year (correct me please if my memory is incorrect) how can they lose money in the market on a house they do not own??? I am also confused by the words of Alexis stating she wants it all-to me that means independence as a woman as well. Stating I belong in the kitchen and at home is not having it all-that is being controlled. Before any of Alexis's followers out there slam me, maybe you should hear what her ex husband has to say about Alexis while they were married and what happened right after they moved to California. There is more to life than money and what it can buy. It cannot buy you class or respect-those traits are born with and earned.

    I love Alexis! You are beautiful and a good person and those mean girls are just jealous. Karma will come back to haunt them. I don't understand how people say what happened in Costa Rica wasn't bullying. Just because it isn't happening on a daily constant basis doesn't change what obviously happened. they ganged up in a pack to attack and hurt you for no reason other than making themselves feel good. It is truly disgusting and shows the true character of Tamra and her black angry heart. Heather jumping in when she doesn't even know you to try and feel powerful, and Gretchen is just terrible. It's like watching the sharks smell blood and dive in to devour. It is a good thing that you got to see who Gretchen really is before wasting any more time in a friendship with her. She did the same thin with Lynn and it is obvious that she gets jealous by the success of others so she has to try to humiliate and bring them down. Then she try's to get attention by acting like a ditzy blonde (Jessica Simpson wannabe) or pretending that she is such a good friend and it hurts her so much but she needs to help you. Bull, a TRUE friend would have warned you before you sat down and either defended you or said NOTHING. And if she was really trying to help you in some way she would have taken you aside privately and talked to you. Not wait until you we're blindsided then add fuel to the fire and kick you when you are already down. It really infuriates me that there are people who are this horrible and heartless in the world. They truly deserve all the strong hatred that they have earned for themselves through their treatment of you. Don't let them get you down even a second. Enjoy and be confident in the beautiful,nice,thoughtful, sweet,good and truly amazing person that you are and let Gretchen, Tamra and Heather eat your dust and their hearts out as all of your wildest dreams come true. And you live happily ever after in a beautiful life that would never allow them to step foot in it.

    Inspite of Alexis' dragging God to a lot of her sentences, and her imagined wealth and a few other delusions in the past, I always like Alexis because there is the lovliness inside that one can sense. And most of the time, her block seems to see the situation fairly and clearly. I totally agree with you that Vicki did not 'lie' to those women about Brooks, she is just vague and it is her perjorative. Those two meanines ( Gretchen and Tamra ) misunderstand the and presume that they have the right to know exactly the private life of someone they are not even on good term with. How weird. Kudo to you for pointing out the difference. I like your new hairdo, your husband seems nicer and softer, and happier. So this new life is much better to you and your family. You don't have to be smart or rich like Heather but you are becoming more endearing than anyone on the show because of your good heart. And you should be proud to wear all the fake diamond rings because you are not fake inside.

    The biggest lies are the ones we tell ourselves" & this chickadee is so out of touch with reality..Listen If everyone is saying the same thing & various ppl are reporting to ur friends the same exact thing regarding you & ur husband's rude & obnoxious behavior,than take notes!!! don't dismiss it w/ stupid labels like "bullying", that was NOT bullying, they were being honest with you, something a phony doesn't understand..you should of humble urself in order to grow from it, rather than being a big cry baby.. Clearly, you & ur husband are new money, cause only new money talks about their money. Your an extremely competitive person, no one risk their lives going under the knife that many times, without an agenda, trapping a rich man or whatever!..You've had a ton of work done to look like Barbie,which adds to your fake persona.btw,.You & ur husband want to live in a fake worl"d where ppl tell you what you want to hear, (lies).. smoke and mirrors...that's why you can't handle the truth & react so childish.

    Alexis, please stop saying that you are being bullied. There is a huge difference from having people be mean and catty towards you than being bullied. Bullying is a very serious problem in our society and you are making a mockery out of it. Victims of bullying actively try to avoid their tormentors, they dont go to social functions that the bullys are hosting. YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM OF BULLYING. Please inform yourself before you speak.

    Alexis,

    You should really understand the definition of bullying because what happened to you was not bullying. If a group of people are discussing something about you to help improve yourself, that is advice. Verbal hurting your feelings over something like your outfit or your hairstyle in a demeaning way, is bullying. Trying to help you better  your character is not. Quit putting up a front about how you have the perfect marriage and quit playing the victim that everyone is after you, it's getting old and annoying. I can't wait to see next week's episode when Tamra kicks you out of her party. So Long "Jesus Jugs!!!!!"

    Alexis, For Jim, I just want to say that this first episode really shows that you are a good person. The past seasons I wouldn't say so.. You seemed to not appreciate your wife's opinions or treat her as an equal. You seemed very shovanistic and controlling. I commend you because I think you saw things in yourself on the show that you didn't like and rather then turn your head or chose to stay away from the cameras...........you made a change in those areas. It takes a strong person to do that. It takes a lot of courage to see fault in yourself and even more courage to address it. Well congrats Jim, you really seem so sweet this season. And such a great husband\ father. Very attractive Jim!!!! lucky girl u are Alexis!!! Christine

    Cutting out those stupid, fake extensions was the best thing you have done in a long time. You do seem like a fake. You give the appearance of perfect marriage, that you are rich and blah, blah, blah. We can see through the b.s.

    Alexis you are so fake......you where not bullied ..The ladies where just stating facts about you..the truth hurts sometimes ..so please do us all a favor and get over the whole bullying pity pot.

    Love your hair along with your banging body! That cute little outfit you wore on "date night" dancing really showed off how tiny you are.  That being said, I have always saw you as a person who bragged way too much about all the material things you have. You were always trying to one-up everyone. IMO, it was a huge turn off. Even though what the ladies did to you in Costa Rica was horrible, I hope you at least considered what they were saying was the truth. Their delivery was awful, but needed to be said. I'm on the fence with you right now - if you tone it down a bit, I believe you would be more enjoyable to watch. Jim even appears to have toned it down - not his usual over bearing self! Hopefully, it's not an act. We shall see as this season continues!

    I've always been a fan of Alexis.  I'm happy to see the energy seems to have shifted, for the better, between you and your husband.  I wish I had a SkyZone near me!!  I would rather do cardio on a trampoline rather then a wooden floor (or machine) any day!  Looks like a ton of fun.

    ilcntrygrl 186 pts

    I love your new hairdo!  I hope that you and Vicki spend lots of time the two of you, instead of spending time with the mean girls.  I don't care what anyone else says, when people plan ahead to verbally attack you in a group, it is bullying.  And these things tend to get worse, instead of better.  Bless Your heart, you may not be perfect, no one is, but you try to be your best.  No one deserves the pack mentality of bullying that you faced, and it is not normal behavior.

    bravofanbev 47 pts

    @ilcntrygrl - Agree wholeheartedly with you! Tamara, Gretchen & Heather are a great definition of a "pack mentality" and their gang-like behavior is deplorable! Tamara has so much venom inside her & I used to love Gretchen until she became a follower. As for Heather all I can say is she is "fake, pretentious, and a phony. I don't know if I will even bother to watch the rest of the season. It's too painful to watch! There are many forms of bullying and Alexis and now, Vicki are being bullied by the mean girls at the table. Bravo, please fire Tamara. She adds nothing g but negativity to the show!

    Alexis,

     

    Let me say I LOVE your new haircut-thank you for having REAL hair and not tons of extensions!!!!  You look really pretty and real, not as fake.  I'm still not sure about this new portrayal of your marriage and Jim.  He goes from being Mr. Controlling to being a guy who says "you control our marriage" (or whatever he said).  I'm still not buying it, but, I hope it is for real.  I feel like you didn't leave Fox 5 to help your husband through his struggle with failed business. I feel like you left because he TOLD you to.  Men do not go from controlling jerks to sweet, loving, understanding men.  Your careers were taking too much time from Jim, and he didn't like it.  I hope you find your own way.  I hope that what you and Jim are portraying as a real, loving marriage, is for real.  I still have my doubts, it seems too unreal, but I've always had a strong dislike for you, but I find myself starting to like you this season.  Please, honey, don't disappoint!
