The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18's newly released episode 13 revealed that Shannon Storms Beador had planned a girl's trip to London. However, Shannon texted Alexis Bellino, mentioning that everyone was invited except for her. This message hurt Alexis's feelings as she had previously attempted to mend their friendship.
Earlier in the episode, Alexis sent Beador a birthday gift in hopes of resolving their issues and moving past their beef. Unfortunately, Shannon didn't respond to the gesture as Alexis had expected, instead she clarified about establishing boundaries around Bellino.
During an interview with Bravo on October 3, 2024, Alexis admitted that her reaction to Shannon's text messages was "one of those moments" where she "acted 16." In another interview, Katie mentioned that she and Gina were "kicked out" of Alexis's house as a reaction to Shannon's behavior. However, Alexis denied this claim and said:

The Real Housewives of Orange County star Alexis recalls her reaction to Shannon's texts
The Real Housewives of Orange County star Alexis explained that Shannon's text message was unnecessary. Bellino shared that she already had suspected that Shannon might not invite her hence the message wasn't necessary.
Alexis continued stating that it wasn't the first time Shannon tried to exclude her from the friend group. She said:
"I mean, I don't even know what you call that text, because like I said she just could've not invited me and it would've been known Alexis isn't going, but it's just one more thing because ever since I came around this group of women again, Shannon has been trying to get me out of the group."
However, The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member wasn't surprised when she got to know Shannon wouldn't invite her. Alexis admitted that if she had planned a trip for the girls, Shannon wouldn't have been invited either.
But the Bravo reality TV star was upset at how Beador clarified via text that she was not invited.
Alexis admitted that she didn't handle this revelation well, especially after the situation got tense with her friends Katie Ginella and Jennifer Pedranti.
Alexis said:
"I mean, I wouldn't invite her to go on a trip with me either. I thought the way she texted it was a little not necessary. She didn't even need to tell me I wasn't invited, because I just would've not gotten the invitation to go. So I really didn't need a text. But on my side of it, I ... yeah, I didn't handle it so well."
