"Hilarious"— The Real Housewives of Orange County fans react to Shannon texting Alexis about not being invited to London

The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 aired episode 13 this week on Thursday, October 3, 2024. The segment saw Shannon reveal to the group that they were going to London for their upcoming cast trip, but one cast member was not invited.

Alexis Bellino received a text message from Shannon Beador about not being invited to the cast trip. Jenn and Katie, who knew about the text beforehand, hoped the cast member wasn't too harsh. Alexis, who had sent the cast member a bouquet to Shannon in an attempt to extend an olive branch told the RHOC cast members, she was "f*cking done."

Fans reacted to the text message online. One person wrote on X:

"Shannon’s text to Alexis is hilarious please"

"hannon did the right thing, keep Alexis at arms length. She can continue with her theatrics in the OC we don't want her here in England!," a fan commented.

"Shannon sending that text to Alexis was *chefs kiss*. If production wanted Alexis on the cast trip, she would be going. And Alexis knows that hence her saying “she wouldn’t be apart of the group”. She’s getting ahead of the inevitable," a tweet read.

The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 fans said Shannon "eviscerated" Alexis with the text message:

"Alexis works OT to hurt & humiliate Shannon. Via a text, Shannon eviscerated her with a reminder of who’s queen & who’s FOH. Alexis is so useless, even production couldn’t force a space for her on a cast trip. She brings nothing aside from dating Shannon’s sloppy seconds," a person wrote.

"I love Shannon's text. It needed to be said. How the hell does Alexis send a peace offering in the middle of a lawsuit mixed with a season of extortion. Girl is trying so hard to get film time yet she is appropriately excluded from events," a fan commented.

"Shannon letting Alexis know she’s not invited to the London trip via text message is a SAVAGE move, I don’t care what y’all say. That’s how you serve C*NT," a tweet read.

The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 fans further said:

"Shannon said I’m the full-time wife, and Alexis is the FOH. THERE WILL BE BOUNDARIES, and Alexis’ presence is not required for the cast trip. And I’m glad she’s not letting the other women talk her into being “nicer” in the text. Alexis doesn’t deserve a nicer text," a person wrote.

"I have never had anyone text me to let me know I wasn’t invited/welcomed somewhere. The clarification Shannon had to make because Jesus J*gs Bellino sent her flowers thinking it would garner an invite is hilarious," a fan commented.
