Heather Dubrow thanked the cast member for coming to the GLAAD awards and said she wished John would have joined them. Alexis went silent, which made the other housewives wonder if the cast member was okay. She credited her mood to John and Shannon's "legal battle." She told Gina that she was "hurting."

RHOC season 18 fans reacted to the segment and were critical of Alexis crying over the legal dispute. One person wrote on X:

"No sympathy for Alexis. She’s gotta be the biggest idiot in the real housewives franchise"

"“And the baggage that comes with his ex-relationship, is everywhere I go” Alexis saying this as if she didn’t have a choice on joining the show with the ex. She really is so ridiculous and this felt very fake to me!" a fan commented.

"Why is Alexis crying when her and her boyfriend are doing the blackmailing and the ones who don’t want to settle," a tweet read.

The Real Housewives of Orange County fans felt Alexis' storyline was being dragged.

"Alexis crying about the legal battle that her boyfriend won't settle and continues to drag out.....got it," a person wrote.

"Alexis, no one feels sorry for you. You’ve placed yourself right in the middle of the drama & keep fanning the flames. I truly hope this is your last season because you’ve brought nothing but “Johnny” and mess. Goodbye," a fan commented.

"Getting tired of Alexis pretending to be a 'victim'," a tweet read.

"To the Housewives Producers, Alexis Bellino is a horrible person and doesn't deserve to be on our televisions. She was a bad housewife the first time and this time she is worse. AND you owe @ShannonBeador an apology!" a person wrote.

"And Alexis is not innocent in this entire lawsuit situation. Why is that every time you are on HW’s your ex husband and now your fiancé is suing one of your cast mates? I think Alexis encourages this behavior," a fan commented.
