The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 aired episode 10, titled Catwalks & Catfights, aired on Thursday, September 12, 2024. The segment saw the cast take a trip to support Heather Dubrow's charity event but Shannon and Alexis' feud took center stage.
Several cast members urged Alexis to sit down with Shannon have a conversation with her. The former agreed, however, Shannon wasn't interested. As she was leaving the event, she hugged everyone, apart from Alexis and told her she was "not interested."
Given their turbulent history on RHOC and drama with John Janssen, fans of the show praised Shannon Beader's reaction to Alexis. One person wrote on X:
"I thought Shannon was broken until she threw a massive uppercut to Jesus Jugs letting her know “IM NOT INTERESTED” and walking away stone cold"
"Shannon going up to Alexis and telling her “She’s not interested” and walking out on her was everything I’m so proud of her lol," a fan commented.
"I like how you kneeled down in her face and told her you're not interested. Shannon!" a tweet read.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 fans said they loved Shannon's reaction:
"#ShannonBeador saying tonight on #RHOC to #AlexisBellino, "I heard you wanted to talk to me tonight. I just want you to know, I'm not interested," was FREAKIN' FIRE! LOVE me some Shannon!" a person wrote.
"Shannon telling Alexis she's not interested in speaking with her then walking away was the mic drop moment Shannon needed. Good for you girl!" a fan commented.
"Shannon not hugging Alexis and telling her that she’s not interested in talking to her and then walking away -that’s some bad b*tch energy Shannon!! Proud of you," a tweet read.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 fans reacted to the cast's reaction to Shannon's lack of interest in talking to Alexis:
"Gina and Emily, what’s with the shocked face? Shannon told you 5 minutes before she told Alexis that’s she’s not interested in talking to her. You’re both so f*cking phony. At least Tanya owns the sh*t spewing human that she is," a person wrote.
"The women acting shocked that Shannon told Alexis she’s not interested in having any type of conversation… Are they for real? 1 day ago Alexis was threatening to ruin Shannon’s life if she posted the videos she has on her… She’s obsessed with making her feel miserable," a fan commented.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18: Shannon Beader told Alexis she "was not interested" in talking to her
In The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 episode 10, Emily Simpson suggested that Alexis and Shannon have a conversation. She told Alexis to be more "compassionate" towards the season 18 cast member.
Alexis told the cameras that since they were at an event for Family Equality, it would be the perfect opportunity for her to try. She told Emily that she was open to the idea of burying the hatchet.
While in conversation with Gina, Shannon stated she felt bad that Heather's event had so much negativity. Gina told Shannon that she and Alexis were "kind of saying the same thing."
"She's not willing to back down a millimeter," Shannon replied.
Later on The Real Housewives of Orange County, Emily joined the conversation and tried to convince Shannon to talk to Alexis to clear the air. Emily asked Alexis to do the same for the sake of the rest of the Bravo cast. Emily assured Shannon that John Janssen's name would not come up.
However, Shannon stated it was not "healthy" to talk to Alexis. She explained that the rest of the cast could enjoy their time with Alexis and stated that the trip had pushed her "over the edge". She said she was leaving. As she hugged the rest of the cast, she came across Alexis but refused to give her a hug.
"I heard that you wanted to speak to me. But I need to let you know I'm not interested, okay?" Shannon added.
Fans of the show chimed in on the situation online and praised Shannon for how she reacted.
