Alexis Bellino Denies Buying 30,000 Followers On Twitter; Says She Was Hacked!

August 16, 2012 | By | 37 Replies Continue Reading


Interesting…very interesting! Real Housewives of Orange County star Alexis Bellino is denying that she had anything to do with her followers randomly jumping 30,000 in just days! It all started when Micah Tanous tweeted, “I just answered a call from the company that is SELLING all the current #RHOC cast their Twitter followers, What a F’ing Joke!”

That’s when it was revealed Alexis had jumped 30,000 followers. Tamra and Heather were not surprised but Alexis is denying she had anything to do with it telling Fox News,

“I have waited to respond regarding the recent ‘bought Twitter fans’ accusations because like many of you, I thought it was odd that my twitter account jumped 30,000 in a day, so I immediately hired a team of specialists to help determine what was happening. I did not understand the meaning of buying fans, so it has taken me a few days to grasp exactly what occurred. Let me be very clear on this issue, neither myself nor members of my team have ever purchased a Twitter fan. What I have learned is that someone else can do this to my account, and it’s very interesting how this chain of events has unfolded, and how certain people seem so knowledgeable and opinionated about what is happening to my account”

Michael Gregg, COO of Superior Solutions explains, “Based on my review of Alexis’ account, it appears that she may have been targeted by ‘bots,’ i.e. fake accounts for spamming purposes. This could be considered a ‘hack’ in the sense that a person can hire a bot service to do this to someone, but it’s not a hack in the traditional sense of someone taking over her account. This could be done to try to discredit Alexis or have her account blocked by Twitter. These bots will turn very quickly – your account can get bombarded by them in a short period of time and then see them disappear just as fast, once Twitter starts to target and remove these fake accounts. Judging by some of her followers, it appears there are a number of these fake accounts still attached to her Twitter feed.”

Alexis adds, “I am told anyone can easily do to it anyone else without the use of passwords, usernames, or any other privileged information.”

Yea, I’m not buying it. A lot of housewives and househusbands (Joe Gorga; Richard Wakile) buy followers. Alexis, you have been caught.

    Micah is a bitch just like his simple boring wife. I believe her followers jumped so high because she’s the only one who showed class this season. I know that I have become a new true fan of hers, and I can speak for many of MY friends also, so I can see it jumping so high. People try so hard to PURPOSELY LOOK for waysto trash other people……….SHAME……SHAME…..SHAME!

    • Teresa says:

      Micah, don’t you have ANYTHING better to do??? You’re laughable……hehehehehehehe!!!!! What a dork!

      • Margie says:

        I don’t care for either of them but thought the same thing. Who has time to monitor Twitter followers of someone else? Guess they have lots of free time on their hands.

      • LJ says:

        Teresa I als recently became an Alexis fan and started following her via twitter. And even if she did “buy” the followers I could really care less. Better then lying and saying your “Gretchen Christine” lip plumper is why your lips are drasticaly bigger to sell more of your products when it was damn botox!

    • kate says:

      why attack Micah? Typical of the crazed sycophants on here to redirect any craziness onto bystanders – she is lying. And speaking of trashing people didn’t you just do that to Micah?? SHAME SHAME

      • Joanna says:

        Shame? Shame is a grown man going after a mother of 3 because his wife cant get over doing Jim 20 years ago. Micah is shameful.

      • rukidding? says:

        kate i see you doing the same thing all the time in here. you love going against the norm because you like annoying people. you and sam the man are so much alike. i’m not buying what you’re selling. not fooling me. as for micah he’s a grown as man and shouldn’t be attacking a woman. his wife can fight her own battles and who the hell pays attention to someone elses twitter views?! that is odd. as for alexis i have no idea if she’s lying or not. hackers boosting her view counts is possible because it’s been done in youtube. it’s a gimmick that hackers do to get people in trouble and shut down. there’s alot of people that don’t like alexis. so anything is possible or she did get caught and is trying to save herself.

        • LJ says:

          Nailed it rukidding! Its odd isnt it! Agree w/ EVERYTHING in your post 100%! Ole’ Sam the Man and Katie oughta make BFF’s. At least Sam the Man sticks to Melissa Gorga blogs though. As for Micha…Ummmm do you not have a life? And why are people contacting you about OC Housewives buying twitter followers? Thats strange and how do they even have you on spped dial to ring you up if you hadnt associated w/ em in the first place?!? All I know is my husband who’s a real man is too busy working to even care whats going on twitter let alone who “buys” their followers and lets me handle my own fghts!

      • SummerStyle says:

        ..that was ment for *Kate*

    • Jennifer says:

      She was hacked. What about that nut ball of a fake heiress wasn’t she hacked as well! LOL!

  2. S.B says:

    I believe it. It happened to me on my email account. I had to change the password

    • Amanda says:

      It happened to my mom, too. But 30,000 is an awful lot of followers…This is why I think twitter can be silly. The number of people following you does not make you a popular person.

  3. Sarah says:

    I believe it, I made my twitter account private bc of all those fake twitter accounts. Especially the porn spam ones! Super freakin annoying.

  4. Ladynblack says:

    Who freaking cares! Those who point fingers (housewives casts) do the same.

  5. WarOnTara says:

    I personally believe it, since it happened to my account at one point- AND since her account jumped up AND down in massive amounts of followers in short periods of time. If she were buying them, it would be a steady upward trend, IMO.

  6. Lia says:

    I guess I just don’t really care either way. If she wants to buy herself some twitter followers… eh, whatever. Although I doubt she can afford it!

  7. T says:

    Who cares…Alexis just needs to go away. I don’t get why some of the housewives feel the need to respond to all the B.S. stories. It’s one of the reasons I respect Teresa, she just ignores the stupid crap & moves on.

  8. Joanna says:

    Micah Tanous apparently was just fired from his job. Some advise Micah, how about getting another job and supporting your family instead of behaving like Slade by fighting all your wifes battles for her? Huh? Slade x 2 is what you’ve become, and look at Slades reputation(which Tamra destroyed) is that what you want for the future of your family? Help your wife move on with her anger and jealousy instead of going after Alexis. I have lost all respect for you. And to think Gretchen was Tamras victim and she stands by to gang up on Alexis, disgusting!

    • Maria says:

      Very well said Joanna! Completely agree. Tamra was the cause of so many lies & drama. Wouldn’t be surprised if Tamra & Heather got together & opened their very own “Twitter Buyer” company! And spammed Alexis’ account! LMAO They’re evil cows!

  9. andrea says:

    I think it’s funny how the mean girls AND their men are intimidated by the number of Alexis’ Twitter followers. Gee insecure much? I wouldn’t be surprised if they keep track of her Facebook numbers either. If they’re too dumb to understand the jump in fans that Alexis has, maybe they should go back and read the comments on their Bravo blogs as well as the show’s FB page and make some changes to themselves. Tamra, Gretch, and Heather have so much more negative feedback. But of course, they don’t want to talk about that…..

  10. kydnaas says:

    Oh I hate those twitter bots -.-

  11. Daisy says:

    I think I’m going to take Alexis at her word here. She could of easily ignored this and swept it under the carpet. I also think it’s curious that Micah Tanous announced this and perhaps he knows more about it than he’s letting on.

  12. fabfeathers says:

    Alexis knows what ‘hacked’a means? Give me a break.

  13. michers says:

    Really? I find it funny that she waited to address when others caught on to it. She is on her twitter everyday! Who hires a team of specialists for that?? LOL This is funny, Im sorry. She was caught in a lie. Thats the best she could come up with? And Micah did not just pull this out of his a$$- company called him and told him about RHOC buying followers and told him of Alexis.

    • Joanna says:

      ..Again, Even if it’s true (which I doubt) Micah needs to get a life and stay out of Jim and Alexis’s business. They want nothing to do with him or Peggy, no friendship, no dinners, so Micah needs to just move on.

      • michers says:

        I dont foresee Micah being a problem- he has never blogged, interviewed or lingered on and on about any of these people, like the Bellino’s do!!!! He was pointing out just another example of how these people lie. And they have trashed talked his wife, so I say good for him for bringing forth another ugly truth about Jim and Alexis.Honestly this is the first I ever saw Micah say anything especially about the show. He was not in their business, someone brought it to him and he told the truth..I really doubt Micah is hurt by not hanging around Jim and Alexis, now thats funny!

        • Joanna says:

          on that note, have you seen the video of him talking about Slades child support on YouTube? It was pretty recent.
          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENHMcwHPI_s

          It seems these two dont like Slade and judging from the way they go on, they like to speak about others. (good discussion Michers) :)

          • andrea says:

            OOooh..good one Joanna. Think we’ll be seeing Gretch and Slave hit back at Micah for that? (They should, to be consistent.) I do find it amusing that Micah likes to dish out financial advice when he can’t even make his house payments. Thanks for sharing!

          • michers says:

            Lol, you too Joanna :) I will check the link later! Thanks!

          • michers says:

            I honestly do not know much about Micah, as it should be since its supposed to be a show revolving around the women! I thought he was fairly normal and more tolerable versus the rest of what we get stuck with , lol

  14. teamHW says:

    um Roxy

    Im not with you on this one. i believe these women are super jealous of alexis and i just dont understand why! i recieved a DM from gretchen rossi back when she tamra and heather ganged up on alexis. i told her on twitter “big mistake you jumped ship! you will loose fans and wait and see alexis will win more. she then DM me on twitter and wrote lol alexis buys her fans. i called her out on her TL and not DM on twitter asked why would she say alexis is buying her fan? she replied to me “what the hell was I talking about”! i was like this bitch is talking out of her ass. fricken liars all of them. i feel alexis is telling the truth. naturally has to defend her self. show is over for now but these bitch’s still wond leave her alone including micha and his ugly wife.

    dont get it!
