RHOC's Tamra Judge and Alexis Bellino

RHOC alum Alexis Bellino says she’s open to returning for season 18. Plus, jokes “conniving” Tamra Judge would do anything to stay on the show.

While appearing at BravoCon 2023 over the weekend, Alexis Bellino teased the possibility of reclaiming her orange for season 18 of the Real Housewives of Orange County.

“I’m definitely excited and proud to be associated with the network, and I’d never want to say never,” she told Page Six at BravoCon. “And I’ll leave it at that.”

“I started watching it again this year because, of course, Heather [Dubrow] and I are pretty close, and just having Tamra [Judge] come back, I wanted to tune in. I gave it one or two episodes to see how it would go, and then I got pretty hooked.”

“She made for good TV this year in all of her drunken stupors,” the RHOC alum said of Tamra Judge’s return for season 17.

Tamra and Alexis reunited and looked super chummy together at BravoCon, which only further fueled gossip about the possibility of Alexis’ return to RHOC for season 18.

Speaking of Tamra, Alexis couldn’t help but throw a little bit of shade at her former co-star and frienemy.

“I do think she’s manipulative and conniving, and I think she would sell her own mom to stay on the show,” Alexis joked. “I don’t think she would deny any of that if we asked her, too.”

“Tamra and I definitely have a past,” Alexis said with a laugh.

As Real Housewives of Orange County fans know, Alexis Bellino starred in seasons 5 through 8 of the OC Housewives franchise from 2009 until 2013.

While Alexis hasn’t starred on Real Housewives of Orange County in numerous years, her name was mentioned at the recent season 17 reunion by none other than Tamra Judge.

During the RHOC season 17 reunion, Tamra called out Heather Dubrow for championing Alexis’ potential return to RHOC instead of her. As Bravo fans know, Tamra was ultimately returned to RHOC for season 17 after a two-year hiatus from the show.

Alexis said she found it “disgraceful” for Tamra to use her name amid her feud with Heather.

“It’s ridiculous that she is using my name as an excuse to carry out any of this behavior,” she said before giving props to Tamra for her continued ability to “drive conflict” on the Real Housewives of Orange County.

RHOC will return for season 18 in 2024.

Catching up on OC and just started Alexis’ last season (8) and I’m already missing her. I don’t agree with her politics, but she was honest and reflective. A lot of the other women just couldn’t handle someone who is beautiful and articulate like Alexis is because she did make a lot of valid points and wasn’t afraid to call out the hypocrisy of some of the other women. I hope she’ll come back for season 18.

Alexis was being too kind is saying Tamra is "manipulative and conniving, and I think she would sell her own mom to stay on the show."

I loved the shade Alexis threw at Kyle on BravoCon last night.

Give Shannon a season to heal. It would be good for her and then she can come back. Whoever they bring on, they should bring two together and let them take on Tamra, like have Gretchen and Alexis both.They may not always be on the same side on every issue, but they could stand up to Tamra together. Tamra plays really dirty and mean, it’s just a fact from her previous shows, and the current cast is too scared to stand up to her. If someone comes back on their own Tamra will just get the cast on her side against that person and it will be a gang up again. At least if you bring back two cast members together, you give it more balance and a chance of less 5 vs 1 again. The gang up seasons have been done.

Heather was so mean to Alexis. Alexis was beautiful, but she did something to her face recently which is unfortunate. Tamra is white trash.

I would welcome Alexis back.

I don't think she was iconic "other than the boobs" but she seemed okay. It was her husband who was the trouble maker. I think Gretchen might be a better choice?
