“I know people make fun of it, but I’m telling you now, if you’re going up against lying and the truth, you better have the receipts,” says Bellino, who is currently engaged to Beador’s ex John Janssen.
“My [future] husband is the one that’s being massacred and it’s not true,” she states. “So I’m not going to drop it. I’m going to show the truth and tell the truth.”
As of now, Bellino is not elaborating on the nature of her receipts or what untruths they will apparently debunk.
Earlier this season, the blond beauty — who appears on the current installment of “RHOC” as a “friend of” the cast — told Tamra Judge, Jennifer Pedranti and Katie Ginella that she might “pull out the videos” if Beador, 60, continued to speak poorly of Janssen in the wake of their split.
She went on to say that there are “a lot of” videos that could purportedly “ruin [Beador’s] life” should they ever go public.
Bellino tells “Virtual Reali-Tea” that she now regrets bringing them up on camera.
“That was a mistake. I didn’t mean to blurt that out,” she says. “That night that I did mention the videos, it was late. We’d been filming all day long. I was tired and his name and her name just kept coming up.”
Bellino continues, “I was fed up and I was like, ‘Everybody’s in support of Shannon.’ I’m like, ‘Do I need to just show the videos? Someone needs to take accountability here and somebody needs to get off my back.’”
Judge previously told “Virtual Reali-Tea” that she heard the footage was captured for “months and months and months” — including the night of Beador’s headline-making DUI arrest in September 2023.
On “RHOC,” newbie Ginella, 40, claimed to Emily Simpson that she was told that one clip shows Beador nearly running over Janssen’s daughter.
“John has sole custody of those videos,” Bellino emphasizes, “and has never once said he was going to show them or had any intentions of showing them unless Shannon wanted to personally come sit and watch them with us.”
Beador and Janssen dated on and off for years before fizzling out in 2023. That November, he struck up a connection with Bellino which evolved into a romance.
He proposed to her last month after nine months of dating. The couple is currently searching for a wedding venue and hopes to tie the knot in 2025.
“The Real Housewives of Orange County” airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
