Alexis “Jesus Jugs” Bellino really, truly hates that nickname, though she perhaps has even greater disdain for the woman who gave it to her:
Tamra Judge.
While Alexis did make an appearance on The Real Housewives of Orange County this fall, it was only to discuss divorce with Emily Simpson.
The former cast member may have filmed that scene, but she’s not coming back on a regular basis.
And according to a report by Radar Online, that is very much by choice.
What would keep the recently divorced Alexis from accepting a massive Housewives paycheck?
Tamra Judge, apparently.
Alexis just can’t stand her, and the report explains exactly why.
1. Alexis Bellino could have reclaimed her Orange!
“Andy Cohen personally asked Alexis to come back full time this season,” an insider reveals to RadarOnline.
2. Wildly, here was her answer:
“But she said no,” the source shares. Not many people are willing to pass up that kind of paycheck. This is especially true of people who were recently divorced.
3. Why TF would she do that?
The insider explains that Alexis turned down the offer “because she wants nothing to do with Tamra.”
4. She’s avoiding Tamra like the plague
“Tamra runs everyone off the show,” the source characterizes. She can be very supportive to some of her friends, but … yeah, she’s a lot.
5. Apparently it’s not even worth that hefty paycheck
“Alexis refused to come back,” the insider reiterates. “Because she won’t be around Tamra.”
6. And yet … she did appear on RHOC
“Alexis agreed to film just one scene,” the source notes, referring to Alexis’ sit-down with Emily in which she discussed her life now and how miserable her divorce process was.
