Alexis Bellino wastes no time rubbing her new relationship with John Janssen in his ex-girlfriend Shannon Beador‘s face in the dramatic teaser for The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18.

“I have your ex-boyfriend. There’s the door, Shannon Beador,” Bellino, who is returning to the long-running reality show as a friend, snarks to the veteran star.

In a separate scene, the two women sit across from each other at the dinner table, where Bellino gushes over a ring Janssen got her as a “sign of love” and confirms her plans to one day marry the businessman. Still, she insists she doesn’t want to be Beador, who dated Janssen for three years from 2019 to 2022.

Bellino also makes it clear that her new beau gave her some sort of life-ruining information about her co-star, claiming she’s “ready” if Beador wants to go “toe-to-toe.”

“You have no idea about John Janssen. You have no idea,” Beador warns Bellino before seemingly accusing her and Janssen of “extortion” and “blackmail.”

A sobbing Beador later refers to her ex-boyfriend as a “monster.”

But that’s hardly the only drama Beador faces this season! After getting arrested for driving under the influence, she tearfully apologizes to her daughters for disappointing them, while Tamra Judge accuses her of “not taking accountability for what she did.”

Elsewhere in the OC, Heather Dubrow says she feels “betrayed” by fellow New York native Gina Kirschenheiter as she also deals with newbie Katie Ginella accusing her of lying about something. Emily Simpson also has a problem with Dubrow looking at her like she’s “just the big girl,” despite losing a substantial amount of weight.

And just when we thought suspicions surrounding Jennifer Pedranti‘s relationship with rumored playboy Ryan Boyajian would die down now that they’re engaged, it appears as though things have only worsened for the couple.

With Boyajian being named in a $16 million gambling and theft scandal, Judge — who was outwardly critical of him last season — asks, “How’s the FBI going for you?” However, Boyajian insists that his legal troubles are all part of the “Lord’s plan.”

In lighter news, the ladies seem to do a lot of traveling this season as the trailer shows them in Big Bear, Sonoma, London and Palm Springs. Plus, Vicki Gunvalson is forced to reunite with her sworn enemy Teddi Mellencamp, while Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Sutton Stracke also makes a guest appearance.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 premieres on Thursday, July 11 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
