Love triangles have been running rampant in the Bravo universe over the last year. 

The Real Housewives of Orange County is currently featuring drama involving Shannon Beador and Alexis Bellino, who rejoined the show while dating Beador's former partner, John Janssen.

In the Season 18 premiere, the two women confronted each other, with Beador alleging that Bellino was involved in her ex-husband’s defamation lawsuit against her and Tamra Judge. 

The situation became awkward when Bellino flaunted her new relationship during a lunch, boasting about her promise ring and active sex life, despite saying she wanted to move past the conflict with Beador.

In the latest episode, “Red Flags and Flag Football,” Beador discovers that Janssen began taking Bellino to the same personal trainer at the gym she had introduced him to while they were together. 

When the trainer contradicted Bellino’s claim of being a “good Christian girl” by noting her openness about her “s** life,” Janssen allegedly reacted by blaming Beador for spreading the gossip.

Emily Simpson compares the situation to the 1992 thriller Single White Female, in which an obsessed woman attempts to assume her roommate's life, saying to Beador, "It’s very much like that."

Beador and Bellino share more than just Janssen and their gym; they also have the same dog, which has raised eyebrows among some of their fellow cast members.

Even Judge, who is currently at odds with Beador, jokes, “The bitch stole her dog,”while Jennifer Pedranti remarks, “Alexis, you couldn’t have left Shannon with something? Archie’s all she’s got.”

Beador criticizes Janssen for employing the same tactics on Bellino that he used on her.

“Is Alexis trying to live the life I had?” Beador questions. 

“She’s with my ex-boyfriend, she’s getting love-bombed like I did, they’re going to the same restaurants, they’re riding on the boat, they go to the same gym, he took her to the same hotel for her birthday that he took me for mine.”

She continues, “Alexis, good luck trying to be me.”

While Bellino wants Beador to “redeem” Janssen's name, it doesn't appear that will happen anytime soon.

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo, with new episodes available for streaming the next day on Peacock.
