During a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, Shannon extended her congratulations to Alexis following her marriage to John. Previously, John had sued Shannon for $75,000 after their relationship ended. Despite their past, Shannon wished Alexis well and remarked that the wedding ceremony seemed “beautiful.” She echoed this sentiment once more during the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion.
Alexis was asked about her thoughts on Shannon’s remarks during an interview on Reality with The King.
“I’m not certain what to make of it. I mean, I’m happy she seems ready to move on,” Alexis responded. “Hopefully, if she returns for another season of the show, she’ll stop mentioning my husband. Bringing him up after all these years, especially now that he’s fully married, just makes her look rather foolish.”
“I don’t really know. And I mean, I’m glad that it feels like she can finally move on,” said Alexis. “And hopefully now next season — if she’s back on the show — she’ll leave my husband’s name out of her mouth, because it makes her look kind of like an idiot to bring him up this many years later … after he’s like fully married.”
“So hopefully that has been a lesson for her watching it play back this season,” she went on. “But I did feel like she meant it, because there’s no one that can say my wedding was beautiful and think they’re lying, because it was beautiful. It was one of the most beautiful things that actually came together. You know, when you’re creating the vision … of a wedding, you don’t know till the day of. You think you have this vision, but it might not look like [it]. All the suits … and dresses that we had and all the stuff we were trying to put together, I wouldn’t know until we got everybody together for that picture.”
During the reunion, Tamra Judge suggested that Alexis’ wedding was one of the best she’s ever attended. On the podcast, Alexis said she “appreciated” how Tamra was “sensitive” about Shannon “sitting there” during her answer.
“But Tamra’s asked a question in front of everybody and has to answer honestly. And I know that Tamra held back saying a lot of what she really wanted to say about the wedding, just in respect for Shannon’s … difficulty moving forward with it all during the season,” she said. “But yeah, so I do believe Shannon, that she thought it was gorgeous. Because it was.”
