After news broke that Taylor Armstrong would not be returning to Season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County in the coveted “friend” spot, many Bravo fans began to speculate who might be taking her place. After months of quiet, it seems like we finally have our answer: Alexis Bellino.
Bellino started filming with the RHOC ladies on Tuesday evening, TMZ reported on January 24th. The tabloid news organization shared an image of the television personality at dinner with Heather Dubrow and Emily Simpson — which is shocking to longtime fans who will remember that Debrow and Bellino hit a rough patch in the latter’s last two seasons. So, it has me thinking that not everyone will be thrilled about her return.
