Former star of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Alexis Bellino gets slammed for calling her housekeepers"maids" and for calling them out publically on social media. Alexis had always been a contentious character on the show, and many were happy to see her leave the show when her time ended. However, leaving the franchise wont stop her from creating controversy.
Even though Bellino has since left the hit Bravo show she does not seem to have changed her entitled ways. Dubbed “Jesus Jugs” thanks to Tamra Judge, the former housewife was last seen catering to her ex-husbands Jim Bellino’s needs in every way. Preaching to fans the importance of family and her religion she left an unwanted taste in viewers' mouths. Since leaving the hit show, Bellino has become a full-time mother to her three children - James, Melania, and Mackenna -who she shares with her ex-husband Jim after their divorce in 2018.
Since splitting with her ex-husband and becoming a single mother, Bellino has stayed below the public radar up until last week when on November 29th she caused controversy when she posted a pretentious picture on her Instagram account. The picture showed the former reality star’s living room with her couch and what seemed to look like some feathers, bright children’s stickers, a pen, and some crumbs. She captioned the post, "When your couch accidentally disconnects and you realize your maids aren't doing deep cleaning." Check out the full post below:
Fans were quick to call her out for the distasteful post by replying to the former Real Housewives of Orange County star with sarcasm, saying that she had "#firstworldproblems." Others argued her use of the word "maid" was tacky and made her sound pretentious. Her followers also commented on how ridiculous it is for her to expect house cleaners to lift heavy furniture every time they clean. The real anger from fans stemmed from the lackadaisical vocabulary choice where her followers accused her of demeaning her cleaners and sounding overly privileged.
Even though Bellino tried to be light-hearted about her Instagram post which included a laughing emoji and a facepalm emoji, it still felt pretentious and demeaning to the "maids" and to her followers. It seems that fans calling her out on her snobby ways hasn't changed much as the post is still there on her page. There's the possibility she's trying to drum up some controversy in order to get back on the franchise.
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Tuesdays at 9pm EST on Bravo.
