"Honestly, I hope Alexis and John sail into the sunset and we never have to hear from them again. It's an insufferable conversation on the reunion".
The footage also revealed John's statements about giving Shannon money for bills, followed by a post-dated promissory note, which attorney Emily Simpson later analyzed for legal validity.
Real Housewives of Orange County viewers outraged over Alexis and John's reunion interview
During the Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 reunion, John Janssen's confessional footage showed him discussing his current relationship and past financial matters. The segment featured detailed claims about his transition from his relationship with Shannon to meeting Alexis.
A Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 fan on X expressed,
"This John Jansen interview segment is too much. It's making me gag. NO ONE wants to see this!! Get him off my TV!"
The footage captured John stating his relationship with Alexis was "real and organic," while addressing the $40,000 loan dispute with Shannon. Throughout the interview, Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 star Alexis appeared alongside him, visibly supporting his statements.
An X user commented,
"Alexis sitting in John's interview nodding like a bobblhead"
Emily Simpson, bringing her legal expertise to the reunion, analyzed the validity of the promissory note mentioned by John. She explained that post-dating such documents doesn't transform previous monetary gifts into loans.
A viewer on X remarked,
"These interview packages w/John and Alexis is honestly disgusting. And Alexis deserves everything that comes to her."
Another fan posted,
“Alexis and John are terrible people”
A third fan also shared the same sentiment,
“Alexis and John have me so heated…why would @BravoTV even give those crap people INTERVIEW TIME!”
The discussion intensified when Alexis confirmed their first meeting at Quiet Woman on November 18, 2023, creating a direct contradiction to John's earlier statements about his year of singlehood.
The financial aspects of the dispute emerged when Shannon revealed forensic accounting evidence showing John spent $350,000 during their relationship. Meanwhile, John maintained his stance about the $40,000 loan, stating Shannon needed help with bills.
A Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 viewer on X noted,
"Why the f*** does John Jansen get a confessional interview at the reunion? Who cares what he has to say? Who asked for this? UGH dude just go away, with what's left of your dignity."
The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 Reunion’s interview segment shifted to John discussing their "volatile" relationship as his reasoning for requesting a promissory note after giving the money. Shannon responded by highlighting that the only negative comment she made about John involved her paying for everything during the first half of their relationship.
When addressing future dynamics, Alexis mentioned wanting to "coexist" with Shannon. The statement came after multiple exchanges about the ongoing legal dispute and timeline discrepancies.
"RHOC, the John and Alexis organic interview was so toxic. These two plastic fools are a joke." remarked a fan on X.
Another dedicated viewer posted,
"I just wanna make it clear we do not want to see Alexis and John Jansen's wedding on #RHOC and we don't want to watch Alexis plan it next season!!!"
The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 reunion segment concluded with Andy Cohen attempting to move past the interview discussion. Shannon made final statements about the proposed non-disparagement agreement, while Emily offered closing thoughts on the legal implications of the loan dispute.
The filming wrapped with Heather making additional revelations about the situation 36 hours after the Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 reunion ended.
