Real Housewives of Orange CountystarShannon Beadorhas been awarded nearly $138,000 from Alexis Bellino’s ex-husband, Jim Bellino.
Last year, Jim suedRHOCstars Beador, 55, and Tamra Judge, 51, for defamation after the ladies spoke negatively of him on comedian Heather McDonald’s podcast, “Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald,” according to the documents.
Both Beador and Judge fired back. They denied defaming him and asked the Orange County judge to order Jim Bellino to reimburse their legal fees.
Ultimately, the judge dismissed Jim’s entire suit against Beador and awarded her $137,340.25 of the $220,000 she sought for legal bills, according to the documents.
