Lydia McLaughlin Trying To Get Alexis Bellino To Replace Tamra Judge And Shannon Beador On ‘RHOC?’

Lydia McLaughlin is back on The Real Housewives of Orange County this season after leaving the show a few years ago. Lydia felt the drama was too much for her, so she decided to take a step back and focus on her family and having another baby. Now that Lydia is back on the show, some viewers feel that she’s trying to fake an attitude for the sake of making a scene. While in Iceland — a trip planned by Lydia — she made a scene after she was left out of a group text message. McLaughlin took offense to it and threw menus at her co-stars in a restaurant. Viewers were not impressed, as they felt she handled everything with a poor attitude.

Rather than address comments that hinted at her pettiness, Lydia McLaughlin decided to post a picture of herself and Alexis Bellino. Alexis used to be a cast member as well, but she left The Real Housewives of Orange County behind because she felt that she was being bullied by the other ladies. Many of McLaughlin’s followers encouraged her to bring Alexis back on the show, as it had been years since they last saw her. According to a new Instagram post, Lydia McLaughlin may be trying to get fans excited about Bellino in order to boot other cast members from the show.

A few weeks ago, Lydia McLaughlin hosted a party for her Nobleman magazine. She posted a photo from the party of herself with her co-stars, but Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge, and Meghan King Edmonds were missing. Meghan later posted a photo of herself on the red carpet for the event, which means she did attend. But Tamra and Shannon were clearly missing, and it sounded like Lydia was trying to send a message. Maybe she’s trying to do the same thing now with this picture of Alexis, as she could be campaigning to get another veteran back to the show.

What do you think Lydia McLaughlin’s intentions were with the post about Alexis Bellino? Do you think she wants to bring Alexis back on the show since they are friends and possibly boot Shannon Beador from The Real Housewives of Orange County?
