a-bellinoAlexis Bellino with First Husband Jeff Barry

We recently wrote about the downside of appearing on a reality show such as the Real Housewives of Orange County. The first downside being that your ‘perfect’ marriage that you pride yourself on will come off as being not so perfect in front of millions of viewers, while your husband’s cutesy behavior might come off as being somewhat controlling.

The second downside it seems is skeletons from your closet being unveiled. New housewife on the block, Alexis Bellino, is now experiencing this as her first husband, Jeff Barry, is spilling all sorts of sordid details about the couple’s first marriage and nasty divorce to Star magazine. And oh yeah, there are pictures too.

In the latest issue of Star magazine, it is revealed that Alexis and Jeff got married back in 2002 after 3 years of dating. The Missouri college sweethearts would later go on to divorce in 2003 after just 15 months of marriage. Reasons for their divorce includes infidelity, boozy brawls, computer hacking, physical threats and missing money. “We had been college sweethearts in Missouri,” Jeff, 31, sales e ngineer, tells Star. “I never dreamt back then that things between us could turn so ugly.”

More details about Alexis’s first marriage below -

  1. The couple moved to San Diego shortly after their 2002 wedding. “We were young and didn’t have a lot of money.” says Jeff. “Then Alexis…started hanging out with trust fund babies. Having the right pair of expensive jeans became important to her.”
  2. Eventually, Jeff discovered his wife was having an affair with a wealthy father of three she met at the gym.
  3. “I gave Alexis endless opportunities to fess up, but she kept denying everything,” says Jeff. “Then she said she needed her space, moved into her own place and asked me to go to therapy with her. But she only went twice, she made no effort at all.”
  4. Jeff pretended to be a friend of Alexis’s and started emailing her under false pretenses. His suspicions were confirmed that Alexis was indeed sleeping with the married wealthy man.
  5. Jeff then sent a mass email out to couple’s friends and family, in which he referred to Alexis as a “gold-digging homewrecker,” and a “$2 whore.
  6. In the divorce filing, Jeff said of Alexis, “She can be an extremely mean, irrational drunk… She once took off her top in front of my best man to make me mad because she was upset that I smoked a cigarette.”

The couple’s divorce was finalized in June 2004. According to Jeff, he hasn’t had any contact with Alexis in four years.

“I’m not surprised she ended up on a show like Real Housewives,” says Jeff, who is now remarried. “She just seems to have even bigger boobs, a nose job and blonder hair now.”

According to Star magazine, Alexis declined to comment on this article.

    while I’m not fan of Vicki’s I must say this in comparison (since the rest of the cast – Tamra, Lynn and Gretchen – have already been hung out to dry.

    Alexis is a divorced woman married only 15 months originally from La Jolla, CA

    She in her early/mid twenties was an aspiring model and had been in Maxim magazine, doing butt shots on the regular (yes there are pictures for proof)

    She cheated on her first husband. He’s obviously still bitter over that although he is remarried too.

    Alexis met her current husband at a hotel and the rest has been history (who meets at a hotel and “falls in love” ?)

    She is from a hick town in the middle of nowhere (I believe Missouri) raised by some river. Humble beginnings mu

    sorry….I got cut off…

    anyway….

    I meant to finish “humble beginnings much?”
    —————————-
    She married Jim-bo-slob who is 15 years her senior in an effort of finally landing her a sugar daddy and it worked. She stays wearing Tiff(phony) rings, and driving (has)Ben tleys.

    She and her slave master husband have 3 super cute children under the age of 5 who they most likely never spend quality time with….instead the children call their 2 nannies (probably named Maria and Guadalupe) mom AND dad.

    Alexis and her middle aged hubby have been identified as stalking current and former cast members of the show prior to them landing a spot themselves on the show….I so think that purchasing a home from Jeana in an effort to get on the inside was the biggest RED FLAG yet….how low can you go?

    Oh and the Christian thing….well, where does one start?
    I’m all for faith and spiritual awareness as I too enjoy thinking about it…BUT how hypocritical is it for Alexis to parade around in low cut tops and dress and still expect for (her) God to “bless that mess”….I’m not atheist but after watching her and her hubby’s sillyness on tv it’s easy to see why an athesist rarely takes anythng a Christian has to say s-e-r-i-o-u-s-l-y. Conflict of interest much????? Me thinks so.

    I had to see that prayer scene twice just to make sure what I was watching was FOR REAL….what an “unlearned” scripture studier she made herself look like….

    I think Vicki was right in her assessment of Alexis….now Vic is no anger either but at least her husband is NOT a pawn shop broker, and former billiards wholesaler (and who sells pool tables) screwing over people and being found guilty on felony charges…yeah Alexis, you know how to pick ‘em.

    And at least Vicki has a real job and career in which she employs nearly 1000 people who (given this economy) still can pay their bills with no problems and not get fat eviction notices (Lynn….how embarassing…and now she’s considering bankruptcy) http://pedrowatcher.freedomblogging.com/2010/01/27/breaking-housewives-news-lynne-curtin-may-be-filing-for-bankruptcy/14577/

    Vicki also despite also having been in a horrible first marriage to a scumbag, took lemons and made lemonade and never looked back….she kept her eyes on the prize because she knew she had KIDS TO RAISE so she hustled and got on her grind like most single mom do….Alexis has no damn excuse because she didn’t have kids until now, has the funds (for now) to allow them to live a comfortable lifestyle and yet she finds every other excuse to NOT PARENT….so Alexis if it’s your job, then do it….but no…she’ll pay someone else to do it for her. I hope she understand that those kids will be teenagers one day and if she doesn’t bond with them NOW, they will run her over like a train later and leave her and her convicted criminal husband heads spinning faster than Linda Blair’s in the exorcist.

    Vicki is going to go so far in on her a$$ during the reunion show, it’s going to be too funny….ratings will be through the roof for Bravo.

    Alexis, Alexis, Alexis. Where does one begin with Alexis? As a Christian, I am so disgusted with her representation of Christ. Her language, her habits and her immodesty are all so NOT Christ-like, no wonder atheists and non-Christians alike have a problem with “believers” like her. So do I. Her parenting skills are laughable – two parents, two nannies and three children! Are you kidding? With all this help, you would think they’d be better behaved. Does she spend any quality time with her children or does she always “need a break” to get away from them or put them in toatally inappropriate situations? I mean, who in their right mind takes toddlers for mani-pedies? This woman does not think about much outside of herself or her perspective. She is so judgemental of other people and then she does the same thing that she criticizes! Is there anything about her that is authentic? It is so distracting at how unattractive she is with her squeezed-up face and horrendous over-bite. Or is it just that her lips are so artificially plump that they look like a ledge at the bottom of her face? What an awful addition to the show.

    Her mother is hysterical. She doesn’t look like she’s ever taken care of her skin and hair in her life, and pulls a Heidi Montag? Then she shows up to the party looking like Vampira.

    I bet Alexass looked alot like her before the veneers, eyelift, butt reux and the other surgeries she’s had that she will never admit to.

    Someone please, tell Alexis… Jesus didn’t part the red sea… Moses did. That one screw up in prayer, said a bunch about her.
    Fake as NewYork knock off handbag!
    Looks good at first glance but all the logo’s are crooked and
    not made well!

    Ha ha to you guys bringing up Alexis’ mom.

    I wonder if Jim ever thinks “Hey, if I don’t keep her maintenance going, she’s going to look like that!”

    Now I believe that we are all made in the image of God but Alexis and her mom don’t look anything alike…I’ll just leave it at that…..

    Plastic surgery or not…somebody is not showing their real face underneath….

    I don’t get the vibes either that Alexis’ mom just out of the blue said “I’m going to get plastic surgery on my next trip out there to visit”…I think her daughter pushed it on her. Yeah. There’s no better way to tell your own mom she’s ugly other than suggesting she get plastic surgery 10 million times until she finally screams “uncle”….why does her mom look worse than before? She should’ve stayed in Missouri and watched her daughter’s fail happen on tv like the rest of us. Now she got sucked into it….

    did no one else catch the timing?

    her mom was coming into town for a few months, and would be attending the end-of-the-season party before she left …

    i seriously think that this is why alexis talked her mom into having her surgery done.

    she also treated her mother like a barbie doll, dressing her an doing her hair the *moment* she could get her out of her embarassing ‘midwestern’ clothes …

    translation: mom’s not good enough for me.

    i doubt she would ever have taken her to the party, otherwise.

    This is mean but did anyone else think that Alexis’ mother (pre-surgery) looked seriously like a homeless person?? Like missing teeth etc.? And then on the finale she looked like a hobo with globs of make-up on. FAIL.

  10. 160

    The poor woman didn’t look any better than she did before. She went through all of that pain and money for nothing. Like Alexis, she’s also the spitting image of Buckwild. (****Props to Lizzie for that one*) I wonder if Alexis is going to parade her around in front of the church folk.
    Imagine having Jumbo come up to you at a party to bug you to attend church w/ him? Yuck.

  11. 161

    I could smell it from her cheap perfume permeating from the screen. She is clearly a white trash, gold-digging, cock-climbing, hypocrite who lives like a harlot with heels in the air all the while denouncing every one else as “those other people”. She prides herself at living a pious Christina life as a pure wife and mother. This is accomplished with the help of two nannies for three kids, ‘(because she can afford it”) and a disturbing loose cannon of a husband who will beat her up and blame the tennis instructor’s serve. He feigns interest in his demon offspring but throws them to Ezperanza every time the girls cry or make a sound. “Here, take her,” he all but throws Curly Sue to Inez because she was acting poorly at the manicurists. Those children are going to be beat within an inch of their life if Inez and Ezperanza don’t take them as their own. Alexis just keeps getting bigger cup sizes as the twisted, kinky demands of her rapist husband who uses his place as head of the household to bark orders and strike PTSD into his girl’s hearts. Alexis made her mother undergo a frivolous makeover because she was too “plain” to be introduced to the glitz and tits and ass of her Kodadecosasomacusa culdesac wives. Now she looks like a lot of the elderly tarts I see turning tricks in downtown San Francisco’s Tenderloin for their crack habits. Or at least that’s what the makeup and age in-appropriate threads make her seem like.

    IF I was to meet Alexis, I’m sure I would adore her. I’m a fag who loves pretty girls and all their makeup especially if I can try it on sometimes. I just wish she would snap out of her path to the peril and get the breast reduction that will take the guesswork out of trying to decide if Alexis is more than just a great set of cock-sucking lips.

    WOW! That is how the world turns. If Alexis Bellino was not on T.V. would we care about what her past reveals?
    The answer is NO!

    The fact that she is a Christian should make her a NUN, and walk around like a NUN? Ummm… THE ANSWER IS NO…… that is exactly why people do not want to be a Christian & believe in God, because we are judge about everything we do, we are to be sin-free and perfect! But guess what, if we were perfect and sin-free, why did Christ die for us? THE FACT THAT WE ARE CHRISTIANS ARE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT PERFECT HUMAN BEINGS AND BY KNOWING THAT, GOD’S MERCY AND GRACE GUIDES US, JESUS SHED HIS BLOOD FOR US CHRISTIANS TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE AFTER THIS WORLD, WE ARE SAVED, YES WE WILL BE JUDGED BUT BY…..GOD. People, please listen when we judge and ridicule people especially because they are Christians, why would the unbeliever want to become Christians? We do not know what Alexis went through and why she is on the show. Maybe she says and do things that we questions, but we all do things that make people talk… That is not for us to say anything about.

    to me she is and was ugly in her twenties hot in her thirties No she may not be authentic but who cares no one is these days. She is very pretty and I have notced that Gretchen had to take a step down because another mean ol’ dog moved in (alexis). I believe that Gretchen maybe a little malnourished thsese days. Her face looks sucken in not the pretty gorgeus gretchen I am used to. Her face is looking a little skully. She is pretty VERY PRETTY gretchen seems to be alot more fun too. Yeah I could see ALEXIS being this major major closet bitch. You can tell she married for money.

    Lizzie says: - March 23, 2010 at 3:33 am

    Melissa, no one here is pretending to be a Christian so your argument is meaningless. AlexAss and Taliban Jim pretend to be so pious and Christian, and then she dresses like a common whore and can’t even raise her own kids.

    Anyone who knows anything about the teachings of the Bible will tell you that vanity is a deadly sin. The Bible speaks at length about the pitfalls of vanity and the worship of other gods (such as money!). AlexAss and Taliban may fool themselves, but they’re not fooling anyone else. The pastor may put up with their nonsense because they bring money into his church (dirty money at that). But the public in general knows that the Bellinos are as fake as AlexAss’s boobs. They’ll fall sooner or later, and it’s not going to be pretty for them.

    LOL @ AlexAss and Taliban Jim. Lizzie you are on fire. Thanks.

  18. 168

    She looks like an aardvark.

  19. 169

    lol dont surprise me i cant stand her what a fake

  20. 170

    alexis and her husband are really disgusting. That husband is horrible, and needs some plastic surgery himself. ON everything. They never take care of the kids, 2 nannies? How does this happen in life? The only thing that I ever wanted was peace, health and happiness. That is real. Money is the root of all evil, and the housewifes are selfish, plastic boobs. Once the cameras come on, it takes over there lives. I dont feel sorry for them, when they have money troubles, they blame the economy, and its from there own foolishness.

  21. 171

    Seems the HW real lives are better than their “reality” lives.

  22. 172

    Oh Please What a phony ! And don’y worry about anyone wanting your husband he is definately NOT HOT, he’s all yours.
