RHOC’s Alexis Bellino Called out Kate Chastain for Shading Her on ‘Below Deck’, Said She Was ‘Two-Faced’
Alexis Bellino from The Real Housewives of Orange County called out Kate Chastain for saying she was her favorite charter guest on Below Deck, but then shading her in confessionals and on Twitter.
Chastain and the rest of the crew rolled their eyes when Bellino and boyfriend Andy Bohn were in an eternal liplock. Bellino also gushed about her divorce, which provided Chastain with endless material. And while Chastain and Bellino are fine, Bellino addressed Chastain’s remarks, calling her “two-faced.”
“Kate Chastain, she was like, ‘You are by far my favorite charter guest I’ve ever had,'” Bellino recalled on the Side Piece with Melissa Pfeister podcast. “And so when she got on Twitter, I called her out. Because after the show aired, she was like ‘Oh Alexis’ is this or that.”
“So I reached out. I Twittered her back and was ‘Girlfriend you are two-faced!'” Bellino recalled. “I was the best guest you ever had! Or is that all blowing smoke up my a**? And she was like ‘No, no I mean you really were.’ So it was just funny.”
Chastain’s comments focused mainly on how much Bellino and Bohn made out. “She private DM’d me after she tweeted on me. She’s like Gretchen [Rossi] kind of like where she just likes to stir it up for the fame of it,” Bellino said. “And that’s not my style, so it’s fine. She’s a hoot, Kate is. She’s a hoot.”
Bellino was a little upset about the shady comments. “We were rolling our eyes and just like, laughing,” she said on a Bravo Insider Life After Bravo video. “Like he laughed about it. I didn’t at first,” she said about Bohn. “I was kinda upset about it at first.”
Bellino said on the podcast and to Bravo Insider that the trip was amazing and the best three days of her life. “Below Deck is truly a lifetime experience,” she said on the podcast. “They wine and dine you. It is so much fun. It’s not like Housewives because you’re actually on vacation. You’re not their employee. So when you want to take your mic off, you take your mic off when you go do whatever you wanna do without the mic on.”
“And if you say I want the water slide out right now, they get you the water slide out right now,” she shared. “I need fresh lobster right now with some chips. They get you fresh lobster right now with some fresh chips.”
She also teased at the price to go on the show. “You are getting a very, very expensive vacation for less than a third of the cost.”
Bellino added that producers want the guests to expect five-star service. “They do ask you to complain about the food if you really don’t like it,” she said. “They want the guests to be honest. That’s why you see some of the charter guests go on and they’re like, ‘I don’t like this!’ Because they do want you to step it up and give the crew a hard time.”
Chastain said Bellino and her friends were pretty easy despite the shade. “These guests are the perfect ones for Simone to do service with because they’re easy-going,” Chastain said on the Below Deck After Show. “Alexis is focused on making out with her new boyfriend. She’s not focused on high service.”
