RHOC’s Alexis Bellino Said She’s ‘Shocked’ by Gretchen Rossi and Katie Ginella’s ‘Lies’ About the Roofie Allegations
On this season of RHOC, some of the drama involves allegations about roofies at a party in Season 4. At a dinner party hosted by Tamra Judge, Gretchen Rossi was repeatedly served shots of tequila by Judge’s son. Judge admitted that she wanted to get Rossi “naked wasted.” Fifteen seasons later, Judge said Rossi and Katie Ginella spread rumors that she roofied her. Alexis Bellino said she believes both women gave untrue accounts.
‘RHOC’ star Katie Ginella said she heard Tamra Judge roofied Gretchen Rossi
During an explosive dinner during this season of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Judge confronted Rossi over the allegations that she roofied her in Season 4. Ginella, who joined the show in Season 18, allegedly spread the story to a reporter. Ginella repeatedly denied this.
When asked to call the reporter to clear things up, though, she refused. In addition, she later said in a confessional that Rossi told her she went to the hospital after the “naked wasted” night, and doctors found drugs in her system.
For Rossi’s part, she told Judge that she did go to the hospital after the dinner party. In a confessional, though, she said she did not go to the hospital.
Alexis Bellino doesn’t believe the rumors that Tamra Judge roofied Gretchen Rossi on ‘RHOC’
Co-star Alexis Bellino said she believes Rossi told Ginella about the roofie rumor and then lied about it on camera.
“One million percent, after watching the whole episode,” she said on Reality With the King, adding, “Both Katie and Gretchen got caught lying and saying one thing and then saying the other.”
She said the conflicting stories have shocked her, as the women know they are being filmed.
“I’m shocked at how the lies are just like coming around and around and no one’s learning from their mistake,” she said. “It’s like hello, there’s cameras there, people. There’s cameras. You’re gonna get caught in your lie.”
While Bellino doesn’t think Judge should have gleefully discussed getting Rossi “naked wasted” in Season 4, she wishes the women would move on.
“Why are we rehashing something that happened 12 freaking years ago?” she said. “It wasn’t an affair with a husband. It was a stupid little drinking fest words. I don’t think Tamra was correct in using that verbiage and making a joke about that. However, [since] 12 years ago, Tamra’s grown. She’s grown up a little bit.”
Heather Dubrow also said she doesn’t believe the story
Heather Dubrow also doubts Ginella and Rossi’s version of events. She doesn’t think there’s truth to the rumor that Judge roofied Rossi, either.
“Well, I was 100 percent sure there was no truth to the rumor,” she told Us Weekly. “This predated me. It’s a long time ago, a long time ago. I promise you had that been even an inkling of a story, it would have come out already. I knew that it wasn’t a thing. Then the question was, ‘Where’d that come from?’”
She also pushed back at accusations that she’s only defending Judge to protect herself. She believes in her friend.
“When some of the girls are like, ‘Why are you always defending her?’ and I see some comments from audience members like, ‘What does she have on you?’ Nothing,” she said. “We’ve known each other a long time. We’re friends, and when you see a friend really in trouble emotionally, you care for them and you want them to be better.”
