According to The Blast, Jim Bellino appealed the decision that Shannon Beador was dismissed from his $1 million defamation lawsuit. On January 18, Bellino filed court documents in his lawsuit informing the Real Housewives of Orange County star that he is appealing the ruling earlier this month that threw out all claims against her.
Meanwhile, the claims against Beador's co-star Tamra Judge have yet to be ruled on.
But sources reveal that Beador was aware of Bellino’s legal move. “Shannon is going back to court with David in her divorce on Wednesday,” a source close to RHOC star told Radar Online. “That’s where she is focusing all of her energy.”
Shannon is looking forward to finally ending her marriage once and for all.
As previously reported, this all went down when Tamra and Shannon appeared on Heather McDonald’s live Juicy Scoop podcast in June. “He was very crusty … I almost sent her a message saying, ‘I’m so sorry,’ but then you sent me that text saying, ‘Do you think that he’s trying to protect her? Do you think that he’s in trouble and she can’t testify against him if he’s in trouble?” Judge said at the time.
Multiple blogs reported that Judge said her “theory” was Jim is “going to jail.” Meanwhile, Beador reportedly claimed “people get paralyzed” at his trampoline park business and the estranged couple “got sued” because of it, according to Us Weekly.
Jim filed for divorce from Alexis after 13 years of marriage on June 21, citing irreconcilable differences. They are parents of son James and twin daughters Melania and Mackenna. The former couple broke their silence on their split in a joint statement:
“Outside of the news of our decision to part ways, there is nothing provocative, alluring, or sordid about the dissolution of our marriage. Quite to the contrary, we strongly support each other just as we have since the beginning of our relationship.”
