On Tuesday’s episode of Real Housewives of Orange County, viewers were reminded of how delusional Alexis Bellino is with her Katie Kourig-ing, and why they don’t like Jim Bellino one bit! Well, now the Bible thumping couple is speaking out in defense of their marriage and insisting they’re right with each other and the teachings of Jesus.RELATED: Awkward moments abound for O.C. 'Housewives'
Taking to his own blog, created purely to dispel the myth of Bravo editing (which is why he supposedly stopped appearing on the show in the first place), Jim explains that his marriage is actually very balanced and supportive.
“This dinner was more than two hours long, but what viewers will see is a two-minute segment put together for TV that doesn’t really show you the in-depth conversation and the detailed discourse that was had,” Jim begins. Adding that while he is “no theologian” the bible evokes that “a husband and wife shall be like-minded in life’s journey.”
“As the head of the household, I know that ultimately it is my responsibility to ensure that balance is always a priority, and that’s exactly what I was thinking about during my dinner with Alexis.” (Bolded By Jim for dramatic effect!). And Jim says his scrutiny over Alexis’ schedule was purely out of concern for her happiness.
“If you looked up one morning to find that your wife had three jobs and was running two companies, would you not want to address it with her, out of concern that she may become overwhelmed?;” he wonders. “Alexis is her own person, and I am not married to her to decide what challenges she takes up—I am here as her partner in marriage and in life to remind her of the big picture, just as she does for me.”
“Part of making my family the best family it can be is to challenge both Alexis and myself to always keep the balance. But because I need to fill the role of the chauvinist, bigoted, crazy Christian, the information is not delivered to you that way,” Jim insists.
“Instead what you see are disjointed snippets of a long and very nuanced conversation that make it seem as though I am calling Alexis’ ability and judgment into question, which is not the case at all,” he continues. “When I said a woman’s place is in the home, I had been cracking very dry jokes throughout the conversation.”
“In my mind, when this show is over, I will still be the breadwinner for my family. What Alexis brings to the table with her various careers and businesses is exceptional, and I am very proud of her.” Fair enough!
Alexis also speaks out and maintains that she and Jim see eye-to-eye on family roles. “My family dynamic has definitely changed over the past two years. When I first began with the Housewives, I never pictured my career being what it is today,” she explains in her Bravo Blog. “You all know that Jim and I have always agreed that we have very different roles in our household. I was the caretaker inside the home, and he was the caretaker outside the home.”
“However, with my career where it is currently, that is simply impossible. I happened to change my role mid-marriage and Jim jumped on board immediately. I am very thankful for this.” Alexis insists that despite how it appears, Jim is entirely supportive of her goals and her career. “I love that man and I value his advice! He has always truly been 100 percent supportive of my career and 100 percent honest with me. I would not have married him otherwise.”
Moving on, Alexis also talks about her so-called horrendous and unprofessional appearance on her latest Fox5 news segment. Alexis explains that she was just very passionate about the subject and that in actuality she did a great job. “Here is my actual Fox5 interview. It went amazing!” she tweeted.
Alexis also took issue with the way Bravo portrayed her newscastering, Tweeting: “If they saw the REAL segment everyone would vote I did great! That was a crock what you guys did to me! :-( ” She added, “it went smoothly & everyone spoke equally!XO” And you can see for yourself – a clip of Alexis in the real segment is below. It’s much improved from the Dr. Booty episode. Yikes!
