Alexis Bellino Fired From 'The Real Housewives of Orange County' For Boring Storyline

Alexis Bellino and Gretchen Rossi have reportedly been fired from "The Real Housewives of Orange County". 

The castmates, who wrapped up the eighth season of the show earlier this year, were reportedly axed from the show, which is set to begin production on season nine. 

Star Magazine reports the duo's lack of storylines contributed to the decision.

Rossi allegedly got in trouble with producers during Season 8 for her dull plot line and Bellino was reportedly not even supposed to appear on Season 8, but producers brought her back after a new housewife canceled at the last minute.

Last year, rumors swirled that Bellino was not going to return to the show after a massive fallout with all her co-stars. During the "Real Housewives of Orange County" reunion, the ladies accused Rossi of staging her engagement to Slade Smiley for the show and to possibly get her own spin-off show.  

But the proposal might not be enough to salvage her spot on the series.

"Everything is still in the air," Bellino said, according Reality Tea"[Jim] and I haven't addressed it, we're just enjoying the time off. I don't even want to think about it. Right now I'm very undecided and I don't want to think about what we're doing.

"Supposedly, we only have a month, month and a half before everything starts up again. So it's not a very long hiatus. That's basically getting the kids ready for school. Halloween and that's it. That's the end of it," she said.

Rossi have been on the show since Season 4 and Bellino since Season 5.

As for the rest of the cast, Heather Dubrow, Lydia McLaughlin, Tamra Barney and Vicki Gunvalson have reportedly been invited to return.
