AceShowbiz - Chloe Tucker Caine, the 33-year-old star of Netflix's "Owning Manhattan", has expressed strong opinions on the latest drama surrounding "The Real Housewives of Orange County".

In an interview with Page Six's "Virtual Reali-Tea" podcast, Caine defended her friend Shannon Beador and slammed Alexis Bellino. "It's like she's trying to keep sticking it to Shannon," Caine said of Bellino. "And Shannon's like, 'I want to move on.' "

Caine was particularly critical of Bellino's threats to release allegedly damning footage of Beador. "How dare Alexis be ... stringing this in her face, like, dangling this carrot," she said. "John just sounds like the worst."

Beador has been embroiled in a legal battle with her ex-boyfriend John Janssen over payments for a facelift. Caine believes Janssen's actions are motivated by a desire for attention. "I think he wants a storyline," she said.

In addition to her thoughts on the "RHOC" drama, Caine also weighed in on Jonathan Normolle's claim that he orchestrated his own firing on "Owning Manhattan". "It's so crazy," Caine said, emphasizing that she would welcome him back on the show if only to confront him.

Caine, who did not film any one-on-one scenes with Normolle, described him as "a boy who negotiated his way onto planet Earth" who needs to "sit down." She said she would tell him, "Listen, I'm going to need you to put the helmet [down], stop talking, and listen."
