Jeff Barry Dishes on Messy Divorce from Alexis Bellino

at .

These days, Alexis Bellino stars on The Real Housewives of Orange County and is married with three kids.

But things weren't always this great for the reality TV star.

Jeff Barry, Bellino's first husband, opened up to Star magazine this week about his messy divorce from Alexis, which took place in 2003, just 15 months after the couple were married.

“We had been college sweethearts in Missouri,” Barry said. “I never dreamt back then that things between us could turn so ugly.”

Barry says Bellino cheated on him and that she "can be an extremely mean, irrational drunk."

In response, Alexis claims Jeff of conducting “a terrifying computer invasion,” of her email account, threatening her and taking $10,000 from their joint savings account.

These two make Jon and Kate Gosselin seem like best friends. Sort of.
