Alexis Bellino is clapping back following backlash over a recent Instagram post.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Thursdays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

In the post, The Real Housewives of Orange County alum showed the mess she found in between her couch, and wrote, "When your couch accidentally disconnects and you realize your maids aren’t doing deep cleaning. Found 2 socks too..."

After followers apparently took issue with her use of the word "maid," Alexis wrote in another post, "To all: I can and will post whatever I want on my IG. My maids are well paid for and I love them. It was a joke. Get over yourselves, stop trolling, find happiness and please unfollow me ASAP as I'm not looking for any of your approval on my IG. I will continue to be myself on my own social media platform."

And she doubled down in a subsequent post: "I'm actually enjoying blocking all of you haters. I've always left hateful comments up because I don't really care what you think of me. But now that I have a son on IG I'm different. HATERS/TROLLS don't matter. I may end up with zero followers in the end, but guess what... I have strong kids who know ya'll are just miserable folks."

She also stated her "life's mission" is "to stop all of you as I have kids coming into social media."

"God bless you all. Find your true purpose in life. I promise you that God doesn't want you hating on [social] media," she concluded.
