Shannon Beador now has one less legal battle to fight.

The “Real Housewives of Orange County” star, 54, was dismissed from Jim Bellino’s lawsuit against her and Tamra Judge, per court documents obtained by The Blast.

A judge ruled that Bellino, the ex-husband of former cast member Alexis Bellino, failed to prove how he would emerge victorious against Beador, and granted her request to be removed from the case.

Bellino was also ordered to pay the reality star’s legal fees as she previously argued that if he was allowed to depose and seek documents from her, she would have to spend tens of thousands of dollars for his “fishing expedition for information irrelevant” to his lawsuit.

He first sued Judge and Beador for $1 million last year after he claimed they defamed him on a podcast and on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” by saying that his trampoline business was responsible for injuring customers. Judge is still part of the suit.

“We are pleased that the Court agreed with our argument that the First Amendment prohibits lawsuits based on alleged harm caused by someone who simply expressed her true opinion about issues that were already matters of public interest,” her attorney Brett Williamson said in a statement.

“I’m relieved the judge agreed with our position, and grateful to my O’Melveny legal team for all of their hard work on my behalf,” Beador added.

Beador will still have to visit the courthouse though, as she’s in the middle of her divorce from David Beador.
