Gina Kirschenheiter appeared on Thursday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, where she shared her thoughts on whether Tamra Judge truly ran a background check on Ryan Boyajian.
As she also reacted to Heather Dubrow‘s shady question about Jennifer Pedranti‘s $2,000 dress, addressed rumors about Jim Bellino, 62, dating Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, 49, and shared who “leaks stories,” the 40-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star spoke of the reunion, John Janssen‘s lawsuit claims, and her friendships with Heather, 55, and Katie Ginella, 40.
“I think it really was actually just the mortgage information. I don’t think she did,” Gina said after being asked if Tamra, 57, ran a background check on Ryan, 46, on the October 17 episode of WWHL.
As for why Heather questioned the price of Jen’s dress, she shared, “That was very shady, lady. I love Heather, but she was not concerned.”
What she didn’t think was shady was when Heather told Tamra she knew the designer, which led Tamra to question how she knew them.
“I don’t think that Heather was being shady. I think Tamra was being a little shady, but I think she was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t take offense to that,” Gina confirmed.
Moving on to the rumors of a romance between Jim and Elizabeth, and whether she spoke to Alexis Bellino, 47, about them, Gina noted, “I don’t generally hear from Alexis so I wouldn’t have thought that I would have. [But] I was very surprised by that as well but also, like, not surprised.”
At that point, Andy Cohen, 56, interjected, revealing that he heard from someone from Orange County, who confirmed the rumor was “not true.”
“It seems weird to me. I should’ve texted her,” Gina replied.
Then, when she was asked which cast member leaks stories, she said, “Well, Tamra’s got her own podcast.”
Reflecting on the reunion, Gina admitted that she was surprised by the events of the taping.
“It really was great. It’s the first time I walked away and I was like, ‘Wow, that was actually, like, kind of nice,’” she explained.
Regarding the latest episode of RHOC, Gina said that “Tamra was wrong for everything she was doing in the moment,” and she applauded Jennifer for standing up to her amid their fight.
“Oh my gosh, she walloped her. For Jen, that was an 11, 12, 13,” Gina stated.
Months after the falling out between the Tres Amigas, which included Tamra, Shannon Beador, 60, and Vicki Gunvalson, 63, Gina confessed to feeling that there was still hope for a reconciliation.
“I mean, I’ve watched them make up a lot where I never thought they were gonna come back. So I always leave space. There’s an opening there,” she suspected.
Also on the live broadcast, after admitting that boyfriend Travis Mullen was “such a good sport” about her revealing he has big balls on the show, and he “should’ve been more mad,” Gina reacted to the news of John’s supposed promissory note to Shannon.
“I never heard of anybody sending a promissory note retroactively, though. So that was kind of weird. And I think that explains maybe half of it,” she reasoned. “I think the whole thing… She offered the man the money. Take the money and move on.”
Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Gina was asked if she was closer to Heather or Katie.
“Oh, Heather,” she replied. “I am very close with Heather. I love Heather, and I have for years, and you know, Heather, I love her so much. She’s just a pain in the a**. But I love her.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
