Gina Kirschenheiter is getting real about how the Real Housewives of Orange County cast feels about their co-star Katie Ginella.
The former Casita-dwelling real estate agent told Page Six that Katie makes the women of RHOC feel “unsafe.”
Katie’s villain origin story:
Katie’s downward spiral within the cast accelerated after she secretly recorded Shannon’s BTS meltdown after season 18.
True to form, Tamra ‘Tammy Sue‘ Judge was the one to relay the info to the group. She alleged that Katie played the recording in front of Jennifer Pedranti and, more notably, Alexis Bellino.
Katie maintains that she never sent the audio recording to Jen or Alexis and only shared it with her husband, Matt Ginella.
A line was crossed:
Gina gave her POV. “It’s never bad enough to record anyone. It would never be my instinct.”
“I think the fact that that’s her instinct is what the problem is. When your instinct is [to] record? Problem! It’s just as simple as that, right?”
“With that said, I mean, I didn’t hear it, but I’m quite certain that Shannon probably was losing her sh*t. But she also was having, like, the worst year of her life.”
Gina described Katie’s “instinct to record” Shannon as “icky” and “violating.”
“Don’t record it. Go into the next day of filming and tell Shannon.” Gina thinks Katie would have had a “better trajectory” onscreen had she not chosen to capture Shannon’s crashout.
“I just think her instinct is different than what the show really calls for,” Gina concluded.
