Real Housewives of Orange County star Gina Kirschenheiter revealed her POV regarding Shannon Beador and the former producer who made slanderous claims against her.
How it started:
In an Instagram comment, former RHOC producer Patrick McDonald accused Shannon of allegedly “losing her sh*t” and “yelling, screaming and cussing at the producers and crew” moments before cameras began to roll.
Patrick called Shannon one of the “most miserable and narcissistic housewives across the entire brand.”
How it’s going:
In an interview with Virtual Reali-Tea, Gina made it clear that Shannon is the same person on camera that she is off camera. “I only know my relationships with the producers. I feel like if he’s referencing something, he’s referencing something from like a more private moment. I’ve not necessarily seen that.”
“Now have I seen Shannon have a moment? Yeah,” Gina remarked. “But also, let’s look at what she’s gone through on this show. Do I justify it? Have I ever done it? No.”
“When she’s dealing with [Alexis and John Janssen] and she’s afraid of her ex’s feelings, so she’s flipping out,” Gina explained. “They also showed all that. So, that to me, what they’ve shown, what you’ve seen, is what I’ve seen.”
ICYMI:
Shannon recently addressed the allegations, insisting she was kind to the producer during her difficult season.
“There’s a producer who worked one season on our show and it was Season 18 when I had to film with Alexis Bellino and people here, if they know that I’m talking about.”
The RHOC star added that she was “very withdrawn” during that period and pushed back on the claim that she mistreated the crew. “No, mister, I cooked you dinner and sent you home with a to-go pack,” Shannon clapped back.
RHOC airs Thursdays at 8 pm on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
