Gina Kirschenheiter: I Felt Like Shannon Finally Let Her Walls Down

"Her behavior towards me thus far has been indicative of someone dealing with some jealousy issues."

By Gina Kirschenheiter
Shannon Beador Apologizes to the Group

Bravotv.com: Shannon admitted at dinner that it's hard to hear about your peaceful divorce process, because that's what she wanted for herself. How did you feel when you heard that?  

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on  Peacock and the Bravo App.

Gina Kirschenheiter: I think it took a lot for Shannon to admit what she did at dinner. I felt like she finally let her walls down and was honest with me, as well as herself. I wasn’t surprised by this admission. Her behavior towards me thus far has been indicative of someone dealing with some jealousy issues. I was just glad she was able to come to terms with this. I am hoping it will allow us to move forward and respect each other more. It was also good, because it lets me feel like I could be honest and vulnerable with her and that it would be heard. Positive step. 

Bravotv.com: Were you surprised that Kelly, Tamra, Vicki, and Shannon were able to move so quickly from their argument?

GK: I was super shocked that the women all moved on from the argument that quickly. If the crux of the argument was something silly, it would have been a relief for them to move on. There was a lot of discussion about Shannon and her mental state and potential drinking issues. I don’t feel like this is something that should have been wrapped up with a bow in one conversation. 

Bravotv.com: Do you think that kiss with Shannon sealed a newfound friendship?

GK: LOL, all I can say is that we ended on good terms, and I hope to build off of that!
