Gina Kirschenheiter is involved about Shannon Beador‘s ingesting habits.
Months after her 59-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County co-star was arrested for DUI after driving right into a Newport Beach house whereas intoxicated, Gina, 39, stated that Shannon’s conduct is indicative of somebody “who has a problem” as she admitted to hoping her castmate would enter rehab following the controversial arrest.
“They say that that level to which you’re drinking is indicative of somebody who has a problem,” Gina stated on the December 7 episode of The Sarah Fraser Show podcast after it was famous that Shannon was 3 times the authorized restrict.
According to Gina, she credit Shannon’s forgetfulness, significantly relating to the CPS diss she made about Gina’s youngsters following Gina’s personal DUI, to her alcohol use.
“I believe that she didn’t remember saying that [because she was drinking]. That, to me, is a problem,” Gina famous.
As for whether or not Shannon is presently ingesting, Gina, after an extended pause, admitted she was not sure.
“This is not information that I know directly from myself so I don’t know whether to verify it or not but I have heard…. She’s not said that she’s not drinking, right?” Gina requested. “I would ask her that question. She’s not gonna be outed, I’ll tell you that much. It’s hard for me because I don’t like speaking on things that I’ve heard through other people and I don’t know that directly but I would be very curious… I was shocked that nobody asked her that point blank at BravoCon.”
After enduring the fallout of her personal DUI in 2019, Gina made the choice to cease ingesting, though she has had a few sips right here and there.
“I haven’t drank in almost two years,” she started, clarifying, “If I’m cheers-ing with Heather Dubrow, I can have a sip of champs and it’s not a big deal. Everybody’s sobriety is different that’s why I don’t push. I’m not trying to drive the sober train I just think everybody should do what is good for them and maybe not do the things that are bad for them.”
Specifically talking of Shannon, Gina stated her ingesting habits don’t appear to be having a constructive affect on her life.
“I think it’s only contributing bad things in her life. My take on it is, why don’t you just try [sobriety]?” she requested. “And if you’re not an alcoholic and you don’t have a problem with drinking, it should be very easy to simply just stop drinking for a bit.”
Following the information of Shannon’s DUI, rumors swirled that her ex-boyfriend, John Janssen, might not have had one of the best affect over her attributable to his alleged love of partying. However, based on Gina, Shannon is the one individual chargeable for her selections.
“It’s her drinking and I’m not going to say it’s not,” Gina declared. “I’m somebody who went through that experience and I will never blame the mistake that I made on anybody else. It’s because of my choices that I decided to make. Are there contributing factors to why perhaps you’re drinking more or you’re a little out of control? Yeah, but at the end of the day, you make the choice to get in that vehicle and drive that car.”
After then saying, “I hoped,” when requested if she thought Shannon would go to rehab after her DUI, Gina appeared again on her drama with Andy Cohen, 55, who shaded the price of her house in October.
“It hurt my feelings when I saw that … I was like, ‘Wow, that was hurtful,’ because I do have a relationship with Andy. I’m not Sarah Jessica Parker. We’re not besties. But I have known Andy Cohen for six years.”
Looking again on her determination to clap again on the diss, Gina stated she determined to vocalize her ideas because of the nature of her and Andy’s friendship — and since she knew he’d reply appropriately.
“I know him enough to know that he’s gonna do the right things and respond correctly because he does give a sh*t about me. … And I can tell you right now, I think I put that out there in the evening… I woke up to a text message from Andy Cohen that said, ‘I’m very sorry for what I said. You were completely right. I was out of line and I’ve also already publicly apologized on my radio show,’” Gina revealed. “I want to highlight that because that says more about Andy Cohen to me than him misstepping … That’s who Andy Cohen is. He’s not perfect but he takes responsibility for his missteps and he apologizes where [he needs] to.”
Following their public spat, Gina bumped into Andy at BravoCon.
“I was like, ‘Oh, do I feel uncomfortable, don’t I feel uncomfortable?’ He just came right up to me and gave me a kiss ‘hello’ and said I looked beautiful and we moved on,” she revealed.
While she and boyfriend Travis Mullen have been relationship since 2019, and staged a faux wedding ceremony earlier this 12 months with their mixed six children, Gina stated the 2 of them are in no rush to make their “marriage” official.
“In the fairytale version of our love, we’re already married. But reality dictates, we each have three kids, we both went through train wreck divorces, we’re trying to build our life up and right now, the priority is not a ring and a party,” she defined. “We want a bigger home and we want to go on vacation and take a break every once in a while. Do I want to celebrate our love in some capacity? Absolutely. But we live as a family and other than that, it’s just legal stuff and in my experience, it’s all just like expensive and not really that necessary. I get it. Part of me wants that but it’s just not on our radar right now.”
Also on the present, Gina was requested if she needs Vicki Gunvalson, 61, to return to RHOC.
“Um, okay, so, well here’s the thing,” she started. “I genuinely feel this way and I don’t understand why Vicki doesn’t feel this way: She’s obviously paved the way, She is an icon. She was celebrated at the Bravos. Why does she want to be a full-time [housewife ]? It’s not easy to be a full-time cast member. It’s a ton of work. You gotta get in it with everybody. I feel she’s earned the right to just sprinkle herself in where she wants to.”
Although Gina loves Vicki and thinks she’s “hysterical,” she additionally feels she’s above the present.
“Why don’t they make her a host of something?” she puzzled. “You earn your stripes. It’s like a professional athlete and then they go and they’re a moderator on ESPN or whatever. I think she should graduate to the next phase. It almost feels to me like it is beneath her”
That stated, Gina added, “If she is [coming back], I would be happy to have her.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 is anticipated to enter manufacturing within the coming weeks.
