Gina Kirschenheiter is really coming into her own as a housewife. After a rough few seasons due to her personal life, it looks like she’s finally ready to stir the pot on screen. But the Real Housewives of Orange County star still has some opinions lingering about her former castmates, namely Braunwyn Windham-Burke. The two really fell out after their dramatic pool party fight where Gina called Braunwyn a “sloppy chihuahua.” Gina got some flack for it considering Braunwyn was newly sober. The two tried to hash it out but they never really made any strides towards a real friendship after that.
Now Gina has revealed to Page Six that Braunwyn was less than enthused about now former friend Noella Bergener joining the cast. Braunwyn brought in Noella and Dr. Jen Armstrong, only to find herself out of a job. Said, Gina, “As soon as Braunwyn found out that she was no longer a part of this [show] and Noella was, Braunwyn just threw her out.” Braunwyn has previously denied the claim and said that she was happy for her friends. Gina went on, “Noella was hurt by it. And then I was like, ‘Yeah, well, Braunwyn sucks like that.’”

Gina admits that she was able to bond with Noella for their shared feud with Braunwyn. Gina was also drawn to Noella from their first meeting. She admitted, “I felt like [we were] at ground level. I walked in that house and she had butterflies in her hair and s—t … I was like, ‘You’re amazing!’” Gina added, “She was saying all kinds of weird s—t. I was like, ‘I wanna be by you all day.’ That was my perspective of her. I thought she was fun.”

And Gina thinks RHOC is more fun without Braunwyn overall. She confessed, “I still don’t know what’s going on with Braunwyn. I still feel bad for Braunwyn. I really do. I have from the beginning. And I really do wholeheartedly hope that her children are OK and everything’s OK there.” Gina maintains that she doesn’t harbor any ill will towards her former castmate but that Braunwyn is “just not the best” person. She concluded, “Like, if you had to nominate your best humans as tribute for your best human board, I wouldn’t nominate her, no.”
