RHOC: Gina Calls Out Braunwyn For Ditching Noella After Being Fired

Gina Kirschenheiter is calling out her former The Real Housewives of Orange County costar Braunwyn Windham-Burke for ditching her friend Noella Bergener after she joined the show. Braunwyn left the Bravo reality series earlier this year before production began for season 16. She was fired from the series along with Kelly Dodd and one season-wonder Elizabeth Lyn Vargas. Following their departures, Heather Dubrow returned to the cast after a five-year hiatus.

Other than Heather joining the show, Noella became a full-time cast member on RHOC. Dr. Jennifer Armstrong was also confirmed as a housewife along with Noella. Both ladies were friends with Braunwyn long before joining the show as they both attended her vow renewal with her husband Sean Burke, which was shown during RHOC season 15. Now it seems Braunwyn might be a little bitter that hers are on the show, and she isn’t.

In a recent interview with Page Six, Gina said that Braunwyn “sucks” for allegedly ditching her friendship with Noella after she joined RHOC. “As soon as Braunwyn found out that she was no longer a part of this [show] and Noella was, Braunwyn just threw her out,” the 37-year-old said, revealing the drama that went on before production for season 16 began. “Noella was hurt by it. And then I was like, ‘Yeah, well, Braunwyn sucks like that.’” Gina and Brauwnyn had a falling out last season, which was started when Gina accused Braunwyn’s husband Sean of sending her a creepy text message. Since then, the two never seemed to get along. Despite Gina’s feud with Braunwyn, she was able to bond with Noella over their shared feuds with the former Housewife.

After Gina met Noella at Heather’s home for her dinner party, she was immediately drawn to her new castmate. “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,” Gina confessed. The mother of three also added that RHOC has been a lot more fun to film since Braunwyn got the boot earlier this year. However, she does feel empathy for the mother of seven as Braunwyn navigates her new life of sobriety and as a gay woman. “I still feel bad for Braunwyn,” the reality star said. “And I really do wholeheartedly hope that her children are OK and everything’s OK there.” With Brauwnyn out of the picture, Gina is very happy with the new RHOC cast. While she knows not every woman on the cast is the best person, Gina admits this season felt the most “real” to her in the four seasons she has been on the show.

Even though Gina wishes Braunwyn nothing but the best, she admitted that her former costar isn’t this amazing human being she tries to portray online. Overall, Gina is happy about the RHOC shake-up and is looking forward to hearing what the viewers think of the rest of the season.

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.
