‘RHOC’: One Woman Is Accused of a ‘Total Slap in the Face’ — and It’s Not Who Brought Up Child Services

Accusations are piling up The Real Housewives of Orange County.

On Wednesday’s episode of the Bravo show, Gina Kirschenheiter claimed her personal life was in the crosshairs of Shannon Storms Beador during a tequila-fueled speech at her Taco Tuesday party.

Last week, Shannon held a taco fest with just three housewives – Tamra Judge, Jenn Pedranti and Taylor Armstrong – after she accused Gina, Emily Simpson and Heather Dubrow of spreading rumors about her relationship with boyfriend John Janssen.

During Shannon’s explosive toast, she claimed that if it weren’t for her act of kindness, Gina would have almost lost custody of her children to Child Protective Services (CPS) after being stressed in 2019.

Gina confided in Emily, who used her legal expertise to refute Shannon’s alleged version of events.

“A lot of people get a DUI and for CPS to be involved, there would have to be a case,” Emily explained in a confessional interview. “And there would have to be due diligence and they would do interviews.”

The 39-year-old mother of three admitted that Shannon felt targeted and that her “name should not have been mentioned, period.” Emily then stated to Gina, “It’s clear Shannon just doesn’t like you.”

“This is a whole other level,” Gina told Emily. “She has no respect for me and it upsets me so much that you’ve come to a place where you’re finally okay and someone’s sole mission is to just tear you down.”

Gina then continued with the cameras: “I made a mistake four years ago. And Shannon is such a good friend and helps me a lot by not letting anyone ever forget. Every time he mentions it, it gets worse and worse and worse. The next time I meet a new friend, I’m going to be a killer!”

Later in the episode, Shannon met with Heather to discuss her issue with the former actress and share details about her relationship.

Heather opened the conversation with a preface, saying her “goal” for their candid conversation was to “get to a better place today and whatever we need to talk about or how we need to get there — that’s what I want.” ” Heather continued, adding that she had been a “good friend” and had not “defiled” their relationship with Shannon’s claims.

Shannon, on the other hand, admitted that she wasn’t convinced that the two would be able to come to a solution based on their previous attempts to let water under the bridge.

“I don’t have any hope that we will solve anything, but I want to hear what she has to say. Because Heather’s breach of the vault I thought we had together is a total slap in the face,” she said in the confessional, while Heather claimed “there’s no vault” because Shannon “gives everybody a combination!”

As the duo recounted the chain of events, Heather defended herself again and said she was no more to blame than the other housewives.

“Once again, Heather, I feel like we’re on a – to use your term – hamster wheel,” Shannon replied. “I have relationship issues that most people have and I hope we can work it out because I’ve never loved someone more in my life.”

Terry Dubrow’s wife expressed confusion on camera, stating that she “doesn’t know what to believe anymore” because Shannon usually gives “information privately” that she shares with “everyone privately.”

Despite their complaints, Heather apologized to Shannon and became emotional as she explained that it was never her intention to “do anything to hurt you.”

As she wiped away a tear, Shannon noticed that she hadn’t bought her plumbing and rhetorically asked the cameras, “How many times do you practice that in front of the mirror?”

The couple eventually decided to move on and give each other some space to recover their “hurt” feelings.

While she may have buried the hatchet with Heather, the drama didn’t end there for Shannon. Later, at Taylor’s pumpkin carving party, Gina asked the ladies attending Shannon’s party to corroborate her claims about her children being taken away by child services.

Both Taylor and Tamra claimed they didn’t remember, leaving Jenn out at the end.

When Tamra informed Shannon of the latest, she shouted across the table and denied her previous claims, accusing Jenn of “starting the s—.”

“I never said that. God killed me. That’s when I know I didn’t say something,” she added, while the other ladies pointed out that Jenn wouldn’t know that information unless she was told otherwise as the newest addition to the cast.

While Tamra corroborated Shannon’s story, Jenn admitted that she was “disappointed” that her loyalties lay elsewhere when Tamra was the one who filled her in on the details.

“Shannon is super aloof when she doesn’t say that, which tells me you totally know you said that,” she said to the cameras. “At this moment it would be nice to feel my friend standing by my side and watching over me.”

Gina sets the record straight and says her children were never in danger of being taken away, and confronts Shannon about the vendetta she seems to have against her.

“The only thing I’ve ever said is that I respect you enough not to talk about your relationship,” she said. “So if that’s offensive to you, and that’s why you want to— on me and my family and my kids and my life constantly Shannon, then that’s fine.”

Shannon then admitted that she mistakenly assumed that Gina was spreading rumors about her relationship, which resulted in her telling others about Gina’s life.

“I feel like there are little misunderstandings that then turn into big ones because we’re probably both assuming the worst in each other at this point,” Gina replied.
