In this week’s episode of The Real Housewives Of Orange County, real estate agent Gina Kirschenheiter finally confronts Heather Dubrow about choosing new cast mate/ real estate agent Carmella Garcia instead of her to find a San Diego apartment to rent for her daughter, Max Dubrow.
Our exclusive clip begins with Kirschenheiter, Dubrow, Garcia, and Tamra Judge seated at a table inside a gorgeous restaurant. “I’m just going to talk about this,” says Kirschenheiter to Dubrow. “You had said that Max was going to be looking for a home, and you had suggested that you were going to reach out to Carmella about that.”
“Yes,” confirms Dubrow. “Both Tamra and Emily [Simpson] told you that Gina’s probably going to be upset by that,” said Kirschenheiter. Dubrow leans in, bracing for what is coming. “You are my friend—you know that—then to go to her instead of me was very hurtful,” begins Kirschenheiter. “I’ve known you for 5 years, and you ask my opinion about a lot of real estate things. So, the fact that you didn’t ask my opinion on that when I know Max is really hurtful to me.”
In her confessional, Kirschenheiter continues: “I think it’s really shitty that Heather didn’t come to me. We are in this environment where the support of your friends matters, and she knows that and she chose not to support me.”
Back at the table, Dubrow responds: “I’m so sorry you’re hurt by that. To me, I’m looking for a rental for Max potentially in an area that Carmella lives in. I’m not buying a home. I’m looking for a rental. Meanwhile, Garcia shifts in her seat, clearly uncomfortable.
“But even that blew my mind,” snaps Kirschenheiter. From across the table, Judge nods in agreement. “You spoke unkindly about her, and then you’re like, ‘I’m gonna go and have her help me with real estate,’” says Kirschenheiter sharply. “What the fuck? Are you fake as fuck?”
In her confessional, Garcia expresses her disbelief that these women are talking about her like she’s not at the table. “This is a little awkward, says Garcia. “I’m right here! Like, I’m at this dinner, ladies.”
In the present, Dubrow responds to Kirschenheiter. “I would think you know me well enough to know I’m not fucking fake. I prejudged this woman. I feel fucking bad about it.” Clearly agitated, Dubrow’s voice begins to rise. “We were actually getting to know each other and like each other,” says Dubrow as restaurant patrons begin to turn and look at the women. Judge tries in vain to shush Dubrow.
“Then I feel fucking terrible for what I did,” says Dubrow. “You should feel terrible about that,” cries Kirschenheiter. “But that gets brought up,” says Dubrow, alluding to the fact that Kirschenheiter had known that Dubrow prematurely spoke poorly about Garcia. “But that’s not me. I didn’t do that,” says Kirschenheiter. “Well, you told Emily,” snaps Dubrow.
In her confessional, Kirschenheiter has no patience for Dubrow. “Heather’s deflecting. The bottom line is you called Carmella trashy. If you don’t want something to get spread around, don’t fucking say it.”
At the table, Dubrow is still talking. “When I heard that information got disseminated—to be honest with you—what I thought was you did that on purpose to hurt me,” says Dubrow. “No, you’re wrong,” replies Kirschenheiter. “I think you’re twisting this for no reason.” “This is my opinion on it,” says Dubrow firmly. “Well, your opinion sucks,” says Kirschenheiter.
Will Dubrow and Kirschenheiter reach some sort of resolution on the topic? Will Garcia get to speak her piece? Will Judge apologize to their fellow restaurant patrons on behalf of her castmates? Tune in to tonight’s all-new episode of The Real Housewives Of Orange County at 8PM ET on Bravo.
