Real Housewives of Orange County fans have noticed that there is no love lost between Shannon Beador and Gina Kirschenheiter, with tensions simmering between the cast members for most of season 16.
Things initially started off friendly between the pair when Shannon confided in Gina and Emily Simpson over newbie Nicole James, and told them that she had sued Heather Dubrow’s husband years ago in unaired scenes.
RHOC viewers know by now that nothing stays hidden behind those infamous gates, and it didn’t take long for Gina to come clean to Heather on what had been said behind her back, leaving her party in tatters.
Speaking about the scenes in a chat with Metro.co.uk, Shannon accused her co-stars of having a secret agenda against her, and being in ‘cahoots’ together.
‘For some reason, Emily and Gina, when you get the two of them together… I believe that Emily is a different person when she’s on her own. But then when she and Gina get together, they back each other no matter what,’ she told us.
‘I think they have an agenda where they’re going to… They don’t like the fact that I called them untrustworthy. But if you look at my history with Emily and Gina last season, they hear a story and they run and put it on camera. They put a rumor out about my boyfriend that was absolutely unfounded.’

‘Back in the day when I started the show, there was this unwritten code that if there was a rumor circulating out there, you made sure that it was true before you’d ever discussed it on camera,’ she continued.
‘They can be big pot stirrers. I think they’re probably in cahoots, they’re probably going to try and discredit me.
‘They think that I told them about Nicole because I wanted them to discuss it on camera and that was not my intent at all, I was just speculating with them because nothing made sense to me.’
Friendships were shaken when it was revealed that Nicole had previously filed a lawsuit against Heather’s husband over a medical procedure years ago, before later striking up a friendship with the reality star – and had kept quiet about their legal history beforehand.

While Heather squashed the drama with Nicole and Gina, she took aim at Shannon for bringing it up in the first place, leading to confusion and a very dramatic showdown.
Having none of it, the mom-of-three also insisted that she does take responsibility for ‘speculating’ about their friendship – but vowed that her co-star needs to own up to the part she played.
‘I’ll take some responsibility but it’s not 100% on me, not at all. I told two people, not the world. Gina did, Gina told the world,’ she added.

‘It was my mistake to discuss it with Gina and Emily. But Gina, take responsibility for bringing something up and ruining Heather’s party.
‘Gina’s the one that made it public and brought it up on camera.’
