Are they shutting the Bea-door on this friendship?
Shannon Beador challenged Gina Kirschenheiter to “get to [her] level” on Wednesday night’s episode of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” — and proceeded to call her longtime frenemy a “f—king a—hole” as she walked away from their explosive argument.
“I hope for you that you can get to my level,” Beador, 57, said, to which Kirschenheiter, 37, quipped back, “Let’s hope we can jump up to the bar.”
She added, “I really hope that. One day, maybe I’ll make it over!”
The women were fighting over Kirschenheiter saying that Beador might be “jealous” of her friendship with OG “RHOC” star Heather Dubrow.
“You know what the funniest part of it is? I’m so freakin’ busy in good ways. I’ve never been better with my kids, never been better with my personal relationship and never been better in my business,” the Real for Real founder told Kirschenheiter moments before lobbing expletives at her.
“And you’re questioning that I’m jealous,” she continued. “There’s no arrogance in that, Gina?”
Kirschenheiter — who suggested that Beador had confused her newfound confidence with conceit — then expressed pity for her onscreen adversary.
“At the end of the day, Shannon, I feel bad for you. I do. I feel bad for you and I’m not going to do this anymore. I’m not going to circle the drain with you and I won’t because I’ve moved on. I’m happy,” the CaraGala Skincare creator said.
“Gina, put a pin in your ego!” an angry Beador snapped back. “You’re a f—king a—hole!”
Despite their friction, Kirschenheiter told Page Six in December 2021 that she can appreciate what Beador brings to “RHOC.”
“Four years later, I’m still trying to get to know Shannon!” said Kirschenheiter, who joined in Season 13.
“As much as I don’t like Shannon, I love her. I really do and I think she’s an important part of this cast. I think she brings a very interesting point of view and element and resistance to rationality. And I think that’s really interesting to watch.”
“The Real Housewives of Orange County” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
