Oh no! Gina Kirschenheiter was arrested in the wee hours of the morning today for DUI. The new housewife of Orange County was headed home after a late night when the police pulled her over just before four a.m.
The Orange County Sheriff’s department arrested her for DUI in Rancho Santa Margarita near her home and booked her at the Orange County Inmate Release Center for Women. She was cited and released without bond just after noon.
Her next court date is set for February 28th.
She listed her occupation as “unemployed.” which is interesting. However, the last time I inquired about pick-ups for that franchise was mid January and they had not gone out yet. Perhaps she didn’t want to alert anyone that this was a media worthy arrest because police stations are full of paper pushers with loose lips. Or perhaps that is what her divorce filing says and she is trying to be consistent. Edited: Gina announced her return to RHOC two days ago on IG.
What happens when mama doesn’t come home to relieve the baby sitter until noon the next day? Who would she call? Emily? Her husband in LA?
Gina was vocal about attempting some sort of “conscious uncoupling” with her husband after becoming baptized in the ways of California; however, the divorce is still ongoing and is apparently becoming a bit acrimonious. This latest development surely will not help her custody battle.
Gina also go a ticket for running a stop sign in Newport Beach on January 3rd according to The Blast. The Blast was also the first to report this story.
Maybe she can take some time to reflect about spewing Shannon w attacks about her drinking… Gina is tacky tacky tacky
That’s what I was thinking. Gina was relentless about attacking Shannon. Glass houses Gina…
You read my mind!! This will not bode well for her in the divorce.
Normally if it is her first DUI and she was only a little above .08 it wont effect her divorce unless she has a drinking problem or the kids were with her. Its easy to be a .08.
I don’t want to say ,well Shannon has never had a dui because I don’t know ,but I don’t think she has .If anyone knows for a fact one way or another please enlighten me.
Oh no! I hate to see anyone arrested for DUI. It’s so preventable and the outcomes are beyond tragic. I’m guessing no one was hurt so there’s that. Hopefully her children were with her ex or family. I wonder if Bravo will pause before picking her up this season, sounds like she could use some private healing away from cameras but… I suspect that’s not how Bravo suits think.
Knowing Bravo and their love for criminals and housewives who get arrested, they’ll be chomping at the bit to sign her up for next season.
She mentioned on IG two days ago that she was returning for S14. I updated the post.
I hope they brought Emily back too!
me too! I hate how mean people are to her. And I like Shane.
I like Shane too!
YAY! Come sit with me!
I hope they bring Emily back too!
OC is a long drive from West Hollywood. She was probably coming from the gay clubs where she was looking for her husband.
This is sad. I remember Brandi Glanville got a DUI when she was going through her divorce. Drinking is a nice bandage when you’re sad, but these people can afford to call for a sober ride home.
Shannon may drink, but she doesn’t have a mugshot, Gina. As my grandmother always said, “When you point a finger at someone…you have three pointing back at you.
I think Gina was (at least initially) trying to bond with Shannon over their shared places in the marriage cycle. I think that maybe if Shannon was a little less self absorbed she, Gina and Kelly could support the crap out of each other. Even fully divorced women forget how painful it is in the thick of it.
No, Shannon was trying to bond w Gina … everyone was trying to giver her advice but Gina didn’t want to hear it bc “her divorce wouldn’t be like that”. Gina attached Shannon at every turn on every episode.
Attacked ** give *** ugh sorry
” Shannon was trying to bond w Gina”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHA You can’t POSSIBLY believe that.
I thought the same thing, I stopped responding because maybe I had too much wine last season…
About divorce yes… i don’t blame Shannon for not wanting to get close to her in any other areas Gina is clearly a mess, she just comes off too strong for some people, that’s not Shannon’s fault.
wow
I would hope that if she was out at 4am, someone other than a babysitter was with her children.
No excuse for drinking and driving. I have no sympathy for her and she’s lucky she didn’t hurt herself or someone else.
I’m not into the new girls. I was hoping Gina and the Emily weren’t returning. I think they should bring back a few of the ladies from past seasons. Just my opinion.
@Laila: I was hoping that Gina and Emily were both a one and done too.
What a fool driving around drunk in the middle of the night .
It was 12:20 am according to People. All the outrage on this site. I’m sure none of you have ever made a mistake.
People talk to People about their errors. My source was the actual arrest record.
Me too!!
I hope she has the 10,000 that is going to cost her in Orange County.
4am?!?!? I was a party animal back in the day. Literally up until 8am. But these days? Midnight is way too late. WTH was she doing out until 4am?
Think she is hurting from he divorce more than she wants to let on but I cant be sympathetic for a DUI.
There have been videos of she and Kelly hanging
out and she seemed pretty wasted.
Hope if she needs help she gets it and hope the BRAVO cameras dont cause more damage to her and her kids.
Glad Emily will be back!
Somewhere Shannon is sipping coffee and mumbling at Gina saying “Own it!”
Gina will never be able to say the same insults to Shannon now. Its definatly gonna hurt her in child custody, and any meds for anxiety, depression can as well. Thats why I thought it was reckless to put that out about Shannon on the show. On the one hand if you allready have a diagnosis you could be hurt by not taking your meds. However, if you get prescribed meds for instability it can go against you, at that time. Ive never liked Gina much. I would never bond with her if spoken to like she did to Shannon. Gina is just a flying monkey for Tamra. She gives abuse by proxy and thats as low as you can get. I guess it makes good tv though. Emily was a bit of a flying monkey too, but I have a little more hope in her.
Anyone see her mugshot? I can’t find it.
I looked for it when writing the post. It appears that Orange County doesn’t make the mugshots public.
I do understand getting wasted but not really why people like her do not just get a taxi home and then back again to collect their car when sober… its not like she has money worries over a taxi ride?
