On The Real Housewives of Orange County, Gina Kirschenheiter is airing her grievances with Noella Bergener.
The fight between Noella and Heather Dubrow from the previous episode was picked up again in Wednesday's episode. Heather, 53, had earlier accused Noella, 36, of sending her a "pity invite" to the group's current Cabo vacation. Still, Heather chastised Noella for giving her 17-year-old daughter Max an explicit card game.
Heather got up to leave at one point because Noella wasn't paying attention to her. Heather accepted Noella's apology for her actions before leaving the group.
Noella then turned her attention to Gina, who had pleaded with Heather to allow Noella to accompany her on the trip. When Emily Simpson asked Noella if she had any "animosity" toward Gina, she replied, "100%."
"She's mad at me because I didn't tell her. Heather said that" Gina explained, to which Noella responded, "Because you knew for a week."
Gina was the next to walk away from the table after a spat with Noella. "This is something I can no longer do. I cared about you, Noella, but I can't anymore, "Gina expressed her thoughts. After Noella advised her to check on Gina, Emily, 46, followed her inside.
Gina broke down in tears while talking to Emily about the fight inside the vacation home. Gina expressed her dissatisfaction with Noella's constant attacks on others.
"We're not taking sides," she stated emphatically. "We're on everyone's side," says the narrator.
After the group returned to California during a lunch with Heather, Emily discussed her problems with Noella. Noella's behavior at the time, Emily said, "disappointed" her.
"What disturbed me the most was how she turned that situation between you and her into a story about how I betrayed her in some way," Gina explained. "People who question my integrity and character irritate me.... 'But, What have I done that has offered you any reason to believe I would turn on you?'"
"You can feel really bad for what someone is going through and still be protective of yourself [and] your family," Heather added.
Gina replied, "I haven't reached out to her." "I can't help someone who doesn't believe in me."
When Emily, Noella, and Shannon Beador met up for drinks later, Emily suggested Noella talk to Gina about it.
Noella told the group, "Once we have a conversation, it'll be over and done," adding that Gina "doesn't reply to phone calls" she had made.
As the group assembled for a game night at Emily's house, Gina confronted Noella. "I'm just being honest; you hurt my feelings," Gina stated in front of the other women.
Gina explained what "upset" her the most in a private conversation with the couple about their problems.
"What bothered me at the dinner last night [in Cabo] was the fact that you didn't trust me," Gina explained. "I had the impression you assumed I was doing something bad to you right away. [Heather] is allowed to express her dissatisfaction with the gift."
"I'm allowed to listen to it," Noella said, "and you guys don't have to apologize, apologize, apologize."
"I've got to pay attention to her," Noella continued. "To be my friend at that moment means letting me handle the conversation."
Gina was taken aback when Noella said she "felt a betrayal" from her. Gina advised her to "take a step back" so that they could "build a normal friendship."
Gina then confessed, "I don't know how to manage my friendship with Noella." "I'm not at ease in a friendship that I don't fully comprehend. Even if it's a private plane, I don't want to be on it."
