As The Real Housewives of Orange County gears up for its much-anticipated Season 19 return, Gina Kirschenheiter is already reaching out to fans with a candid message. Before the cameras start rolling, Gina wanted to prepare viewers for some moments that might catch them off guard.
“I know that you guys are not going to be happy about some things…I feel like I should take the opportunity to clear it out now, so that you all understand what’s going on there.”
One of the first things Gina addressed on her Instagram page was her ever-present accessory: her Herschel backpack. “This backpack is my whole life,” she revealed. She warned fans that they’ll be seeing it “ad nauseum” throughout the season. When asked why she sticks with the same bag, Gina was refreshingly honest: she simply “doesn’t have time” to switch it up, and honestly, she “doesn’t care.” In fact, she called the backpack “the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
Gina also gave a heads-up about her style in the show’s confessionals. She admitted to a bit of a “lack of effort there,” though she tried to put a positive spin on it. “It’s a very pretty dress, my jewelry is beautiful,” she noted. “I did my own hair and makeup … I’m doing the best I can, guys.”
Gina also touched on weight, “Because I’ve also been happy and work-focused, I have gained weight,” she shared candidly. Fans might recognize this as the return of the so-called “Love Chub,” perhaps signaling progress in her relationship with boyfriend Travis Mullen. Gina also joked about her recent struggles: “being able to fit in my own pants.”
Gina wanted to get ahead of things before fans did.
