The horrific smash-up came just days after Real Housewives fans saw Gina Kirschenheiter explode at Shannon for continuing to bring up her four-year-old drunk driving arrest on Wednesday’s episode.
During the Season 17 episode titled Pumpkins & Paparazzi, Gina, 37, was outraged that Shannon kept saying she had been close to having her children taken away by Child Protective Services. (CPS) on the day of his arrest for drunk driving.
Shannon furiously denied saying CPS was going to take away her co-stars’ kids, but a video proved otherwise.
“Shannon says stupid things and then she wants to act like she didn’t do it,” Gina said in a confessional.
“And if you can say things that are so hurtful without even remembering that you said it, you need to go get treatment to rehab. And then when you do and you get to the fucking “I’m sorry” stage, I’ll wait for that apology.
Kelly’s comments come after Tamra Judge said she was left shaken by Shannon’s accident.
“I feel like I’m going to throw up,” she said while appearing on the Two Ts in a Pod podcast with Teddi Mellencamp and Cynthia Bailey.
“At first I didn’t think it was true,” she continued. “I spoke to Shannon yesterday, she didn’t say a word to me, nothing.”
Tamra added: “All I see is what’s in the press. I’m shaken.
