The Real Housewives of Orange County’s landmark 20th season is currently airing on Bravo.

As is commonplace when a new season of the show starts airing, many of the stars are being interviewed by the press about a variety of topics related to the show and its stars. 

Recently, Gina Kirschenheiter, 42, sat down for some new interviews. 

In one with Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea, comments that former RHOC producer Patrick McDonald made about Gina’s co-star Shannon Beador, 62, came up.

Specifically, Patrick had claimed Shannon lost “her s*it,” and he stated that she was “yelling, screaming & cussing at the producers & crew” moments before filming.

He also alleged she was one of the “most miserable & narcissistic housewives across the entire brand.”

“You know what? It’s hard for me to say because I only know my relationships with the producers,” Gina said in response to Patrick’s comments. “I feel like if he’s referencing something, he’s referencing something from like a more private moment. I’ve not necessarily seen that.”

While she admitted she’s seen Shannon lose her cool, she insisted viewers have seen what led up to that on camera. 

“Now have I seen Shannon have a moment? Yeah,” she stated. “But … also, let’s look at what she’s gone through on this show. Do I justify it? Have I ever done it? No.”

“What they’ve showed, what you’ve seen, is what I’ve seen,” she added.

Gina also spoke to Us Weekly about another hot topic related to her: getting married to longtime beau Travis Mullen, 42.

She insisted that she is in favor of getting a prenup, even though that doesn’t mean they’ll be getting hitched anytime soon.

“I’m for it. I think everybody should do that. I think it’s smart,” Gina shared regarding a prenup. “I think it is just setting yourself up for financial success and I think it also eliminates a lot of the hard parts.”

“Should something happen ultimately, you know, that you don’t want to happen, should you get divorced, it takes a lot of the messiness out of it,” she added. 

The RHOC star went on to note that, in her opinion, if you love someone “you should” get a prenup, claiming it’s “not just about if you get divorced, right? It’s just, like, good financial planning.”

“Also, you don’t know what’s going to happen in life in general. God forbid something happens to myself or Travis. I want to know what that looks like too,” she added. “And so I really think that everybody should sit down and do, like, financial family planning. It’s just smart.”

As for when they will finally get married, Gina said she’s “not rushing it.”

“I really just have no plans to plan for really, like, the unforeseeable future,” she explained. “I want to do what I’m doing right now, which is taking care of my kids and building my business, and that’s what I’m focused on.”

New episodes of RHOC air Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
