Gina Kirschenheiter is conserving her energy after filming ‘RHOC’ Season 19
On Tuesday, the Bravo star took to Instagram to offer fans a look at how she is coping with the aftermath of this season’s drama. She turned to actor Tom Hanks for help describing her current mindset.
Hanks recently narrated the nature documentary series The Americas, which aired Sunday nights on NBC earlier this year and is currently streaming on Peacock. Gina grabbed an audio clip from one of the episodes and shared it, along with a video of herself wrapped in a blanked and sitting on her couch.
“For two months, she’ll barely move – conserving all her energy,” Hanks intones as a wide-eyed Gina slowly blinks.
“Me after wrapping every season of RHOC,” she wrote on top of the Instagram reel. She also added the hashtags “recovery” and “regeneration” to the post.
Is Tamra Judge leaving ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’?
While Gina didn’t directly comment on what went down on the latest season of the show, other cast members have hinted at major drama. Last month, longtime Housewife Tamra Judge implied that she had exited the series after filming wrapped.
“It was a long run!” she wrote on her Instagram Story on March 9 (via Today). “When life gives you real problems, this reality sh*t doesn’t make sense. Peace out I’m out.”
In a March episode of her Two Ts In a Pod podcast, Tamra shared that she’d “hit a wall” and was “in full depressed mode” because of everything she was dealing with in her personal life, including her podcast co-host Teddi Mellencamp’s cancer battle.
Fellow OC Housewife Shannon Beador recently told E! News that she wasn’t sure if Tamra was leaving the series for good.
“I don’t really want to comment on Tamra’s future [on the show],” she said. “We’re at a place right now where we just exist. So, I don’t really know everything that’s going on with her. I wish well.”
RHOC Season 19 began filming earlier this year. A premiere date hasn’t been announced, but new episodes will likely begin airing sometime later in 2025. Past seasons of The Real Housewives of Orange County are streaming on Peacock.
