The Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC) season 16 held its first reunion on Wednesday. The feud between Gina Kirschenheiter and Shannon Beador continued during the reunion as well.
Host Andy Cohen played a few clips from the season that involved Kirschenheiter and Beador. Their spat began from the first episode when Beador shared a secret with Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson about Heather Dubrow regarding Nicole James.
Beador asked the latter two not to say anything to anyone, but Kirschenheiter snitched. Throughout the season, Kirschenheiter was seen creating drama regarding her friendship with Beador. When the latter confronted her in the RHOC reunion, Kirschenheiter said she was not 'gunning' for Beador.
Viewers had various reactions about the incident, with one saying:

In the reunion, Andy Cohen addressed a segment at Kirschenheiter’s business launch party where her parents spoke to Beador. Kirschenheiter’s parents thanked the latter for helping their daughter during her DUI case in the past.

“Gunning for you! I don’t 'gun' for anybody Shannon!”

The first part of the reunion of RHOC season 16 dealt with the drama that took place throughout the entire season. It also showed Heather Dubrow’s journey before she left the Bravo show in season 11. The latest season marked her return to the series again.
When Cohen asked what it was like to be back on the reunion couch, Dubrow replied:
"A little surreal. But I have to say, I always have liked the reunion. This is my first time sitting next to you [at] my sixth reunion. I enjoy the reunion. I feel like it's a really good time to air things out.”
Further, the reunion episode addressed those season's multiple segments, including Dubrow threatening Beador, Nicole James' drama, Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson and Beador feud, Dr. Jennifer Armstrong’s marriage, and Noella Bergener’s divorce and tiff with Dubrow.
