"Am I the only one who thinks Gina didn’t do anything in this Katie Heather beef?" another fan commented.

"Katie lies to the police and she’s lying about Gina telling her she’s using Heather. The b*tch is full of sh*t. This whole paparazzi storyline isn’t going how she wanted to so now it’s time to throw Gina under the bus," one user wrote.

"Sorry, I’m not buying that Gina was coming for Heather. I think Katie f**ked up and is trying to blame Gina," a fan reacted.
