Gina Kirschenheiter

Viewers of The Real Housewives of Orange County have already seen Gina Kirschenheiter break down over her ex's abuse.

Now, she's facing off with Matt in court. He's demanding that the judge lower his child support payments and to let him question Gina about his own arrest.

In one sense, Thursday night's Real Housewives of Orange County reunion was humorous, as Vicki Gunvalson went off on a co-star's penchant for nudity and same-sex kissing.

In another sense, however, this special was troubling and traumatic.

Earlier this fall, Gina Kirschenheiter unveiled her new boyfriend, a major hottie named Travis Mullen.

Things have been bad between Gina and her ex, Matt, but she reveals that she actually let him and Travis meet.

The Real Housewives of Orange County star Gina Kirschenheiter's last relationship ended with a scary confrontation and her ex-husband's arrest.

But now, a year and a half after she first separated from Matt, Gina is finally prepared to move on.

Back in June, Gina Kirschenheiter frantically called the police to report that her ex-husband Matt assaulted her and threatened her life.

He even lost his job over the domestic violence incident, and now claims that he can't even pay the court-ordered child support.

About a week ago, Matt and Gina Kirschenheiter reached a divorce agreement in court, having only a few property divisions to work out.

At least, that's what the world -- and the court -- thought.

After a lot of stress and even a restraining order, Gina Kirschenheiter has been granted a divorce from Matt.

Now, court records from the judge's ruling are shedding light on the results of the divorce.

Earlier this summer, a deeply disturbing report came out about Gina Kirschenheiter's husband allegedly attacking her and threatening her life.

Since then, they have been to court.

Earlier this summer, we reported on a truly nightmarish ordeal.

Gina Kirschenheiter's ex allegedly threatened to murder her after attacking her in her home.

WARNING:

What you are about to read is very disturbing.

Oops!

Her major bad, folks.

After the way that Tamra Judge betrayed Shannon Beador, it looks like Shannon isn't speaking to Tamra.
