Gina Kirschenheiter defended herself after her dad complimented her from her own Instagram account.
“Real Housewives of Orange County” star Gina Kirschenheiter took to Instagram Saturday to defend herself after her dad, Gene Archer, accidentally complimented her from her own Instagram account.
Under a photo of the “RHOC” cast shared by @BravoDailyDish, Kirschenheiter’s dad wrote, “Love My Gal Gina. Best Daughter, Best Mommy, Best Friend .”
Because the comment was posted by Kirschenheiter’s username, many Bravo fans accused her of thinking she was logged into an alleged “burner account.”
“Love My Gal Gina. Best Daughter, Best Mommy, Best Friend ,” her dad — Gene Archer — wrote from Kirschenheiter’s account.
Fans said Kirschenheiter thought she was logged into her “burner account.”
She, however, shared the “real scoop” in a new video shared over the weekend.
In the clip, Kirschenheiter showed @BravoDailyDish’s post and the comment posted from her account, saying, “That was my dad commenting.”
“My dad logs into my account when I post, and he deletes mean comments on my post because he hates the thought of me having to come on social media and read hurtful things,” she explained.
Kirschenheiter, however, told her followers that her dad often logs into her account.
She said he goes into her account to “delete mean comments” people leave on her posts.
“And so, it makes him feel better to go on there and delete awful things that are written about his child. And I love my dad for this. But in reality, I don’t actually give a f–k what any of you people say, so… there you go. There’s the scoop.”
Kirschenheiter then captioned the video with the following: “My dad forgot to switch back to his account before writing this. I love you dad @summa777 Take the day off trolls, it’s Saturday. ”
Following the reveal, many fans — and a few of Kirschenheiter’s co-stars — reacted to the situation.
“He forgot to switch back to his account before writing that,” she further explained.
Kirschenheiter joined “RHOC” in 2018 for Season 13 of the series. It’s currently in its 18th season.
Kirschenheiter castmate Jennifer Pedranti wrote, “My dad would do the exact same thing for me!!! Precious ♥️,” while former “RHOC” star Gretchen Rossi said, “Ahh that’s so sweet of him.”
“Omg you won the dad lottery I love that,” another user wrote, while a fourth said, “What dear, dear father, you have God bless him . Explains a lot about why you’re such sweetheart.”
