AceShowbiz - A recent Instagram mix-up involving "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Gina Kirschenheiter and her dad, Gene Archer, has gone viral for all the right reasons. Archer accidentally used Kirschenheiter's own Instagram account to leave a loving comment, leading fans to believe she was complimenting herself.
The confusion began under a photo of the "RHOC" cast shared by @BravoDailyDish, where Archer wrote, "Love My Gal Gina. Best Daughter, Best Mommy, Best Friend [love emojis]." Once posted, the comment appeared as if Kirschenheiter herself had written it, prompting accusations from fans of her using a "burner account" to self-compliment.
In response to the speculations, Kirschenheiter took to Instagram to clear the air, sharing the "real scoop" behind the comment in a heartfelt video over the weekend. "That was my dad commenting," she clarified, displaying @BravoDailyDish's post and the now-viral comment.
She explained, "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."
"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."
She then captioned the video with a loving message to her father, stating, "My dad forgot to switch back to his account before writing this. [love] I love you dad [love] @summa777 Take the day off trolls, it's Saturday."
The revelation resonated with many fans and even some of Kirschenheiter's fellow "RHOC" cast members. Jennifer Pedranti commented, "My dad would do the exact same thing for me!!! Precious," while former "RHOC" star Gretchen Rossi noted, "Ahh that's so sweet of him." Another user aptly summarized the sentiment by saying, "Omg you won the dad lottery. I love that."
Kirschenheiter's co-stars and fans alike have recognized the endearing paternal gesture, showing how Gene Archer's efforts to shield his daughter from online negativity have unwittingly warmed many hearts.
Kirschenheiter has been a part of "RHOC" since 2018, joining in Season 13. The show is currently airing its 18th season, which features a three-part reunion special. The love shown in these recent events underscores not just the bond between Kirschenheiter and her father, but also the affectionate community surrounding the "Real Housewives" series.
