After her explosive meltdown at Shannon's housewarming party, Braunwyn finds herself trying to make amends and move forward. Braunwyn opens up to Gina about her life-long struggle with ...
- Previously on "The Real
Housewives of Orange County."
- Gosh, I was in a lot of pain.
Like, I couldn't even like,
bend over
and put my underwear on.
- Is that why you
didn't wear underwear?
- Yeah!
- My psychic, he said
I was gonna meet a guy
that he was gonna give me
a ten-karat diamond ring.
- Well, that's like
anyone in Newport.
- No sh...
- [laughs]
That's literally
not even psychic.
- We're not going forward
with the deposition.
He won't have
an attorney anymore.
He'll be self-represented.
- I'm really happy
'cause I feel like this is
in the best interest
of our kids.
- I would never ever call
anyone's home sad.
Ever.
- Either you're lying to me
or you don't remember... - No.
- Because you said it.
- I think I have to call Shannon
about the vow renewal. - Okay.
- And, you know, Shannon's
supposed to be there with John
and all six of their kids.
I want that.
- I don't move on from people
saying I'm a liar.
I'm 30 days sober today, bitch.
- Good-bye!
Are you? You're acting like it.
- Stop. Stop!
- Okay. And there you go.

In fact,
just don't judge me at all.

- That's why I go to Costco.
- So what's up?
- I went over to Kelly's house
last night.
Braunwyn came over.
For the first time,
I actually felt compassion
for her.
- Yes.
- She admitted...
she was taking things
out on you personally.
And she had no reason
to do that.
- I was judging and mingling
and cruel.
- You were, yeah.
- I was,
and I have to apologize
to her for that.
Both: Yeah. - So I texted her.
And I asked her to...
[clears throat]
Go to a meeting with me.
- Yeah.
- That was rude
and inappropriate.
- Sean, wow.
- Thank you.
You wife has been attacking me
for weeks.
- No, it wasn't. I was...
She was not.
- Issue is gonna be harder
to deal with
if he's always there kind
of cleaning up her messes.
- You should say
all those things to her.
I think Sean's a great guy,
and I think he's a good dad,
but why isn't Sean having
some kind of intervention
with his wife?
- I got my own stuff
still going on.
I don't need any of that.
I have a meeting with Mike Fell
about what happened
to me last year.
Like, I'm still having
emotional responses
from like, a lot of things
that I went through, too.
- Right.
- And now having somebody,
like, picking on me
and coming at me
is, like, not okay.
- I don't think
it's anything personal.
I don't think it has
anything to do with you.
- Yeah.
- You know what I mean?
- And I've said
a couple things to her
that exposed truths
that she doesn't wanna have
to hear or deal with.
- Well, she doesn't,
and she told me that,
because she said that
she didn't like me last year
because I was the only one
that kept calling her out
on the drinking.
- Calling her out.
- I really pushed you away.
Instead of hearing
what you were saying,
I kind of attacked you
because it was easier.
It was easier for me.
- So she obviously
has a hard time
having relationships with people
who aren't just gonna be like,
"Oh, you're so fun and funny."
- I just don't like
inauthentic people.
- Right.
I just think when you see her
on Saturday,
she's really gonna apologize,
and from what I felt,
it felt really heartfelt
and sincere.
- I was nervous about Saturday
because I'm like,
what's the point?
- Well, I mean,
you would crush her.
That's not even, like,
a fair fight.

- Hey.
- Hey!
- Oh, my God. Thank you so much.
Thank you for coming down
from LA.
I tried to find, like, anything
for Jacob online.
- Yeah.
- And you can't.
You can't find stuff.
- Oh, my gosh, yeah.
- And it's not like
Orange County has drag outfits.
- Yeah.
- Are you excited?
- Yeah!
- You're not nervous
about doing this at all?
- No. I'm excited.
- [laughing]
- I'm not nervous at all.
- Haven't you heard him?
He's been waiting
to do this for a while.
- This Christmas, Jacob asked me
for a pair of heels.
- I can walk in heels very good
since I naturally walk
on my toes.
- He had never expressed
any desire
to get into the world of drag.
But ever since Jacob was a baby,
he has loved fashion.
When we were in Miami,
Rowan and Scarlett would do
his hair, his makeup,
his clothes.
He put on heels and a hat,
and he would go, like,
stroll around Target.
- Oh, yes.
I'm changing into these two.
- Do you need help?
- Nope.
Both: Nope?
- I asked Jacob,
"What does this mean to you?
"Is it pageantry?
Is it identity?
Is it your, you know, gender?"
And his answer was,
"I don't know."
- Rowan, you gotta
see these things.
- Oh, my God.
- Right?
- It's like I'm in a fairy tale.
- But what he does know
is that he has family
that love him any way he is.
Let us know when you're coming
out, 'cause I wanna video it.
- I'm coming out right now.
- Okay.
- Ahh!
- Oh, my God!
- Whoa!
- Oh, my God! It's amazing.
- I pulled my hair back
so I can see.
- Oh, my God!
I have never seen you this hot.
- Right?
[laughter]
- I'm serious.
This is the hottest
you've ever been.
- Careful with your heels.

- Okay.
- Oh, my God. This is amazing.
Oh, ah! - Whoa!
[laughing]
- Ooh.
- Oh, my God!
You look amazing.
- This is my favorite.
- Yeah.
- All right.
Do, like, your sexy poses.
- I wanna do drag
'cause it's kind
of like a therapy.
- So that's not sexy, honey.
- All right.
- Do the first one.
Do the first one.
Ooh, yeah. That's good.
- It unlocks another part
of yourself,
and makes you stronger
and more aware of who you are.
- Dude, you are
going to kill it.
- Hottie! [laughter]
- I had
incredibly bad depression
for about a year,
and drag helped me
get out of that.
I have a lot of people
that are very understanding,
and I think that's
the most important thing.
You always need people
who honestly do love you.
- I like how he puts
his normal clothes back on.
- Now he's in...
Now he's all
to his normal shaggy self.
- Jacob's journey right now
inspires me at this time
in my life
because I'm coming into my own.
He could've taken
the easy route,
but he didn't.
He took the honest
and true route,
and I wanna follow
in his footsteps.
My son is a role model to me.
Next up, hair, makeup.
And you are gonna be the
prettiest princess at the ball.
- No!
He's gonna be the baddest queen.
- Baddest queen.

- Sorry.

This may be something
that helps him
in the long run...

for all parties involved.

What happened that night...
I struggle with it to this day.
I still wake up
in the middle of the night.
I have bad dreams.
That's hard. - Yeah.
It's gonna be... it is.
It's very hard.

Sienna's birthday,

You know, Sophie is...
My oldest is 18,
and she's going
to Baylor next year,
and she's writing a book
on her experience
in going through divorce,
and I did things
that my parents did
that have affected me today,
and now I know
I passed that on to my kids.
And it was really hard to...
I have to put this on just
because of the sun.
- Yeah.
- It's right on me.
- Do you think that
with her writing this book
and her really getting involved
with her feelings...
I think she wants
to stop the pattern.
Like what you said.
- Yeah, that's what I said.
Yeah.
"You could break the cycle."
- You can break the cycle,
and that's so powerful.
- Yeah, and she's a great girl.
But she said to me, like,
"Mom, it's not a bad thing
"that all this happened
because I'm a stronger person
now because of it."
- When I think about Sienna,
I just hope my daughter
is strong.
I really do.
And I hope that she looks
at this and...
And thinks that her mother
is strong.
- When it's all said and done,
Gina, you are gonna look back
and go,
"Thank God it all happened,
because this is where I am,
and this is what got me here."
Coming up...

a couple things to her
that exposed truths
that she doesn't wanna have

- Well, she doesn't,
and she told me that,
because she said that
she didn't like me last year
because I was the only one

on the drinking.
- Calling her out.
- I really pushed you away.
Instead of hearing

It was easier for me.

has a hard time
having relationships with people
