“Gina and Tamra have been friends for a very long time and Tamra recruited her on the show,” a source told Radar Online.

The outlet also noted that Gina’s best friend, Tatiana Beebe, had been added to the season 13 cast as the final housewife. As fans will recall, Bravo was left with three empty spots at the end of season 12 after Meghan King Edmonds, Peggy Sulahian, and Lydia McLaughlin all quit the show.
