Gina Kirschenheiter’s Restraining Order Against Ex-Husband Matt Kirschenheiter Remains In Effect!

Gina Kirschenheiter’s restraining order against her ex-husband Matt Kirschenheiter remains in effect more than a year after the Real Housewives of Orange County star filed for it.

Changes have been made to the protective order. According to court records obtained by Us Weekly, Matt is no longer required to undergo alcohol and drug testing or monitoring of any kind as of April. 

The restraining order was “amended by stipulation of the parents,” marking the fifth time it has been altered.

The former couple still must use the website TalkingParents to discuss their children: Nicholas (8), Sienna (6), and Luca (5). The platform allows parents to communicate through a third party that keeps track of their conversations.

The next hearing for the domestic violence case is scheduled for January 2021, according to Us Weekly.

As previously reported, Gina filed a restraining order against Matt on Monday, June 24, 2019. Two days earlier, the businessman was arrested in the O.C., according to jail records obtained by Us Weekly.

The former couple, who got married in 2018, announced their split in July 2018. They finalized their divorce in December 2019.

Gina detailed Matt’s alleged abuse during the season 14 reunion of RHOC, which aired in December 2019. She claimed that he attacked her in June of that year after they agreed to reconcile.

“He was just like a different person,” she said. “I was really scared. I ran out of the house, and I rang my neighbor’s doorbell, and I was banging on the door. And he dragged me back in the house.”

Gina alleged that her neighbors then intervened. “A lot of the neighbors heard. They all called the police and then the cops came, they arrested him,” she recalled. “It was scary. It was really scary.”

Matt was charged with two felony counts of domestic violence in September 2019. He pleaded not guilty at the time. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for November.
