There’s no question that Gina Liano is the breakout star of Real Housewives Of Melbourne. The barrister-slash-outrageous human disco ball always comes prepared with a stinging put-down and a pair of earrings so enormous and sparkly that they might literally blind you. The show’s surreal and brilliant first season has just wrapped up, and ahead of the reunion special, part one of which airs tonight on Arena, Liano spoke some home truths to News.com.au. If you weren’t terrified of her already, you’ll definitely be trembling before her fairly soon.
What seems to have happened with the audience is they’ve seen that I’ve copped enough, and if anyone wants to give me any more, they’ve got no tolerance – they tell people to leave me alone.”
As for the reunion special itself, Liano huffed and said that it was just like the behaviour she “experienced” at Mission Beach. For the uninitiated, she’s referring to the luxury Queensland getaway where Jackie, Andrea and Lydia gossiped about her incessantly behind her back, leading to a knock-down, drag-out fight at dinner. Liano achieved a flawless victory in said skirmish by pulling out her makeup mirror and utterly ignoring the other Housewives as they screamed across the table at one-another.
