“A lot of the neighbors heard. They all called the police and then the cops came, they arrested him. It was scary. It was really scary," she explained. Gina then revealed that Matt apologized the next day and brought her flowers. “I do feel bad, because I feel like he cracks,” she said. “And I do feel that some of this is because of the show. He knew at this point that I had shared a lot of this on the show, and it’s not an excuse, but it’s really hard.”
