The feng shui-enthusiast claims the “stress caused me to eat more, caused me to drink more” and that she is “embarrassed” about her body.

On Friday, the OG from the OC spoke to ET Online where she apologizes for causing “any stress” to her costar.

“I’m sorry. You know, I’m sorry that you feel that way and I don’t want to cause her any stress … If I’m responsible for it, I’m really, really sorry. I don’t want anything bad for Shannon and David. I actually want them to have a happy, healthy marriage. I told her that from the very beginning when she confided in me on their situation. I said, ‘Make your marriage work.’ So I’m sorry. If I’m to blame for it, I’m sorry.”‘

In 2015, it was revealed that David cheated on his wife, a traumatic event that was heavily documented on the hit Bravo show.

RHOC airs Mondays at 9 P.M. ET.
