She left a tropical getaway because the other women 'ganged up' on her, but Real Housewives Of Melbourne's Gina Liano has found an unlikely source of support in a fellow reality TV star.

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Lisa Vanderpump has reached out to the 47-year-old barrister on Twitter after Sunday night's episode and offered words of support.

'Ugh all ganging up against one? Poor thing... I hear you,' she tweeted to the Australian star on Monday.

Gina was quick to reply: 'Ganging up has been the whole journey. Though this would be fun. Love to you. Stay beautiful x.'

'Try, as hard as it is, to remember.. it says more about them than it does you,' added Lisa, 53.

It's the first sign from Gina that the group attack on her over dinner at the Mission Beach resort has had a damaging effect, with the housewife previously putting on a brave face on the show.

'Andrea's behaviour was so hideous and appalling,' she said in the episode, shortly before leaving the resort the morning after and flying back to Melbourne.

Will she return?: Gina's lack of fun on the show may hint that she won't return for a second season on the Foxtel Arena series

Role call: The Real Housewives Of Melbourne (L-R) Jackie Gillies, Janet Roach, Andrea Moss, Lydia Schiavello, Gina Liano and Chyka Keebaugh

'Schoolyard mentality': The 47-year-old was not impressed by the dinner conversation that singled her out

'Schoolyard mentality. It was pretty hideous, worse than eating cat food honestly.'

Issues between Gina and the housewives Andrea Moss, 45, Lydia Schiavello, 45, and Janet Roach, 55, had built up over the past seven episodes and came to head when they launched a joint conversation with her over dinner.

'Can I give you some advice?' started Andrea as she pointed at Gina across the table.

'You behind the scenes hang into people. You called me a c***.'

'No I did not!' protested Gina.

'You are vulgar': Andrea Moss led the discussion against Gina at the Mission Beach resort

Best defence: The barrister stuck up for herself against the other housewives

Stylish surrender: The Melbourne local said she felt like she was being 'ganged up' on during the meal

'Janet told me that,' retorted Andrea, before the eldest housewife added 'It's true'.

'You are crude, you are vulgar, you are confrontational and aggressive,' pressed Andrea.

'I don't particularly want to talk to you. I actually even get offended just looking at you now.'

Gina: 'Well, don't look darling.'

While Jackie Gilles, 33, and Chyka Keebaugh, 44, stayed out of the fight and sat firmly on the fence, but it hasn't been enough to shake Gina's sense of being bullied.

Gina's the most interesting, intelligent woman on that show - I'm only surprised she agreed to do it in the first instance, she is actually above all the other women with the exception of Chyka. Andrea and Lydia are a couple of nasty school girls.

Oh please Lisa, you've played the victim long enough. You don't even know this woman. Women taking to other women is not an attack. I've never seen this show and don't know anything about this scary looking Gina, but she needs to look up the definition of the word "bully". I'm so tired of this word being thrown around when it doesn't apply! Insulting or criticizing does not equate to bullying! That goes to you to Lisa.
