Gia Giudice addressed her current relationship with Joe and Melissa Gorga on a recent episode of her podcast.
Following the meeting between the Gorgas and her mom, Teresa Giudice, 53, and her stepfather, Luis Ruelas, 50, and after re-following Joe, 51, on Instagram, the 24-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star spoke of her and her family’s relationships with the Gorgas. She also addressed her potential reconciliation with her cousins.
“There’s nothing right now [between us and the Gorgas], but hopefully we can come to a peaceful place soon,” Gia explained to a fan on Casual Chaos, via a clip shared by Virtual Reali-Tea on Instagram.
Another fan wanted to know if Gia and her sisters were able to talk to or see their Gorga cousins at all.
“Not really,” she replied. “Unfortunately, with the show, it became very toxic, so it just got a little difficult for the kids to maintain a relationship, which is very unfortunate. But if we do come to a place of peace, there’s definitely room to grow and maybe build the relationships again.”
At another moment of the podcast, Gia explained why she turned down a role on Love Island USA on multiple occasions.
“I got asked to go on Love Island like, year after year, and I turned that down, obviously, because I’m dating my boyfriend, [Christian Carmichael]. But, yeah. I’ve got asked to go on Love Island USA. It was a lot during when I was in college, but it was pretty consecutive when I was in college,” she shared, also via Virtual Reali-Tea on Instagram.
Then, she explained how Christian felt about filming Next Gen NYC.
“He actually liked being on Next Gen NYC. I mean, he didn’t mind it, but also, like, this is not his world,” she stated. “This is not something that he’s used to, and it was definitely a little bit of an adjustment.”
Next Gen NYC season two is currently in production and expected to begin airing on Bravo sometime next year.
Tamra Judge called out Gretchen Rossi during a series of appearances at BravoCon this past weekend.
In addition to accusing her Real Housewives of Orange County castmate of “lying,” “making up rumors,” and having a hatred toward the community, Tamra, 58, said that Gretchen, 47, was trying to play nice to “save her job,” reacted to
During an interview with Chanel Ayan, 47, for Bravo, Tamra reacted to Gretchen and
“I can do that, but I don’t know that Gretchen can do that. I think Jen has it in her, but I don’t think — well, Gretchen’s still fighting about things from 15 years ago that I have no interest in. And when you’re lying and making up rumors and having this hatred toward the community, I can’t stand for it,” Tamra replied.
Then, when she was asked about Gretchen saying they’d be okay, Tamra said they “will not.”
“She wants to save her job,” she explained. “There’s no room in my life for her — not for somebody with her beliefs.”
During an interview with Access Hollywood’s Housewives Nightcap, Tamra had stern words for Jennifer.
“You’re f*cking toxic,” she stated. “I’m actually one of the most successful housewives on my cast, so I’m doing something right, Jennifer Lawrence.”
“It was unfortunate that she said that,” Tamra continued. “I feel like those are really strong words coming from … I always looked up to her. And I just think, like, you don’t know me. I’m on a reality show, and there’s a lot that you don’t know. And I’m sorry you feel that way.”
Tamra also spoke to Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea about Gretchen, saying they were “two people that cannot be in the same room.”
“I tried to move on with her. The whole half of the season, I tried to move on, and it was one story and lie about me after another, and I just don’t feel like there’s any room on the show for somebody like that. I think that you have to be open and honest and not blame other things on other people or create lies. And I just, it’s not for me,” she explained.
Also at BravoCon, Tamra admitted there were so “many misconceptions” about her.
“I think people think that I’m just this big villain that doesn’t have a heart, and I do. I promise you. There’s stories out there that my children don’t speak to me. No, they do. We’re all good. And I think that’s really hard, especially when the kids are brought into things. Like, don’t f*cking talk about my kids. Okay? Don’t do that,” she declared.
“And just the whole, ‘She’s the villain. Stir the pot.’ Yes, on the show, I abso-f*cking-lutely am. And I do my job and I take it very serious,” she added. “[And] I don’t make up stories. I don’t lie.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 reunion concludes on Thursday, November 20, at 8/7c on Bravo.
