Gia Giudice has been publicly criticizing the former Real Housewives of New York star, and the feud has gotten out of hand. Bethenny Frankel has been known to share her opinions, and Gia isn’t a fan. But B is spouting some hard truths the RHONJ daughter can’t ignore. Instead, Gia is going for some low blows when in reality, she should just be moving on from the petty altercation. 

Why Gia Giudice and Bethenny Frankel are locked in a feud

The negativity started back on March 30 when Gia decided to address Teresa and Luis Ruelas’ money issues. While on her podcast, Casual Chaos, the RHONJ star noted that she wasn’t worried about her mom. She shared, “Let’s start from the beginning. My mom has been the sole provider for my sisters and I since the minute my father left for prison,” Gia continued. “The second my mom got home from jail, she has been working her ass off to make sure that my sisters and I live a stable life and that my family is financially stable. My mom has everything under control, and there’s nothing to worry about.”

In the last few months, Tre and Luis have been hit with another tax lien for $3 million. After the announcement, Bethenny took to her social media to comment. She said, “I can not believe that Teresa is in another marriage with financial, legal issues. I’ll have to pull when I tweeted ‘If Teresa Giudice does not sign a prenup I will jump through my phone.’” B then added, “You’re watching the movie and you’re like ‘No! Do not open that closet!’ I feel terrible, but like fool me once, you’re a fool. Fool me twice, I’m a fool. Love is blind, [and] all these things, but oh my God.”

Gia Giudice is accusing Bethenny Frankel of gaslighting

Sometimes I feel that Gia is too big for her britches, as she has an air about her. Much like her mother, she rarely believes she is in the wrong and has no problem going after people. After Bethenny’s first set of comments, Gia clapped back, to which Bethenny had another reply. Bethenny noted, “She just doesn’t know. And hopefully she’ll realize when she one day gets married, if that’s something she wants, that it’s about being financially literate.” 

Gia wasn’t happy with the statement, replying “Bethany Frankel, thank you so much for your sweet video. You are a mother with a daughter. I bet you wouldn’t like [it] if somebody was saying this about you. I hope that $1,000 TikTok paycheck was really worth it. And thanks. But we’re doing perfectly fine over here.” Gia then spoke with People, telling the outlet, “She was honestly trying to gaslight me. I didn’t say half of the things that she made in her statement. I was never recommending financial advice or anything along those lines.”

Gia Giudice should be focused on her new show Next Gen NYC

Gia should be focusing on her new Bravo series, Next Gen NYC. Even though she admitted she isn’t a fan of living in the public eye, that is exactly what is funding her current lifestyle. She has agreed to star with some other Bravo kids as cameras follow them around the Big Apple. Viewers are already skeptical about whether the series will work or not. The cast, which also consists of Brooks Marks and Ariana Biermann, is not exactly easy to relate to. The influencers live a life that most do not, with doors already being pulled open for them thanks to the familiar connections. If Gia’s current drama is the type of scenes fans have to look forward to, it might give them pause when it comes to tuning in.   

Bethenny Frankel acts like she has no clue who Gia Giudice is

Perhaps the pettiest part of the fight was when Bethenny admitted she had no idea who Gia was. In her social media video, Bethenny noted, “I don’t know the difference between those girls. I’ve liked different posts of theirs, but I don’t know who’s who.” The shade was actually pretty funny since most fans know that would have bothered Gia to the core. If I had to take a side, it would be Bethenny’s in this argument. I don’t think she was being malicious. She was just commenting on a bit of news that every Bravo fan has had an opinion on: Teresa is bad at picking men.  

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
