What in the world is going on over at Reasonably Shady headquarters? First, Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon’s podcast broke the internet by undermining the authenticity of the Real Housewives of Potomac. Then, Gizelle came under fire for using a homophobic slur during a recent episode. Now, according to Page Six, Gizelle has crossed another line. She made an anti-Semitic remark during a recent podcast episode, and RHOP fans are outraged.
Gizelle made the distasteful comment when she and Robyn discussed the expensive price of Drake tickets. They asked, “Who’s paying” for those tickets? Then, Gizelle remarked, “The Rubinsteins. They are paying for their little child and their friends to go.”
Why is Gizelle like this? We expect a little nonsense from her and Robyn. The podcast is called Reasonably Shady, after all. But this comment wasn’t reasonable, nor was it shady. It was stupid. And fans are begging them to “do better.”
Immediately after the episode dropped, social media lit up with criticism of Gizelle’s bad joke. RHOP fans were shocked to hear her make such a flippant comment, especially after she dropped a homophobic slur on a previous episode. One person laid it out via Instagram and wrote, “Um, wow. Repeating tropes like this is the most insidious way of spreading antisemitism. Bye, girls.”
Gizelle has been on RHOP since the show began in 2016. She and Robyn launched their podcast in 2021. On both platforms, they’ve tackled difficult conversations about race and colorism. So, at this point in her career as a public figure, Gizelle should know better than to make such a problematic joke.
Despite the backlash, the Green-eyed Bandits haven’t responded to any of the criticism. Knowing how Gizelle and Robyn roll, they’ll probably wait until the next episode of their podcast to address it. In the meantime, tons of fans are pointing their finger at Gizelle and calling her a “Karen.” From her “no Spanish” rule on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip to her reckless language on the podcast, she isn’t making any new fans. She brings the drama to RHOP, but at this rate, she’s on a path to being the next canceled Bravolebrity.
