A New Storm Hits the Giudice Family Just as the Drama Starts to Settle!
Just as the dust was beginning to settle, a fresh wave of controversy has hit the Giudice household! Gia Giudice, the eldest daughter of Real Housewives of New Jersey icon Teresa Giudice, has reportedly been quietly removed from the main cast of Bravo’s upcoming spinoff RHONJ: Next Gen, set in New York City.
Once hailed as the “next generation” of the franchise, Gia was widely seen as a rising star — ready to inherit her mother’s reality TV throne. However, according to a close insider at Bravo, the decision to remove Gia came after her college essay plagiarism scandal continued to spark backlash and debate across social media.
“Andy Cohen didn’t make the call directly, but he did suggest that Gia take a step back — temporarily — to avoid the show being overshadowed by unnecessary controversy,” the insider revealed.
Gia has yet to issue any public statement, but eagle-eyed fans noticed that she recently deleted several social media posts hinting at filming in New York. Meanwhile, names like Antonia Gorga (Melissa’s daughter) and Milania Giudice (Gia’s younger sister) are reportedly still involved in the project.
Mixed Reactions from Fans
The move has sparked immediate debate online. Some fans expressed disappointment, arguing that Gia is an essential part of the “Giudice legacy” and deserves a fair chance to prove herself. Others, however, supported Bravo’s decision, applauding the network for prioritizing the integrity of the show.
“You can’t build a new show around someone dealing with an ethical scandal,” one Reddit user commented.
A Pause… But Far From Over?
Although Gia is out of Next Gen for now, sources insist this isn’t the end of her reality TV journey. Rumors suggest she could still appear on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Next Gen, or even return to RHONJ once the controversy cools down.
“Gia has star power. Bravo knows that. They’re just waiting for the right time,” a producer shared.
While she may be stepping away from the spotlight for now, Gia Giudice remains a name the media can’t stop watching. And with a family that thrives in the eye of the storm, this may just be another chapter in the never-ending Giudice saga.
