RHONJ’s Teresa Giudice Slams Andy Cohen as ‘Despicable’ for Firing Daughter Gia Giudice From Next Gen NYC, Vows to Make Him Pay and Threatens His Job

The drama surrounding Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice is escalating once again, but this time, it’s not just about her — it’s about her daughter, Gia Giudice, and her abrupt firing from Next Gen NYC. In an explosive outburst, Teresa has publicly slammed Andy Cohen, calling him "despicable" for allegedly favoring select cast members and removing her daughter from the show, promising that she will make him "pay" for his actions. The tension between the mother and Bravo's powerful executive producer has fans wondering just how deep this feud runs — and whether it could shake up the future of Next Gen NYC.

The Firing and Teresa’s Response

Gia Giudice, who had been making waves as a key cast member of Next Gen NYC, was reportedly fired from the show, with many pointing fingers at Cohen for orchestrating the decision. According to sources close to the situation, Gia’s exit was due to her not being one of Cohen’s "chosen" favorites. This move was met with immediate backlash from Teresa, who didn’t hold back in expressing her outrage.

In a fiery Instagram post, Teresa wrote, “How could someone like Andy Cohen treat my daughter this way? It’s despicable. Gia was loyal and worked so hard for this, and for him to fire her over favoritism is just wrong. I will make him pay for this — mark my words.”

Teresa continued, doubling down on her claims of unfair treatment, accusing Cohen of manipulating casting decisions to favor certain cast members over others. Her words, which echoed frustration and hurt, painted a picture of a woman who has had enough of the power dynamics behind the Bravo scenes. “He thinks he can get away with this? No. I’m going to make sure he faces the consequences,” Teresa declared, making it clear that she wasn’t going to let this go.

Allegations of Favoritism

The crux of Teresa’s anger lies in her belief that Andy Cohen selectively chose cast members based on personal preferences and alliances rather than merit. In her post, she claimed that Next Gen NYC was meant to be a platform for a new generation of reality stars, but instead, it became a game of favoritism, with certain "legacy" members getting preferential treatment.

Sources say that Cohen, who has a long history of influence in the Real Housewives franchise, has always had a knack for orchestrating the cast dynamics. However, some fans have pointed out that Next Gen NYC was supposed to break away from these dynamics and introduce a new set of voices and personalities. “If Cohen can’t let go of his favorites, this show will never evolve,” one anonymous source stated.

Gia, on the other hand, has been very open about her desire to make a name for herself beyond her family’s reality TV legacy. Being removed from the show has only added fuel to the fire of her mother’s ongoing battle with Bravo and its producers.

Teresa’s Threat to Cohen’s Job

Not one to shy away from public battles, Teresa has gone even further, threatening to use her platform to get Andy Cohen fired. In an interview following her Instagram post, Teresa remarked, "If he thinks this is over, he’s wrong. I have the fans, I have the voice, and I will make sure that no one treats my daughter like this again. If Bravo doesn’t do something about this, I will make sure everyone knows what happened behind closed doors."

Her comments have sparked speculation that Teresa could leverage her immense following to influence Bravo's decisions. “Teresa is a force. She’s been through a lot with Bravo, and if anyone can make waves in the network, it’s her,” a Bravo insider said.

Whether Teresa’s threat is a step too far or a legitimate warning to the network remains to be seen, but what’s clear is that the tension between her and Andy Cohen is growing. The question remains: how will this public feud affect Next Gen NYC’s future and the future of the Real Housewives franchise as a whole?

The Fallout and What’s Next for Gia

While Teresa’s public outcry has certainly turned heads, the bigger question now is what this means for Gia’s career. Despite the firing, Gia has continued to keep a relatively low profile on social media, though her fans are rallying behind her more than ever. Many have expressed their support, calling out Bravo for what they see as a misstep in how Gia was treated.

As for Next Gen NYC, the show has yet to comment on the controversy, but insiders believe that this behind-the-scenes drama could end up making the show even more of a talking point among fans. Whether or not Gia will return to reality TV in the future remains unclear, but one thing is certain: her exit from Next Gen NYC has opened a new chapter in the Giudice family’s ongoing saga.

Conclusion

The feud between Teresa Giudice and Andy Cohen is far from over, and as more details continue to emerge, it’s clear that Next Gen NYC may not be the last place we see these family tensions unfold. Teresa’s vow to make Cohen "pay" for his actions is a bold move, but it also speaks to the larger issues of favoritism and unfair treatment that sometimes plague reality TV casting. For now, the spotlight is firmly on the Giudice family, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what the next chapter in this drama will hold.
