The drama between the Giudice family took another explosive turn when Gia Giudice, daughter of Teresa Giudice, threw major shade at her Aunt Melissa Gorga on Watch What Happens Live. The 22-year-old reality star appeared on the popular late-night show, where Andy Cohen put her on the spot by asking her to rank the “iconic Housewives.” To everyone’s surprise, Gia placed her Aunt Melissa dead last, calling her “basic and irrelevant.”
The bold move sent shockwaves through the Real Housewives of New Jersey fandom, reigniting the longstanding tension between Teresa and Melissa. For years, viewers have witnessed the family feud unfold on screen, with both Teresa and Melissa throwing jabs at one another on numerous occasions. However, Gia’s latest comments have escalated the rivalry to a whole new level, especially since she is so closely aligned with her mother, Teresa.
Social media was quick to react. Some fans were on Gia’s side, applauding her for speaking her truth and not shying away from her opinions. They praised her for calling out Melissa, who has often been the target of Teresa's verbal attacks over the years. “Gia is just telling it like it is! Melissa’s been coasting off her ‘Housewife’ title for years,” one fan tweeted.
However, not everyone was in Gia’s corner. Many viewers criticized her for mimicking her mother’s fiery attitude and considered her remarks a low blow. Some even called Gia a “chaotic clone of her mom, Teresa,” suggesting that she was getting caught up in the drama rather than staying out of it. “Gia should be careful, she’s only making things worse for herself,” one social media user warned.
As the tension reached a boiling point, Andy Cohen found himself drawn into the drama. Fans quickly pointed fingers at him for asking what some are calling a “trap question,” one that was clearly designed to stir the pot. Many believe Andy’s question was a calculated move to spark a fresh round of conflict within the Giudice family, knowing full well how much animosity already exists between Teresa and Melissa.
This latest episode only further proves that the Giudice family is not done making headlines. With Gia now throwing shade at Melissa, it’s safe to say the Real Housewives of New Jersey has plenty more drama in store for fans. Will the family ever make amends, or is this feud going to spiral even further? Only time will tell. For now, fans can’t stop talking about Gia’s fiery comments and the latest chapter in this never-ending family drama.
