‘Sorry to break your hearts’ – Andy Cohen shuts down rumor he fired Gia Giudice from Next Gen NYC over cast drama as she blasts viral college cheating scandal and claims she’s still very much on Bravo - suong

Andy Cohen reacted to rumors that he fired Gia Giudice from Next Gen NYC over inappropriate behavior with co-stars. Meanwhile, Gia herself addressed the firing claim, and she also addressed a rumor that she used an underground ghostwriting business at college.

According to a June 1 report from an RHONJ Facebook account, Gia allegedly used a ghostwriting service through which peers could hire others to write their essays or projects. Allegedly, the school launched an internal investigation after an anonymous tip.

“I am not an executive producer of Next Gen NYC,” said Andy on his SiriusXM show, Andy Cohen Live. “This is the first I am hearing of any discord surrounding Gia. And I certainly only have positive feelings for Gia and her mom, Teresa Giudice, the OG of NJ.”

A co-host then asked, “So there has not been any, quote, inappropriate behavior with co-stars from Gia?”

“Nothing that I’ve ever heard of, no,” Andy answered. “And by the way, I love Next Gen NYC.”

Around the same time, Gia addressed the firing report amid rumors of the college allegations.

“I feel like I need to low-key address this, but not really because it’s so dumb, but no, I’m not fired from Bravo. And that Rutgers scandal is just not true. That never happened,” said Gia in a video shared by @sunny66878 on X. “I also graduated two years ago, and this story came out like two weeks ago. So you know the math is just not just mathing … People are just bored. They have nothing better else to do, or say, or post. But no, sadly, guys, I’m still on Bravo. Sorry to break your hearts.”

Back in May, Gia addressed why she began to get more vocal on Real Housewives of New Jersey.

“It just came to the point where I couldn’t take it. I would be sitting there, watching scenarios play out, and I would think to myself, ‘You’re lying. This is not how it happened. That is not what you did for us. This is all a lie,’” said Gia on her Casual Chaos podcast, alluding to her uncle Joe Gorga and aunt Melissa Gorga. “And also it’s like, ‘You’re gaslighting everyone to thinking you were this amazing person, but you weren’t.’”

“I got called disrespectful, ‘I have no respect,’ everything that you could think of, ‘The way you talk to your uncle is shameful,’ everything,” she added. “But it is really difficult when it’s your life and it’s your family.”
