Teresa Giudice Admits Daughter Was Fired from ‘Next Gen NYC’
In a shocking twist that has sent waves through the Bravo-verse, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice has admitted that her daughter was quietly fired from the highly anticipated spinoff series Next Gen NYC. While the show, centered on the children of Real Housewives royalty trying to make their mark in the Big Apple, has been gaining buzz, this unexpected revelation has raised serious questions about what’s really going on behind the scenes.
During a surprise Instagram Live session earlier this week, Teresa appeared more candid than usual, addressing rumors that had been circulating online for weeks. “Yes, it’s true,” she said with a sigh. “My daughter was let go from Next Gen NYC. It wasn’t something we wanted out there, but I’m not gonna lie to my fans.”
Although Teresa did not mention which daughter was involved—she has four daughters: Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana—multiple insiders speculate that it was Gia Giudice, 23, who had been cast in the Bravo spinoff earlier this year. Fans had already spotted Gia filming around SoHo and attending events with other cast members, including Albie Manzo’s younger cousin and Avery Singer, daughter of RHONY‘s Ramona Singer.
So what went wrong?
Sources close to production claim that tension began to brew early in the season. One insider told Housewives Confidential, “Gia clashed with producers. She didn’t want to follow their storyline ideas and pushed back a lot. Bravo loves drama, but not diva behavior from someone who’s new to the spotlight.”
Others suggest that her departure wasn’t solely due to on-set conflict. Allegedly, Gia was juggling a demanding job in law alongside filming, and producers were frustrated with her limited availability. “They felt she wasn’t all-in,” another source added. “She wanted to keep her legal career separate from the reality TV circus, and that just doesn’t fly with this type of show.”
Teresa, ever the protective mama bear, hinted at unfair treatment. “They didn’t give her a fair chance,” she said on the livestream. “My girls were raised in this world. She knows how to carry herself. She just wasn’t going to be someone’s puppet.”
The news has sparked debate among fans: some praise Gia for allegedly walking away from drama, while others believe she missed a big opportunity to carve her own niche in the Bravo universe. Online chatter has exploded, with hashtags like #JusticeForGia and #NextGenMess trending on Twitter.
Bravo has declined to comment officially, and Next Gen NYC is still set to premiere this fall with a slightly reshuffled cast. Whether Gia’s scenes will be included or completely cut remains to be seen.
As for Teresa, she ended her live session with a cryptic comment: “You haven’t seen the last of us. Trust me.”
And if there’s one thing fans know for sure, it’s that no one puts a Giudice down for long.
