Teresa Giudice has called the host a coward for daring to use her daughter’s image to promote Bravo.

“Coward!” – Teresa Giudice Explodes Over Home and Away Promo Controversy

In a scandal that no one saw coming, Australian soap Home and Away has found itself caught in the crossfire of American reality TV drama – and none other than Teresa Giudice is holding the torch. In a furious statement made late last night, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star accused the show’s production team and its promotional partners of exploiting her daughter’s image without consent to boost ratings. And she’s not staying silent.

“This is a new low,” Teresa fumed on social media. “Using my daughter to hype up your drama? Cowards. You don’t mess with my family.”

The controversy erupted after an Australian network aired a new promo for Home and Away that briefly flashed an image from an unrelated U.S. Bravo special featuring Teresa’s daughter, Gia Giudice. Though the frame lasted less than a second, eagle-eyed fans spotted it – and within hours, the internet lit up. Was it a glitch? A deliberate nod? Or something far more calculated?

Insiders are already whispering that this might have been a desperate ploy to tap into U.S. viewership, leveraging Gia Giudice’s growing popularity among younger Bravo fans. But if that’s true, the backlash may have just eclipsed the benefit.

The promo in question was meant to tease an upcoming Home and Away arc involving a young woman’s emotional reckoning with her past — a plot that, ironically, focuses on issues of identity and family privacy. It’s unclear how a Giudice family clip ended up in the final cut, but the producers have yet to issue a full explanation.

What’s even more bizarre is how far removed the Giudice family is from the world of Home and Away. The long-running soap has always been a fixture of Australian TV, with its seaside setting and tight-knit community drama. But this unexpected American crossover — whether accidental or intentional — feels like it belongs in a Real Housewives reunion, not Summer Bay.

Fans are divided. Some are demanding an apology, while others are speculating this may be part of a bizarre new marketing strategy to create international buzz. But if the goal was to stir attention, consider it achieved.

Teresa Giudice, meanwhile, has made it crystal clear: “I don’t care what country you’re in. Keep my daughter out of your mess.”

Is this the beginning of an unexpected international feud between Bravo stars and Australian soap producers? Or just a rogue editor gone rogue? One thing’s certain — this isn’t the kind of drama Home and Away viewers were expecting. But now that Teresa’s involved, all eyes are on the next episode… and the next legal move.
