'RHONJ' star Gia Giudice fumes after John Fuda mentions her name
MONTVILLE, NEW JERSEY: The ongoing conflict between John Fuda and Teresa Giudice shows no signs of slowing down, causing tension and drama to escalate. Amidst the chaos, Gia Giudice found herself unwillingly caught in the middle of their feud and she got frustrated with being dragged into the crossfire.
During 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey', Season 14 Episode 9, Gia expressed her anger after discovering that John had mentioned her name at her aunt Melissa Gorga's housewarming party while discussing his own teenage struggles.
While attending the limoncello-themed party, John brought up a comparison made by Jackie Goldschneider in 2021 about Gia, Teresa Giudice's daughter, to his own past.
John admitted to getting into trouble for selling a small amount of marijuana when he was 17 years old.
“I was younger than her daughter Gia is, right? And I know in the past, I guess Jackie has accused Gia or made an allegation … that got spun out of control,” he added.
The analogy in question was made by Jackie during a conversation with Teresa, where she asked Teresa how she would feel if a false rumor was spread about her daughter. Jackie later apologized and clarified that the analogy had no basis in truth.
John observed parallels between the current situation and his ongoing conflict this season with Teresa, who had previously labeled him as the "biggest drug dealer in Bergen County" during a recent gathering.
“I was younger than that and you’re accusing me of being the largest drug dealer on top of it?” John shared.
However, Gia did not share the same perspective and was not pleased with her name being brought up in someone else's argument once more.
“What happened to him is not an analogy, it’s a fact about his past,” Gia told her mom Teresa.
'RHONJ' star Gia Giudice brings up John Fuda's analogy topic again during Danielle Cabral's party
Gia Giudice once again raised the topic during the relaunch party for Danielle Cabral's Boujie Kids in 'RHONJ' Season 14, Episode 9. The discussion resurfaced as Gia voiced her concerns and opinions on the matter, prompting a deeper conversation among the attendees.
“Did John Fuda try to reference me in some like, wrong way? Apparently I guess he tried to compare like our ages, being like oh, well, around the age that Gia did this, I did this?” Gia asked Jennifer Fessler.
Jennifer was adamant that John had never made any accusations against Gia.
Dolores Catania entered the chat and told Teresa and Gia, “He was putting into perspective you would get mad that somebody talked about your daughter at that age."
“Don’t use my name in an analogy. Jackie, Fuda, I don’t care who you are. Mention your own kids' name,” Gia told the producers.
Melissa Gorga calls Gia Giudice's involvement in 'RHONJ' fight 'weird'
There was tension among the Housewives at a children's party on 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey', making it clear that the atmosphere was not exactly family-friendly.
During the most recent episode, a group of Housewives, including Melissa Gorga, Rachel Fuda, and Margaret Josephs, were engaged in a lively conversation at Danielle Cabral's Boujie Kidz relaunch party.
Jennifer Fessler approached the group just as Melissa inquired if she was gossiping about them.
Jennifer playfully teased that she was just messing around, before clarifying to Teresa Giudice and Gia Giudice that John Fuda would never mention Gia's name in conversation.
Despite Jennifer's claim that she was standing up for the Fudas, Rachel's abrupt departure at the mere mention of John's name left Melissa questioning why Jennifer was bringing him up in conversation.
"What the f**k?" said a surprised Jennifer.
Melissa expressed her frustration with the fact that Gia, who is only 23 years old and Teresa's daughter, was discussing John Fuda. She questioned why adult conversations were being brought up to a young child and found it strange and inappropriate.
“She’s a child, why are you talking to a child about adult conversations? It’s so f**ing weird that a child is even — that’s so f**king weird," Melissa added.
'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 14 airs on Bravo on Sundays at 8 pm ET
