Teresa Giudice’s daughter Gia Giudice reached out to Jackie Goldschneider to confront her over the analogy drama that played out earlier this season on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
“I, honestly, reached out to her,” Gi claimed in Entertainment Tonight’s sneak peek of the May 9 episode of Watch What Happens Lives With Andy Cohen’s “The Real Housekids of Bravo” special, according to Us Weekly. “Because I had complaints from my sorority. I was almost put in a meeting, because they wanted to make sure I was OK.”
“I dealt with a lot of things because of this analogy, and I made her very aware of that,” she said on the WWHL teaser clip “And then, following that, she did apologize and then she did her Twitter apology, which I did … I, like, I thought it was all right, but it wasn’t anything too crazy.”
Although the two did have a private discussion and Jackie apologized, Gia told Andy Cohen that she was “completely disgusted” by her name being brought up in a negative manner. “No Housewife has ever disrespected me,” she said. “For one person to ever use my name in a poor manner, I was, like, in shock.”
As previously reported, Teresa alleged that Jackie’s husband, Evan Goldschneider, was unfaithful to her with someone at his gym during the Wednesday, February 17, premiere. After Goldschneider learned that Giudice was making these claims about Evan at his birthday party, Jackie asked Teresa to admit that she was lying.
Things between the two got more intense and heated when Jackie compared the cheating claims about Evan to rumors that Teresa’s eldest daughter, Gia Giudice, “snorts coke in the bathroom” at parties. Teresa stormed off and called Goldschneider the ‘c-word’ multiple times.
Goldschneider notes that she only used Gia as an analogy. “I wasn’t starting a rumor about Gia. I was giving an analogy,” Jackie told Us Weekly. “I think that like almost everyone will say that that’s an analogy and the truth is that there’s no one else in Teresa’s life that I can make her understand. When you say something about someone you love, whether or not it’s true, it hurts, you know? So, I don’t regret that because if I was saying something nasty about Gia, then I would regret it. But I was giving an analogy, which it was pretty clear to almost everyone.”
“When it comes to my family, I will never be OK with somebody trying to come between us. So, I’ll never have a thick skin when it comes to my family,” she added. “The fact that anybody could think that you could do something that potentially destroys a family with four young children, and then just be like, ‘Who cares’ to me? There’s no show I could be on long enough that that would ever happen.”
After the episode aired, Gia reposted a lengthy statement from her mother’s business manager after Jackie dragged her into her fight with Teresa.
“Gia is a wonderful, smart, strong and beautiful human being and what was done to her tonight was wrong on so many levels. For a grown ass ‘I’m so so smart I’m lawyer’ woman to bring Gia’s name into an argument & place an accusation with such a weighted consequence is inconceivable,” Appian Entertainment’s Karianne Fischbach wrote on Wednesday, February 17. “I cannot fathom what would [possess] someone to create a false narrative that could have severe consequences for the innocent party involved, a 19-year-old at the time who was in no way involved in anything. what the cast members choose to do to each other is the nature of the reality TV beast, this was to [SIC] far.”
The statement ended with, “I hope apologies are made & I hope family sticks together on this one. I’d have a hard time support friend who did that to my niece, #justsayin.”
