About this episode

Gia Giudice discusses her experiences growing up on reality TV and her personal journey in a candid conversation with Kaitlyn Bristowe.

#957. After spending nearly two decades in the spotlight, Gia Giudice joins Kaitlyn for a candid conversation about growing up on The Real Housewives of New Jersey and navigating life in one of reality TV's most talked-about families. From dealing with tabloids as a teenager to living through some of her family's most public challenges, Gia reflects on the highs, the lows, and how those experiences shaped the person she is today. She also opens up about moving out on her own, why living alone has been unexpectedly healing for her mental health, and the pressure that comes with being the oldest daughter in a family millions of people have watched grow up. Gia shares an update on her relationship with her dad and the ongoing effort to bring him back to the United States, talks about gaining Louie as a stepfather, and reveals why viewers will see a more authentic and open version of her on Season 2 of Next Gen NYC. Plus, details on her new restaurant venture, Il Vero, putting more of her personal life on camera, Bravo hot takes, and a hilarious round of Toast or Roast.
