RHOM Drama Explodes and NextGen NYC Gets Real: Gia Giudice Speaks Out, Julia Lemigova Slams Jen Fessler.
This week brought a double dose of drama from NextGen NYC and The Real Housewives of Miami – we’re diving headfirst into Gia Giudice’s clapbacks and Julia Lemigova’s scathing takedown of Jen Fessler. Let’s go!
🗽 Gia Giudice Owns Her Behavior on NextGen NYC
Gia is finally speaking out about how she was portrayed on NextGen NYC, and she’s not holding back. According to Gia, the show didn’t capture her authentic self. She admitted she was overly harsh during a dinner argument with Riley Burruss and Georgia, especially over something as small as a bowling alley plan.
In true Teresa fashion, Gia came clean: “I need to shut the f*** up sometimes,” she said bluntly. She also mentioned her friendships with Brooks Marks and Ariana Biermann felt natural, while her connection with Riley grew during filming.
Riley, for her part, threw subtle shade back. She made it clear she wasn’t here for nepotism-fueled friendships: “My mom’s a Grammy-winning artist—your mom isn’t.” Boom.
🥞 Julia Lemigova Calls Out Jen Fessler: “Flip-Flopper Festler”
Meanwhile, on RHOM, Julia Lemigova is done playing nice with Jen Fessler. She dragged Jen for being a Bravo opportunist, claiming she flew across the country just to be edited out of an episode. Ouch.
Julia sarcastically dubbed her “Jen Flip-Flopper Festler” and accused her of switching loyalties too often. According to Julia, Jen got publicly corrected for speaking on the Julia vs. Guerdy feud without knowing the facts—and then completely missed key event details. “You came, you saw, and you conquered… nothing,” Julia quipped.
🥊 Guerdy vs. Julia: Round Two
The drama didn’t end there. Guerdy shared private texts from Julia during her emotional Celebration of Life event. Julia blasted the move as “public humiliation” and accused Guerdy of undercutting a meaningful moment.
In response, Guerdy doubled down and announced her new memoir, From Trauma to Trophies, hitting shelves November 2025. She declared this next phase of her life is all about boundaries, truth, and living cancer-free.
Even WWHL guest Stephanie Shojaee weighed in, calling out Guerdy for holding grudges and suggesting the feud with Julia isn’t as resolved as fans think.
💭 Thoughts
Whew! Whether it’s NextGen NYC or RHOM, the drama is as juicy as ever. Sound off in the comments, Bravo lovers. Are you Team Gia or Team Riley? Is Jen Fessler a Bravo clout chaser or just misunderstood? And should Guerdy have aired those texts?

Julia is awful
she’s certainly showing her true colors lately and it ain’t cute
should Guerdy have aired those texts?
… definitely not 🚫🔒
I think there was a better way of doing that. Texts should be private, now no one will trust her.
Yes, I think Jen Fessler is a Bravo clout chaser.
Team Gia 🌟💖
Looks like Riley doesn’t want to be friends with Gia! Hope she would not cry about it though, I don’t want to see it ever again
