Teresa Giudice accuses her RHONJ co-stars of being “jealous” that her daughter Gia Giudice appears on the show.

Teresa Giudice recently criticized her Real Housewives of New Jersey co-stars for their issues with her daughter, Gia Giudice, being involved in the drama on the show.

Gia Giudice has been a staple on the New Jersey Housewives franchise since the show’s inception in 2009. Since then, Bravo fans have watched her grow up on the show and get more involved in the antics between the cast, especially when it comes to the family drama involving her aunt and uncle, Melissa and Joe Gorga.

Over the last few seasons, Gia has filmed confessionals and given her opinions on the drama in the group, but not everyone in the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast appreciates the 23-year-old getting involved.

In fact, during season 14, Melissa Gorga vocalized her disdain for Gia getting involved in the drama and shared her opinion since she’s just a “child.”

“She’s a child; why are you talking to a child about adult conversations?” Melissa said. “It’s so f-cking weird that a child is even – that’s so f-cking weird.”

Apparently, Teresa wasn’t a fan of Melissa’s comment and insisted she was “jealous.”

While appearing on the July 31 episode of Kelly Ripa’s Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast, Teresa claimed that her Real Housewives of New Jersey co-stars were jealous of Gia’s involvement in the show.

“Some people get jealous on the show that she’s around, some of my cast members, and it’s like, who cares?” Teresa said before adding, “She’s not a kid; she’s 23. She’s an adult!”

When asked if she’d like to see Gia return to the show, Teresa said, “I would love for her to, ‘cause I mean, she has grown up on the show.”

Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Sundays at 8 pm.
