Gia Giudice once again called out Bethenny Frankel for commenting on her family’s tax debt after it was revealed her mom, Teresa Giudice, and her stepdad, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, owed $3 million in taxes.
“I get it, it’s what we signed up for, but if people could refrain from saying things, that’s all I was saying,” the 24-year-old recently told People.
“Just treat people the way you would want to be treated. There was no need.”
Gia added that she will always defend her family.
“I’m honestly just over talking about it. There’ll be a new thing next week, and I think she should just leave it at that too,” she said.
“I have three younger sisters who I’m trying to protect as well, and they don’t need to see all of this in the public eye either.”
Frankel gave her opinion on Teresa’s financial troubles in March after the news made headlines.
“I cannot believe that Teresa is in another marriage with financial legal issues,” the “RHONY” alum, 54, said via TikTok.
“I have to pull when I tweeted, ‘If Teresa Giudice does not sign a prenup, I will jump through my phone.’ I remember — and this was picked up everywhere,” Frankel added.
“I feel terrible but, like, fool me once, you’re a fool, fool me twice, I’m a fool. … There’s never been a worse picker in the history of pickers than myself besides Teresa.”
At the time, Frankel also claimed on TikTok that one of Teresa’s four daughters — referring to Gia — didn’t like the idea of her mom signing a prenup.
“She’s just ill-advised and not educated on this topic. She just doesn’t know. And hopefully she’ll realize when she one day gets married, if that’s something she wants, that it’s about being financially literate,” the former Bravolebrity added.
Gia then clapped back at Frankel on an episode of her “Casual Chaos” podcast, saying she hoped bashing her family was worth the “$1,000 TikTok paycheck.”
In her interview with People, Gia also accused Frankel of gaslighting her.
“I didn’t say half of the things that she made in her statement,” Gia said. “I was never recommending financial advice or anything along those lines.”
Reps for Frankel weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
Page Six confirmed Teresa, 52, owes $303,889.20 in tax liens, while Ruelas, 49, owes nearly $2.6 million.
The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star infamously faced financial issues during her previous marriage to Joe Giudice.
The now-exes both served time in prison on federal fraud charges. Joe was deported to Italy in 2019 after serving his sentence.
