Gia Giudice reflects on her growth in the spotlight, where she has seen herself for over 5 years

What would you say is the most challenging thing about growing up in the public eye? Conversely, what do you think is the most positive aspect of growing up in the public eye?

It can be really difficult to see your life depicted on television because viewers tend to feel like they know everything about you and sometimes feel entitled to form opinions based on the show. Unfortunately, some people can be very cruel with their opinions and comments. It’s sad because for many young women on television this can create a sort of pressure to live up to unrealistic standards. I am very lucky to have my parents because they instilled values ​​in me that give me a strong sense of identity. I choose to focus on and appreciate the many positives rather than the negatives. One of the most positive things about this platform is all the incredible experiences and opportunities it has given me. I’m very grateful to Bravo and all the fans who have supported us for so long. It’s so special to have so many fans who truly love me and my family, it’s a really great feeling.

Since TikTok is so popular, there are countless accounts dedicated to sharing old “RHONJ” clips, especially from when you and your sisters were little. How does it feel to see this?

It’s so nostalgic. I think that’s also one of the best things about the show, because it’s like a bunch of home videos that we’ll always have. It means a lot to have videos from when my grandparents were alive. Having memories with my grandfather and grandmother in the movie is priceless.

Of course, we can’t mention TikTok without mentioning the viral audio “Waking Up in the Morning” – it’s a classic! What was it like seeing so many people, including big celebrities, respond to your singing?

It was shocking! I never thought that a random old clip of a song I wrote as a child would resurface and go completely viral. I couldn’t believe people liked it. Cardi B AND Will Smith They were quoting the clip. It went from embarrassing to something I fully accepted. It also helped kickstart my entrepreneurial journey because I later launched a line of hoodies with the quote written on them.

Besides “RHONJ,” what is your favorite “Housewives” franchise?

Outside of the ‘Housewives’ universe, do you have a favorite Bravo show?

Tell us about your life outside of reality TV, especially your entrepreneurship.

What do you like most about being a big sister?

What message do you have for the young women who follow you?

I want to inspire young women to speak out and advocate for themselves. After receiving criticism for standing up for myself and my family, it became much more important for me to share this message with other young women. No matter what others think, you have the right to speak up and use your voice. Finding your voice can sometimes be a difficult journey for young women and I want you to know that you are not alone. In fact, I am launching a jewelry partnership with Evry Jewels where I have created a necklace dedicated to sharing this same message.

You and your boyfriend, Christian, are clearly going strong! Do you have any favorite memories or relationship milestones?

That’s a good question… but where do you hope to see yourself in the next five years?
