In our latest AllAboutTRH podcast episode, we’re diving into Bravo’s latest drama drop! First, we recap the newest episode of The Valley—and why the dynamics are shifting. Then, it’s all about the Next Gen NYC season premiere. Is the show revolving a little too much around Brooks? We discuss whether that’s a smart move or a risky one. Plus, we break down why Ariana might be the key to the show’s success and what Riley and Gia’s involvement could mean for Bravo’s next era.
Gia Giudice is no stranger to the spotlight — she’s grown up in front of Bravo’s cameras thanks to her mom, Teresa Giudice of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Now, at 24, she’s stepping into her own with a new show, a demanding schedule, and a potential big move.
The reality star is one of the fresh faces leading Bravo’s new series Next Gen NYC, which premiered June 3. The show follows a group of young adults, many with Bravo ties, as they build lives and careers in New York City. For Gia, who’s been splitting her time between New Jersey and Manhattan, filming has added a whole new layer to her already packed calendar.
“My schedule has only picked up since Next Gen NYC,” she told TODAY.com at the premiere party on June 2. “It picked up the summer we were filming Next Gen, and no one knew that we were filming it. It’s just my career kind of started picking up and my brand started growing.”
The constant back-and-forth between her hometown in New Jersey and the city has taken its toll. “It’s a lot,” she admitted. “It’s super exhausting.”
Now, Gia Giudice is planning to settle into the city more permanently. “I think in August, I’m really going to start looking at apartments and moving into something in September,” she said. While she hasn’t decided exactly where she’ll land, she’s weighing her options: “I’m either going to do Manhattan or Jersey City. I’m gonna figure it out.”
Still, she’s not planning to completely give up her Jersey roots. “I’ll still spend my weekend at home, maybe every other weekend at home. I have to see my Bella,” she said, referencing her beloved dog.
Though stepping into a new series might be nerve-wracking for some, Gia Giudice says she felt at home in front of the camera. “I wasn’t honestly scared. My life has been on the cameras for so long,” she explained. “I’m so open with my audience, and I just kept doing that on Next Gen.”
And while the show certainly brings drama — it is Bravo, after all — Gia Giudice says it’s not quite the same as the high-stakes conflicts seen on Housewives. “It’s not as intense — as a friend group in their 20s, figuring it out, going through the motions,” she said. “So the drama is like normal friendship drama.”
Catch Next Gen NYC Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo, with next-day streaming on Peacock
Reality TV fans know that sometimes the most unexpected moments leave a lasting impression — and years later, those moments can still stir up controversy. Recently, Nick Viall revisited an old encounter on The Bachelor involving Jasmine Goode that has since sparked a bit of a stir. During an episode of his podcast, The Viall Files, Nick recalled a time when Jasmine “pretended to choke” him, teasing him after he didn’t receive a coveted one-on-one date.
Reflecting on the moment, Nick didn’t hold back about how it made him feel. “I would love an apology from Jasmine,” he said with a chuckle. “I’m still triggered.” He went on to say, “All the jokes aside [on] the Jasmine strangling me thing … that did make me uncomfortable. There was a blackout moment.”
However, Jasmine Goode fired back when Daily Mail reached out for her take on Nick’s comments. “Nick is a clout chaser,” she said bluntly. “He wants attention because I actually did his podcast when he first started out, and we joked about it. He laughed about it.”
Jasmine also clarified that she never actually touched Nick. “I did not actually touch him. It was gesturing,” she explained. “And number three, when you’re in that situation, I was a sister wife, this is my man, you’re dating, this is your boyfriend.”
She also admitted that her behavior fits her New Jersey roots. “I’m sorry, I’m from Jersey,” Jasmine said. “If I’m upset with you, like, yes, I want to choke you right now. That’s how we handle things.”
She concluded with a pointed remark about Nick’s repeated focus on the incident: “So, for Nick to act like, ‘Oh, Jasmine,’ please. Really, Nick? Get something else. I know you want attention, but this is so Nick coded.”
As the drama unfolds, The Valley continues to air new episodes on Bravo every Tuesday at 8/7 ET

Andy Cohen Confirms RHONJ Is Not Over And That They Are Actively Casting
After months of speculation and silence, Bravo’s kingpin Andy Cohen has finally given fans a long-awaited update on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. And while things have been quiet in the Garden State, Cohen says plans are definitely in motion.
Appearing on The View on June 3, Andy Cohen confirmed that the RHONJ franchise is far from over — despite being on an extended hiatus.
“We are doing casting with Jersey as well,” he said. “It was really on a deep pause and we are actively there casting and kind of looking at the future of what that will be. It’s a great franchise and we love it. I just have to reiterate that.”
The confirmation comes as fans continue to speculate about the fate of the popular series, which has been surrounded by drama both on and off-screen. Cohen didn’t drop names or specifics but made it clear that Bravo is reworking the show’s next chapter — something longtime viewers have been hoping for.
Andy Cohen also addressed rumors surrounding The Real Housewives of New York City, assuring fans that the rebooted series is still very much alive.
“It’s not over,” Cohen emphasized. “We are between seasons where we typically do a little casting, which is what’s happening now and we’re very close.”
The news comes as a relief to fans who worried the RHONY reboot wasn’t resonating. Cohen confirmed that some of the current cast will “absolutely” be returning for Season 16, alongside some fresh faces.
Even outside of the Housewives universe, Cohen had thoughts on other Bravo staples. Speaking about Summer House, he admitted he’s just a fan like the rest of us — but he knows star power when he sees it.
“I really just watch as a fan,” he said. “These are people that we have fallen in love with and I think that they will continue to evolve in front of Bravo cameras in one way or another.”
Meanwhile, RHONJ veteran Teresa Giudice gave her own take on the franchise’s future while attending the red carpet for daughter Gia Giudice’s new show Next Gen NYC. When asked about Cohen’s recent comment that it may be “a while” before RHONJ returns, Teresa said she’s unbothered.
“I’m fine with it,” she said. “I feel like they need to bring us back, ‘cause everybody wants us to come back. Whenever Bravo’s ready, I’ll be ready.”
And in a surprising moment, Teresa even said she’d be willing to return with the same cast — a group that’s seen some serious division in recent seasons.
“I’m the OG,” she said. “They’re not getting rid of me until Bravo does. Everyone loves Jersey.”
So what’s next for RHONJ? It sounds like it’s all still in the works. But one thing is certain — Andy Cohen and Bravo aren’t saying goodbye to New Jersey just yet.
After stirring up speculation with his bold comparison between The Real Housewives of Rhode Island and the iconic Real Housewives of New Jersey, Bravo’s kingpin Andy Cohen is walking it back—sort of.
Appearing on The View this week, Andy was asked about a comment he made last week claiming the new Rhode Island cast might give Jersey a run for its money. His response? A classic Bravo-style pivot.
“Well, listen, New Jersey Housewives stand alone,” Andy Cohen clarified. “Let me just say that.”
But don’t count RHORI out just yet. According to Andy Cohen, the new cast brings something big to the table—literally and culturally.
“These are real,” he emphasized. “I don’t think a lot of people realize what a very Italian community Rhode Island is. It’s major.”
Andy continued with enthusiasm: “And you know what, you don’t mess with folks from Rhodey. You don’t mess with them. And they are very Italian. We have found a very Italian group, and they’re hilarious, and they have big families—and so I’m really excited to introduce everybody.”

When asked if fans can expect any Teresa Giudice-style table flips—one of the most legendary moments in Real Housewives history—Andy played it coy. “That’s been done, so we’ll see,” he said.
Earlier this month, Cohen acknowledged the inevitable comparisons to The Real Housewives of New Jersey, especially given the shared Italian-American roots and big, boisterous family dynamics. But he made it clear the Rhode Island crew has its own flavor—and even reminded him of early Jersey, which many fans consider peak Bravo.
With Andy promising a cast full of personality, tradition, and plenty of drama, The Real Housewives of Rhode Island might just carve out its own legacy—table flip or not.
Once hailed as a legal titan and the real-life inspiration behind the blockbuster film Erin Brockovich, Tom Girardi now finds himself at the center of a far less glamorous story — sentenced to seven years in prison for defrauding his clients of millions.
On June 3, a federal judge in California handed down the sentence to the 86-year-old disbarred attorney, marking a dramatic fall from grace for the man once known as a “champion of justice.” The Department of Justice confirmed the conviction, which stems from Girardi’s embezzlement of approximately $15 million from vulnerable clients over the course of a decade.
“This self-proclaimed ‘champion of justice’ was nothing more than a thief and a liar who conned his vulnerable clients out of millions of dollars,” said U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli. “My office will vigorously prosecute corrupt lawyers and those who assist them in criminal activities.”
Tom Girardi, who rose to national prominence in the 1990s after his involvement in the Pacific Gas and Electric groundwater contamination case — the basis for Erin Brockovich — later became a pop culture figure through his appearances on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, alongside his now-estranged wife, Erika Jayne (Erika Girardi).
Federal prosecutors revealed that Girardi funneled over $25 million from his law firm to EJ Global, the company set up to fund Jayne’s entertainment career. That money went toward lavish expenses including private jets, luxury cars, high-end jewelry, and exclusive club memberships.
Erika Jayne, 53, filed for divorce in 2020 after allegations against Girardi surfaced. She has repeatedly claimed she was unaware of his criminal behavior. Though named in a lawsuit related to the Lion Air crash victims, she was dismissed from the case in 2022.
Throughout the trial, Girardi’s legal team argued he was suffering from Alzheimer’s and living in an assisted care facility. Nevertheless, he was declared competent to stand trial in early 2024 and must surrender to authorities by July 17.
Jayne, who was in London on the day of the sentencing for a performance at the iconic KOKO club, reflected on her recent struggles in an interview with Vogue UK. “We all go through things — you have to realize that you’re not the only one,” she said. “And you have to find the will to take baby steps until you feel more comfortable, and those baby steps might last for a long time.”
Even while serving time in prison, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah is making sure her fans stay informed. The convicted felon recently shared a heartfelt message on her website, showing her gratitude and resilience as she navigates her sentence.
Jen Shah began her statement on May 30 with the Muslim greeting, “Bismillah,” meaning “in the name of Allah.” She addressed her followers with warmth and honesty, saying, “I pray that my supporters are SHAHMAZING and doing well. Over the past month, my team has shared with me the many loving messages provided by my supporters.”
She acknowledged some of the rumors and internet chatter about her, noting, “I’ve heard about the Met Gala references, the infamous GIF of my feet touching the snow in the heels from RHOSLC, and my personal well being. I am in great spirits and well.”
Jen Shah also took time to thank everyone who has supported her throughout her incarceration, which began more than two years ago. “The consistent love and admiration from my supporters, my loving family, and my faith keeps me going as I make it through this rehabilitative journey of coming home soon,” she wrote.
In fact, Jen shared a glimpse into her daily life behind bars, revealing that she remains dedicated to fitness and helping others: “I wanted to share a personal image that I mailed to my team of one of my shahmazing workouts. I remain consistent in my passion for fitness and helping other inmates achieve similar goals. You will see more soon.”
Her note concluded on a grounded and accepting tone: “I can only control what I can control.”
Jen’s legal troubles began in March 2021 when she and her assistant Stuart Smith were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud related to a telemarketing scheme, as well as conspiracy to commit money laundering. Though both initially pleaded not guilty, Jen changed her plea to guilty in July 2022.
In January 2023, she was sentenced to 6.5 years in federal prison, during which she expressed remorse, apologizing that “my actions have hurt innocent people.”
After reporting to Bryan Federal Prison Camp in Texas on February 17, 2023, Jen’s sentence was reduced by one year in March 2023, moving her release date initially from 2028 to August 30, 2028. Since then, her time has been reduced twice more, with her current projected release date being November 3, 2026, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ inmate database viewed by PEOPLE.
Early in her sentence, Jen Shah’s representative told PEOPLE that she was “doing well and remains committed towards making her victims whole.” They added, “She has initiated her payments towards restitution, and we hope to have her home as soon as possible so that she may resume life with her family and work, putting this chapter of her life behind her.”
Despite the hardships, Jen Shah’s message shows a determination to remain strong and connected. Fans of the Real Housewives alum will no doubt be watching closely as she continues this journey.
With The Real Housewives of New Jersey officially on pause following one of its most explosive and divided seasons yet, all eyes were on Teresa Giudice as she hit the red carpet for the premiere of Next Gen NYC, the new Bravo show starring her daughter Gia Giudice.
Speaking exclusively with Access Hollywood, Teresa opened up about the state of the franchise and her potential return to the show that made her a household name.
“I feel like they need to bring us back ’cause everybody wants us to come back,” Teresa said confidently. “But you know what? Whenever Bravo’s ready, then I’ll be ready. We’ll see if I’ll be ready,” she added with a playful laugh.
Season 14 of RHONJ was a season unlike any other. Tensions between cast members—particularly Teresa Giudice and her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga—reached an all-time high, culminating in a cast so fractured that Bravo reportedly chose not to film a traditional reunion. Shortly after the season wrapped, RHONJ was put on pause, sparking rumors of a major reboot, cast shakeups, or even a permanent split in the group.
Amidst all the speculation, Teresa made her position clear when asked if she would return with the same cast. “UM, yes. Because I’m the OG,” she said. “They’re not getting rid of me until Bravo gets rid of me.”

As her daughter Gia embarks on her own Bravo journey with Next Gen NYC, the matriarch made it clear that the Giudice name isn’t going anywhere. “It would be weird if I was on Bravo and my mom wasn’t,” Gia added with a smile.
While Bravo has yet to confirm the official fate of RHONJ, Teresa Giudice’s message to the network and fans alike is loud and clear: she’s ready whenever they are.
Catch Gia in the spotlight on Next Gen NYC, premiering 6/3 on Bravo.
Gia Giudice and Riley Burruss may both be daughters of Bravo royalty, but that hasn’t stopped tensions from rising between the two ahead of the premiere of Next Gen NYC. The upcoming Bravo series, featuring the next generation of Real Housewives kids, is already generating drama — and it’s not even on air yet.
The rift began after Gia, 24, made some offhand comments on her podcast Casual Chaos, comparing The Real Housewives of New Jersey and The Real Housewives of Atlanta — the franchises that made their moms, Teresa Giudice and Kandi Burruss, household names. “I didn’t think it was that deep,” Gia told Us Weekly on May 31. “I don’t know how to please her, I guess.”
During the podcast, co-host Dolores Catania suggested that RHOA could “give RHONJ a run,” prompting Gia to bring up the conversation with Riley, 22. But Riley didn’t appreciate the comparison. “She looked at me and said, ‘No, they’re very different,’” Gia recalled. “I was very surprised, but she got very offended when I said that. It was me also trying to bond over something.”
Gia Giudice later clarified that her intention wasn’t to compare their moms or offend anyone. “All I was saying was, obviously, every Housewife franchise has its own niche,” she explained. “But at the end of the day, they also have the same common denominator. They’re friend groups with drama.”
TikTok commentary only added fuel to the fire. “It’s the same guy that always reports on drama,” Gia noted, referring to a content creator who weighed in. “He actually [hit] the nail on the head. He said, ‘I don’t really think Gia was comparing Kandi and Teresa.’ I was not. In no way, shape or form.”
“I really was just like, our moms are on reality TV. They’re both on Bravo. I don’t know, she didn’t really like it, I guess,” Gia added.
Despite the conflict with Riley, Gia said she’s built a solid bond with another castmate, Ariana Biermann, daughter of RHOA alum Kim Zolciak. Ariana, 23, confirmed the quick connection: “I didn’t know what to think, but I definitely didn’t think we were going to hit it off on our first day ever hanging out, and that’s what we did.” Still, she noted that her friendship with Riley could complicate things. “That will definitely keep some friendships rocky and on the rocks between a lot of different people.”
With Next Gen NYC right around the corner, the next wave of Real Housewives drama looks ready to take center stage.
Amanda Caroline Cronin, known for her upcoming role on The Real Housewives of London and her luxury skincare empire, is opening up about the secret behind her striking figure. At 57, the former model and socialite has turned to a trending but controversial aid: Ozempic.
Amanda Caroline Cronin, who gained over 20 pounds during menopause, decided to take action when her dress size began to climb. “I lost weight on Ozempic last year – 10 kilos on a microdose of 0.25 in six weeks,” she told MailOnline.
“I have managed to keep it off and just microdose a few weeks a year if the weight starts to creep up,” she explained. “I decided to lose weight as my dress size crept up from six to eight to ten in two years. I was a double zero all my life – now I’m a size zero in couture.”
Her transformation turned heads during a recent appearance in Monaco, where she wore a bold yellow Melissa Odabash bikini poolside at the exclusive Monte-Carlo Beach Hotel. The five-night stay in her suite? A cool £11,400.
As she gears up for her reality TV debut, Amanda joins a growing number of real housewives who’ve credited GLP-1 medications like Ozempic for weight loss.
Amanda, however, emphasized that she’s experienced no negative side effects. “There were no side effects at all from microdosing, and it helped me give up using alcohol socially as it doesn’t mix well and can make you feel tired or nauseous,” she said.
“After six weeks of not drinking at all, I decided to keep going!”
Though Ozempic is typically prescribed to patients with a BMI over 35 and additional medical conditions, Amanda said a doctor friend provided her with the medication. She found the drug particularly helpful in navigating menopause-related challenges.
“GLP-1 rebalances the body’s resistance to insulin which occurs when the oestrogen levels are low – in perimenopause, menopause, post-menopause,” she explained. “This is a factor of weight gain in menopause.”
“I feel this has been a positive and long-lasting solution to weight management. Even without the Ozempic, now my insulin resistance is rebalanced I no longer gain weight, bloat, or retain water as before. My annual medical blood test results were so impressive and improved, I cried!”
Alongside the medication, Amanda sticks to a disciplined wellness routine that includes walking 20,000 steps a day, Pilates, swimming three times a week, and eating a Mediterranean-style diet.
“I enjoy food but have a small appetite. I enjoy seafood, fish and salads – the Mediterranean diet.”
As she prepares to step into the limelight with The Real Housewives of London, Amanda Cronin is proving that reinvention doesn’t have an age limit—and for her, a microdose made a macro impact.
