Gia Giudice panicked amid a reported financial audit this week as the daughter of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice quietly disabled comments on her Instagram and allegedly began avoiding her peers at Rutgers Law School.
Sources close to the 23-year-old law student say she has been “visibly anxious” and “totally withdrawn” ever since news of a behind-the-scenes tax inspection involving her name began circulating among Bravo fan accounts and gossip forums.
While no official statement has been made by Gia or her representatives, speculation intensified after internet sleuths noticed she had wiped captions off several past sponsored posts and limited who could interact with her social media content.
“She’s been gifted trips, designer clothes, brand deals, and there’s chatter that not all of it was properly disclosed,” said one industry insider who requested anonymity.
“Now with her studying law, it’s ironic that she’s caught up in this kind of mess.”Adding fuel to the fire, Gia’s ex-boyfriend was also reportedly questioned after a series of Venmo transactions between the two surfaced online, leading fans to wonder if certain payments or gifts could be connected to unreported income.
The Giudice family has long faced financial controversy dating back to Teresa’s prison sentence for fraud in 2015, and many are speculating that the spotlight on Gia signals a next-generation wave of scrutiny.
Still, some Bravo fans are rallying behind Gia, arguing that she’s being unfairly targeted because of her mother’s past. “She’s just a student, let her live,” one supporter wrote online, while another commented, “This is what happens when your whole life has been publicized since you were a kid.
