Gia\u00a0Giudice<\/a>\u00a0says 2025 has been a big year for personal growth and self-reflection. And it\u2019s thanks in large part to\u00a0Next Gen NYC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The influencer made her small-screen debut in\u00a0The Real Housewives of New Jersey<\/a>\u00a0Season 1, when she was introduced as\u00a0Teresa Giudice<\/a>\u2019s sassy 8-year-old daughter. Although she essentially grew up in front of the cameras,\u00a0Gia\u00a0admitted that her RHONJ experience was much different than being on Next Gen NYC, which marked her transition into a full-time cast member role.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Did Next Gen NYC leave Gia Giudice with any regrets?<\/p>\n

Gia\u00a0spoke about the journey during a recent episode of her\u00a0Casual Chaos<\/a>\u00a0podcast, recalling what it was like watching herself on\u00a0Next Gen NYC’s inaugural season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was different,\u201d she told special guest\u00a0Vanderpump Rules<\/a>\u00a0alum\u00a0Lala Kent<\/a>. \u201cEverything that we talked about today on this pod: the feeling that you are doing the right thing in the moment, but then when you watch yourself back, you wish that you maybe handled it differently. But at the end of the day, you said it, and this is how it happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gia Giudice admits she can occasionally “come off harsh”<\/p>\n

Next Gen NYC\u00a0followed\u00a0Gia\u00a0and her group of friends navigate the ups and downs of young adulthood in the Big Apple. And that, of course, included friendship disputes and heated exchanges.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Season 1 saw\u00a0Gia\u00a0get into several tiffs<\/a>\u00a0with her castmates, like fellow Housewives daughters\u00a0Riley Burruss<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Ariana Biermann<\/a>. Gia told Lala she took accountability for her role in the on-screen drama as she admittedly had a \u201ctemper\u201d; however, she said those incidents were not a true reflection of her character.<\/p>\n

\u201cI genuinely have the biggest heart, I am a hustler, I’m a hard worker,\u201d she said. \u201cI think people who have watched Jersey from the start saw that I am compassionate, and I do mean well, but sometimes I come off harsh, and sometimes I can come off a little aggressive\u2026 even though I’m not trying to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gia Giudice says Next Gen NYC inspired her to “be a better version” of herself<\/p>\n

Gia\u00a0said watching Next Gen NYC was like looking in a \u201cmirror,\u201d and she wasn\u2019t always pleased by what she saw.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to check myself and be like, \u2018All right, yes, this is you,\u00a0Gia. You’re a protector. You have that mom instinct, but you also need to be a friend, and you can’t always insert your opinion. Not everybody’s like you,\u2019\u201d she explained. \u201cSo that was hard for me to kind of balance\u2026 And I loved watching myself back because\u2026\u00a0 I self-reflected and I was like, \u2018OK, now I know how I’m going to be a better version of myself moving forward.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next Gen NYC Season 2 was officially announced<\/a>\u00a0on October 22, but the premiere date and casting details have not been revealed. Look back on what went down during Season 1 and\u00a0where the cast members stand today.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gia\u00a0Giudice\u00a0says 2025 has been a big year for personal growth and self-reflection.
