Gia Giudice is working on building her own brand. After appearing on season one of Next Gen NYC, she is now one of the contestants on the upcoming season of Special Forces: The World’s Toughest Test. Now, ahead of the premiere, she is opening up about her previous comments about there being tension with Kody Brown on the Fox series.
In addition to Gia, her mother, Teresa Giudice, is on the show. It also features the likes of Eva Marcille, Brittany Cartwright, and Jussie Smollett.
Gia recently interviewed with US Weekly. During the conversation, she was asked about her previous comments about Kody. It’s worth noting that she didn’t mention him by name, but fans were able to infer that she was referring to him. She told the outlet, “I was just saying people, obviously, had some issues with him.”
“There were just scenarios — which you guys will see on Special Forces — where, maybe, he wasn’t being the best team player and he wasn’t looking out for the people who were on his team and more so just looking out for himself and the end goal to win,” she continued.
Gia added, “When you have other people on your team, we’re trying our best and we’re struggling a little bit. Let us catch our breath, we lost this one already, let’s just make it up the hill smoothly. There were just some things where I think a couple of the cast members were like, ‘OK.'”
Still, she says there is “no beef” between them. According to her, “I think we’re all kind of just like, ‘It’s OK.’ But I wouldn’t say that he was the best team player in certain situations. I think he was trying to be, and then at certain points, things would pop out, and then they would get some people a little annoyed. But we really had such an amazing cast.”
She also stated that Kody helped her out at specific points during the show. He previously told the outlet, “I am Gen X and half the cast was Gen Z.” Kody went on, “I felt like I got along. I honestly felt like I got along with Gia. There was a point where we’re forced to make a choice about something, and I just got as deadly honest about it as I could.”
He added, “I didn’t know how to handle certain things, and I didn’t know how to manage confrontation afterwards about, ‘Why did you pick me?'” “We live in a modern world. There’s things I cannot say. Just because you remind me of my daughter, I wouldn’t ever let her get on that plane. … It is a tough world. It’ll surprise you who is strong in some places and who’s weak in places you wouldn’t have expected them to be,” Kody continued.
Special Forces premieres on Fox on September 25.
