‘RHOP’ Star Gizelle Bryant Blasted For Anti-Semitic Comments
Gizelle Bryant was hit with fresh backlash only a week after she was slammed for using a gay slur on her podcast, Reasonably Shady. The Real Housewives of Potomac star is now being ripped for making an antisemitic remark during an exchange with co-host, Robyn Dixon.
Gizelle joked about “who’s paying” to go to Drake’s concerts during a chat about the rapper’s pricey tickets, on Monday’s episode of the popular podcast.
“The Rubinsteins,” the Bravo star quipped, using a common Jewish surname. “They are paying for their little child and their friends to go.”
Robyn agreed, commenting, “Right,” through laughter.
Fans called out Gizelle’s comment on social media, with one person writing — “My jaw dropped. This is awful, she should not have a microphone.”
Another listener chimed in — “Um, wow. Repeating tropes like this is the most insidious way of spreading antisemitism. Bye, girls.”
The 52-year-old was also labeled “disgusting” and “unbelievable” for the gaffe, and many fans called for the duo to “do better.”
Gizelle made recent headlines when she used a gay slur during a discussion about the Jussie Smollet hate crime hoax.
“He staged a hate crime,” she said, during her April 3 episode. “They were supposed to put a noose around his neck; they were supposed to call him ‘f–got’ or something … gay empire boy or something.”
Robyn, 44, responded with a sigh, before Gizelle continued — “They were supposed to scream that. These were the words that Jussie gave the [attackers] to do.”
Fans recently dubbed the Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip star a “Karen,” after she asked Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton to stop speaking Spanish during the filming of the third season of the Peacock series.
The mom of three told the Real Housewives of Miami duo that she did not want to feel “left out” of their chat sessions.
“I have a rule,” she said. “No Spanish.”
In March 2022, the podcasters came under fire after swapping racially charged comments about NBA star, James Harden.
Gizelle and Robyn were debating the 76ers player’s facial hair when things took a controversial turn.
The duo mentioned that Harden had been traded by the Brooklyn Nets to the Philadelphia 76ers, which gave the reality stars an opening to diss the athlete’s beard.
“But do the 6ers even know that James Harden?” Gizelle asked. “Because no one can see his face. That beard is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.”
“There’s fried chicken in the beard,” Gizelle continued.
“I’m so used to it I don’t even notice it anymore,” Robyn chimed in, adding — “he clearly loves his beard.”
“I just hope it’s sanitary,” Gizelle continued. “I automatically know and feel in my gut that there’s fried chicken in that beard…fried chicken grease…”
“Watermelon? Am I being racist?” Robyn said.
“This is horrible, I need to stop while I’m ahead,” Gizelle admitted.
Fans echoed RHOP cast members, Karen Huger and Wendy Osefo, who put their co-stars on blast for their comments.
