Teresa and Gia Giudice Clowned For Selling Old Designer Handbags on TikTok
Teresa and Gia Giudice are facing heavy criticism and ridicule after attempting to sell old designer handbags on TikTok, sparking backlash from fans who question their authenticity.
Controversy Over Authenticity
Teresa Giudice and her eldest daughter, Gia Giudice, are finding themselves in hot water after attempting to sell designer handbags on TikTok.
The move comes after the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 52, faced criticism in the past for allegedly sporting counterfeit designer items. In their latest social media venture, Teresa and Gia aimed to convince their followers to purchase used luxury bags, but the backlash has been swift and vocal.
In a recent TikTok video, Gia enthusiastically promoted one of the bags, explaining its features.
“It’s gorgeous. It’s silver hardware,” she said, showcasing the luxury item. Teresa chimed in, adding, “It’s, like, soft like butter,” as she displayed the handbag to the camera. Gia continued, providing more details: “It’s not suede, but it feels like suede. It is lambskin. It’s lightweight, soft. It can be scratched, so you have to be a little careful with it, but it can be conditioned. It comes with an authenticity card and a care booklet.”

Social Media Skepticism
However, the TikTok clip was met with skepticism, especially after the account Your Moms Are Watching shared it alongside a past Saturday Night Live skit that humorously mocked expensive designer bags with mispronunciations like “Herman’s” and “Louis Vitoon.” Social media users quickly jumped into the conversation, referencing Teresa’s previous controversies regarding counterfeit items.
One commenter expressed their doubts, stating, “I truly hope no one is buying those bags. Chances are they are fakes, and they are profiting from fans that don’t know any better. We all know they love their fakes!” Another user echoed this sentiment, saying, “I would never buy from them just because Teresa wears so much fake designer stuff. She needs to tread lightly because she is walking a fine line.”
Teresa’s Professional Boundaries
In addition to the handbag controversy, Teresa recently discussed her refusal to appear in a commercial for Deadpool alongside her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, 45. On the October 23 episode of Turning the Tables, Teresa explained her decision: “Even if I get offered a job with my sister-in-law, I will not do it. I got offered a commercial for ‘Deadpool.’ And I refused it. And she accepted, I refused it.”
Despite the “good payday” offered for the role, Teresa was firm in her decision not to collaborate with Melissa. “I was like, ‘Absolutely not.’ Like, I’m not doing anything — so anybody out there listening, don’t even approach, like, the two of us doing something together because that ship sailed,” she added, emphasizing her desire to maintain professional boundaries.
Changing Dynamics
Following Teresa’s refusal, Real Housewives of Orange County stars Shannon Beador, 60, and Heather Dubrow, 55, stepped in to appear in the ad, further highlighting the changing dynamics among reality stars.
As The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently on pause ahead of its 15th season, Teresa and Gia’s latest venture has certainly stirred the pot. While they may have intended to promote a new business opportunity, the backlash suggests that authenticity remains a crucial factor for fans. As viewers await the return of RHONJ, all eyes will be on how these controversies unfold and impact Teresa and Gia’s public image.
