Next Gen NYC star Ava Dash opened up in new interviews about criticism from her costar Gia Giudice and her dad, who chastised Charlie Zakkour after his inappropriate comments.
As fans of the show know, Gia and Ava are having drama over Gia’s mom Teresa Giudice allegedly unfollowing Ava on social media.
“Before the episode came out, and before she made some comments about me recently, we were so good and in the best place,” Ava dished on her relationship with Gia to Us Weekly. “We had just gone to the Bahamas, no cameras, just a complete friend trip [with] her family there. Her nonna was making us dinner, and we had gotten to a really, really good place, which I was so happy about.”
“To hear the recent comments she’s made about me was pretty hurtful and shocking,” Ava continued. “It really took me by surprise. I’m still a little hurt about it, but I’m not gonna hold a big grudge. I’m not gonna do the same thing to her. It is what it is, I guess.”
Last month, Gia appeared on Virtual Reali-Tea and talked about Ava, branding her as “nasty.”
“It came out of nowhere, and it just seems very convenient. That’s why I thought the whole thing was very calculated because this wasn’t the first time Ava and I had seen each other,” Gia stated. “She’s very aware of her image and how she would like to be perceived. Obviously, nobody likes bad press or bad attention. But, unfortunately, that comes with this territory.”
“You could be nasty and still beautiful,” Gia added of Ava.
Ava also spoke to Decider and dished on her dad going at Charlie over the comments he made about her body.
“Oh, he was not a fan,” Ava said of her father Damon‘s reaction to Charlie’s comments. “He did have a convo with Charlie where he was like, ‘No more of that.’”
If you give him a boundary, he’ll stay within it,” she added of Charlie. “Or at least that’s my experience with him. He’s definitely cooled out a lot.”
