Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice inadvertently created a social media sensation with a poorly edited Instagram post intended to celebrate a fellow reality TV personality’s birthday.
Giudice, 52, shared a photo of herself and Real Housewives of Miami star Larsa Pippen to commemorate Pippen’s 50th birthday on July 6. The image featured both women in swimwear, but eagle-eyed followers quickly noticed that Giudice had cut out their figures and superimposed them onto a beach backdrop.
The botched editing job drew immediate attention from Giudice’s 2.3 million Instagram followers. Comments ranged from humorous comparisons to video conference backgrounds to playful jabs at the reality star’s photo manipulation skills.
One follower quipped, “This is the kind of beach trip I can afford!” while another suggested Giudice seek assistance from her tech-savvy daughters, writing, “Milania or Gia come help ur mom edit.”
“Loving all the comments lol,” Giudice wrote with a heart and laughing crying emoji atop the Photoshopped image of the Housewives on a table in front of a green couch.
Giudice, known for her 14-season run on The Real Housewives of New Jersey since its 2009 debut, took the criticism in stride. She reposted several fan-edited versions of the photo, showcasing herself and Pippen in various global locations, including the Great Pyramid of Egypt, London’s Buckingham Palace, and even fellow “Real Housewives” star Dorinda Medley’s Bluestone Manor.
Podcast host Christian Gray Snow joined the fun, creating a Larsa & Tre Round the World series featuring the pair in front of iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and Rio de Janeiro’s Christ the Redeemer statue. Giudice expressed her approval, commenting, “Love it” on the creative montage.
Giudice, a mother of four, continues to be a central figure in the Real Housewives franchise, currently appearing in the 14th season of the New Jersey installment.
Giudice recently went viral with her photo with Taylor Swift at Coachella.
