Teresa Giudice is getting dragged for the way her 14-year-old daughter, Audriana, dresses.
The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star took to Instagram Friday to celebrate her youngest child’s birthday, sharing a Reel containing various photos of the competitive dancer through the years.
“Happy birthday to my beautiful, smart, kind, amazing daughter! I can’t believe my last born is 14,” Giudice, 51, captioned the sweet video, which was set to the tune of Betty Who’s version of “I Love You Always Forever.”
“You impress me everyday!” the Bravolebrity went on, encouraging the blue-eyed beauty to “keep being [her] authentic self.”
“I hope this year brings you nothing but joy and happiness. I love you to the moon and back,” Giudice concluded, adding the hashtags “#happybirthday #goldenbirthday #14 #loveyou.”
Though the majority of commenters wished Audriana well and pointed out how “gorgeous” she is, several were appalled by some of the tight and revealing outfits her mother allows the teen to wear.
“She’s beautiful but doesn’t look like a 14 year old!” one critic remarked, prompting someone to reply, “More like 25.”
“Wow 14 she looks like she’s 20 something crazy,” another netizen argued, with a fourth dissenter adding, “Your daughters are all beautiful but they all look twice their age, it’s sad.”
But as one fan pointed out, “Times have changed. It doesn’t really matter [what she wears] as long as she is healthy, thriving and kind. She is a beautiful human inside and out.”
While one person agreed that “times have definitely changed,” they insisted they “would have never been allowed to dress like that at 14.”
Others highlighted the fact that Audriana has three older sisters — Gia, 22, Gabriella, 18, and Milania, 17 — and that “the youngest always tries to keep up.”
As one defender recalled, “I remember always trying to look older. No big deal she seems like a really good kid.”
Teresa shares her four daughters with her ex-husband, Joe Giudice. She married Luis “Louie” Ruelas in August 2022.
