Gizelle Bryant may have to change her podcast’s name to “Unreasonably Problematic.”
Just one week after using a gay slur on “Reasonably Shady,” the “Real Housewives of Potomac” star is facing backlash for making an anti-Semitic comment.
Bryant cracked a controversial joke about “who’s paying” to go to Drake concerts while discussing the expensive prices for the rapper’s tickets in Monday’s episode.
“The Rubinsteins,” she told listeners, using a primarily Jewish last name. “They are paying for their little child and their friends to go.”
The Bravolebrity’s co-host and “RHOP” co-star Robyn Dixon laughed and agreed, “Right.”
Many social media users spoke out against Bryant’s anti-Semitic remark via Instagram.
“My jaw dropped,” one person wrote. “This is awful, she should not have a microphone.”
Another added, “Um, wow. Repeating tropes like this is the most insidious way of spreading antisemitism. Bye, girls.”
Others called Bryant, 52, “disgusting” and “unbelievable,” begging her and Dixon, 44, to “do better” in the future.”
Bryant has yet to respond to the backlash, and Pvnew has reached out to her rep for comment.
The controversy comes on the heels of the “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” star making headlines for using a gay slur while discussing the Jussie Smollett hate crime hoax on the April 3 episode of her podcast.

When Dixon sighed, Bryant continued, “They were supposed to scream that. These were the words that Jussie gave the [attackers] to do.”
Bravo fans also recently called Bryant a “Karen” after she requested that Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton stop speaking Spanish around her while filming “RHUGT” Season 3.
Bryant told the “Real Housewives of Miami” co-stars that she did not want to “feel left out” of their conversations.
“I have a rule,” she said in last month’s episode. “No Spanish.”
Bryant and Dixon launched their podcast in November 2021, five years after they joined the “Real Housewives” franchise.
