Fans were left stunned as she explained how she leveraged her student loan eligibility to secure the massive amount, which she claims was &#8220;necessary&#8221; to maintain a shared apartment with her boyfriend in a luxury high-rise. &#8220;I just felt like it was the right thing to do at the time,&#8221; Gia said, brushing off concerns. &#8220;It\u2019s not like I\u2019m going to use the degree right away anyway.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-717-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-717-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-717-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-717-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-717.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The admission has sparked outrage and disbelief online, with many questioning the young reality star\u2019s priorities. Critics were quick to point out that this decision seemed rash and short-sighted, accusing Gia of prioritizing temporary comfort over long-term stability. One Twitter user wrote: &#8220;Mortgaging your education for rent?! This is why financial literacy needs to be taught in schools.&#8221; Another added, &#8220;Gia\u2019s making Teresa look like the responsible one, and that\u2019s saying a lot.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-718-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-718-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-718-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-718-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-718-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-718-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-718.png 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Gia\u2019s supporters were just as vocal, defending her choice and applauding her independence. &#8220;She\u2019s young and in love \u2014 let her live her life,&#8221; one fan commented on Instagram. &#8220;If she can pay it back, what\u2019s the big deal?&#8221; Others speculated that her high-profile family might step in to help if things go south financially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-719-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10694\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-719-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-719-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-719-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-719.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding fuel to the fire, reports suggest that Gia\u2019s boyfriend, whose identity she has kept relatively private, is currently unemployed and pursuing a start-up business venture. This revelation has only heightened the backlash, with many accusing him of taking advantage of Gia\u2019s financial resources. &#8220;She deserves someone who\u2019s contributing equally,&#8221; one fan wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-720-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-720-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-720-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-720-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-720.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teresa Giudice has yet to comment on her daughter\u2019s controversial decision.
