Real Housewives Star Denies Trolling Allegations
Hailey Glassman, one of the newest stars joining the cast of The Real Housewives of New York City, is firmly defending her reputation after becoming entangled in controversy shortly after her casting announcement. The publicist has found herself at the centre of a heated dispute with influencer Claudia Oshry, who publicly accused Glassman of being a persistent online troll.
Influencer Accusations and Screenshot Evidence
Claudia Oshry, widely known by her online persona Girl With No Job, made serious allegations against the incoming Bravolebrity. Oshry claimed that Glassman had been trolling her consistently since 2017, sharing screenshots of private messages as evidence. The 31-year-old influencer posted these images, which purportedly showed Glassman commenting on Oshry's weight and mocking her voice over nearly a decade.
"She has been a troll of mine, like a deep internet troll, since 2017," Oshry stated before revealing the alleged messages. One of the earliest communications from Glassman reportedly read, "Omg your voice is so annoying. Like Janice from Friends."
Glassman's Firm Defense and Counterarguments
In response to these allegations, Glassman's representative provided an exclusive statement to The Daily Mail, vehemently denying any trolling behaviour. The representative asserted that Glassman was merely engaging with Oshry's provocative content rather than harassing her.
"Hailey's responses were in no way 'trolling' she was simply engaging with Claudia's provocative content," the representative insisted. "Ms Glassman responded to her posts appropriately even sending a sweet Mazel Tov for the birth of her child and offering sound advice to be respectful of her young followers when she seemed to be dishonest regarding the use of weight loss drugs."
Weight-Related Comments and Plastic Surgery Advice
The screenshots shared by Oshry revealed numerous messages focusing on her physical appearance and weight loss journey. Glassman allegedly commented, "Damn you were thin!" in response to an Instagram Story, followed by remarks like "Skinny Minnie now" and advice about transparency regarding weight loss medications.
In one particularly detailed message, Glassman wrote, "Looks great but you gotta own you're on wegovy. You're an influencer and you really should be honest on your platform about it. When you need any skin tightening since you def lost enough to need it, I'll set you up with a great plastic surgeon in NYC." Oshry clarified she was actually using Ozempic rather than Wegovy.
Glassman's representative highlighted her background, noting, "Ms Glassman is the daughter of a very respected and prominent Plastic surgeon who offered her plastic surgery advice to an outspoken influencer who posts non stop about her weight."
Broader Context and Past Controversies
The representative's statement also referenced Oshry's own controversial history, pointing out that the influencer had previously apologized for bullying and racist comments. "For an influencer who had to apologize for her bullying and racist comments, even losing her podcast for racism, it's unfortunate she feels the need to attack Ms. Glassman," the representative stated.
This refers to 2018 when Oshry's podcast The Morning Breath was cancelled after her past anti-Muslim tweets surfaced publicly.
Mixed Messages and Social Media Reaction
Interestingly, the alleged messages from Glassman weren't exclusively critical. She also extended congratulations when Oshry announced her pregnancy, writing "Mazel tov!" and later wishing her a Happy Mother's Day. However, Glassman's representative made clear that despite these positive interactions, Glassman stands by her criticism of Oshry's voice.
On social media platforms, several fans came to Glassman's defense following the allegations, creating divided opinions among followers of both women.
Background of the New Reality Star
Hailey Glassman brings a notable background to the Real Housewives franchise. She is a public relations professional whose father, Dr. Lawrence Glassman, is a prominent plastic surgeon who performed a tummy tuck on Kate Gosselin after she gave birth to sextuplets. Glassman also previously dated Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Jon Gosselin, adding to her reality television connections.
As this controversy unfolds just as Glassman joins the popular reality series, it highlights the complex dynamics between public figures in the age of social media and reality television fame.
