RHONJ’s Teresa Giudice ripped for allowing youngest daughter Audriana, 12, to ‘cake on makeup’ for dance competition

REAL Housewives fans have blasted Teresa Giudice for allowing her daughter Audriana, 12, to "cake on makeup" for her dance competition.

The Bravo star, 49, took to Instagram today to share a stunning picture of the pair ahead of the tween's performance.

But soon after the RHONJ star posted the snap, she was hit with nasty commentary about her daughter wearing make-up, despite it being the norm for dance competitions and recitals.

One troll penned: "Not to be rude, but Audriana in all her makeup looks older than you. 

"With all that makeup you're surely guiding her down a dark path at such a young age," another claimed. "Let her adult before pulling on that much war paint.

A third commented: "Adriana you would look better if you didn't cake on too much makeup."

Coming to both her and her daughter's defence, a fan penned: "She’s in a costume for dance competition. Clearly!!"

Another defended: "Don’t shame a child for their appearance, it’s says more about you than them! Troll on!";

A third follower said: "It’s stage makeup! If you see her other pictures she barely if any wears makeup. So relax! Go mess troll somewhere else

Another added: "No need to shame a beautiful child, it’s called stage makeup! She’s a dancer."
