Celebs Who Can't Stand Giada De Laurentiis

Publish date: 2024-05-08

Like Lauer and Roque, Bobby Flay and Stephanie March faced rumors about de Laurentiis, which neither likely appreciated.

Page Six reported that de Laurentiis got tipsy at dinner with Flay just before announcing her divorce from Thompson in 2015. She denied being romantically involved with Flay more than once, describing him as a professional and as a platonic pal.

Flay and March announced their own divorce in 2015, leading Watch What Happen Live host Andy Cohen to ask de Laurentiis if she was involved with the chef. "We do get together on Food Network Star," she joked, before clarifying, "Well, we're very good friends. We've worked for many years together, but I don't think that's ever going to happen because I'm smarter than that." Pretty sick burn, no?

De Laurentiis previously said she didn't speak to Flay for eight months after they lost Iron Chef, calling him a "jerk" and alleging that he "half-a**ed it."

However, March reportedly isn't a fan of de Laurentiis for another reason: She allegedly believes that de Laurentiis stole her friend's man. In December 2015, a source told Page Six that March and personal trainer Jennifer Giamo were seen venting about de Laurentiis over dinner, alleging that the Food Network starlet stole Giamo's husband, TV producer Shane Farley. In fact, Giamo was overheard saying she considered bringing de Laurentiis to court in her and Farley's divorce because she believed they had an affair while she and Farley were still married.
