I heard she said something along the lines of “I’m not Italian”,but I think she probably meant that she wasn’t Italian-Italian…more like Italian American(if that makes any sense).
I could be wrong.
America sucks!
She’s half greek half italian. It said on her twitter that her mother is greek and her dad is italian. Its there if you keep scrolling down.
If you watch the 3rd episosde(i think) of the first season, when her and mike are working @ the shop, she is wearing a t-shirt that says 50% latina and 50% italian – just an observation I made, I could be wrong.
Soooo, just because she wears a shirt with an ethnicity saying that’s what she is? So even though I’m full Italian and wear a 100% Vietnamese t-shirt I’m Viet? No. Get real baby.
You sounds so retarded. Why would you wear a 100 % Vietnamese shirt if you’re not Vietnamese? That just makes you look stupid.
shut up
Lmao
she clearly stated ” just an observation i made, i could be wrong.” so you need to check what you read and chill
you have problems. chill out, it’s just reality tv. God, calm down.
uhm definately not !
im sure she is italian-american
I don’t think this is right. During the World Cup, she tweeted that she was supporting the nations she came from “Greece, Usa and of course-Italy” is what she said. So I’m pretty sure she’s Greek too.
Anyone else confirm this?
yes she is part greek. My best friend’s friend is her second cousin and she is greek.
southern italians and greeks cluster on genetic maps anyway
