Gilda Kirkpatrick on Real Housewives of Auckland, Gold Digger Reputation & Politics
Episode Description
If you watch reality TV, you may THINK you know Gilda from Real Housewives of NZ or her very short run on DWTS.
Or maybe you know of her from the gossip pages which generally label her a socialite or a gold digger. But there is so much more to Gilda Kirkpatrick than any of that. And THIS is a part of her story. Gilda as you have never heard her before.
We talk about growing up in war torn Iran before moving to New Zealand as a teenager. And how these early years and the unimaginable things she saw and experienced shaped her into the person she is today.
We discuss her stance as a c*vid anti vaxxer.
How her relationship developed with a man 40 years older than her and her thoughts on being labelled a gold digger.
Then we discuss her appearances on reality TV, her thoughts on cosmetic surgery, what life looks like in one of Auckland’s most recognizable mansions and much much more.
Gilda is a breath of fresh air with a great perspective and outlook on life and I really hope you guys enjoy this episode.
Big thanks to my sponsors Radix Nutrition. I know I go on about their protein powders and the incredible flavors – especially banana and coconut. But they are so much more than protein. From their state-of-the-art factory in the Waikato they have plans to change the world through nutrition…and since I’ve got to know the team pretty well, I have no doubt they will succeed.
Please if I could ask one favor from you, it would be give them a follow on Instagram and check out the incredible work they are up to.
If I could ask two favors from you it would be, once you follow them on Instagram, go and buy something from them! You won’t regret it. Their products are simply world class. @Radixnutrition https://radixnutrition.co.nz/
