In 2013 Gebbia signed onto the fourth edition of the Bravo reality show, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, along with fellow actress Joyce Giraud.[6] Both Gebbia and Giraud were let go from the series after season four wrapped due to the actresses “not meshing well with the other wives”.[7] Her position on the reality show landed her a spot in Lady GaGa’s music video for her 2014 single G.U.Y.[8]

At a young age, Gebbia found a passion for dance.
