Teresa Giudice accused her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, of being thirsty and concocting “fake” storylines on Real Housewives of New Jersey. Teresa also claimed her brother, Joe Gorga, did certain things to “stay relevant,” and she seemingly shaded the couple’s rumored casting on Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition.
For many years, Teresa has feuded with her brother and his wife, Melissa, who allegedly joined the show behind her back. In the latest season, Teresa barely even filmed with them, and the show is now on pause.
“What’s one storyline on Real Housewives of New Jersey that was totally made up for camera?” asked her daughter, Gia Giudice, on her new Casual Chaos podcast.
“You should ask Melissa,” Teresa answered. “A lot of her storylines were fake. Yeah, hello?”
Gia then asked, “Who’s the most thirsty Real Housewife of New Jersey?”
“My god, really? If you’re asking me, this is all [Melissa],” said Teresa. “They go to every f**king opening of an envelope. I mean … it’s so clear as day.”
Gia also asked her mom if she ever considered walking away from the show “for good.”
“I think if [Joe Giudice] would have told me not to do this show anymore, I would have been fine with not doing it,” she said, alluding to her ex-husband, who was deported after getting convicted for fraud. “I feel so guilty for him that my world did this to him.”
“And now I know why my brother did what he did,” said Teresa cryptically. “He did it just to stay relevant on TV.”
Gia added, “I feel like he hasn’t told the truth the entire time he’s been on Real Housewives.”
On her own Turning The Tables podcast, Teresa said she “heard about” the upcoming Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition amid rumors that Melissa and Joe were cast.
“I remember that show growing up,” she said. “I used to watch that when I was living at home … That’s just something I would never do. No. Yeah, I just would not do that … [but] I’m sure it’ll be a good show.”
Her co-host added, “Usually, it turned out that the husbands and kids [found] new respect for their mom, and realized how much [she does] on a regular basis.”
“But my family knows that already,” said Teresa. “So I don’t need to do Wife Swap.”
