Teresa Giudice had a tense moment with Jeff Lewis on “Watch What Happens Live.”
The reality stars were both guests on the Bravo show’s star-studded 15th anniversary special on Sunday when Andy Cohen asked whether they had “squashed [their] beef backstage.”
While Lewis, 54, insisted that they were “good,” the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star didn’t appear to agree.
Teresa Giudice and Jeff Lewis had an awkward moment on “WWHL.”
Andy Cohen asked about the reality stars’ “beef” on Sunday
Lewis did not like being “put … on the spot.”
“He was saying sorry to me because he said something,” Giudice, 52, explained as fellow guests Phaedra Parks, Sonja Morgan, Luann de Lesseps, Porsha Williams and Jerry O’Connell looked on. “But it’s like, if you didn’t mean it, I don’t know why you said it.”
After Lewis misunderstood and claimed he “did mean” his apology, she requested he “tell everybody why [he] said sorry.”
The “Flipping Out” alum then looked to Cohen, 56, and asked why he’d been “put … on the spot.”
Giudice told him to “tell everybody why [he] said sorry” to her backstage
Lewis claimed he was not “dissing” the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star
As the Bravo exec apologized, Morgan attempted to diffuse the tension by jokingly telling Lewis to “get on [his] knees” to grovel.
“I apologize,” Lewis repeated. “I was wrong, and I apologized. I’m not dissing her.”
Although he and Giudice did not give further context into their feud, Lewis recently spoke about her estrangement from sister-in-law Melissa Gorga on the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast.
Giudice, however, disagreed
“If you didn’t mean it, I don’t know why you said it,” she quipped
When co-hosts Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp asked Lewis which of the co-stars he would fire from “RHONJ” if given the choice, he picked Giudice.
“I think I’d probably let Teresa go,” the interior designer answered.
When Mellencamp, 43, warned that he would need “luck on social media” after the diss, Lewis doubled down.
Giudice was seemingly referring to Lewis’ recent podcast comments
He said he’d fire Giudice over Melissa Gorga from “RHONJ” if given the choice
“Is that not good?” he asked. “Oh, I don’t even know. Is that a problem? I just — it’s just my opinion.”
Giudice isn’t the first Housewife Lewis has feuded with, as the SiriusXM host earned Kyle Richards’ ire in August 2023 by joking that she was a “lesbian on Ozempic.”
The duo patched things up after Lewis sent the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, 55, orchids.
