Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice says she attempted to make amends with her castmate, Rachel Fuda, who began starring on the Bravo series in 2022.
In a December 2024 episode of her podcast, “Turning the Tables,” Giudice noted that she and Fuda were at odds throughout RHONJ season 14. According to Giudice, she wanted to stop their feud.
“I was trying to make up with her and she just kept fighting with me. And then I felt like she was a follower because it’s like I did nothing to you,” said Giudice on her podcast.
Giudice also suggested she believed it would have been in Fuda’s best interest as an RHONJ cast member to put their differences aside.
“It’s like we’re on a TV show. Be smart like the other Housewives are. But you see how the other Housewives, they can be in the same room together,” said Giudice.
Rachel Fuda Discussed Her Issues With Teresa Giudice
While speaking to Page Six in August 2024, Fuda mentioned her issues with Giudice. The publication reported that problems between the RHONJ co-stars arose after Fuda’s husband, John Fuda, alleged that Giudice’s husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, had hired private investigator Bo Dietl to look into his past. Ruelas said the claim was untrue. In addition, the Fudas were upset with Giudice for saying that John Fuda was “the biggest drug dealer in Bergen County” in RHONJ season 14, episode 1. John Fuda stated that Giudice’s claim was false.
During the Page Six interview, Fuda noted that the RHONJ cast was split into separate rooms, based on their friendships, for the RHONJ season 14 finale viewing special. Fuda referenced she was not in the same room as Giudice. She said she believes she and her castmates, Melissa Gorga, Danielle Cabral, Margaret Josephs, and Jennifer Fessler, who were in the same room “have true relationships with each other,” unlike their other co-stars. In addition, Fuda said she felt as though Jennifer Aydin and Jackie Goldschneider, who were in Giudice’s room, were basing their reactions on the “Turning the Tables” podcast host’s behavior.
“You watch the other room and it’s like, ‘OK, Teresa, what’s the narrative now? What are we going to say? What do we have to prove now?’ It’s just very manufactured now, in my opinion. … I think that’s the biggest problem. I think our show is truly lacking authenticity in its relationships and friendships,” said Fuda to Page Six.
Rachel Fuda Spoke About Her Pregnancy
Fuda and her husband shared that they are expecting another child in August 2024. As fans are aware, the couple have two daughters, Gianella, 4 and Giuliana, 2. In addition, Fuda adopted her husband’s biological son, Jaiden, 17, in 2022.
During an August 2024 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Fuda shared that she conceived through IVF (in vitro fertilization).
“We did our third IVF transfer and it was a bumpy road. It wasn’t all smooth sailing,” said Fuda to the publication.
In addition, she said the difficulty she had getting pregnant made her and her husband “realize how bad [they] wanted a baby.”
“It just made us both that more excited,” said Fuda during the Entertainment Tonight interview.
RHONJ is currently on hiatus.
