Teresa Giudice called out people who are “attacking” her and her “Real Housewives of New Jersey” castmates in a cryptic statement.
“I have been on ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ for the last 14 seasons and during that time I have seen and been a part of my fair share of drama with my cast mates,” she began in the statement shared via Instagram on Wednesday.
The OG “RHONJ” star went on to write, “What is happening off camera on social media, is absolutely disgusting and is fueled by toxic people who are not affiliated with the show or the cast and are only interested in promoting themselves by spreading their hate through false narratives and lies.”
Teresa Giudice slammed “toxic people” who “spread lies” in a cryptic Instagram post.
“What is happening off camera on social media, is absolutely disgusting and is fueled by toxic people who are not affiliated with the show or the cast,” Giudice wrote in an Instagram statement on Wednesday.
“It has affected all of us on the cast and our families. They are attacking our children, going after our businesses and they are turning something that is supposed to be entertainment into something very dark and toxic,” she continued.
Giudice, 52, then sent a call to action and urged her followers to “stop” the cycle of “hate and toxicity.”
“I am asking everyone to stop engaging any negativity towards my cast mates and all of our families. Enough is enough. Love Love Love,” she ended the statement.
The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star claimed that these unidentified people are “attacking our children” and “going after our businesses.”
“I am asking everyone to stop engaging any negativity towards my cast mates and all of our families,” she continued.
The Bravolebrity turned off the comments and simply captioned the post, “Love you all, Teresa.”
Giudice did not specify who she was talking about or what the accusations were, but fans theorized on social media that she was talking to fan bloggers who have been digging up dirt and making claims about cast members all season.
“Take Theresa [sic] out of this and it’s a very very very true statement for all of Bravo fandom these days. People, the fan base, some bloggers and podcasters have gotten out of control and it’s becoming strange. People are taking produced reality tv way too far in the real world,” one fan commented on a screenshot of the post.
The mom of four didn’t specify who she was calling out.
Giudice turned off the comments under her post, so fans took their theories to other social media pages.
“there’s a few bravo fan pages that this post should be aimed directly at…” someone cryptically wrote.
“This is spin to imply she’s not directed certain accounts to post certain things because it’s got out of hand….” another user theorized.
However, the overwhelming amount of comments were fans asking what she was “talking about” and to “explain” what is “happening on social media.”
Several fans were convinced that Giudice was referring to bloggers who share claims on social media.
However, more fans seemed confused about the whole statement.
Within minutes of Giudice sharing the puzzling message, her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga and co-star Rachel Fuda –– who have both been beefing with Giudice –– shared cryptic posts of their own.
Gorga, 45, posted a graphic of a wolf wearing a sheep’s skin with the caption, “Beware of Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing.”
“#laughable #Delusional,” she wrote over the graphic on her Instagram Story.
Melissa Gorga seemed to immediately respond to her sister-in-law’s statement with a meme about a “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing.”
Rachel Fuda chimed in with a post defining what the term “Gaslighting” means.
Fuda also mentioned “toxic” people.
“There’s nothing funnier than a hypocrite with a big mouth & a bad memory,” another one of Fuda’s Instagram Stories read.
Meanwhile, Fuda, 33, posted three separate graphics and memes all with a similar meaning –– including one that read “What Is Gaslighting?” and another that read, “me trying to explain to toxic ppl why i cant be around them.”
“There’s nothing funnier than a hypocrite with a big mouth & a bad memory,” her third graphic said.
Page Six has reached out to Giudice’s rep and Bravo for further clarification, but they haven’t returned our requests for comment.
Giudice shared the statement amid heightened tension among cast members.
The Season 14 cast even had to try a nontraditional reunion because of the feuds.
The shady statements come at a time when the cast of “RHONJ” is extremely divided. Giudice remains close friends with Jennifer Aydin and Jackie Goldschneider, while Gorga’s side consists of Fuda, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Fessler and Danielle Cabral. Dolores Catania has somehow remained a friend to everyone.
Page Six previously confirmed that Season 14 would be forgoing a traditional reunion amid half the cast not speaking to the other half of the cast.
Variety reported that Bravo instead hosted two separate parties where the respective friend groups watched and commented on the upcoming season finale.
The women gathered for a dinner during the upcoming finale that reached an all-time high level of intensity.
Dolores Catania previously told Page Six that there are “two bombs” that drop during the finale.
It’s unclear what went on at the finale dinner, but Aydin recently teased to E! News that the whole night became “very explosive.”
Catania previously told Page Six that viewers will see “two bombs at the finale” that are even “bigger” than last season when Joe Gorga and Luis Ruelas nearly fought.
“The Real Housewives of New Jersey” airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
