Teresa Giudice Discusses Her One Regret on RHONJ & If Bravo Doesn’t Ask Her Back, Plus Mean Thing Ex Joe Used to Tell Her & Being Betrayed by Blogger trucc
Teresa Giudice shared her one regret from The Real Housewives of New Jersey and explained how she’d change the show ahead of season 15 while appearing on Nick Viall‘s podcast this week.
As she also addressed the possibility of Bravo moving on without her, revealed if she’s spoken to her brother, Joe Gorga, 50, and reflected on the mean thing Joe Giudice, 53, used to tell her, Teresa, 53, shared whether their marriage would’ve lasted if he wasn’t deported, recalled being betrayed by a blogger, and more.
“The only thing I regret is when they show that mean face when I’m flipping the table,” Teresa revealed on the September 24 episode of The Viall Files. “I’m like, any time I flip a table anymore, I’m doing it with a smile on my face.”
As season 15 remains on pause amid claims of test filming, which Teresa has denied, the longtime reality star said that when it comes to the new episodes, she and her castmates have to “let the past go and move forward.”
“If you rehash anything, I don’t think you’re gonna get anywhere,” she noted.
While Teresa again said “never say never” in regard to a potential reconcilation with Joe and Melissa Gorga, 46, she seemed more open to the idea than not.
“It’s been a long time now … you know how the saying, ‘Time heals all wounds,’ that does happen in life,” she shared.
According to Teresa, her time filming Special Forces and her oldest daughter, Gia Giudice, 24, led to her change of heart.
“Gia and I had a heart-to-heart [during] Special Forces, and there’s things that she said to me and things that I promised her I would do,” she explained. “She wants me to let go of anger … so I promised her I would … so I have no problem doing that, and at this point in my life, I want to do that. And time does heal all wounds, so I’m open to that.”
Moving on to the possibility of not returning to RHONJ, Teresa said she’d be on board with whatever Bravo decides.
“If Bravo doesn’t want me back, God’s rejection is God’s protection … I would be fine with it,” she stated.
Moving on to Joe Giudice, Teresa revealed her ex-husband used to tell her that no one would want her with four children.
“My ex used to say to me, ‘You’re never gonna find someone that’s gonna want you with four kids.’ And I really thought I was never gonna find a guy that’s gonna want me with four kids cuz it’s true,” she admitted. “Four kids is a lot. I was a single mom. I had a lot on my shoulders. Joe, since he left, has not helped me at all. Everything’s on me, so it’s a lot.”
Since she and Joe share children, Teresa said she keeps their relationship “civil for the kids” as she signaled to her family’s recent visits to the Bahamas.
Then asked if she would’ve divorced Joe, even if he weren’t deported, Teresa said, “I think so.”
“Yeah … You change when you get older so maybe what you accepted when I was 27, I wouldn’t accept that when I was 37. You change, and I was very involved with my kids. I was all about my kids. I did everything. Joe didn’t do anything,” she complained. “Joe was a good husband, good dad. But I did everything. I was that kind of mom.”
Months after causing a media storm by hanging up on an interviewer who questioned her about her tax issues, Teresa said she wished she had handled the situation differently.
“I wasn’t getting flustered. I was like, ‘I don’t need to deal with this.’ I should’ve said to him, this is what I should’ve said to him: ‘Oh my God, are you asking me that cuz you just got caught cheating on your wife? Is that why you’re asking me that?’ I should’ve flipped the script,” she stated. “I was gonna do that, but I was just like, this is not even worth my time, and I just hung up.”
As RHONJ fans well know, Luis Ruelas, 50, has also had tax issues in recent years. And, because of his financial challenges, he’s faced plenty of backlash.
“This is a guy that is really good to me, he’s good to my four daughters. This guy didn’t sign up for this,” Teresa said in his defense. “And people that think he did, they don’t even know him. To know Luis is to love him. Anybody that meets Luis loves him.”
Looking back on her experience on Special Forces, Teresa denied that RHONJ prepared her for the tough challenges.
“I just think my upbringing. I’m a very strong person. I grew up with immigrant parents … My father was very strict, so was my mom. I was a tough cookie … I had a curfew till I got married,” she shared.
Also on the podcast, Teresa recalled a past relationship she had with a blogger.
“I was speaking to a blogger, but she lied. She basically lied. That’s the thing, too: Now I will never speak to anybody because this person ruined it for everyone,” she declared. “Bloggers are fans …. And this one blogger, she was, oh my God, horrible, like, putting out lies … And then finally I think her lies died out.”
As for the potential leaking of stories, Teresa said she’s never done anything to violate her Bravo contract.
“I told Bravo, I would give them my whole laptop, everything, access to my phones, so they could see I never sold any stories, I never did anything … I love proving people wrong. [And] I’ve never done anything I wasn’t supposed to do,” she added.
‘Omfg… Elsa???? She’s a well-known influencer!’ Furious Big Brother fans left fuming as THREE social media stars walk into the ‘civilian’ house on launch night – with outraged viewers raging it’s ‘basically Celebrity Big Brother in disguise’ - suong
BIG Brother viewers have been left baffled as THREE influencers headed into the house on launch night.
The civilian series kicked off its third year on ITV2, but it came packed with more 'notable' names than ever before.
Amongst this year's crop of housemates - three have already attained a huge following online.
Arguably the most notable name amongst the group is controversial TikTok influencer Elsa-Rae, 21.
The Essex girl is well-known for her three-year on-off romance with controversial internet personality, Ed Matthews.
Ed found fame for his shocking livestreams with his best pal, HSTikkyTokky.
When Elsa was romancing Ed, she appeared alongside him on social media on an almost daily basis and has now earned herself over 300,000 followers of her own accord.
Moreover, Emily Hewertson is a leading political influencer with over 160,000 fans on X - formerly Twitter.
She is also a regular political contributor on TV having appeared on news outlets such as GB News and Talk.
Meanwhile, Zelah Glasson, 25, has accumulated his own following after sharing his journey as a transgender man on TikTok.
He has amassed a steady following of over 85,000 on the platform with his lifestyle and fitness videos and regularly interacts with his fans online.
But their inclusion has ruffled some feathers with viewers who have insisted the housemates should have no prior following.
Writing online after the live launch, one fan said: "So Elsa and Emily both have big social media followings… it’s a bit like a cbbuk hybrid going on here."
Another added: "Elsa has like 300k followers on tik tok. Is big brother going to ever get the memo that we want normal folk? That Emily has also got loads of followers on here as well."
A third penned: "Big Brother were doing a little tooooo well with the casting this series i knew they’d eventually ruin it and they did by casting an influencer."
As a fourth went on to say: "Omfg… Elsa????? She’s a well known influencer why’s she on the normal version."
It is not the first time Big Brother has cast notable people - with the final Channel 5 years often featuring notable names.
In the 2016 series of Big Brother - the house was jam-packed with stars and minor TV celebs.
The Valleys breakout star Lateysha Grace was picked to be a civilian housemate despite having over a million followers and having had her own autobiography and fashion line.
She was joined by The X Factor contestant Ryan Ruckledge and one of Justin Bieber's notorious 2016 party girls, Laura Carter.
BBC newsreader Andy West, Judge Geordie star Alex Cannon, and model Jackson Blyton were also among the cast of that year, as was Andrew Tate, who went on to develop a controversial online following.
In 2017, THREE stars of Ex On The Beach entered - Chanelle McCleary, Kieran Lee and Kayleigh Morris - as well as Ibiza Weekender star, Ellie Young.
