Teresa Giudice spoke of her brother Joe Gorga picking Margaret Josephs over her during a podcast appearance last week.
While also slamming Margaret, 57, as a “b*tch,” and noting that she should’ve gotten an apology from Joe, 50, and Melissa Gorga, 45, years ago, the 52-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star addressed Caroline Manzo‘s falling out with Dina Manzo, 52, revealed what she always tells her kids when it comes to family drama, and reacted to the potential leak of new information from one of her other family members.
“Basically, my brother picked Margaret over his own sister. That’s basically what it comes down to,” Teresa said on the February 19 episode of Undressed With Pol’ and Patrik.
According to Teresa, she believes Joe and Melissa sided with Margaret because she knows too much.
“They’re not gonna go against Margaret because she knows where all the dead bodies are, which, I don’t blame my brother for picking her because obviously, she knows a lot,” Teresa explained, proceeding to say, “I hate this b*tch,” when she was shown a pic of Margaret.
Teresa was equally as disgusted with Joe and Melissa, making it clear that they should’ve apologized to her years ago for joining RHONJ behind her back.
“They should’ve been doing that from when they came on the show. ‘I’m so sorry that I did that to you.’ Because that bothered me for a long time,” she said. “That’s why I can’t even watch the show. I don’t wanna keep talking about them because they’re out of my life. I wanna just keep it that way.”
While Caroline, 63, and Dina also experienced family drama on RHONJ, Teresa said that they kept their dirty laundry off the show.
“The Manzos don’t speak to each other either. They started the whole family thing, and they don’t speak to each other, but at least they didn’t air their dirty laundry on TV. On TV, they were good,” she shared. “With us, it was terrible. They just kept it between them.”
As she and the rest of the cast await news on season 15, Teresa made it clear she has no plans to leave the show.
“I’m the OG. I started this f*cking show so I’m gonna go back, and hopefully, Bravo will do the right thing and won’t ask certain people back,” she reasoned. “It can’t just go away. I feel like they have to bring us back, and we have to have some kind of ending, you know, I don’t feel like, not with everybody, like certain people need to come back.”
Years after her falling out with the Gorgas, Teresa is doing her best to keep her direct family intact with frequent advice to her daughters, including Gia Giudice, 24, Gabriella Giudice, 21, Milania Giudice, 19, and Audriana Giudice, 15.
“I’m like, ‘You know what? You always stick with your blood. Don’t ever let whoever you marry get between you and your sister,’” she revealed.
Also on the episodes, after the hosts suggested a family would soon come forward and reveal new information, Teresa mentioned that she doesn’t have much family in the U.S. aside from cousins Kathy Wakile, 59, and Rosie Pierri, 56.
“I have cousins in Italy and Belgium, but the only cousins I had here [were] Kathy and Rosie … And I don’t speak to them anymore because of what they did,” she explained. “And my only other family member is my brother. And that’s it. And I lost my parents.”
