Radio host Billy Costa described Teresa Giudice as 'the rudest person' he has 'ever interviewed' after claiming she verbally 'attacked' him on his show earlier this week.
Following their disastrous chat on Monday, which aired to a live audience, the 69-year-old Emmy Award winner described her as an 'idiot' and 'monster' on his Billy & Lisa in the Morning.
'She was easily, hands down, the rudest person I’ve ever interviewed,' he told his listeners after getting into a spat with the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, who married her second husband Luis Ruelas earlier this year.

Despite initially getting along as he asked her tackling Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott in her DirecTV commercial, their conversation took an award turn when he mentioned 11-month stint in prison in 2015.
In response to his question about whether her best-selling cookbook, Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again, focused 'a lot on the food in prison,' Giudice fired back that she didn't 'want to talk about that.'
'I don’t know if you know this, but I’m a four-time New York Times bestselling author,' the mother-of-four told Costa.

She then told the host he needed to 'be a little more namaste' shortly before her rep ended their interview.
After they ended their conversation, Costa and his co-hosts were quick to voice their confusion over her fiery reaction to a seemingly innocuous question.
One of the show’s other hosts, Justin Aguirre, then explained to viewers they were never told not to speak about her time in prison, but stayed away from other topics that were prohibited from asking.

He pointed out that they were told not to ask about her estrangement from brother Joe Gorga or backlash for wearing Balenciaga amid their latest controversy.
When listeners phoned in to share their reactions to the interview, the first caller urged the hosts not to let her negativity affect them.
Another woman said she felt 'terrible' listening to Giudice's 'uncalled' for verbal tirade.
