RHONJ fans are patiently waiting to learn more about the show during its hiatus this fall. As rumors circulate about who could be on next season’s cast, some of the Real Housewives are going on air on their respective podcasts while the cameras are off.
Speaking on her show Turning The Tables, Teresa Giudice gives her take on “the straw that broke the camel’s back” when it comes to the ongoing feud between her and her brother, Joe Giudice. As many Real Housewives of New Jersey fans will know, the sibling feud has been going on for a decade, and as it stands, they still aren’t on speaking terms.

Teresa says she has been ‘villainous’
This year, Teresa may be taking some time off from filming RHONJ, but she’s keeping busy with other reality TV shows, including House Of Villains.
Speaking about her casting for the show, Teresa tells RHOBH’s Crystal Kung Minkoff, “Everyone is after me on my show. So it’s like I have no choice but to defend myself. I guess I look like the villain.”
Crystal calls Tre a “softie,” as the RHONJ star explains that she wasn’t sure about doing House Of Villians because she “didn’t like the name.”
“I gave it a chance…everyone who’s watching it now says ‘Oh my God, this is the Teresa we miss’ because they remember me from seasons 1 and 2 and I’m like ‘that’s who it would be.'”
There are two sides to every story and Teresa will tell hers this November. She continues, “But, unfortunately, I have all these people that… I’m the leader, I’m the OG, they want to try to come after me, tear me down, which is very sad.”
The RHONJ brothers ‘don’t talk anymore’
Giving an idea of where she and Joe are today. Teresa tells Crystal, “I don’t talk to my brother or his wife anymore.”
Crystal chimes in: “That’s so heartbreaking…” before the RHONJ OG adds: “I kept my mouth shut… there’s a lot of things I could have said over the years. Now, this has continued for more than 10 years.”
Teresa continues: “The last straw was when they didn’t come to my wedding. They were making this whole thing up like, why didn’t you put me in the wedding? I didn’t put it in because I didn’t want to. For what he’s done to me over the last 10 years. But still, keep the peace. You know what I mean? Then I said, “Okay, put it in, I tried to do the right thing.”
“But she said ‘no’ and I was like ‘Oh my God, they’re doing all this for a story… I’m tired of their shit, I’m not doing this anymore, I’m done.’ That was it. After that there is no turning back. Crystal, I gave them more than 10 years of opportunities.”
The reality TV star reflects on her best days with her brother: “While my parents were alive, there were so many things I could have said. Growing up we were like best friends. That’s all my parents wanted, for us to get along. While they were here on this Earth, I made sure we got along.”
Teresa says she tells her four daughters not to be “jealous of each other” and that she doesn’t want them to follow in her and Joe’s footsteps.
