Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp shaded Jennifer Aydin for exposing the Melissa Gorga cheating rumor and addressed Luis Ruelas’ use of a private investigator to find info on the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast.
On the season finale, Jennifer stayed in the background while Danielle Cabral informed Melissa of the rumor (which Jennifer shared with Danielle in a previous episode). Chaos erupted soon after, and Melissa assumed her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice was involved – though evidence suggests otherwise.
On their “Two T’s In A Pod” podcast, Tamra and Teddi threw shade at Jennifer.
“Regardless of how mad we may be at Teresa or at Margaret [Josephs] or whoever, whatever potential side you’re taking,” said Teddi, “Jen Aydin decided to bring this on camera.”
Tamra added, “If you’re just going to repeat the rumor, just do it. Stop talking about it. You’ve been talking about it for the last six episodes. Now go on your way and do your job.”
Her co-host continued the sentiment: “Go put on your big girl panties and try to out this family. You’ve decided you’re doing it, and it is what it is. You’ve obviously committed that you’re going to do it, so do it.”
Tamra also addressed Luis’ revelation that he used a private investigator to get information on the cast.
When certain costars were asked what they believed Luis discovered, the castmates denied having any knowledge.
Tamra, however, suggested this was suspicious and eventually drew a mafia comparison.
“It was like they were in the mob. ‘I don’t know. I know nothing,'” said Tamra, mimicking them in a dead-pan voice.
Teddi predicts that the cast will “wait” until “next season” before exposing Luis’ mysterious information – and said it will “ruin somebody else’s [life].”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 13 airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
