Teresa Giudice shared when she last saw her brother, Joe Gorga, on Nick Viall‘s podcast on Wednesday.
As she also discussed BravoCon, claimed to have been “iced out” by Melissa Gorga, 46, and Margaret Josephs, 58, on Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14, and accused her castmates of hiring bots, Teresa, 53, revealed what she dislikes about reality TV, explained why she turned down Traitors, and more.
“I went to a charity event last year … [for] Nephcure … Andy Cohen, he was there because he gave the award to someone, one of the executives that was on the board, and we were all there. My brother was there. I was there. We sat at different tables, but we were both there,” she shared on the September 24 episode of The Viall Files.
According to Teresa, she has “no problem” being in the same room as Joe, 50, even when it comes to their upcoming appearances at BravoCon.
“[Bravo is] putting me in a different hotel, [but] I didn’t ask them to do that,” she revealed. “I feel bad for Bravo to even do that. It’s like, whatever, I don’t even care.”
While Teresa and Joe will be kept separate, Teresa said she believes her daughter, Gia Giudice, 24, will be at the same hotel as the Gorgas.
“I said to Gia, ‘If you see them, say hi to them,’” she noted.
“They’re the ones, [Melissa] and Margaret were trying to ice me out last season,” Teresa continued. “Every time I went into a scene, they would remove themselves from the scene. It was like, so funny.”
Looking back at season 14, Teresa said that Melissa and Margaret’s behavior resulted in the series’ pause.
“That’s what you get. That’s why the show went on pause for a year and a half. It’s an ensemble cast. You can’t refuse … That’s when shows get put on pause — [when] the network doesn’t know what to do,” she explained, proceeding to accuse her co-stars of “abso-f*cking-lutely” hiring bots to attack her on social media.
As for who she was referring to, Teresa didn’t name names, instead saying it was the “people [she doesn’t] get along with.”
Despite her issues with her castmates, Teresa confirmed she would be willing to film with the season 14 cast if they’re all asked to return.
“I’m the OG. Yes,” she stated.
Moving on to what she doesn’t like about reality TV, Teresa said she dislikes “the lies that are put out there.”
“When people say lies, that’s hurtful because that could hurt people … So that’s the part that I don’t like about reality TV,” she reasoned. “Unfortunately, people do put lies out there, and that’s sad.”
Then, asked about why she didn’t sign on for The Traitors, Teresa said she was too busy with other projects.
“I couldn’t do it because then I was doing [Special Forces] and I did House of Villains,” she shared, adding that she would love to appear on a future season.
Also on the podcast, after being asked which househusband she disliked the most, Teresa named Rachel Fuda‘s husband, John Fuda.
“He’s such a liar,” she declared. “They put those lies out, that my husband [Luis Ruelas] went to go contact his ex-girlfriend, for what reason? That was the most asinine thing ever. And then he brought an envelope to the reunion.”
“What, do you think you are some mafia guy?” she asked. “It’s so laughable.”
