RHONJ Star Teresa Giudice Says She Tried to Fix Relationship With Rachel Fuda and Shares Why It Failed, Plus if She’ll Cheer On New Cast Members if a Reboot Happens

The Real Housewives of New Jersey won’t return with new episodes for quite some time. However, despite the cast being in limbo, there’s no shortage of news emerging to hold fans over until there’s an official announcement. Recently, Teresa Giudice opened up about trying to fix things with Rachel Fuda and how she’d handle a reboot of the series that made her a star.

As fans will recall, the issues with Teresa and Rachel were on full display during the most recent season. In fact, it even kicked off with an explosive fight that even featured John Fuda calling Teresa a has been. Sadly, things didn’t improve with the two after filming ended, and there was no reunion for them to hash out their issues. 

Recently, Teresa took to her Turning the Tables podcast and discussed trying to get on better terms with her RHONJ co-star.

She said, via Entertainment Now, “I was trying to make up with her, and she just kept fighting with me. And then I felt like she was a follower because it’s like I did nothing to you.”

Teresa then added that it would have made sense for Rachel to also try to put their problems aside for the good of the show. She explained, “It’s like we’re on a TV show. Be smart like the other Housewives are. But you see how the other Housewives, they can be in the same room together.”

Of course, the two have several notable issues. However, Rachel had said that one of her biggest problems with Teresa came when she referred to John as a drug dealer and insinuated that he was currently dealing drugs. Fans will recall that Teresa called John “the biggest drug dealer in Bergen County.”

Teresa also recently opened up about the possibility of a reboot of RHONJ. Specifically, she remarked on all her family has provided to the show and how she would handle it if there was a new cast. 

She said, “If there’s another family that wants to put it out there, all the power to them. I’ll be cheering them on, and I would give them my advice. I would love that.”

Regarding the importance of families on RHONJ, Teresa explained, “I mean, it started out with the Manzos, but like I said, they didn’t air their dirty laundry out there.”

Of course, along these lines, it has also been reported recently that Bravo had a new cast in mind for the show but that they decided to weigh their options instead of moving forward with it. 

Fans can watch old episodes of RHONJ on Peacock.
