Teresa Giudice hinted at what “wasn’t shown” regarding the legal case that led to her prison sentence with ex-husband Joe Giudice, as her daughter, Gia Giudice, addressed “editing cuts.” The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum also shared how she’s changed since season one.
Back in 2014, Teresa went to prison after pleading guilty to fraud. Her then-husband Joe also went to prison after Teresa’s release. At that point, Teresa immediately resumed filming for the show, which had paused in her absence.
Speaking on her daughter Gia’s new podcast, Casual Chaos, Teresa reflected on the legal battle.
“A lot of the fans don’t understand everything because a lot of it wasn’t shown,” she said.
“It’s very hard,” Gia added. “It was a very long case. A lot of crazy things happened. It was very complex – and again, you know, [there were] editing cuts, things like that.”
Teresa continued, “So that’s why the fans don’t understand it all — because a lot of it was cut out.”
Teresa then shared an update with Jacqueline Laurita, with whom she recently reconciled.
“Jackie and I are actually becoming really good friends. Like, not a joke. Like, I really like her,” she said. “[In the past] she had people in her ear — and she admits it now. She’s like, ‘I’m so sorry.’ And I’m like, ‘It’s okay.’ And listen, I’m okay with Jackie doing what she did — because I hurt Jackie.”
Teresa then addressed how she’s different from “season-one Teresa.”
“Teresa from season would react really quick,” she said. “Now … I move at a slower pace. I was just a very heated Italian person [back then]. I would get pissed off right away. I mean, sometimes it took me a few times till I got to that breaking point, but I would fire my mouth off really quick.”
Teresa said Gia and Milania are the daughters “most like me.”
Gia disagreed, saying, “I’m definitely more contained on so many levels. That’s honestly like a frickin’ insult.”
“Alright,” said Teresa. “So Milania is the most like me — you’re second.”
“On a very dimmed-down level,” said Gia.
Her mom then pointed out how Gia told someone to ‘shut the f**k up’ in the trailer of her new show, Next Gen NYC.
“That was literally one time!” Gia responded.
