Teresa Giudice assured the world, “I’m Not A Villain” despite being cast in the second season of House of Villains.

Also, she described how she would like to see Real Housewives of New Jersey move forward.

Only when provoked …

In an interview with Page Six, the RHONJ star dished on her HoV elimination.

“I was true to myself. If I had to go out, I like the way I left the show. I don’t feel like I am a villain. I’m only a villain if you come at me. Like, I guess that’s why I got casted (lol) for the show. Everyone thinks I’m a villain because of the way I was on” RHONJ.

“It’s only if I’m attacked that I attack back. Otherwise, I’m not a villain.” She declared, “I’m not going to be nasty to someone for no reason.”

What’s next for Tre on RHONJ:

“Of course I wanna stick with it. It’s what I know. So, I definitely want to stick with it. Hopefully, we are asked back.”

“I don’t think it can keep going forward the way it was. So, I can’t wait to see what Bravo decides to do. That’s just my opinion. Obviously, they don’t listen to what I say. If they listened to what I say,” the show wouldn’t be in limbo still.

Is Tre open to newbies in the cast?

“Of course” I’d love new women in the mix. “I love new new blood.” She continued, “I love to meet new friends. I’m all about that. I think that would be fun.”

RHONJ fans may agree with Teresa on adding newbies to the cast alongside some legacy cast members. Unfortunately for Teresa, the live audience of the Two T’s In A Pod live show voted that they would rather Melissa Gorga return to the show instead of Teresa … and it was a landslide.
