Teresa Giudice announced her new podcast, Turning the Tables by Teresa Giudice, on Instagram on Monday, prompting her fans and followers to wonder what happened to her former Namaste B$tches co-host, Melissa Pfeister.
After the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 52, revealed she would be hosting her own show, with guest appearances from family members including husband Luis Ruelas, 50, and daughter Milania Giudice, 18, her online audience began asking questions about Melissa, who hosted Namaste B$tches with Teresa up until the podcast seemingly concluded in April.
“I’m so excited for my new podcast, ‘Turning The Tables!’ It comes out this Wednesday, guys! It’s time to see the real me! Please rate, review, and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts,” Teresa wrote in the caption of her June 10 post on Instagram.
Then, in a video, she added, “Hi guys, I want to introduce you to my new podcast. It’s ‘Turning the Tables by Teresa Giudice.’ I’m super excited about it. Please rate, review, and subscribe and I can’t wait to continue this journey with you guys. We’re gonna have so much fun. Love, love, love you guys!”
After sharing the post, Teresa was met with inquiries from her fans and followers, one of whom asked, “So no more of the other podcast she had with Melissa? I don’t see that when I scroll on my Instagram anymore.”
“I was wondering the same thing!” another replied.
Someone else suspected that Teresa and Melissa had suffered a falling out, prompted by an alleged encounter Melissa had with Luis at BravoCon last November.
“Louie screamed at her while at BravoCon. She said eff u!” the person stated.
But according to another Instagram user, Teresa and Melissa are in a good place.
“They are friends… she is pregnant,” they wrote, giving a nod to Melissa being pregnant with her third child.
Another fan claimed that there was some drama behind the scenes involving Melissa allegedly talking fan pages that don’t like Teresa.
A source however tells Reality Blurb that Melissa simply chose to step back from the podcast due to having a rough pregnancy.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
