MONTVILLE, NEW JERSEY: Teresa Giudice, an original cast member of 'RHONJ', has been in the spotlight for various reasons over the years, but has faced criticism for lying on the show. Some of these incidents include falsely claiming to be a realtor and denying watching episodes of 'RHONJ'.
During the Episode 14 of 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 14, Teresa and her co-star Jackie Goldschneider sat together to discuss Margaret Josephs's shocking revelation about Luis "Louie" Ruelas.
"I'm not excited to watch the finale, but my plan today, honestly, I'm not trashing anyone. I'm not interested in adding to the toxicity," Jackie shared during the episode.
Teresa commented on Margaret revealing information about Jackie in a BravoTV interview, saying, "I already knew what they were gonna say and I didn't even flinch. Margaret let Jackie do it because at the time, Jackie was Margaret's puppet."
The Bravo housewife addressed the rumor she spread about Evan Goldschneider potentially cheating on the season premiere of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' and talked about her actions causing hurt to Jackie.
"I'm totally fine with Jackie doing that because I hurt her. I hurt her by putting out what I said about Evan. See? I'm a big girl. If I punch you, I get it, you're gonna punch me back," Teresa said.

Following their court appearance in New Jersey, Teresa and her then-husband Joe Giudice departed from the courthouse after submitting their plea of not guilty to two additional bank fraud charges. These charges were based on accusations that they submitted a fraudulent application in order to secure a mortgage loan worth $361,000.

She really is – let’s call her Cleopatra,” Tamra explained.
