And then my nephew comes over to my house and goes, ‘Did you see the boxes were ordered?’ I go, ‘What boxes?’ He goes, ‘Your sister had a photo shoot with her and the girls, and they called it Skinny Pizza or something like that.'”
Soon after, Joe alleged that Teresa asked him, "Did you put the f–king money up?” to which he replied, "What? You think I couldn’t put $200,000 up? ... It was my f***ing idea!”
