MONTVILLE, NEW JERSEY: The 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star has recently ditched her longtime friend Melissa Pfeister to launch her solo podcast, 'Turning the Tables'. She abruptly stopped releasing new episodes of their joint podcast, 'Namaste Bitches,' with co-host Melissa in April.

However, Melissa has recently reflected on the end of their 'Namaste Bitches' podcast and called out Teresa for her alleged lies. In a recent interview with DailyMail, Melissa said, "Regarding the podcast, people have made up some pretty terrible lies about it and me."

She further noted, "The truth is I spent over two years of my life, with two kids under six, having another podcast [Side Piece] and being a nutritionist with my own business, creating and building Namaste B$tches." Melissa also claimed that she has worked on the podcast 24/7, adding, "After all that, there is no way I would ever do anything to ruin it or go after someone."

Teresa's ex-friend said, "That's not who I am or how I roll. You can ask any of the 150-plus people I've interviewed and have an amazing relationship with." Melissa then claimed that she could give multiple reasons for stepping away from the podcast but, "that's not who I am or what I do."

Why did Melissa Pfeister step back from hosting 'Namaste Bitches'?

'Namaste Bitches' co-host Melissa Pfeister revealed that she was pregnant when she stepped away from hosting the podcast. She shared with the outlet, "I'm pregnant and the pregnancy has been very difficult so with all that, it was time for a break from Namaste."

Melissa has previously revealed that she'd suffered her third miscarriage during Bravocon last November. She took to her social media and shared, "I kept the smile on my face. It was extremely hard too as most had their spouse or significant other, friends or family... I was there by myself."
