‘RHONJ’ Teresa Giudice on If She’d Make Up With Kathy & Rosie
Teresa Giudice is speaking out about whether or not she’d make amends with her estranged cousins, Kathy Wakile and Rosie Pieri.
While also addressing Tamra Judge‘s ongoing shade against her, sharing why she skipped Dolores Catania‘s charity softball game, and revealing where she stands with Joe Giudice‘s family, the 52-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member confirmed whether or not she’s friends with Victoria Gotti, 61, and explained her thoughts on a reconciliation with Kathy, 58, and Rosie.
“I haven’t seen them in forever. They live their lives, I live my life, and I wish them well and I never run into them. I never see them. And that’s about it,” Teresa said on the August 22 episode of the AllAboutTHR Podcast.
Then, after being asked if she would she say “hi” to them if she saw them, Teresa confirmed she would.
“Of course, I would say hi. I have to say, I love Kathy’s kids, [Victoria Wakile and Joseph Wakile] … I watched her kids grow up. I adore her kids,” Teresa shared. “I heard her daughter got married. So happy for her. Matter of fact, I ended up seeing Joey. He was, like, a bartender in some restaurant. I saw him, and he was so sweet to me. I was happy to see him. I always had a great love for her kids. And they used to always hang out with my kids.”
Moving on to Tamra, 56, Teresa said the Real Housewives of Orange County cast member has “always got something to say about me.”
“I get it, but it’s like, I don’t talk sh*t about her. It’s like, stop, please … I usually don’t throw the first punch. I don’t,” she stated.
As for why she skipped Dolores’ charity softball game earlier this month, Teresa explained that she and Jennifer Aydin, 47, were vacationing in Turkey.
“I was in Turkey with Jennifer. Of course, I would have went. Dolores is my girl. We always support each other. I was in another country,” she explained.
Although Teresa and Joe, 52, divorced in 2020, she has remained on good terms with his family in the years since he was deported to Italy (he has since moved to the Bahamas) for charges of bank and wire fraud, which both he and Teresa spent time behind bars for.
“When Joe first left it was a little … I didn’t see them. Joe’s grandmother passed away first. We went to the wake, Luis and I, we gave our condolences, and then after that, I think it was Gia’s graduation. That was the first time that I had to see them in a social setting and it was good,” Teresa revealed. “We said ‘hi’ to them and then every single time it got easier and easier.”
“They came here for Milania’s graduation pictures. My mother-in-law came here. Joe’s sister came, and Pete came, and my sister-in-law Sheila, they all came and I was happy to see them,” Teresa continued. “They were sweet to Luis. It felt really good. I wish them all well. They’ve been nothing but amazing to the kids, and even if they don’t like me, I’ve never heard anything. They’ve never said anything negative about me and vice versa. They’re absolutely an amazing family … They’ll always have my back. They would never backstab me. Joe’s family is such an amazing family, such a strong family. They always have each other’s back. No jealousy. They’re always there for each other, which I love.”
In addition to being on good terms with the family, Teresa confirmed her four daughters always see Joe’s family on holidays. And during a recent Thanksgiving celebration, her own husband, Luis Ruelas, 50, joined in on the fun.
“We went to Joe’s sister’s house and Luis [was] sitting down eating with them. We dropped off the kids … it was cute,” she recalled. “My kids, they, since Joe left, they split holidays. They see Joe’s family all the time.”
Also on the podcast, Teresa was asked if she is still friends with Victoria.
“She was supposed to come to my wedding. She was coming home from Italy, and I don’t know if she thinks I’m mad at her because she didn’t come … And I’m not. I totally understand. I think something happened with her flight and I get it. I think her flight maybe got delayed. I love [her],” she stated.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently on hiatus ahead of its 15th season.
