Teresa Giudice believes the hecklers she faced at BravoCon were actually paid to be there.
As the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member, 51, made the claim on her podcast, Tamra Judge, 56, clapped back at her “sugar mama” claims and suggestion that she doesn’t speak to her family before sharing pics from a friendly outing with Teresa’s estranged sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, 44.
“Keep talking,” the Real Housewives of Orange County star wrote in the caption of a November 10 slideshow, which included photos of her and Melissa at Lisa Vanderpump‘s Vanderpump Cocktail Garden in Las Vegas.
As fans may have seen, Tamra shaded Teresa’s husband, Luis Ruelas, 48, at BravoCon by naming him as the “worst house husband,” which prompted Teresa to speak out against her on her podcast, Namaste B$tches.
“Isn’t she the sugar mama for him? And I think maybe he’s getting tired of her and maybe that’s why she’s like, acting up. Because she’s older than him right? She’s a sugar mama. She bought the gym so he could run it because he was a trainer? This is what I’ve heard,” Teresa noted.
“She doesn’t even talk to her own family. She doesn’t. She’s just a miserable person and if you’re miserable, be miserable where you’re from in Orange County and stay there,” she added.
Following the episode, Tamra took to Instagram to share her reaction to the digs.
“She’s dumb as a box of rocks … We own a [multi-million] dollar CBD company [and] we opened CUT Fitness together while he was still running a law firm. We do things the legal and ethical way in life [namaste b*tch] … The best part is she said I don’t speak to my family … I speak to everyone in my family unlike her. If you’re gonna come for me at least get your facts straight,” Tamra wrote, adding a hashtag for “bring on the bots.”
Meanwhile, on another episode of Namaste B$tches, via Instagram, Teresa reacted to the boos she received as she declared the “chapter’s closed” with brother Joe Gorga.
“I heard that there [were] paid hecklers to come. That was put out there that people were going around, offering people money to come [heckle]. It’s crazy. But I have to say BravoCon was amazing to us. They said they went on right when the tickets went on sale for a picture with Luis and I and it was sold out like immediately.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime early next year.
