Teresa Giudice was in rare form at the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” Season 13 reunion, Pvnew has exclusively learned.
Multiple sources tell us the last-standing series OG was “completely unhinged” and “out of control” while filming with her castmates on Thursday.
Our sources say Giudice was “nastier than ever” and “cursing” a lot and that she went so far as to call co-star Margaret Josephs a “f–king whore.”
We’re told the mother of four seemed “very unhappy” and “mad at the world” and that moderator Andy Cohen appeared “frustrated with her the entire time.”
However, one insider insists the Bravo honcho, 54, was not “any more frustrated with her than with the situation as a whole,” claiming Giudice got worked up only when the topic of her “family dynamics” came up.
“This was the first time Teresa, Melissa [Gorga] and Joe [Gorga] were gonna see each other in person,” the insider points out, emphasizing the trio’s “long history” of “deep-rooted family issues.”
The insider says Giudice acted out of a place of “hurt” but admitted that “her same energy was not necessarily matched” by her sister-in-law.
Ahead of the tense taping, Giudice, 50, admitted she was somewhat apprehensive about seeing her brother and his wife — who are close with Josephs — as their rocky relationship has reached an all-time low in recent months.
Giudice told us last week she anticipated a “very weird” and “uncomfortable situation” with the couple but confidently predicted that she would be “fine.”
“It’s my job,” the longtime Bravolebrity said.
Giudice’s rapport with the Gorgas, both 44, is expected to worsen in the upcoming final episodes of the season, which ends with them declining to attend her August 2022 wedding to Luis “Louie” Ruelas.
In a recent episode, Giudice blamed Melissa’s “daddy issues” for her estrangement from Joe, whom she feels “needs to get therapy.”
The “Standing Strong” author went on to accuse the Envy boutique owner of having her only sibling on “a leash.”
Giudice also suggested that Joe and Melissa’s daughter, Antonia Gorga, had contributed to the family rift by not attending her third oldest daughter Milania Giudice’s 16th birthday party.
But the “On Display” singer explained that Antonia had a cheer competition in Pennsylvania that day and reminded Teresa that her second oldest daughter, Gabriella Giudice, didn’t make it to her elder son Gino Gorga’s communion because of a soccer tournament.
Melissa then slammed Teresa for not asking her to be a bridesmaid, which she argued did not set “an example of what closeness is” for their kids.
“If I felt the love,” Teresa replied, “I would’ve gave [sic] it right back to you.”
As for her history with Josephs, 56, Teresa has repeatedly accused the entrepreneur of exposing Ruelas’ problematic past.
