Teresa Giudice is not a popular lady these days, especially with her close friends and family…she hasn’t spoken to some of her Real Housewives of New Jersey cast mates in almost a year. Giudice felt ‘bullied’ at the reunion, but she claims she does not hold ‘grudges.’
“I was definitely bullied. I hate defending myself, but if you have four women coming at you, of course I have to answer back. I was trying to take the high road, but there are only so many high roads you can take. And that’s what I was trying to do. I’m Italian, I’m very emotional,” she told Us. “What you see with me is what you get. I don’t lie and I think if you followed me from season one, you see who I really am. Anybody that’s watched me from season one knows me, and you can tell if I’m lying or not.”
Giudice claims she did not try to set up sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga in the recent stripper scandal.
“I think to me it’s pretty black and white. I think I was set up. I think Melissa’s trying to play the victim. Hello! I think I was set up.why would I set her up? What would I get out of it? She’s already married to my brother, they have three kids, I can’t get her out of my life. Once you have kids, that’s it. What would I gain from it? Why would I want to set her up?”
Giudice says her former friend Jacqueline Laurita is now texting and harassing her, but she does not hold grudges.
“This whole year we haven’t spoken,” Giudice told Us. “I’m at a really good place right now and I’ve moved on . . . She always seems to text me these crazy texts. Leave me alone. I got a text the other night at one o’clock in the morning. . . it brought chills up and down my spine.
(Laurita Tweeted on Wednesday after Giudice’s TV appearance: “Teresa shouldn’t go on TV to say I’m threatening her unless she wants a defamation suit against her. I’ve tried to get her to stop and she doesn’t. Let’s make a deal @teresa_giudice I won’t interfere in your life if you’ll stop interfering in mine. Let’s keep each other’s name out of our mouths.”
“This is my thing,” Giudice added Thursday, “I don’t hold grudges, meaning Ill always forgive, but I’ll never forget. Like if I see her, of course I’ll be cordial, but I’ll never forget. That’s how I am.”
