Andy Cohen Calls Out Teresa Giudice For Her Newfound Friendship with Jacqueline Laurita: “Joke of the Century”

Even Andy Cohen isn’t buying the newfound “friendship” between Teresa Giudice and her former co-star Jacqueline Laurita. During the final part of the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion, the Bravo boss called out Teresa for “suddenly stanning” her frenemy.

In the previous two reunions, Teresa — who made amends with Jacqueline back in February — accused Melissa Gorga and Joe Gorga of being responsible for sending her and her ex-husband Joe Giudice to jail for tax fraud. Her source? Jacqueline.

According to the former reality star, Melissa and Joe were allegedly hanging out with Joe Giudice’s ex-business partner, whom they believe ratted them out to the FBI.

When Joe slammed her accusations as “ridiculous,” Teresa noted that “Jacqueline has no reason to lie” — which baffled Andy as much as the rest of us.

“You, like, suddenly stanning for Jacqueline is like the joke of the century. I’m sorry. After you talking shit about her for 10 years?” he chimed in, while Teresa fired back, “I didn’t talk shit about her!”

The moderator rolled his eyes, telling the reality star, “Teresa. Roll the tape! I mean we can play a 20-minute montage here.”

And that’s just what they did.

The show cut to a multitude of clips showing Teresa hurling insults at Jacqueline — who starred on the hit Bravo series from 2009 until 2014, before briefly returning in 2017 for the show’s seventh season. The Namaste B$tches podcaster referred to her friend as a “disgusting, low, dirty bitch,” amongst other things.

When Jacqueline was last mentioned during the second part of the reunion, Melissa leaked a scathing text she sent their co-star Jackie Goldschneider two years ago regarding Teresa — who previously accused Jacqueline of also sending her to jail.

“I know I shouldn’t care, but her arrogance, voice and the fact she gets away with too much after being a nasty asshole bothers me,” she wrote in the lengthy message. “She is a low life trash bucket. She’s stupid, but also very calculating.”

Despite Teresa’s presumptions that her brother had something to do with her prison stint, Frank Catania — who was his attorney at the time — said that Joe “never showed up and never said a word” when he was contacted by the FBI about Joe Giudice.
