‘RHONJ’: Teresa Giudice Urges People To “Stop Engaging In Any Negativity” Toward Cast And Their Families

Teresa Giudice is not standing for any social media hate.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star kicked off a statement on Instagram on Wednesday (July 24) by acknowledging her 14-season-long tenure on the show, highlighting that “during that time [she has] seen and been a part of [her] fair share of drama with [her] cast mates,” per Page Six.

“What is happening off camera on social media, is absolutely disgusting and is fueled by toxic people who are not affiliated with the show or the cast and are only interested in promoting themselves by spreading their hate through false narratives and lies,” she continued.

Giudice lamented that this has not only affected the cast, but also their families.

“They are attacking our children, going after our businesses and they are turning something that is supposed to be entertainment into something very dark and toxic,” she added. “This hate and toxicity has to stop. I am asking everyone to stop engaging in any negativity towards my cast mates and all of our families. Enough is enough.”

She concluded her post with “Love Love Love Teresa,” and reiterated in the caption, “Love you all, Teresa.”

Bravo declined comment when reached by Decider.

As noted by Page Six, while Giudice disabled comments on her post, fellow Housewives Melissa Gorga and Rachel Fuda each shared their own posts shortly after Giudice’s post went up, seemingly reacting to her statement.

Fuda, for one, shared three posts on her Instagram story, the first of which featured the definition of “gaslighting.” This was followed by a meme about “trying to explain to toxic ppl why [they] can’t be around them,” and another saying that “there’s nothing funnier than a hypocrite with a big mouth & a bad memory.”

Meanwhile, Gorga’s story post read as follows: “Beware of Wolf in Sheep’s clothing #laughable #Delusional.”

The past season of RHONJ has been plagued by even more drama, with the traditional reunion being replaced by a watch party — although the cast was reportedly split into two groups amid tensions. Andy Cohen had previously addressed this surprising move, claiming that “this will all make sense once you see the finale.” He also confirmed a future rebrand of the show on an episode of Andy Cohen Live last month.

Nonetheless, Giudice shot down speculation that she’s exiting the reality series on Live with Kelly and Mark earlier this month.

“No, I’m not leaving,” she said at the time. “I started the show. And when Bravo wants me to leave, that’s when I’ll leave.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
