While Teresa Giudice’s prison sentence is intriguing to some, many don’t care to watch how her family is coping on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Teresa Checks In.

“She should play up how difficult it is so that when she comes out, people want to hear what she has to say. They have the daughter (Gia) saying Teresa looks great, Joe’s saying (the jail is) basically a low budget spa, they’re delivering diamond necklaces and Tersa’s doing yoga.”

On top of that, Joe spoke with Andy Cohen on the network’s Watch What Happens Live special just hours after the special debuted. That wasn’t necessarily a good look for him or the show.

“[It] did no favors for him. Bravo can clean them up (on ‘The Real Housewives’) and make them look like good people, but when you put him on TV, he is who he is and he doesn’t take accountability.”
