Real Housewives of New Jersey's Teresa Giudice Speaks Up About Her Tumultuous Marriage
Teresa Giudice has had her fair share of marital problems.
Her husband Joe put the Giudice family into bankruptcy, he was charged with a DUI, and in the most recent "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" episode, Teresa could add verbal abuse to that list.
"I felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach," Teresa told In Touch magazine. "I was humiliated."
On Sunday's episode, Joe left fellow Housewife Caroline Manzo's 50th birthday celebration to call another woman. Then, when Teresa went looking for him, her husband of 10 years called her a "b*tch" and a "c**t" to the woman on the other line. During the episode he said he had to take a "work call."
"I can't defend him on this. I'm hurt by him and disappointed by him," she said.
During the "work call," -- Teresa still believes it was with someone from the New Jersey pizzeria - Joe whispered to the other woman "What are you doing right now?" and "Don't even tell me that."
Teresa did, however, tell In Touch magazine, "I am not stupid." She claimed that if he ever humiliated her like this again, "I will not be with him. I will totally leave him."
The reality star and New York Times bestselling author forced Joe to watch the clip and after he saw it, Teresa claimed: "He was so ashamed and embarrassed. He was like, 'I can't believe I ever said that.'"
After days of media attention, Teresa broke her silence over Twitter. "I'm sure you've all heard about this week's new episode by now...I'm not happy about it but I signed up to be on a TV show...warts & all...You all know I'm a loyal person & I'm a loyal employee too. Press=ratings. :( "
Teresa, then linked to the In Touch article, and wrote, "So, this is hopefully my only interview about this and it's from the heart."
Her final tweet about the subject was: "Thanks you for sticking with me 'for better or for worse.' Hopefully, you find some hope in watching our lives. I get great hope from U all!"
