Teresa Giudice is firing back at Dolores Catania. The Real Housewives of New Jersey has been no stranger to drama, both on and off-camera. But with Season 15 on the horizon, tensions have reached a new peak, especially when Dolores Catania recently expressed her frustration over the cast’s inability to “get it together” for the upcoming season. Dolores, known for her level-headedness, vented that she had done everything possible to mend relationships but to no avail. In response, Teresa Giudice shared her candid thoughts, and her comments have certainly stirred up conversation.
On the AllAboutTRH podcast, we asked Teresa Giudice about Dolores’ Catania’s remarks, and Teresa didn’t hold back. Her response shed light on the ongoing rift between the women and touched on some sensitive topics that have played out over the years.
Teresa acknowledged that she had seen Dolores’ interview and expressed some empathy but also pointed out a glaring issue: the way the cast—and particularly the media—has treated her family over the years. “I mean, yeah, I’ve seen that,” Teresa began, before diving into a discussion about the criticism her husband, Luis Ruelas, has received over the last several seasons.
For Teresa, it seems the root of her frustration lies in the way her husband has been a focal point of the show for the past four years. “The last four years, everyone’s been making a paycheck talking about my husband, which I think was so wrong,” Teresa said, referencing the public scrutiny that Luis has faced since his relationship with Teresa began.
Teresa pointed out that if the tables were turned and Dolores were the subject of public scrutiny in the same way, she wouldn’t appreciate it. “I know she’s not talking about me. I know she’s definitely not talking about me because I know what happened to me,” Teresa explained, implying that Dolores would have reacted differently if she had been in Teresa’s shoes.
Teresa then made a specific point about Dolores’ relationship with her ex David, “I remember when Dolores was questioned about her relationship, she didn’t like that so much. So imagine – you always have to put yourself in the other person’s shoes,” Teresa said, urging listeners to consider how they would feel in her position.
While Teresa empathized with Dolores’ frustration on a basic level, she also made it clear that the ongoing drama surrounding her family is something she hasn’t been willing to overlook. Her final comment, “You’re welcome… talking about my husband… and they all got paid,” seemed to encapsulate her feelings about how the situation has played out.
Teresa’s stance seems to be that while she has been the subject of endless gossip and drama, others have benefited from it, while she and Luis have had to endure the fallout.
