Don’t forget, girlfriends, Teresa Giudice is from Paterson, New Jersey. Did you forget? Did you forget?! Bolt down the the tables and send prayers to Danielle Staub, because this “Real Housewives” star is in no mood.
Giudice stormed offset during an “Access Hollywood Live” segment with her sister-in-law fellow cast member, Melissa Gorga, after guest host Dave Karger inquired about the possibility that her husband, Joe Giudice, might face deportation after his release from prison.
“Do you worry that it’s the end of your family unit as you know it because there is all this talk that Joe could be deported since he’s an Italian citizen. Do you think about that?” Karger asked.
“Next question, please,” Giudice responded. “I don’t think that’s something you should be asking.”
Mind you, this question was floated on the couple’s own reality TV prison special, “The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Teresa Checks In,” in which Joe states that “of course” his wife would go with him if he were deported. The Giudices were sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to multiple offenses, including conspiracy to commit mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud, in 2014. Teresa was released in December, but Joe is still serving a 36-month sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution-Fort Dix in New Jersey.
“Access Hollywood” co-host Kit Hoover wouldn’t let her off that easy, however, following up with, “Well, everybody’s talking about it, and it could be a reality.”
“I think that’s really rude,” Giudice fired back.
“Okay, well it is a fact and we’re probably going to see it on the show so I don’t think that was a rude question,” Hoover said.
“No, you’re not gonna see it on the show. As a matter of fact, I’m going to leave,” the reality star said before exiting stage right to leave an uncomfortable-looking Gorga alone in the studio.
“Teresa was there to promote the new season of ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ and the paperback release of her book, not to be asked a question like the one that was posed about this being the end of her family,” her representatives explained to People after the interview.
“She politely deflected the question and asked them to move on and they didn’t, so she left. She was doing ‘Access Hollywood,’ not ‘60 Minutes’ or a sit-down with Barbara Walters. To see the host [high-fiving] at the end of the segment as if she did something worthy of a celebration was absolutely tasteless.”
