As the 14th season comes to an end following a cast divide, disappointing ratings, and a canceled reunion, Teresa, 52, who faced claims of planting stories earlier this year, is being accused of hunting out negative information about the cast with the help of her lawyer and her fans.
Just days after Jennifer Aydin, 47, admitted on Watch What Happens Live that “everybody talks to bloggers” and that “nobody is innocent,” the RHONJ Tea Bee claimed that Teresa reached out to them last October.
“[Teresa] told me that [her attorney] Jim Leonard found an article from 2008 about John Fuda. She told me to pull it up on newspapers.com. I looked but couldn’t find it so I texted her what I did find,” Gabriela, the woman behind the account, alleged. “Teresa then calls me and says make sure you type D’Atria not Fuda. Teresa said send it to Diana Cooper (the U.S. Sun reporter) so she could leak it before the cast trip but I couldn’t find the article. Teresa then states never mind, Jim said I’m taking it to the reunion.”
After Teresa was allegedly unable to get the information she needed about John before their cast trip, she was again shot down by the news that she would not be able to take aim at John at the reunion. In fact, she expressed disappointment when she appeared on WWHL last month, saying she had planned to expose John.
“Too bad we weren’t having a reunion because I was gonna bring an envelope and I was gonna take something out of the envelope,” she revealed.
Continuing on, Gabriela said that after Teresa and her castmates filmed the alternative reunion days ago, one of Teresa’s fans, a “Tre-hugger,” leaked the article Teresa allegedly intended to expose.
“It’s obvious Teresa and her camp are still working with bloggers to slander cast members,” she stated. “Andy Cohen, no lessons were learned here. They just continue to lie.”
Along with her post, Gabriela included a text message stream in which she was seen telling Teresa that the only thing she found on John was his name change and that she couldn’t find anything about a “home invasion.”
She also posted the apparent article in question, which seemingly mentioned John, under the name Jonathan D’Atria, and tied him to a 2018 incident in which he was seemingly arrested on suspicion of robbery, theft, and unlawful possession of a handgun.
As RHONJ fans may have seen, Andy spoke out against cast leaks earlier this week on his Radio Andy series on SiriusXM.
“What I don’t like [is] the amount of leaks,” he shared. “There’s a lot of screenshots coming out from a lot of the castmates, and I think Teresa’s lawyer is somehow involved … And when it gets into all of this other mishegoss, that’s when … we kind of lose the plot, and I think that’s partially where we are in New Jersey, which is why we need to figure out a new direction.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
