On a new episode of the “Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa” podcast, special guest Teresa Giudice revealed that she’ll never be on screen with Melissa and Joe Gorga again. Additionally, during the episode Teresa talked about finally being able to rewatch old seasons with Melissa and Joe, and how her family handled her being in prison.
Kelly Ripa: You and Melissa, like, will we never see the two of you on camera together ever again?
Teresa Giudice: Yeah. Never again. Never Again. First of all, to me, family is so sacred. I’m all about, you’re Italian Kelly. I’m all about “The Godfather” movie. You never go against the family. I live by that. I stand by that. I’m a loyal person.
Kelly Ripa: No, but I feel like if somebody betrays your trust, you can forgive them and you can get past it, but you always know in the back of your head, this is a person that could betray my trust.
Teresa Giudice: Yeah, exactly. I mean, I did forgive ’em ’cause again, my parents were around and I didn’t want to hurt my parents. My parents were so, after the christening, the first scene, my father-
Kelly Ripa: Yeah. That was traumatic. That was really traumatic.
Teresa Giudice: My parents were so upset. They’re like, “What?” Me and my brother were best friends. We always got along. We never fought. We were really best friends until this happened. Until the show.
Kelly Ripa: Was it the show? Was it the show?
Teresa Giudice: Yes.
Kelly Ripa: So, you were close. So, even after you got married to your husband-
Teresa Giudice: Well, it was like a little jealousy about that I was on the show and they weren’t, and it’s like, “This is my thing.” You know, it’s like it would’ve been so beautiful for us to be a united front and to show America, and to show the world that instead of fighting, like to me, this is like disgraceful. I tell my daughters, I beg my daughters. I’m like, “Please always get along. That’s the only thing I only ask for is I want you four to always love each other and if somebody has something more than the other, you know, you guys enjoy it.”
Kelly Ripa: Right. Celebrate each other’s wins. Celebrate.
Teresa Giudice: Yeah. That’s what I’m saying. You should all be happy for each other and lift each other up, you know?
