The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 aired a brand new episode this week on Bravo. The segment started with the continuation of Teresa and John's conversation as they tried to hash out their differences but ended up getting into another argument.
While John and Teresa clashed, they were accompanied by their partners, Rachel and Luis respectively, but they wouldn't help keep the peace either. Eventually, John Fuda walked away by telling Teresa he would call her if he needed to get money "laundered," referring to Giudice's previous felony, which included 41 counts of fraud.
Fans of the show took to social media to chime in on the debate and were torn by whose side to pick. One person wrote on X:
"This show is a JOKE! The way they’re spinning how the talk with Teresa & John went is CRAZY! #RHONJ"
"I don’t like Theresa BUT I think she did the best she could given her narcissistic personality. She was trying to apologize but minimized her words. John was pissed, the damage to his son had been done and that would be hard to forgive. He needed a heartfelt and sincere apology," a fan wrote.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 fans said Teresa had it "coming" from John.
"I’m not a Teresa hater but she had that coming from John Fuda. Claiming he has no right to challenge her lies because he’s a man is BS. I had to rewind it a couple times because that shit cracked me up. #RHONJ #TeamFuda," a fan wrote.
"Teresa really thinks people are scared of her, and her empty threats. I don’t think John or Rachel are threatened by her or looney tunes. #rhonj," another fan wrote.
"Teresa saying John is fking w the wrong Teresa guidice. Like what? What is this dark mafia sht she’s trying to say? How pathetic. Let it go. Hate in the heart. This pettiness from 50 years olds is so gross and immature. She’s acting mafia yet saying it’s John? Puhlease #RHONJ," a person wrote.
Meanwhile, some The Real Housewives of New Jersey fans supported Teresa Giudice:
"Ugh Rachel wishes she was Teresa and John out there talking about Teresa. And John using Jackie’s a apology to compare to him being a dealer in the past are not the same .Gia never was but you were. Why do they always bring up Gia. The men always do!" one person wrote.
"All Teresa asked was for John not talk in such ill way about the mother of his kid. No matter what, she still the mother of that kid #RHONJ," another person wrote.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14: Teresa and John's sit down, explored
The Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ) season 14 saw Teresa, Luis, John, and Rachel sit down to discuss their previous arguments. In the season premiere, Teresa called John the "biggest drug dealer" but during the sit-down, Teresa clarified she didn't say he was "currently" a drug dealer.
The sitdown started in the previous episode and wrapped up in the latest segment, which aired on June 16, 2024. During the conversation, John told Teresa that one of the reasons they were talking was out of respect for Teresa's brother.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa clarified that when they first met, she didn't have a problem with the Fudas but Rachel retaliated by stating she never felt Teresa wanted to be her friend. Teresa noted that she felt a connection with John, prompting him to ask what led to her calling him a drug dealer.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star said she never called him a drug dealer "currently" and apologized "if" that's what he heard. She added that she heard it from someone in his past.
"Let me redirect this conversation, I was coming here today to get an apology, I'm not really hearing that right now," John said.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 cast member stated that Teresa had no right to bring up his past and said she got her information from a "criminal who was currently in jail for manufacturing crystal meth". Teresa asked him to stop using such words since she got her information from Jaiden's mother, John's ex, but Rachel intervened and said she was the mother.
John insisted he wanted an "authentic" apology from the couple but Teresa noted he also owed Luis an apology for hurting his business. The two clashed once again and John walked away. He called Teresa a "poster child" for mortgage fraud.
After the episode aired, fans of the show took to social media to react to the segment and were divided by the sit-down. However, they praised Teresa for not wanting to talk about Jaiden's mother on camera.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 will return next week with a brand new episode on Bravo.
