The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Dolores Catania defended Teresa Giudice against cohost Tamra Judge as she shaded Teresa as a ‘fool.’ Dolores then warned, “You better stop,” and Kelly Dodd reacted.
In a recent video interview for WGN9 News, a host asked Teresa about reports that she and her husband, Luis Ruelas, face significant tax debt. The host asked, “How is it that a family doesn’t pay their taxes for years?” In response, Teresa hung up.
On Tamra’s Two Ts In A Pod podcast, with Dolores as her temporary co-host, Tamra called out the recent interview.
“Now this one I hate to even bring up because I know you’re friends with her,” said Tamra to Dolores. “But we have to get into it. Dolores, we have to.”
Tamra continued, “Teresa [was] seen getting visibly upset before ending the call while on live air.”
Dolores interjected, “I don’t blame her.”
“I think she could have handled it differently,” Tamra reacted. “The anchor, Larry, says, ‘How is it that a family doesn’t pay their taxes for years?’”
“F**k you, Larry!” said Dolores. “I think that she was so taken back.”
“What was her purpose of going on there?” questioned Tamra.
“I don’t know,” answered Dolores.
Tamra then brought up rumors that Teresa “fired everybody in her camp” because of the interview.
“I don’t know about fired,” said Dolores. “Teresa does not like somebody to try to make a fool out of her.”
“Cause she could do it all by herself,” said Tamra.
“Tamra! You better stop,” Dolores clapped back. “[You’re] talking about my friend.”
A laughing Tamra then asked, “Are you going to log off this Zoom right now? Are you going to slam your computer shut?”
In the comments, Kelly Dodd, who was Tamra’s former co-star on Real Housewives of Orange County, called Tamra “mean.”
As of now, The Real Housewives of New Jersey is on hiatus, though both Teresa and Dolores hope to eventually return next season. According to reports, the new season won’t begin filming until 2026, and the cast is still undetermined. It seems apparent, however, that many stars from season 14 won’t return.
