Nowadays, it seems all the Housewives have podcasts. Not only do they discuss the things going on with their shows, but they also cover other topics. However, one of the most popular was the Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice‘s Namaste B$tches podcast. Unfortunately, she canceled the podcast and has now cut ties with her former co-host, Melissa Pfeister. Now, there’s a bit of drama coming out about why it ended.
Today, Teresa has a new podcast called Turning the Tables. However, she hasn’t really addressed why the previous show ended. Melissa has said it was because she’s pregnant and needed to take a break but she also said there were other reasons. However, she didn’t go into detail about the situation.
Recently, the podcast Dishing Drama with Dana Wilkey dropped an episode called Teresa and Melissa’s Friendship & What Really Happened to Namaste B&tches. In the episode, the host talks about what she has heard about the podcast ending. One of the highlights is when she recalls the alleged fight Luis Ruelas had with Melissa at Bravocon. This was not only seen by attendees, but it was allegedly talked about on the Two Ts In a Pod podcast, but they later removed any mention of it.
Regarding that situation, she claims, “I know everybody’s ears are going to perk right up when they hear that because they know that Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp dropped a podcast, Two T’s in the Pod, from Bravocon. And oh my gosh, it stirred so much because they witnessed Luis Ruelas yelling at Melissa Pfeister and Melissa Pfeister crying. They dropped the show.”
Dana continues, “Suddenly the show is yanked and that part is removed. It’s re-uploaded to their server for everybody to hear. There’s a big change that happens, but too late everybody heard it and people at Bravocon saw it because they were walking by Louis yelling at Melissa and nothing is ever the same.”
Dana then questions why Melissa would deny that the argument with Luis happened at BravoCon and why she wouldn’t stand up for herself. However, the host then says she has information that it happened.
She says, “Then I heard from reliable New Jersey sources who I’m very close with. No, indeed, it did happen. And then I heard from the New Jersey fan base evidence that it happened from different people who were at Bravocon and witnessed it.“
She then talks about Melissa getting an interview with Joe Gorga and Frank Catania. She says she’s surprised by this because of Frank’s contentious relationship with Luis.
Dana says, “Well, then, out of the blue, I hear that Melissa Pfeister has gotten an interview with Frank Catania and Joe Gorga. And this has happened because Frank Catania, I think, did some sort of introduction for Melissa so that Joe Gorga would come on the show because Frank had such a good experience with Melissa Pfeister because she’s so nice.”
The host continues, “And I thought it was really funny that Frank Catania, who was very against Luis Ruelas in season 13 behind the scenes, does a flip in season 14 to be supportive and tell Teresa and Louis Ruelas that there was some sort of plan to out Luis Ruelas on a bunch of bad deeds the cast felt that he had done in season 13.”
The host then says that she believes Melissa got Frank to warn Teresa of the plan because she cares about her.
“And so they were going to do this plan to kind of out it on the reunion. And so I thought it was interesting that Frank decided to tell Luis Ruelas and Teresa Giudice this information. And to be fair, I think maybe Melissa Pfeister might have asked Frank to help Teresa with this situation because I think Melissa genuinely cares or cared about Teresa Giudice and really believed Teresa Giudice was her friend.”
She then says she is surprised by some of what she learned about the situation and decides to ask Melissa herself. She recounts the conversation by saying, “I can’t even believe my ears in some of it. And I go back to Melissa later in this process and say, is it true that this happened to you with Teresa? And Melissa says to me, no, no, it’s all lies.“
However, she then asks Kim D what happened, and Kim informs her that Melissa is trying to protect Teresa and doesn’t want to say what really happened.
Fans can listen to episodes of Dishing Drama on all podcast platforms.
