‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ star Teresa Giudice storms out of interview; why?
Clearly, Teresa Giudice is not done causing controversy just yet. However, it’s for an entirely different reason than anything she’s done before: It’s because of something that she does not want to talk about for a change.
In the video below from “Access Hollywood Live,” you can see Teresa alongside her “Real Housewives of New Jersey” co-star Melissa Gorga strongly object to a question about what would happen to her family in the event that her husband Joe was deported following his time in prison. It is a hurtful situation and obviously not something that she wants to think about. Yet, at the same time she’s in somewhat of a pick here: She is a public figure, this story has been out there for many months, and she continues to put herself in the public eye by filming her show and going on various daytime programs. If she wasn’t on a show that was all about the reality of her personal life, it’d probably be a different situation.
Ultimately, Teresa and eventually Melissa walk off after calling the question rude; from there, Kit Hoover and guest host Dave Karger talk about what happened. We’re not entirely sure we’d be as giddy over a walk-off as Kit was, but we still feel like there was an easy out for Teresa if she wanted to not talk about it: Just say “we’ll cross that bridge if we come to it and move on.” Personally, we probably would not have asked it just because the odds of getting a productive answer back are so low.
Per Us Weekly, she added the following on the subject on “New York Live” later in the day:
“I’m not going to address it. It’s nobody’s business. It’s a legal matter, and I’m not addressing it. So if anybody asks me, going forward from here, I’m going to walk off … so don’t even try it. Because they’ll just make it worse. Everything that happened to me, being in the public eye, unfortunately made it worse for me. And I feel like if I wasn’t in the public eye, who knows what would have happened … Unfortunately, when I first got into this, I didn’t know all of this was going to happen, and I got into it for fun, not to be scrutinized and to be jabbed at, to be under a microscope. Like, I didn’t know anybody in Hollywood or California. I mean I grew up in Jersey! So I didn’t know about any of this. So I really got into it blindly and I was very naïve.”
