Teresa Giudice Slammed By 'The Real Housewives Of New Jersey' Star Amber Marchese For Legal Troubles
Teresa Giudice and the cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey are currently filming their sixth season, and for one of the new housewives, nothing is off limits when it comes to the drama -- even the Giudice's upcoming fraud trial.
“All of the cast members have been really respectful of Teresa and Joe and the girls, but they went there,” an insider told Radar Online of Amber Marchese and her husband on Jan. 27.
“Amber’s husband owns a mortgage company and they are trying to make a name for themselves. The Marcheses feel that they are too classy for the rest of the cast members and don’t like being associated with criminals. Amber will do anything to grab attention — she has fought with every single cast member and now her husband is getting in on it," the insider claimed. "She went after Melissa [Gorga] first and now has moved onto Teresa. She knows going after the two main housewives will get her the most camera time.They try to play it off like they are too good for everyone, but they are the couple with the most issues.”
For Teresa, having her and Joe's legal issues addressed on camera was something she was trying to avoid -- and up until now, she appeared to be doing just that. With the help of a rescheduled court date, she and Joe were set to wrap production before their trial began.
“Teresa looked nervous and subdued when the topic of conversation turned to her legal drama: She tried to downplay the whole scene and not make it an issue while the cameras were rolling,” said the insider. “Teresa knows that people will try to use her legal woes to create drama and make a name for themselves. She’s desperately trying to keep control over how her pending legal trouble is portrayed on the show and thought that everyone would respect her and not discuss the legal drama.”
The insider adds, “Amber has been trash talking Teresa on camera but behind her back and she’s going to be shocked when she finds out all the bad things Amber has been saying about her and Juicy Joe behind their backs.”
Teresa and Joe are scheduled to appear in court this April, charged with 41 counts of fraud.
