Stars of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa Giudice and Joe Giudice have split after 20-years together. The other women of The Real Housewives show are now weighing in on the shocking split - and one that simply couldn't care less about the news.
Joe and Teresa have been featured on The Real Housewives of New Jersey since the popular Bravo show premiered back in 2009, and the couple has been married since October of 1999. Viewers saw them through all the legal trouble the couple faced after being indicted for filing a false bankruptcy report, and the pair's marital status was up in the air after Teresa served 11 months in prison and Joe served 41 months - which ended in his deportation back to Italy. Teresa and the couple's four daughters went to visit Joe in Italy after a bombshell interview with Andy Cohen where Joe and Teresa revealed that the trip would help them determine the status of their relationship, and it seems they've made a decision. An insider revealed earlier this week that the two have decided to separate, but have no intention of divorcing just yet.
The first Real Housewives star to weigh in was a co-star to Teresa and Joe, Margaret Josephs who also stars on The Real Housewives of New Jersey said that the news of the Giudice's separating was "not surprising" to her. She said on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on December 18th (via Us Weekly), "Andy, you know, we heard what she said at the last reunion. They’re making the best decisions for their family, and Joe and Teresa, you know, they’re moving on." She then said that she will be getting in touch with Teresa to see how she's doing soon. Another one of Teresa's castmates, Siggy Ficker weighed in on the news. She said, "Sad news." She sympathized, "Most knew that this day was coming. It’s a sad ending to a beautiful start." The Real Housewives of New Jersey star said, "Wishing Joe and Teresa all the health and happiness. They are both wonderful parents. Their children have suffered enough. Wishing their entire family peace and happiness."
Next, her costar Danielle Staub spoke about the split, saying "Teresa is a big girl. She has made choices that she wants to clearly stand by and in these situations, the kids always lose out." She said, "In the end, we all make decisions and they always affect our children. I myself have done that too. I feel bad for the kids, that's all. They will all remain in my prayers, Joe included." Last, but not least, there was former The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Amber Marchese, who simply could care less about the drama. She said, "Do [you] see the newspaper? Do you see what is going on in this world? For the last week, I've been fighting against the state forcing mandatory vaccinations on our kids, I don’t give a rat's *ss about people who don't pay their taxes and commit crimes." She said that she'd like to care, but at the end of the day the split doesn't surprise her, as she thinks the reality TV show is cursed, saying, "No one survives that show."
Though there are still plenty of Teresa and Joe's The Real Housewives of New Jersey costars who are sad to see their marriage end in such a way, there will always be one that could care less. Fans still hope there is some hope for the Giudice family, due to the fact that they aren't going through divorce proceeding just yet, maybe they're just taking a long break.
