Teresa Giudice of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is not pleased with how she was portrayed in season 12. The original housewife has been part of some iconic made-for-TV moments, but the most recent season didn't cast her in the best light. Even though Teresa was in a love bubble, it couldn't protect her from how the cameras saw her.
Without a doubt, Teresa has been integral to the main storyline in RHONJ season 12, thanks to her summer love affair with Luis Ruelas. The entire season, Teresa tried to shut down rumors about her new man even though stories had been leaked to the press. She caused a battle between herself and Margaret Josephs and left viewers slightly annoyed. Teresa has never been one to walk on eggshells with anyone in the cast, but her holier-than-thou act is getting a bit old for most who watch the show.
All told, Teresa's twelfth season as a housewife was not one of her best. Between body-shaming Margaret, calling her brother a "bit*h boy," and throwing drinks in Nashville, Teresa looked to be on the defensive. The mother of four clearly finds it hard to blame herself when she has acted badly and instead looks to place the blame on others. Teresa's lack of actions speak for themselves, which leads many viewers to stick up for Margaret. Teresa believes that she was poked by the blonde in pigtails and forced to respond.
In Teresa's opinion, Margaret is a smart woman who knows exactly what she is doing when she asks Luis questions, but to outsiders, the cast was only ever asking about what had already been revealed. There is no doubt it is hard to be Teresa's friend, as it seems it is all about blind loyalty. Teresa's lack of accountability has hindered her growth and will eventually alienate viewers. To many, Teresa was portrayed as an egotistical star which honestly wasn't too far off.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion just aired and showed there was still tension between Teresa and the other women. It didn't help that she compared herself to Snow White's mirror and twirled for Andy Cohen. There is no doubt that Teresa will continue to bring the drama in season 13. Hopefully, she will have had some time to do some soul searching to tweak a few of her personality flaws which, in the long run, will help her to be shown in a better light.
