Reality show lovers have a huge amount of entertainment to sift through these days, but the Real Housewives will always reign supreme. Teresa Giudice is both loved and loathed as she can be harsh and mean to many people, but she seems to have a heart of gold at other times. It can definitely be confusing, but she's been on the series since the very start.
While fans are all about many of Teresa's actions, there are moments when she really makes no sense... which is definitely what makes watching the Real Housewives of New Jersey such a fun experience.
Supported: Teresa's Various New Ventures
Fans have seen Teresa try new ventures over the years. She published several cookbooks and started working out more and was constantly working on new things.
Some people might accuse Teresa of wanting fame and trying too many things, but fans support her desire to follow her dreams and support her family.
Didn't: Every Single Time She Was Mean To Melissa
Teresa can be funny but she tends to speak in paragraphs rather than witty one-liners, and she can also go on and on about something or someone who is upsetting her. Melissa brought sprinkle cookies once and Teresa really freaked out, throwing them out.
This was mean, plain and simple, and honestly, anytime that Teresa and Melissa fight, fans are most likely on Melissa's side. Teresa can be pretty mean to her sister-in-law.
Supported: When She Took Care Of Her Dad And Believed That Family Comes First
It was heartbreaking to hear that Teresa's father recently passed away as he was a staple on the show. He lived with Teresa for a long time and was often filmed making food for the family. Fans felt a connection to him.
Teresa was always there for her dad and a really wonderful daughter to him. She went to bat for him constantly, even asking her brother Joe why he didn't see their dad more. She didn't buy Joe's reasoning that he had to work because Teresa knows that family comes first.
Didn't: When She Flipped The Table
Teresa and Danielle aren't really cut out to be best friends. It's hard to support someone who literally flips a table... and yells "prostitution whore" at someone. The moment at the end of the first season is so well known and it will always follow Teresa around.
No matter how livid Teresa was at Danielle or how much bad blood there was between them, insulting someone like that is just too much. It was really poor behavior.
Supported: When She Went Through A Rough Time With Her Husband Away
While Teresa has a beautiful huge house, she has experienced a rocky home life for years now, as she and her husband Joe were sentenced to separate prison terms. Teresa went through a really difficult and trying time when she came home and Joe left.
Suddenly, Teresa was like a single mother to her four girls, and it was heartbreaking to watch the episodes of the show when everyone was crying and trying to just get through each day. Of course, fans supported Teresa through this.
Didn't: When She Got Mad When Friends Expressed Concern
Teresa has been on RHONJ for a decade and she can be a very private person despite her desire to be a public figure. Teresa has a history of getting mad when her friends express concern for her.
Whether Jacqueline or Melissa, Teresa doesn't want people asking about her business, and she can cut off the conversation super quickly. This is strange to watch because of course her pals care about her and what she's going through.
Supported: When Dolores Said Teresa Is Money Obsessed
In the eighth season of the show, Dolores and Teresa fight for a while because Danielle claims that Dolores said Teresa is money-obsessed.
Many fans would probably throw their support behind Teresa here, as that's not a very nice thing to say about a friend. All of the women on this Bravo franchise enjoy spending money on fancy vacations and designer clothes, so it was odd that this was even brought up.
Didn't: When She Stayed With Joe After The Way He Treated Her
Joe has called Teresa names on camera and generally acted like he didn't love her. It was rough watching the way that he continued to treat her before they each left home to serve their time.
It was tough for fans to support Teresa when she stayed with Joe despite his treatment of her.
Supported: When Rumors Flew About Her Marriage
But even though it was always clear that Joe and Teresa had some trouble, it was wrong for the other ladies to spread rumors about them. No one should talk about someone's marriage or relationship, especially not when they're going through something difficult and heartbreaking.
Fans supported Teresa and knew that she would talk about what was really going on when she was ready. Teresa recently said that he did cheat.
Didn't: When She Acted Innocent But Insulted Kathy And Rosie So Much They Don't Talk To Her Anymore
The long-standing argument between Teresa and her cousins Rosie and Kathy is famous at this point, but many fans remain in the dark about the real reasoning behind it.
To put it mildly, these two don't talk to Teresa now, and it was hard to support Teresa when she always acted like she was the innocent one in the equation.
