Teresa Giudice Responds to Tiffany Pollard?s Accusation Regarding Luis Ruelas
During a particularly dramatic episode of Home of Villains last month, viewers witnessed the explosive confrontation between Giudice and Pollard. The clash was ignited when Victoria Larson informed Pollard about Giudice’s alleged plans to place her on the Hit List.
Enraged by Larson?s revelation, Pollard confronted Giudice, leading to a heated exchange where the reality star made disparaging remarks about Giudice?s husband, Luis Ruelas, escalating tensions between the two.
?Why did Luis really send those roses?? Pollard provocatively asked Giudice, referencing a bouquet that had arrived at their home four days earlier. ?Because he?s guilty, b! He?s been cheating on you, and each one of those roses represents how many times he?s cheated on your ass since you?ve been in here!?
?You?re disgusting!? Giudice fired back. ?What did you get? Did you receive any flowers? Are you jealous? Jealous, b? She?s so jealous. It?s absolutely hilarious!?
Giudice elaborated on the altercation during her conversation with TooFab.
?When she said that to me, I just distanced myself from her,? Giudice explained. ?For me, I don?t get along well with people who throw around false accusations. My main takeaway is that she engaged in that behavior. I?m sure she wouldn?t appreciate me saying something similar about her fiancé. So, I kept my distance from her. I think many people have told her that what she did was a really sh*y thing to do.?
Regarding how they managed to resolve their conflict, Giudice confirmed reports that Pollard ultimately apologized to her. She even approached Ruelas at the show?s premiere party to extend her apology to him in person.
?She ended up apologizing to me,? Giudice revealed. ?She said, ?I just did it for the sake of drama.? You saw what she stated. I was like, ?Oh my god.? It?s just not something I would do. Then she apologized to Louie at the premiere party. After she saw him, she was like, ?Louie, Louie, Louie, you?re so fine.? Then she ended up saying sorry to him. What else can you say to that? He, of course, was like, ?It?s okay, it?s okay.??
She added, ?It?s not a good thing; my poor husband was receiving DMs like, ?Did you cheat on Teresa?? It?s like, ?Oh please!?
According to Giudice, the fact that Ruelas allegedly received such messages from fans highlights the importance of not spreading false accusations.
?I wouldn?t do that to someone,? she told TooFab. ?But I guess she?s trying to create drama for a TV show.?
?I?m always true to myself. I don?t hit below the belt,? she added. ?If you watch Housewives, you?ll know what Teresa is about and what I really stand for. ? I?m not saying everything I do is right, but I wouldn?t put out a false accusation. I wouldn?t do that.?

Giudice Reflects on Her Unexpected Elimination from Home of Villains
Giudice?s departure from the series caught both her and the entire cast off guard. At the end of last week?s episode, after Victoria Larson was banished, the group ? Wes Bergmann, Jessie Godderz, Kandy Muse, Pollard, Safaree, and Giudice ? were instructed by host Joel McHale to rank themselves from most to least villainous.
Pollard placed herself at the top, while Giudice found herself at the bottom in the ?least villainous? slot. Then, McHale revealed it wasn?t just Larson being eliminated; it was a double banishment. Since Giudice was in the ?least villainous? position, she was surprisingly sent home. However, Godderz stood next to Giudice in the lineup, which didn?t sit well with several cast members, particularly Larsa Pippen and Pollard, who felt he should have occupied Giudice?s ?least villainous? space.
?I mean, I thought, ?What, if I have to go out, I didn?t mind going out that way,?? Giudice shared with TooFab. ?I was being true to myself. Did I feel like I should be at the end? No. I think Jessie should?ve been at the end, and I should?ve been right after him. But I wasn?t going to start fighting with Jessie. Then I figured whoever was at the end was going to be Villain of the Week. When I heard it was a double banishment, I was like, ?Okay, this is how I?m going out.? But I didn?t mind it.?
Giudice expressed that it ?felt good? to know she wasn?t voted out by her fellow contestants and that her exit was for not being a villain.
?I?m sure it?s not a great feeling to be voted out,? she reflected. ?Everyone seemed so sad when I left. I kept noticing that. Even Tiffany had my back with Jessie, saying, ?You should?ve been at the end!? Because I was just playing the game true to myself, and that?s the thing. I wasn?t going to start being a villain. If you really come for me hard, then you would?ve seen the villain come out of me. But that takes a lot for me.?
Pippen, on the other hand, stated she felt ?traumatized? by Giudice?s banishment. ?We were so excited to be roommates together; we couldn?t wait!? Giudice joked about their anticipated bonding.

Giudice Avoids Discussion About Estranged Sister-in-Law Melissa Gorga
During her interview with TooFab, Giudice compared her experience on Home of Villains to nearly two decades of her time on RHONJ and other reality television projects.
?I mean Home of Villains is just one season, so it’s extremely different,? she noted. ?The Real Housewives of New Jersey has been going on for 17 years. I just calculated how long I’ve been on New Jersey Housewives ? it?s 17 years. That?s a long time. It?s different relationships. Everyone knows what The Real Housewives of New Jersey is about. It?s very different from Dancing with the Stars, which is just one season. All those other shows are only one season. It?s fun; you do it, it?s enjoyable, and then it?s over. New Jersey Housewives, there?s a lot of years involved? a lot of history.?
When asked who from the Housewives franchise, excluding Pippen, she believed would excel on Home of Villains, Giudice named her RHONJ co-star, Jennifer Aydin.
?I think she would kill it,? she said, adding, ?I think she could be a great villain. She would do amazing.?
However, Giudice was tight-lipped when asked how she thinks her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga would perform on the show.
?I?m not answering that question,? she stated, referring to Gorga, from whom she?s been estranged for years. ?I don?t even know who that person is! Yeah, we don?t ? no contact.?
