RHONJ Stars Clash Over Teresa Giudice’s $3M Tax Debt, Friendship Ends

Teresa Giudice, star of Real Housewives of New Jersey, has criticized season 14 of the show as "toxic" and lacking comedy, expressing that the on-camera Teresa differs significantly from her off-camera self, who is fun and funny among friends. Teresa has been at the center of intense conflicts on the show, particularly involving her relationship with husband Luis Ruelas, with whom she reportedly owes over $3 million in New Jersey state taxes. Castmate Margaret Josephs has publicly suggested Teresa needs "crisis PR" to manage the financial issues and criticized Luis as a negative influence, while also stating that their friendship has ended following a fallout last season. Despite the tension, Margaret expressed sympathy for Teresa’s situation, hoping she recovers from her financial difficulties. Teresa has acknowledged her tax issues publicly, stating she is not avoiding responsibility and has made changes to her team to address the matter. Meanwhile, Teresa recently showcased a different side of herself by energetically dancing on stage with Whitney Rose during a live performance in Sydney, Australia.
