Teresa Giudice is ready to throw some major shade—and you can bet she’s doing it with a perfectly arched eyebrow and some classic Jersey flair. The 52-year-old “Real Housewives of New Jersey” legend has beef, and it’s not the kind you grill at a family BBQ. Nope, it’s with the notorious Anna Delvey, the 33-year-old con artist who strutted her way from scamming New York’s elite straight into Dancing With the Stars. Because why not? If you’re gonna hustle millions, you might as well cha-cha while doing it.
Teresa, who’s never been shy about airing grievances (or flipping tables), told E! News exactly why she’s not on Team Delvey. And oh, it’s juicy. According to Teresa, the issue is as simple as Anna’s… citizenship status? Wait, what?
“Because she went to prison, she was committed of a crime,” Teresa said, adding with a dramatic pause, “and she’s an immigrant and she’s still in this country.”
Okay, let’s pause for a moment to unpack this. First, “committed of a crime” sounds like something a judge says after binge-watching a bit too much reality TV. But hey, we get it, prison is a vibe, and Teresa’s been there, done that, got the mugshot. But the real kicker is Teresa’s confusion about why Anna’s still prancing around the States.
Let’s not forget: Teresa’s ex, Joe Giudice, wasn’t so lucky. In 2019, after both Teresa and Joe served their respective time for fraud (because why stop at just one family member?), Joe was given the boot back to Italy. Teresa clearly still feels some type of way about this. “I disagree with that because my ex-husband got deported,” she continued, as if Joe’s one-way ticket to pasta land was a personal betrayal by immigration officials everywhere.
But what really grinds Teresa’s gears? The fact that Anna Delvey, of all people, is still sipping lattes on U.S. soil. “So why is she still here?” Teresa wonders aloud, as if expecting Anna to parachute out of the country mid-episode of Dancing With the Stars. “My ex-husband couldn’t even get out of jail and come home and wait until he got deported,” Teresa added, clearly upset that Joe didn’t get a layover in Jersey before his Roman holiday.
And just when you thought this was a rivalry for the ages, Teresa shuts down the possibility of having Anna join her in the upcoming season of House of Villains. Because why settle for a fake heiress when you can have a Bravo star with real-life sass? Teresa made it clear that if she’s going into battle, she’s bringing Kenya Moore with her. “She’s always had my back,” Teresa said, with the kind of loyalty usually reserved for childhood besties or your favorite nail tech. “I would want her to be on my team and we could take everyone else down,” she concluded, already mentally preparing for the takedown of anyone who dares cross their villainous path.
Teresa Giudice, still salty about Joe’s deportation, unimpressed with Anna Delvey’s ongoing American residency, and fully ready to assemble an all-star villain squad. And don’t forget: House of Villains Season 2 kicks off with a supersized 75-minute episode on October 9 at 10 p.m. ET. Because sometimes, you need more than an hour to watch reality stars one-up each other in the game of life—or at least the game of who can throw shade the hardest.
