Why Teresa Giudice Shouldn't Quit 'RHONJ,' Says Giuliana Rancic!

Fri, October 14, 2011 2:12pm EDT by Hollywood Life Staff 38 Comments

Giuliana tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that she thinks it would be a mistake to let Teresa leave! Read on to find out why!

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice has reportedly been accused of spreading the rumor that her co-star Melissa Gorga used to be a stripper. Because of this and Teresa’s diva behavior, her cast mates have outed her from their circle. They can’t stand all the drama that Teresa is causing — and Teresa’s said that she’s tired of being slammed. But E! News host Giuliana Rancic thinks that Teresa shouldn’t let these problems force her to quit RHONJ!

“I think that the producers should have her stick it out and try and get her to stay,” Giuliana told HollywoodLife.com exclusively at Nivea’s New Year’s Eve Kick Off Party at The Lambs Club in NYC on Oct. 13. “I like watching Teresa on the show. She’s very entertaining and the drama is great. The producers shouldn’t lose her.”

The cast’s drama is what brings in the ratings. “I really do believe that when you hit the jack pot, when you have a winning hand, why are you going to break up a winning hand?” Giuliana explains. “So you’ve got these girls who are ratings gold, why break it up? You have to do whatever it takes to keep these people together and make them happy.”

It’s a competitive market right now for reality TV shows. “Listen, bottom line is it’s really hard to have a hit show these days and especially a show that advertisers will advertise on,” reveals Giuliana. “If you can make money off of a show, you’ve hit the jack pot. Really do everything in your power to keep that winning team together.”

Giuliana’s confused as to why Bravo would fire Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon and Alex McCord from The Real Housewives of New York City. “I don’t know if The Real Housewives of NY, I don’t know what’s going to happen to them,” she says. “I thought they were great. I love Kelly, Jill and Alex. They had such an amazing chemistry — all of those girls.”

So with regards to what’s going on with the cast of RHONJ, “as far as I’m concerned — we’ve produced shows in the past — I’d say keep that crew together because they’re ratings gold.”

UPDATE: Giuliana Rancic Announced On Today Show — I Have Breast Cancer

BFFs — do you think the producers should try and keep Teresa around?

I love, love, love Giulianna! Prayers for her right now.
I agree they should keep Teresa on. As much as the other HW’s hate it, she really helped make that show huge.
I don’t know that I agree about them all being kept on. I think its been nothing but trouble.

Sorry her kids are going to grow up and hate her when they look back at what a fool there mother was acting like and she is going to be no one I’n ten years from now besides broke because she still acts like a foolish clown spending..she like to think of herself as a celebrity well that’s degrading to real celebrities because she is totally white trash. You don’t see Juliann and her hubby’s acting and talking like white trash..and she and her husband are totally scumbags look at his rap sheet I’n past 2 hrs his be cheating on her for awhile but she’s so dumb she believes anything he tells her .. Please move along to a show more at the gudices level “jersey shore”

There is no show without Teresa. Get rid of Melissa and Kathy ASAP! Caroline and Jacqueline can go too!

Yes, I support Giuliana, because if Teresa is not on the show I won’t watch New Jersey Housewives.

I don’t like Melissa and yes she copies everything for example her hair dresser and stylist. I believe that she doesn’t even care about her husband Joe. I don’t know why she is on the show.

She’s on the show because she’s copying Teresa. Also, she’s exactly what Teresa said she is … a golddigger.

ditto! The girl can’t own that she copies everything, yet here she is!

Who the hell cares what Giuliana Rancic thinks about who should stay on the show. I can’t even believe she has her own show. She is annoying herself which is probably why she likes theresa.

Team Theresa anyone?

Hell yeah!

You need to keep Theresa, she is the show. Don’t care about Caroline anymore, she reminds me of a bully. I think Jacqaueline has a lot of skeleton in her closet and she is afraid of Theresa telling the whole world, it’s best to stay away from the reunion. Only Theresa’s life is on display but i bet you all of them have a lot of bad history. Theresa hang in there, life is good.

I agree. While I have favorites and dislikes I don’t like it when Bravo splits the group up.Didn’t mind Bethanny leaving she got her own show, or Dina because she left for her own reasons. I watched all the housewives except DC and Miami couldn’t get into them. Stopped watching Atlanta when several housewives left. Don’t like the OC as much because Vicki is the only one left who was on from the beginning. Don’t think I will watch NY next year with the big shake up even though I think Sonya is quite a character.

Here’s a novel idea…CANCEL THE SHOW! And may the best character survive!

Theresa is the STAR, Point Blank. Inspite of all they say about her. I respect her for giving her hsband a gift for XMAS and finishing the 5K race. So much for calling her Selfish and a Cheat!!

Teresa IS the show…well and her beautiful little girls. they are the only reason we tune in. LOVE LOVE LOVE her! caroline…time to jump off the soap box. Outing your friend’s personal comments that she made in a moment of anger was very “mean girl” of you. You are not in HS, you are 50. You look 50….now act 50.

come on what a mean thing to say, how would you like it if your family came on television and did this to you. Were not blind we the viewers see what is going on.Caroline said it her self that she hasn’t liked Teresa for two years and look how she turned into such evil because of this.Bravo and Caroline are playing everyone for fools the cook book was not bad and was really nice to Caroline, that’s not fair bringing up Teresa s husbands finances look at Carolines husband should be in jail to he faked an address so he could serve for the city were the brownstone is located hey thtas one way to get people to come to your business fake an address and say you live at your business that way you get clients to, so she is not perfect either and Melissa and her husband are faking everyone about their so called house it does not belong to them to live in in the loan contract they were to sell it as soon as they were done building it.Why did everyone care if Teresa bought presents for her kids I would not have been empty handed to my kids no way, we even have charities that buy local kids what they want for Christmas like xboxs what they want, since they Caroline Melissa Kathy and Jac ,they all spent thousands of dollars on their families they couldn’t have flipped the bill for Teresas kids how terrible and shame on them.Gia loved Caroline and will one day be an adult and see how rude Caroline was to her family ,Caroline pretends to be so offended by the car wash comment because you dont insult her big babie,owell what about Gia Caroline your kids are adults and Teresas kids are small children.

Teresa is getting dumped on, but the others aren’t faultless by any means. It would be foolish of Bravo to let Teresa go, even when there is no drama she manages to be entertaining.

Share this comment at

I agree.Bravo will hardly post anyone who like Teresa. they are trying to take her and her family down.I really liked Caroline but not after I saw the way she pounced on Teresa , she really looked pitiful to me as she looked aged and really fake, the way Melissa looked at Caroline was like I’m just using you and when I’m done with you I’ll drop you faster then a hot potato .You can see she dosnt respect Caroline for one she talks crap about her family and stores up stuff, and she keeps telling all the things Teresa said in confidentiality and it makes her look like a worm. yeah there was a set up and it was against Teresa. without Teresa I don’t think the show will go much longer it would be boring.Andy was not a good mediator he was setting Teresa up for a fall.Bravo will hardly post if you like Teresa. Teresa watch out Bravo is just using you like Melissa is using Caroline.

it sucks how there doing teresa i mean the whole reuion show is going to be about them ganging up on her she’s gone threw alout and has relized the no one is on her sound when they needed to be and caroline crossed the line by saying that even if its true or not she know its been a stuggle on there part so shame on her idk if teresa sh!t about her then whats the point

There is no show without Teresa. Caroline and her underachieving kids are a snoozefest. The Ashley/Jacqueline drama is played out. Melissa thought appearing on the show would make her the next Beyonce or Brittney. lol As far as housewives go, she sings better than most but she is far from star quality. And Kathy thought that by bashing her cousin she could sell cookies. LOL This show showcases dysfunction at its best and removing Teresa from this group leaves nothing but a bunch of wannabes.

Yes, the show has entertaining moments, but it’s sad to see a family at war over trivial matters. It’s disgusting to read quotes from Guilliana Rancic promoting the continuation of the madness. She herself is chomping at the bit to lead the “hollywood life” while ignoring the fact that her husband, a down-to-earth midwestern man is trying to build a life with her and focus on what’s really important in life.

Teresa is the only reason I am watching the show. Can’t stand Melissa who is sleezy and Kathy who such a phony. Caroline needs to eat something, she’s cranky.

Jealous much?

no…it’s not called jealous..it’s called common sense. God blessed us with it..we should use it. :)

Teresa’s has several issues, the first being her hubby, Joe.
Joe treats/speaks to Teresa like a child and in turn she
acts out like one to others. While she may be a good mom,
she sucks as a parent. No discplinary skills regarding her
kids, they literally run the house. Teresa is hurting because of Joe and his misdeeds and so she’s reacts to
everything said about her as an attack. Her thought process
is limited to the moment. For example, who would turn a
cookbook into a slamfest and then say all the remarks were
jokes. Where was the Lucille Ball type of comedy? I don’t think she needs to leave, but she needs to stop attacking for everything that said about her that she doesn’t like. In
the real world, you have to know what battles are worth
fighting and when to just let in roll off your back. She
needs to direct her anger at the real culprit, Joe.

Do people honestly care what Guiliana RANCIC has to say? I mean really

Tre has had a rough 2 years, she is on the defensive so when anyone has anything to say, she thinks they are talking bad about her and she reacts… I think Jacqueline should apologize to her, first of all they are friends, you don’t call your friends scum and she knows of all people,
Tre doesn’t mean what she says, she is a reactor and says
stupid things to what she thinks “she is protecting herself and her family” and Jacqueline knows that Tre and Melissa do pick at each other all the time and Tre has had a very hard time and I think is going to continue to have a hard time because she is now going to have to deal with what is being said about her and Joe’s infidelity. This is when
Tre needs her friends – including Caroline. Everyone has to stop taking themselves so seriously, they are all adults
and friends – they should be able to talk to each other if
someone feels hurt or badly treated because that is what friends do – they say what is on their mind.

I feel bad for Teresa, I have a friends just like her and
we just accept her for the way she is and blow off anything she may say against us because we know she doesn’t mean it.

These women are so worried about the wrong thing in life,
really. Look around what is going on in the world.

Teresa is the show- the other girls are only there off of her success! LOVe TRE!

You have got to be kidding me? First of all who the heck is Guiliana to say what is good and what isnt. This is the same chick who went on a twitter war with Leanna Rimes telling her that she is TOO SKINNY. Oh that’s right Guiliana and YOUR SO CURVY. Theresa is a Cancer. She USED to be SO fun to watch the first two season. And as soon as Melissa can onto the scene Theresa went all Danielle banana’s. There is something wrong with her. I understand it must be hard living with an alcoholic felon who does NOT like to work and create twitter wars between his brother in law ( Melissa husband ) and himself. Im sorry your how old? 40.. Theresa has lost her mojo. She is desperate for attention and the best way to get that is to cause drama with Caroline. That is why she did all this. She saw how many women got fired from NY and rumors were that she was next. So for fear she would lose her 250k a season she started all this nonsense.. HORRIBLE.

I agree 100%!! I’d love to know how Teresa “is” the show?! She only got not air time bc of the fight with her family! She has said some very offensive things since the start of the show. I can name plenty! Hope all these team Teresa ppl don’t live in a house that was lived in before bc she said its gross & its not “cleansiness” (her word & she just used it again in her new blog! She males rude comments ant everyone in her blogs. She said Melissa & Kathy joined the show bc they had other motives. What is she doing?? Looks like she has her little franchise gng so what’s the difference?? & it makes me sick she always says everyone is jealous of her! I’m soo sure Melissa is jealous of her! Looks like their finances are just fine! I get sick of her always saying she apologized & in the same breath makes a jab!! Grow up chick!!!

Teresa did not cause the fighting. It is the jealousy of everyone else against her. Of course she had to be defensive. Everyone at every corner was dissing on her and trying to get success with their own bad behavior. Teresa is strong, she has maintained the NY Times Bestseller list, she has a good head on her shoulders. She will survive all the BS and the attacks.

You are as silly, ignorant and ditzy as Teresa. She is a horrible person consumed with only herself. Her husband has a horrible attitude as well and drinks like a fish. They both represent the worst in Italian people and terrible for their children to look at….even their own daughter wrote a poem and cried because of their negative lifestyle and treacherous behavior.

oh yeah the other cast mates don’t drink just Joe. by the way it is wrong for family to come to what you’ve already been doing and ride on your coat tells ESP. If their gonna bag you, it was mean for Joe to call his sister garbage, Teresa if you watch tries to take the high road she hasn’t told her dad about the garbage comment if she was a trouble maker than she would have let him see that episode no she wants her dad to be happy at her expense, and Melissa coming on and getting Teresas supposedly friends to back stab her, Caroline looked to me last night to be washed out.Caroline thinks she does not have to blog to her fans anymore and Jac too .There fans wait for their blogs but they don’t care if they hurt their friends or the fans of the show I think it’s inconsiderate. Sorry to rant but the reunion was sickening and purposely done so.

And you’re stupid if you bought Caroline’s jealous rant.

THE HIGH ROAD!!!??? Teresa couldn’t dig herself out of a paper bag much less take the high road. Teresa is bipolar and needs to be medicated. The entire season she kept saying “leave the past in the past” and then when someone would say ANYTHING..she some how turned it around and made it about the past. For example, in punta cana when kathy was saying she didn’t want to miss out on her kids..SPECIAL Teresa took it as a jab. REALLY? Kathy almost lost her daughter to a brain tumor and doesn’t want to miss a minute of her life right now and Teresa turns it into her. ANYONE who sticks up for Teresa’s nonsense needs to be committed as well. She needs to stop starting crap with people and strighten out her drunk driving, money stealing, license fraud, verbally abusive husband and her demonic children.
