The Explanation of Sofia Vergara’s Dispute with RHONJ Star Teresa Giudice

“The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, Teresa Giudice, explained on the “Namaste B$tches” podcast that she’s not usually the type to seek out photos with celebrities. She told her co-host, Melissa Pfeister, that she was not interested in getting a picture with Sofia Vergara. Still, Giudice was going to abide by the request of her PR rep — until she heard the “Modern Family” actor asking her team why she should take a photo with the reality TV star.

“When we went to go take a picture, she was like standing in front of me. It’s like, okay, that’s not how we take a picture. She was like the most rudest woman I’ve ever met. I saw her whole demeanor, and then I heard her say to her PR person, ‘Why you making me take a picture with that lady?’” Giudice recounted, mimicking Vergara’s distinctive Colombian accent. The “RHONJ” star said she fired back at Vergara, telling the actor she didn’t want to take a picture with her, either. Giudice said Vergara stared at her before walking away.

Giudice shared the same story six years earlier at a 2017 panel discussion, “Gettin’ Real With the Housewives.” In a video obtained by TMZ, Giudice describes the same story — complete with the exact preface about not caring about celebrity photos — onstage. The “RHONJ” star called Vergara a “b****” and added, “Ugh, I can’t stand her.”
