In a revealing interview with TooFab, Giudice shared her thoughts on her surprising elimination from Home of Villains. She looked back on her experiences in the E! series, discussing the tense confrontation with Pollard and how they were ultimately able to reconcile and move past their earlier disagreements. Her reflections highlight the complexities of reality TV relationships.

As viewers may remember, during a recent episode of Home of Villains, Giudice and Pollard had a heated exchange after Victoria Larson revealed that Giudice had plans to place Pollard on the Hit List, which escalated the tension between the two reality TV personalities.

Pollard, furious over Larson’s revelation, confronted Giudice, and the situation quickly escalated when the seasoned reality star made derogatory remarks about Giudice’s husband, Luis Ruelas, intensifying the drama and fiery exchanges typical of reality television.

“Why did Luis really send those roses?” Pollard provocatively asked Giudice about the flowers he had sent four days prior. “Because he’s guilty! He’s been cheating on you, and every one of those roses represents the times he’s cheated on you while you’ve been here,” Pollard accused, adding fuel to the already heated dispute.

“You’re disgusting!” Giudice shot back fiercely. “What did you get? Did you receive any flowers? Are you just jealous? It’s so amusing how envious you are!” This fiery exchange exemplifies the high-stakes environment of reality TV, where emotions run high and conflicts can erupt unexpectedly.

Giudice later discussed the intense altercation with TooFab, providing insight into her feelings during the heated moment.

“When she said that to me, I just distanced myself from her,” Giudice explained. “I find it difficult to engage with people who spread false accusations. I think many people told her that what she did was wrong, and I’m sure she wouldn’t appreciate me saying something similar about her fiancé.”

Regarding how they were eventually able to resolve their conflict, Giudice confirmed reports that Pollard apologized to her and even approached Ruelas at the premiere party to express her regrets in person.

“She ended up apologizing to me,” Giudice revealed. “She said she did it just for the sake of drama. You saw what she stated. I was taken aback. It’s just not something I would do. Then she also apologized to Louie at the premiere party. When she saw him, she complimented him, saying, ‘Louie, Louie, Louie, you look amazing,’ and then she expressed her apology. What can you say to that? He was gracious, responding, ‘It’s okay, it’s okay.’”

She added, “It’s not a good situation; my poor husband was receiving direct messages, wondering if he had cheated on me. It’s absurd!”

According to Giudice, the fact that Ruelas received such messages from fans highlights the importance of not spreading false accusations, emphasizing the potential harm they can cause.

“I wouldn’t do that to anyone,” she told TooFab. “But I suppose she’s trying to make a TV show.” This illustrates the lengths some individuals will go to for the sake of entertainment.

“I always stay true to myself. I don’t hit below the belt,” she continued. “If you watch Housewives, you’ll understand who Teresa is and what I truly stand for. I’m not saying everything I do is perfect, but I would never put a false allegation out there. That’s not who I am.”

Giudice’s unexpected exit from the show caught not only her but the entire cast by surprise. At the end of last week’s episode, after Victoria Larson was eliminated, 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. This ranking set the stage for a shocking twist.

Pollard placed herself at the top of the villain list while Giudice found herself ranked at the bottom in the “least villainous” category. McHale then announced that there would be a double elimination, which meant Giudice, in her seemingly safe position, was unexpectedly sent home. Godderz, who was right next to Giudice in the ranking, was also sent home, which sparked outrage among some cast members, particularly Larsa Pippen and Pollard, who believed he deserved to remain longer than Giudice.

“I thought, if I have to exit, I didn’t mind going out that way,” Giudice told TooFab. “I was being true to myself. Did I feel I should have been at the end? No. I believe Jessie should have been at the end, and I should have been right after him. But I wasn’t going to start a fight with Jessie. I figured whoever ended up at the end would be Villain of the Week. When I heard there was a double elimination, I thought, ‘Okay, this is how I’m going out.’ But I didn’t mind it at all.”

Giudice expressed that it “felt good” to know she wasn’t voted out by her fellow cast members, but rather eliminated for not fitting the villain mold.

“I’m sure it’s not a great feeling to be voted out,” she admitted. “Everyone was so sad when I left. I kept seeing that. Even Tiffany supported me against Jessie, saying, ‘You should have been at the end!’ I was just playing the game true to myself, and that’s what matters. I wasn’t going to start acting like a villain. If someone really came for me, they would have seen the villain side of me, but that takes a lot to trigger.”

Pippen, on the other hand, expressed that she felt “traumatized” over Giudice’s elimination. “We were so excited to be roommates, we couldn’t wait!” Giudice humorously remarked.

During her conversation with TooFab, Giudice compared her experience on Home of Villains to her nearly two decades on RHONJ and other reality TV shows, highlighting the unique aspects of each.

“I mean, Home of Villains is just one season. So, it’s a very different experience,” she reflected. “Real Housewives of New Jersey has been ongoing for 17 years. I just calculated how long I’ve been on New Jersey Housewives—17 years. That’s a long time. The relationships are different. Everyone knows what Real Housewives of New Jersey is about. It’s very different from Dancing with the Stars or any of the other shows that are just one season. It’s enjoyable; you do it, have fun, and then it’s over. But New Jersey Housewives has a rich history.”

When asked which other members of the Housewives franchise, excluding Pippen, she believes would excel on Home of Villains, Giudice confidently named her RHONJ co-star, Jennifer Aydin.

“I think she would thrive,” Giudice stated enthusiastically, adding, “I believe she could be an excellent villain. She would definitely do great.”

However, Giudice had little to say when asked about how she believes her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga would perform on the show.

“I’m not answering that question,” she responded to TooFab regarding Gorga, from whom she has been estranged for several years. “I don’t even know who that person is! We have no contact at all.”

During last Thursday’s episode, Larson was eliminated over Pippen in a 4-1 vote, with The Bachelor alum immediately confronting Giudice for her perceived betrayal after her elimination. Larson accused Giudice of “lying” to her face, expressing feelings of being “betrayed” by Giudice, who had been her roommate in the Home of Villains house.
