Teresa Giudice was dubbed the “rudest person” after being muzzled during a live interview with a radio host on Monday November 27. Billy Costaa Boston-area radio host, the co-host of the Billy & Lisa in the morning Show, shouted the 50-year-old The real housewives of New Jersey star was “easily, hands down, the rudest person” he “ever interviewed” immediately after completing her phone interview, which was supposed to promote an event she is co-hosting in Massachusetts, per page six. He also described her as an “idiot” and a “monster” while she was still on the air.
The ordeal began as soon as he brought up her 2016 book, Turn the tables, which details the 11 months she served in federal prison in 2015 on charges of mail, wire, and bankruptcy fraud. “Teresa, we know you spent some time in prison, but you got out of prison and wrote a book – a bestseller – about your time in prison, and did it focus a lot on prison food?” asked Billy, 69. The reality star immediately expressed her disinterest in the subject, saying, “I don’t know if you know this, but I’m a four-time New York Times bestselling author.”
Billy seemed to take the hint and asked her about her upcoming event, but Teresa decided to get back to standing up for herself. “[We’re going to] Have fun and it’s all about being positive, right? And not negative? You should learn something from that,” replied the mother of four.
After Billy’s co-host tried to defend him by explaining to Teresa that the book was part of her bio, which her publicist had given them, Teresa gave the couple some life advice. “I have a podcast called ‘Namaste B—ches’ [and] You should listen and learn to be a little more Namaste,” she argued.
Billy’s chatter started immediately after the call ended. He argued that the prison issue should be a positive attitude at this time in her life, considering that she published such a successful book afterwards. He also claimed he “stayed clear” of prohibited interview topics, which allegedly included her feud with her brother. Joe Gorgaand the criticism she faced for wearing Balenciaga amid her inappropriate publicity controversy.
“She was negative and told me I needed to be more Namaste. I’m very namaste,” he claimed during his live vent session. “I do yoga every morning at sunrise. Don’t spend an evening with Teresa Giudice. I don’t even want coffee with Teresa Giudice.”
HollywoodLife contacted Teresa’s representative regarding the drama. Teresa has not addressed the situation publicly at this time, although her attorney, James J Leonard JrHe was on her side when he made a statement page six. “I think Mr Costa needs to work on being a little more Namaste like Teresa – he seemed to be looking for a confrontation or having his moment,” he said. “I would recommend him to listen to Teresa’s podcast ‘Namaste B—ches’ so he can work on himself and learn how to properly treat guests on his show.”
While Teresa appeared disturbed on air, she appears to be over the drama and has even promoted the new November 30 episode of her podcast Instagram. She enthusiastically revealed her “love” Louie “Luis” Ruelas, is the guest. While the consequencethe 46-year-old spoke about his experiences filming for The real housewives and how he navigates the show’s drama, his own family drama with estranged brother-in-law Joe Gorga, and why he and Teresa decided to forego a prenup.
