Teresa Giudice Insists She's 'Not Desperate' to Return to 'RHONJ' After Reconciliation Confession: 'Crazy Timing'

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice addressed being open to reconciling with her brother as rumors about casting swirl.

When appearing recently on Jeff Lewis’ SiriusXM show, he asked her if she could coexist with Melissa Gorga, Joe Gorga and Margaret Josephs.

“Never say never,” Teresa replied.

This led fans to surmise she was potentially open to making up with her brother, which an insider dished to OK! was occurring as she was “desperate” and “worried given the developments that have happend on RHONJ.” Specifically, those developments were reports test shooting had happened for Season 15 of the show, which Giudice was not included in.

“The thing is, before I was very adamant — and I was just like absolutely not,” Teresa said on her “Turning the Tables” podcast regarding making up with Melissa and Joe. “And I know everyone’s saying now, ‘Oh my god she’s saying it now ‘cause she’s desperate. She needs a job.’ That’s not the case. There’s things that — there’s reasons why I’m saying that. It’s like an olive branch. Now I’m just saying, ‘Never say never.’ That’s it.”

While Teresa acknowledged she had previously felt there was absolutely no way she could make up with Joe and Melissa, she explained as she gets older, certain things have happened that have made her have a potential change of heart.

“I’m just saying my door is cracked open,” Teresa said. “I just said, ‘Never say never.’”

“That’s all I’m saying,” she elaborated. “I’m a mom first. So I always want to do the right thing and be a good example for my children. That’s the number one thing. We could rehash things and then where’s that gonna get us? Nowhere. So sometimes you can’t rehash things. You just have to let the past go and move forward.”

Teresa also noted a “lot of people” look up to her, which is why she wants to be a “good example” for them as well.

“Listen, people do change and things happen in life that make you evolve and grow and that’s all I’m saying,” she continued. “And another big thing — time heals all wounds. That saying is so true. After a while you’re just like — I guess when a lot of time passes, you forget things. Meaning you’re not as angry as when you first were. And I guess if you’re happy in your life, then that’s what I want to exude. I want to exude happiness. I don’t want to be angry. I want to just be happy and I want to put that out there.”

Teresa went on to reiterate she is “not desperate” while addressing her future on RHONJ. “If Bravo doesn’t want me back, I’m fine with that,” she claimed. “If they want me back, I’m fine. I’d be fine with both. But I’m not just saying that because I’m desperate and I want my job back. Unfortunately, I know, it’s crazy timing. Obviously, there was stuff put out there that they were filming, but they’re not. And this came at the same time. And the reason this came out is because I’m promoting another show that I’m on.”

“It wasn’t poor timing on my part,” she concluded. “It was just I’m out there promoting another show that I’m on and I got asked about it and that’s how I feel about it right now.”
