After publicly denying it for years, Teresa Giudice finally admitted on RHONJ that Joe cheated on her and she was aware of it.

The RHONJ couple finally announced they were separating after 20 years of marriage once Joe was deported back to Italy late last year.  Teresa Giudice and Joe Giudice have not been “together” in years as they both served long prison sentences for their past indiscretions.  But Teresa always publicly denied that Joe cheated on her in the past, even though it was pretty obvious he did.  The cameras even caught him talking to a woman on the phone while he was mic’d up (more on that later).

Teresa was on the Bravo After Show and admitted that the woman Joe was speaking with at the time was also training her.  Joe had apparently gotten a second cell phone to speak with this woman, and Melissa Gorga confirmed that the phone proved Joe was being unfaithful.  Melissa went on to say she’s happy Teresa is finally ready to speak about the incident….incidents*.

“I confronted the girl and she denied it of course. So I got over it.”  Teresa went on to say that at the time, Gia was only three years old – she’s 19 now.  The incident shown in the most recent episode was from season 4, episode 16, titled “Whine Country,” according to IMDB.  The group was out in Napa when Joe took a phone call from a mystery woman while he had his microphone on.  He said something along the lines of, “Oh, here she comes. Here comes my bitch wife.” That was only back in 2012, so Gia would have been eleven at that time.

So it seems that Joe just had a history of unfaithfulness, but Teresa stood by him through it all.  And now she stood by him getting deported, and all of the reports of Teresa having a boyfriend make sense.  She had been through enough by the time he left for jail, there was no reason to stick around and wait.

Now that Joe isn’t allowed back in the country, it makes sense that the couple would separate.  Teresa deserves to be happy, and being with someone on a different continent probably won’t provide that.  Hopefully, there are some nice pool guys or other men in Teresa’s future…and more moments of truth about Joe on camera.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is on Bravo Wednesday nights at 8 PM!
