‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’: Teresa Giudice’s Over-the-Top Spending Splurges Revealed </a>

<p id=”par-15_20″>Teresa Giudice found the perfect foil in castmate Jennifer Aydin. Together, they try to tag team against the other women.</p>
<p id=”par-16_34″>Teresa, 51, and Jennifer, 47, started a new round of feuds during Season 14’s premiere episode. The women spread gossip regarding rumors they read on social media about co-star Rachel Fuda’s husband, John Fuda.</p>
<p id=”par-17_43″>Rachel, in turn, told<a href=”https://www.etonline.com/rhonjs-rachel-fuda-calls-out-mean-girl-antics-in-jennifer-aydin-and-margaret-josephs-dramahttps://www.etonline.com/rhonjs-rachel-fuda-calls-out-mean-girl-antics-in-jennifer-aydin-and-margaret-josephs-drama” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”> Entertainment Tonight</a> that Teresa and Jennifer tag teamed against Margaret Josephs during her first season on the Bravo series. “I understand where they’re coming from—and they’re validated in their feelings—but it just felt a little mean girl,” Rachel said. </p>
<p id=”par-18_44″>“It felt like a little aggressive at that moment … it just didn’t feel appropriate at that point. I wasn’t at that point in my friendship with Teresa or Jennifer yet, and it was not for my benefit; I think it was for theirs.”</p>
<p id=”par-19_59″>“I think I’m a little more classier– actually, I <em>know </em>I’m a little bit more classier, a lot more classier, than Jennifer Aydin,” Rachel continued. “So, I’m not going to stoop to her level and fight the way she fights. I have class, a lot more sophistication than she does and I have a better heart than she does.”</p>
