RHONJ’s Teresa Giudice has angered fans over her ”despicable” behavior as they insist that she be axed from the Bravo franchise.
Viewers watched an explosive first installment of the three-part reunion, which aired on Tuesday night.
This season, Teresa became a controversial character, giving host Andy Cohen plenty of juicy questions to field her way.
The Real Housewives veteran seems to have ignited a feud with most of her castmates, leading viewers to vie for her removal from the show.
“#RHONJreunion#RHONJ@Teresa_Giudice should be fired from Bravo. She’s selfish and despicable. She’s an embarrassment to the show, the state, and women in general,” one person tweeted during the special.
Another user had the same thoughts, demanding that the cookbook author not return.

“@Andy, how many more people does @Teresa_Giudice have to put her hands on before she is fired. You?
“Telling someone to pull another castmates hair? Cursing out the crew? Oh wait she’s already done those. Zero consequences. @RHONJ_Fans@RHONJ_@BravoWWHL#RHONJ#RealHousewives,” they wrote.
The comments flooded in as fans watched Teresa exchange harsh words with several co-stars, with her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, getting the brunt of her fury.
In one part, Melissa fought back tears over her and Teresa’s broken bond, admitting that she was “sad” that she was snubbed from the Bravo star’s wedding plans.
The admission referenced a Watch What Happens Live appearance in March, where Teresa revealed none of her co-stars, including Melissa, would be bridesmaids in her wedding to Luis Ruelas.
Shocked, host Andy Cohen asked: “Oh wow, Melissa will not be a bridesmaid?” to which the reality star replied: “No.”
“Does she know that?” he asked, and Teresa shot back: “Don’t make a big deal. Come on!”
“Will this be news to her?” Andy inquired.
The RHONJ star replied: “I mean I guess so, I mean we’re on national TV!”
At the reunion, Andy once again brought up the fact that Melissa won’t be a bridesmaid at Teresa’s wedding, and the reactions from both women were heated.
Andy turned to Melissa, 43, to ask how she’s been feeling and if she was “hurt” by being left out of the wedding party.
She admitted honestly: “At first, no.”
Turning to Teresa, she added: “Because I thought it would just be your daughters. Then, you’re having your new sisters-in-law.”
The 49-year-old explained that that’s because she “speaks to them all the time.”
Melissa told her sister-in-law that she should “feel bad” for not including her and doesn’t understand why she’s being so “negative” toward her.
Feeling defeated, she angrily added: “Teresa, whoever you want in your wedding is fine with me.”
The mother-of-four then bluntly told her: “This is the thing, honey; we’re not close.
“You’re my sister-in-law, but we’re not close.”
Melissa got upset after hearing Teresa say that to her and appeared to have to work to keep it together.
“Like, my heart’s beating [fast] right now because it’s sad for me,” she admitted.
Joe Gorga’s wife continued: “It’s just that we have a lot of memories, even if we’re not close.”
In October of last year, Teresa announced her engagement to Luis after 11 months of dating.
Teresa’s upcoming nuptials have been an ongoing topic between the housewives as her co-star Margaret Josephs, 54, has aired her grievances about Luis, 46.
Fans watched things get violent between the ladies during a trip to Nashville, Tennessee, where Teresa threw a cocktail glass at Margaret over her comments about her husband-to-be.
“You better stay the f**k out of my face. You want to try to pop my love bubble, it’s not gonna happen.”
Later, in a bar scene, Margaret yelled: “Keep lying, Teresa,” as the mother of four became enraged and shot back, “Disgusting white trash b***h,” and security held her back.
Their feud followed the news that the fashion designer had called Luis a “sex addict” while filming the upcoming season.
A show insider exclusively told The Sun: “Everyone has been gossiping about Teresa, however, Margaret Josephs has been the most vocal on camera, claiming that Luis Ruelas is a ‘sex addict’ with ‘a history of abuse’ in which she references tales that Louie’s past girlfriends have shared online.”
The source continued: “Behind Teresa’s back, the women have gone as far as to label Luis ‘an opportunist’ with ‘an agenda’ and proceed to mock Teresa’s intelligence for falling in love with a man who has such a questionable history.”
Out of Teresa’s castmates, the insider revealed only Jennifer Aydin has been “supportive” of her relationship.
In addition to Melissa and Margaret, Teresa also exchanged blows with her brother Joe Gorga, 42, on the reunion set.
Melissa’s husband threatened to quit the show following his sister’s profane language towards him.
His reaction came after Teresa blasted her brother for being a “b***h boy,” an insult previously used by her friend Jennifer.
Tired of the name-calling, he wagged his finger and demanded: “You gotta stop putting me down!”
Joe then stormed off stage, leaving his wife, Melissa, behind as he hollered: “F**k you people!”
