Sunday Reality TV Viewer Numbers: Real Housewives Of New Jersey, Princesses Long Island, Hollywood Exes, And More

by Melissa on July 31st, 2013

The viewer numbers for Sunday – reality TV's busiest night – are in!

Good news: Keeping up with the Kardashians ruled the night. (Obviously, I mean good news for them, not us!) 2.83 million people (up from 2.6) tuned in to see the Kim and Kompany in Greece. And Hollywood Exes finally saw an increase! The show premiered to 1.7 million viewers, fell to 723,000 its third week, and came back with 957,000 this week.

Decent news: Sister Wives attracted 1.97 million viewers. Sure, that's down from its premiere, but kudos for them for having any viewers at all. (ICK. I can't STAND that guy!)

Bad news: Real Housewives of New Jersey fans came in droves to see the Joes fight (2.7 and 2.83 million the past two weeks) but fell to 2.48 now that the drama is over. I'm curious to see if Joe and Teresa Giudice's real time legal issues affect RHONJ's ratings. And only 798,000 ~~regretful~~ viewers cared to watch Ashlee's meltdown on Princesses: Long Island.

Kim DePaola Defends Teresa Giudice Against Fraud Indictment! Lawyer Involved In Indictment Calls The RHONJ Stars “Sleazy”!

by Mary on July 31st, 2013

They say a tough situation determines your friends from your enemies! I guess you could say Teresa Giudice has a real friend in Kim DePaola. Who woudda thunk it?!

In response to Teresa's recent indictment, Kim is defending her friend and fellow Real Housewives of New Jersey star. "Knowing Teresa as well as I know her, and I think I know her, I don't think she would ever willingly do any of this," Kim insists to Us Weekly.

Kim just doesn't think Teresa would knowingly take the risk! "She has four kids. I don't think she's capable of it. I think there's been a witch-hunt going on for a long time for her."

Rumor has it Teresa is setting up a defense that while she participated in what Joe Giudice was doing, she was pretty clueless about what she was signing, etc.

Teresa Giudice And Joe Giudice Blame Fame For Fraud Indictment! Will They Quit Real Housewives Of New Jersey?

by Mary on July 31st, 2013

Teresa Giudice and her husband Joe Giudice were indicted on 39-counts of money fraud earlier this week. Yesterday the couple was released on $500,000 bond each and it was discovered that Joe isn't even a U.S. citizen and faces deportation if convicted. So yeah, good times!

In August the couple meets back in court where both plan to enter Not Guilty pleas, but it's apparently Teresa will try to get out of jail time while Juicy does the dirty work. Hey – they do have four kids AND a reality television career to nurture!

Speaking of reality TV, Teresa's attorney Henry Klingeman is targeting Real Housewives of New Jersey as the reason Teresa and Joe are in such trouble. Oh rlllly…

EXCLUSIVE: Teresa Giudice And Joe Giudice Freaking Out About Fraud Indictment; Feuding With The Gorgas Again!

by Mary on July 30th, 2013

Teresa Giudice is in big trouble! And not the kind of generic fodder for tabloids that usually erupts on reality TV shows.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star has just been federally indicted on 39-counts of financial fraud along with her husband Joe Giudice. Teresa and Joe both plan to plead Not Guilty and it's clear Teresa is going to try and dumb her way out of this because she has a lot to lose in going to prison. Hey, Martha Stewart's career survived, maybe Teresa's can as well?

Reality Tea's source tells us EXCLUSIVELY that while Teresa is putting on a tough exterior, reality is for real hitting home for the Giudices and things are a mess!

"Teresa and Joe are a nervous wreck," our source reveals. "Joe's parents went to court with him and Teresa today. Things are bad."

Real Housewives Of New Jersey’s Teresa Giudice Clarifies Previous Blog Post; Claims She And Her Family “End The Season In A Really Good Place”

by Lauren on July 30th, 2013

I'm convinced if their businesses bazillion ventures fail or they bid farewell to reality television (either by choice or incarceration), the women of Real Housewives of New Jersey could make fabulous livings as spin instructors. They certainly must get a good work out changing their stories every five seconds. All of the women are guilty of it, but Teresa Giudice and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga are shining professionals when it comes to spinning their version of events to make them the good guy. Hey, at least it's entertaining!

After being accused of threatening Melissa in her blog last week, Teresa clarifies her words in yesterday's Bravo entry. She promises that all of the family (well, maybe not ALL of them…she implies that one little lady is still up to her evil ways) is trying to make things better after that dramatic retreat. Tre writes, "What did you think of the Miracle at St. George? I think I haven't cried that much in my whole life. I cried all over again watching it. All this nonsense about our family not getting along for 10 years just isn't true."

Teresa continues, "You can tell from how we were at the end of the episode — cooking and laughing and enjoying each other like close families do. I wish I could have had every one of you in the room with us to feel the love. You deserve it after watching our darkest moments! Thank you all so much for keeping the faith in my family!" No problem, Billy Joel! Happy to oblige. Teresa is right on that front…we have seen a lot of darkness with the women of RHONJ, and I for one welcomed the reprieve!

In the brief hearing, which lasted about an hour, the Real Housewives of New Jersey stars were each released on $500,000 unsecured bail bonds by a federal judge.

Per the terms: Teresa and Joe "must surrender their passports and they are not allowed to leave New York or New Jersey until their next hearing, which is scheduled for Aug. 14."

The hearing also revealed that Joe is not a legal U.S. Citizen despite being married to Teresa for 15 years. Joe was born in Italy and will have to submit to drug testing. Teresa will not.

A witness tells Us Weekly Teresa and Joe were "very solemn" during the hearing, but there were "no tears" and their demeanor was "very professional."
