The ceasefire between Kim DePaola and Teresa Giudice is officially over. The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars had ditched their decade-old drama, but now, they’re basically back to square one. So, what in the world happened between Kim D and Tre?
In an exclusive chat with Reality Tea, Kim spilled the tea about why her old wounds with Teresa just reopened. It should come as no surprise that Luis Ruelas is involved. Plus, Kim explained to us why she’s also ready to take Jennifer Aydin down with them.
Strap yourselves in, because this tea is piping hot.
RHONJ’s Kim D and Teresa Giudice have “beef” again after previously making up
According to Kim, her feud with Teresa reignited due to the legal battle between Luis and his ex-fiancée, Vanessa Reiser. Luis accused Vanessa of defamation, among a variety of other claims. Multiple RHONJ cast members have been pulled into the mess, and Kim D is one of them.
“Teresa and I have a beef,” she told us. “I hear through the grapevine she’s talking smack, [she’s] mad at me, because I’m the one who got Vanessa Reiser her attorney, Doug, who’s one of my dearest friends for the past 14 years.”
“At that time, I was not speaking to Teresa for years. When Teresa and I made up, Luis and Teresa 1000% knew that Doug was my friend. Doug has been on my show, Doug’s continually on my Get Real With Kim D as an attorney,” Kim explained.
Kim said that the connection between her and Vanessa wasn’t originally an issue. The RHONJ stars continued with their reforged friendship. Teresa joined Kim on her podcast, they went out together, and everything seemed fine. Then, things shifted last month when Teresa suddenly revisited the Vanessa of it all.
Kim recalled, “Teresa goes, ‘Luis says you’re the one that got Doug Anton for Vanessa.’ I’m like, ‘Teresa, we’ve gone over this. First of all, Doug is my friend. He’s a criminal attorney. No reason to hate on him, he’s doing a job, this happened many years ago when we were not talking, and you knew this, we were past this.’ She goes, ‘No, I know, I know.’”
After that chat, Kim said her relationship with Tre turned cold. Their daily phone calls stopped, and instead, Kim said she started getting “tons of calls” from mutual friends telling her that Teresa had been badmouthing her. Some of the things she heard were hurtful.
Kim said, “A couple of the things that came in really got under my skin. It takes a lot to get under my skin because I’m not a feelings person, I’m not emotional, I don’t care.”
Kim D is now going after “fired” RHONJ alum Jennifer Aydin
To make matters worse, Kim revealed to us how Jennifer inserted herself into the drama with Teresa by allegedly sending troll accounts after her. Kim said she immediately started getting bombarded with hateful online messages once things soured between her and Teresa.
“What happens is, all of a sudden, Twitter, all Jen Aydin’s people start coming out after me. ‘You’re a madam,’ then they go after Barby, the young 30-year-old who lives with me,” Kim explained.
“She had opened up an OnlyFans account that she never used. It was like an ongoing joke with me, her, and her friends. She never used it, but I told her she should use it! ‘That proves you’re a madam! She’s living with you, she probably pays you,’ saying all these things,” Kim continued.
Kim said there were two reasons why she believed Jen was behind the troll accounts. Allegedly, someone flat-out told her that Jen has multiple accounts for this sort of thing. She said one of Jen’s friends “flipped on her” and spilled all of the beans about the online tactics.
Kim continued, “The second thing that happens is, Teresa reached out. ‘I don’t wanna fight,’ trying to make up with me. The minute that happens, we haven’t had one tweet since. Not one. That means Teresa told Jen we’re good, to stop, and then Jen stopped.”
“But see, Jen doesn’t understand,” Kim added. “You come at me for something that is absolutely sickening and accuse me of something that really is defamation, I’m gonna come at you so hard, you’re not gonna know what hit you.”
When it comes to Jen, Kim said she “hit the bullseye.” Not only does she feel confident that she caught Jen spearheading an online campaign against her, but she said this wasn’t the first time that Jen has been caught red-handed in some mess. Remember those rumors that someone from RHONJ leaked screeners to bloggers? Kim said that it had everything to do with Jen, and it cost her the coveted spot on Bravo.
“You would think Jen would have learned her lesson,” Kim said. “She lost her job because of ‘LoveLoveLoveGabriela.’ They became close friends; she was giving Gabriela the screeners. One of the cast members went to Bravo and Sirens with Gabriela, and she told Sirens what Jen was doing…
“She got fired because of this, and dragged Teresa in,” Kim continued. “That’s why the show is on pause. Now, she thinks she’s gonna come at me. I have warned them. Jen, if you continue along with these bots, I don’t care about the attacks, but you’re making it worse for your friend. The more you viciously attack me and this poor young 30-year-old that lives with me, I will attack you twice as hard. And when I attack you, it sticks.”
It’s a lot of drama, but Kim isn’t losing sleep over it. She told us she’s an expert at making the best out of this kind of mess. With that in mind, RHONJ fans can tune into her podcast, Get Real with Kim D, to hear her pick this apart even further.
“We tell them, thank you so much. You have blown up the OnlyFans account, now we’re gonna add to it. We can buy sprinkle cookies now. I already went to Envy and bought two tops. We’re too smart for these people. We take it and we turn it around.”
Get Real with Kim D is available on Patreon, and you can stream The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock.
