Sunday on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 6 Episode 8, Joe and Teresa Giudice pleaded guilty to fraud charges that could land them behind bars.
That we were expecting, as it’s made headlines for months. What you won’t see coming when you watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online?
One of her fellow cast members’ reaction to the bombshell.
Amber Marchese, for one, is already crying on the phone before Teresa even answers, and when Giudice does, is more annoyed than anything.
“Maybe it was time of the month?” Teresa wonders.
Amber tries to gather her composure, before peppering Teresa with questions and offering support. Then she hangs up and starts crying again.
Meanwhile, Melissa Gorga and Dina Manzo whisk Teresa away for a trip to Florida, because Bravo decided it would be good "to get her mind off things."
Marchese, who’s been fighting with twins Nicole Napolitano and Teresa Aprea, is coming too. As are they. To "get them over this hump," we’re told.
Because that happens on the Housewives.
Also, Dina invites the cast over to her place to discuss kids’ fashion show to benefit her charity, Project Ladybug, where we learn a lot about her intelligence.
She thinks that breast cancer sometimes leads to a “vasectomy.” But more importantly, we are treated to another discussion of the Victoria Gotti drama.
Two weeks ago, VG dropped the bomb that Teresa Aprea’s husband Rino Aprea banged his mother-in-law. Amber vows to keep the secret under wraps.
“Out of respect for you and Victoria, I will never say anything.” Amber says to Teresa … and even manages to keep a straight face while saying it.
At the end of the episode, Teresa and Joe Giudice plead guilty to fraud, sentencing pendng. “I can’t believe that this is my life," the reality star laments.
No table-flipping meltdown, sadly. Maybe that will come at the sentencing if she actually has to do time; Teresa is certain she won’t go to jail in the end.
Stay tuned.
