Teresa Giudice Closes the Book on Relationship with Cousins Kathy Wakile & Rosie Pierri #RHONJ

Kathy Wakile and her sister, Rosie Pierri, confronted their estranged cousin, Teresa Giudice, cornering her at a book signing on last week’s Real Housewives of New Jersey. The awkward reunion continues this week, as Kathy and Rosie try to pin down why Teresa wants to slam the door on their family love.

In a Bravo preview clip, Teresa and her brother, Joe Gorga, meet with the sisters to hash out their differences. It’s a table showdown — Jersey style.

“It’s not that I don’t want to be a family – you guys are always going to be my family. We have the same blood,” Giudice tells them. “I just want to be left alone. I don’t want to be hurt anymore. I’m just tired. I’ve been through a lot.”

“I don’t want to be hurt either and I don’t want to hurt anybody,” Wakile fires back.

Teresa claims that she has a problem with Kathy’s husband, Rich, while Bravo backs their favorite felon, flashing us back to Rich’s greatest Tre-dissing hits.

“Every time I’m around your husband, he’s always got something negative to say,” Teresa explains. “Rich threw my cookbook in the garbage. Doesn’t he feel anything?”

Before Kathy can respond, Teresa lays into them for not supporting her,  while she was stuck in an incarcerated yoga pose.

“The whole year I was away, I didn’t get a card from you or you,” Teresa complains. “I just want people that have been there for me while I went through this, during when I went through this and when I came home.”

“I’ve been trying,” Wakile shoots back. “You have to also understand being on the other side where you shut everybody out.”

Teresa responds by accusing her cousins of being spotlight whores — sniffing around again because of her renewed Bravo glory.

“I didn’t shut nobody out,” Teresa says. “The only reason why I’m bringing it up is because I feel like now because I’m in the public eye again, you guys are bringing it up. That’s how I feel.”

Rosie is visibly upset, and pleads her case. “”Then you don’t know me really then,” she says. “Then you never did. I want to move forward. You shut us out, Teresa.”

Teresa twists the knife, and cuts deep with her final comment in the clip.

“Just with us guys, there’s been a lot of turmoil,” she says. “I want to cut the cancer out, really.”

“We’re not cancer, I can tell you that,” Wakile replies.

“You’re saying you don’t want ever to hang out and laugh and hug and be a family ever again?” Rosie asks — the big question of the episode. 

Check out the explosive confrontation above and tune into The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Sunday night at 8:00 pm ET.
