Shocking Cover Up! ‘RHONJ’ Removes Teresa Giudice’s Ford Slam From Future Reunion Episodes After Major Backlash
Viewers have been buzzing about Bravo covering the tracks of their favorite felon, after Teresa Giudice blurted out too much truth during The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 7 Reunion part one.
Viewers are reporting that RHONJ editors have been working overtime, removing a verbal slam against advertising giant, Ford Motor Company.
Teresa was firing back, after being criticized for scoring a $100k Lexus SUV straight out of prison — despite being broke and buried in debt. Below is the unedited footage from RHONJ Reunion part one with the ‘Ford,’ before it was removed from future television airings.
Andy Cohen suggested that driving a Ford might be a better option for any cash-strapped jailbird, and Teresa snapped back with “Would you drive a Ford?” A luxury lease was a must — and millions of middle class viewers, along with one mega-advertiser, were immediately insulted.
Andy would drive a Ford if he owed money, other people would be forced to take the bus, but Teresa thinks a new Lexus is acceptable 🙈 #RHONJ

#RHONJ Don't look for #Ford to be a sponsor! @Teresa_Giudice won't drive a #Ford, only #Lexus good enough for a person worried about $$

The social media backlash was real, and both Teresa and Bravo had to backtrack to bandage another one of Teresa’s blunders.

A used house is skeevy & she won't drive a Ford. No wonder they turned into Criminals. Expensive lifestyle #rhonj

Teresa launched a contrived apology on Instagram, even touting her rental Ford’s “nifty” features, in a post clearly composed by a rep.

Viewers across the internet report that repeat airings of the episode reveal that Bravo has edited out any mention of the bashed auto giant. Bravo/NBC has to answer to their sponsors — by covering the damage done by their criminal darling’s unfiltered mouth.
ep, Bravo edited it out but it's too late. We all heard her say it & we all saw it! #payback the $$$ U stole #FELON! #RHONJ

New Jersey reality is now behind us, but Bravo continues to scramble and cover for the “reinvented” star of the franchise — the all-too-familiar, Teresa Giudice.
