'No forgiving, you know that right?’ Teresa Giudice confronts husband Joe about cheating rumours on RHONJ

Teresa Giudice was shown awkwardly confronting husband Joe about rumors he cheated on her while she was in jail.

The latest episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey showed Teresa, 44, settling back home after prison and telling friends the cheating stories were ‘a bunch of crap.’

But she was still caught having an awkward confrontation with her husband, asking hesitant questions about the stories - without pressing him for a firm response.

Rumour has it: Teresa Giudice was shown awkwardly confronting husband Joe about rumors he cheated on her while she was in jail on the latest Real Housewives Of New Jersey

The showdown started after they kissed at home following a yoga session, with Teresa complaining about her husband’s garlic breath and him telling her: ‘You should be happy I eat a lotta garlic because you know I ain’t kissing nobody.’

Teresa then tentatively told Joe: ‘You know, if you’ve cheated on me - no forgiving, you know that, right?’

With Joe, also 44, merely smiling and mumbling a ‘mm-hmm,’ she told him: ‘I just wanna make sure of that.’

She added: ‘Because there’s a story out you were with another woman and that when you leave I’m gonna leave you.’

‘That’s always been out there, right?’ he replied.

Teresa again hesitantly asked: ‘If we didn’t wanna be with each other we wouldn’t be with each other, right?’

‘I would hope not,’ he smiled, with Teresa telling him: ‘Good, I’m glad we’re on the same page with that.’

Later, during an on-camera interview for the show she stressed: ‘Listen, when you get married it says for better, for worse, through sickness and health, til death do us part.’

Warning: Teresa then tentatively told Joe: ‘You know, if you’ve cheated on me - no forgiving, you know that, right?’

Loud and clear: Joe, also 44, merely smiled and mumbled a ‘mm-hmm,’ she told him: ‘I just wanna make sure of that.’

Earlier, Siggy Flicker had asked her outright about the tabloid rumors - and admitted she was shocked Teresa had not been angry at her prying.

Instead, Teresa said that while in the past she ‘might have been offended’ by the questioning she had ‘no problem answering’ the questions about her marriage, with Siggy later saying she told her: ‘Oh, it’s all a bunch of crap.’

Teresa was also shown going in to record the audiobook of her prison memoirs, Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again - and breaking down in tears just at reading the credits dedicating it to her children.

She was particularly moved reading about her youngest, six-year-old Audriana - calling her ‘my baby’ - saying: ‘I worried that she would forget me while I was there because she was so little. I also wanted to make sure she knew I wasn’t abandoning her.’

‘There was days, when I was away, that I cried over my children,’ she said. ‘Writing my book made me realize that I am a survivor and I love the person that I am.’

As she repeatedly cried at the credits, wiping away her tears with a tissue, she joked with audiobook producer Ben Rimalower: ‘The rate I’m going I’m never going to finish reading this book.’

Tough: She broke down in tears just reading the credits dedicating it to her children.

‘We’ll cry you out in the morning and then you’ll be done,’ he replied with a smile.

She also met up with her lawyers again in a meeting where he was shown the cover of the book and went through photos for it, including one where she had cornrows in her hair while inside.

She fondly recalled the ‘great girls’ she met, admitting: ‘Before I went to prison, I thought people there were bad people, but they’re just human beings like us that, you know, made mistakes in life.

‘And I always try to look at in the positive, like maybe God wanted me to have this time for myself.’

Strength: ‘There was days, when I was away, that I cried over my children,’ she said. ‘Writing my book made me realize that I am a survivor and I love the person that I am.’

She then insisted it had actually made her marriage stronger, with Joe writing her emails saying he ‘appreciates me so much more’ and ‘I’m sorry if I ever took you for granted.’

‘We connected on another level,’ she told the meeting.

Later, she insisted: ‘Every marriage goes through phases that either could improve the relationship or people get divorced.

‘In Joe and I’s case, thank God, it’s even better.

'I’ve heard, “Oh my God, I can’t believe she’s still with him” and it’s like, “Mind your business. That’s my husband.”’

Referring to her most famous fight from the show’s history, she added: ‘I did flip a table once, but to me turning the tables means I thought my life was perfect and then all of a sudden it got flipped around. And then the best is yet to come.’

As for the book, she said: ‘I hope I make the New York Times best-selling list - no, I WILL make the New York Times best-selling list!’

Her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, meanwhile, had her marriage to Teresa’s brother Joe tested, too - because of Joe’s extremely old-fashioned sexist values.

While Melissa was working hard to open her first fashion store, Envy, her husband merely moaned about her not doing household chores, repeatedly saying it was ‘not the deal’ when they got married.

Help: Teresa's brother Joe was struggling after being left with the kids

It started when one of their sons teased him when he was looking after them, cheekily telling him: ‘Make me some food, you woman.’

Calling himself ‘an Italian stallion’ not a woman, he quickly called his wife demanding she come home, telling her: ‘This wasn’t our deal! Our deal was I get married to you and you look after the kids. I’ve gotta work!’

He then admitted: ‘I love hanging out with my kids. But taking care of my kids? That’s a whole different animal. I never knew it was this hard. The queen can have her job back because - it’s over.’

But Melissa teased him: ‘Joe, you need to man up.’

She later complained that he should be encouraging her business efforts, saying to camera: ‘He’s the one who taught me how to have a set of balls. Here I am finding my set of balls, and he’s gonna doubt me? He should be proud! He made me this way.’

But Joe got even more outrageous, replying: ‘Yay! That’s great - what about dinner?

‘That’s what a good businesswoman does - goes to work, then comes home and takes care of the family.’

Old fashioned: Joe told his absent wife Melissa 'This wasn’t our deal! Our deal was I get married to you and you look after the kids. I’ve gotta work!'

However, he could not hide his pride on the store’s opening night - even putting on a dress to pretend to model it - telling his wife he was just giving her a hard time.

‘But you are the best wife a man can have,’ he told her proudly, with her adding later: ‘Once Joe starts seeing sales he’ll be all-in.’

She also told her friends as she got ready: ‘I want to show my daughter that you can be the best mom, the best wife, but you can also be successful in your own right.’

However, Joe had managed to make her blush one more time on the red carpet of the store opening, telling waiting press: ‘I’ve lost some weight, right? A lot of boom-boom-boom in the bedroom.’

The episode ended with Chris Laurita inviting Teresa and Joe over to dinner - with a sneak peek making to clear the two women get into a fight again about Teresa’s crimes and the way she has owned up to them.

Jacqueline had made no secret of her feelings towards her former friend, admitting earlier: ‘I feel like Teresa 2.0 is just a publicity stunt because she’s fresh out of jail. It’s only a matter of time - the mask falls off eventually.’
