Does Teresa Giudice have any regrets about losing it on Danielle Staub during Monday's The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion?
"Not at all," she told UsMagazine.com Wednesday at the opening night of My Big Gay Italian Wedding in NYC. "Danielle brought something up that had nothing to do with the show. I just told her, 'Do not bring up my family.' When she did, it just got heated really fast."

After Staub, 48, claimed Giudice, 38, didn't acknowledge the birth of one of her nephews, Giudice jumped off the couch and screamed two inches from Staub's face. In the process, she aggressively shoved host Andy Cohen.
"It was a normal reaction in that situation," Giudice told Us.

She said she would never lay a finger on Staub.
"I know that's what she wants," she told Us. "If I wanted to do it, I could have done it. But I didn't because that’s not my style."

Asked if she needs anger management classes, she simply laughed.
Caroline Manzo said she was "shocked" by Giudice's outburst, but she told Us her castmate "definitely had her reasons for doing what she did. I certainly don’t fault her, that was how she felt."

10TO: GRACIE MOE....IF YOU NEVER WATCHED THE SHOW, HOW WOULD YOU KNOW SHE HAD LITTLE GIRLS? Hmmmm?
This is scripted reality. Would you really watch a bunch of lovey dovey jersey housewives? Bravo told them what they wanted and the women ran with it. Totally bogus and stupid.
Whew wee. This was the craziest show ever! I don't even watch the show, but came across this train wreck while flipping channels & ended up watching til 1:30 am. That one, Theresa (with the super short forehead) is a wild woman. Not a good example for her poor little girls. Yipes !
I wonder if it's rigged for ratings? Either way, I like Teresa better than Danielle! I read that Teresa's sister in law is signing on to be on the show now. She's the one that had the nephew they were talking about. If they didn't get along I doubt she'd be on the show! Seems Danielle was trying to start more trouble.
This show needs to be taken off the air it is ridiculous and these people act like animals.
Just like a huge traffic accident, I had to look and see who did what to whom. I am so ashamed. I agree with Kim Hinkle, the Great Fear possessed Teresa and Teresa acted out. Teresa looked so foolish, so childish in that vid clip.
thank goodness they got rid of the awful colored text and font style! GO TERESA! I think the ladies(?) show great restraint in dealing with danielle. I would be in jail by now.
yes! danielle is frusterating to watch. i get headaches from yelling at her on the tv! i can even fathom having her doing and saying all of that to/about my me let alone MY FAMILY! danielle is delusional and no one can ever knock sense into her.
Teresa is too stupid to know how clueless she is.Great Fear is the only reason someone would react like an animal. She is too afraid all her and Joes lies will come out. Like he has a baby with anothe woman, outstanding warrents on his foul ass. These people are crimanls and Bravo did a poor job putting this cast together. If they bring back that ugly Teresa I will never watch again.Uneducated, the worst taste ever, bratty kids and that hairline makes her look like the animal she is.
Teresa reacted the way she did because she is seriously worried her family is coming apart. No surprised since they all have to air their dirty laundry on TV in front of millions for money. Money is what breaks marriages apart and money is what causes spousal affairs. Teresa must be really stupid to not know every cop has heard Joe's excuse for being drunk millions of times before. Having Teresa as a wife is like having a 5th daughter. She acts like a child and even her voice is childlike. I dont like Danielle either but Danielle wasnt the first to attack. Teresa and Jakie were itching to attack Danielle. Danielle may have her problems but she acted like a lady while the others acted like jackasses.
