“We lost everything in ’08 — we couldn’t even buy diapers when we were buying our house,” the 37-year-old mom of three tells the group. “And he sent me out of Costco because my Costco card was expired, and you needed 50 dollars to renew it. I called him on the phone, I’m like, ‘Joe, it’s a $50 [fee].’ He’s like, ‘Come back out.’ Like, I came back out of the store, and we drove home.”

At that, Teresa adds that she has had other friends approach her and ask if she’s planning to divorce husband Joe Giudice.
