Real Housewives of New Jersey Star, Teresa Giudice isn’t known for being the sharpest knife in the drawer, but even the dim-witted Jersey girl can’t claim that she didn’t realize her comments on this week’s episode of RHONJ may have been offensive.

When asked about how she and husband, Joe Giudice are keeping their marriage in tact during their most recent financial crisis, Teresa responded with, what sounded like, a backhanded anti-Semetic remark.

Some of my Jewish friends are all ‘I would have divorced him in a second.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah? What would that have done?’ That’s what a marriage is all about. That’s what family is all about. We’re gonna get through this.

While her sentiments regarding the sanctity of marriage are refreshing, I feel like there could’ve been a way to express her beliefs without offending an entire people group.  After catching some pretty harsh backlash as a result of her remarks, Giudice took to her blog to attempt to explain why she said, what she said.

Some of my friends have told me they would have left Joe if they were me…  I was trying to explain myself without calling anyone out specifically, and the way I described them to keep them anonymous was ’Jewish.’ They are Jewish, but being Jewish has nothing to do with why they would have left Joe. Their religion had nothing to do with the story, I was just trying to explain myself and not use anyone’s name, and my words got all jumbled. I’m so sorry if I offended anyone, but that’s not what I meant at all.

Sorry, but I don’t buy it.  This is coming from the same woman whose daughter said she would “never date a Jewish boy.” on national television.  According to Giudice,

I can’t control what my daughter says… Kids say dumb things … what, am I going to be crucified for it?

Nice word choice, Teresa.
