After being out-ed by fellow castmates as the mastermind behind destroying Melissa Gorga’s reputation, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice is speaking out and claiming that’s, once again, she’s the innocent victim.

According to Giudice’s BRAVO.com blog, she was absolutely floored when she discovered the other housewives were talking about her behind her back during last week’s RHONJ episode.

The whole time we were filming, I had no idea what other people were saying about me. I just assumed they were all my friends. That’s why you see me dancing around and trying to have fun in Punta Cana. It’s not until I watch the shows that I see all four of the other ladies having a go at me. On the show, I might talk about a certain incident and how I felt about it, but I don’t talk about personalities or their kids or how they spend their money, or how smart I think they are… I say, “She pissed me off, but I’m not going to let it bother me.” Cut to everyone else: “Teresa can’t be reasoned with, Teresa was dropped on her head as a baby,” all about my “character flaws” and how I didn’t “grow up,” how I’m “cuckoo.” I had no idea they were bashing me like that. Although, tell you the truth, even if I did, I wouldn’t do it back. I’m just not like that. It’s not fun to watch though.

C’mon Teresa – you’re surprised that a bunch of housewives on a reality TV show are talking about you behind your back?  Housewives do that even when there aren’t TV cameras around, so what do you expect form a bunch of biddies who are being paid to act like catty-you-know-whats?

Teresa also went on to clear the air regarding the allegations that she continues to take cheap shots at her sister-in-law.

And I do want to clear up something I said about Melissa. I only joked that her body was ‘On Display’ because during the performances she was touching herself “downtown,” and I was shocked. I wasn’t expecting that to be part of her choreography! It was just a joke. She did a great job. And I was so proud of my husband for congratulating her publicly.

Can we just pause here for a second and talk about Melissa Gorga’s performance of “On Display”?  How many times am I going to have to watch a mediocre performance by a Real Housewife before someone actually tells them that they CAN’T sing!?  Gyrating around on stage while your vocals are auto-tuned to death, is not impressive.

I’ve heard better vocal performances in my bathroom shower.

What was I talking about again?  Oh right, the gals of RHONJ are pissed at each other.  What else is new?
