Revealed: Teresa Giudice’s ‘Threats’ to Specific House of Villains Cast Members

Teresa Giudice is shedding light on her experience in the upcoming season of House of Villains and the reasons behind her bold tactics with some of her co-stars.

The 52-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star is set to compete in the second season of the reality show, which brings together a cast of infamous reality TV personalities, each vying for a $200,000 cash prize and the title of “America’s Ultimate Supervillain.” This season, Giudice faces off against notable names like Tiffany “New York” Pollard from The Flavor of Love, Kandy Muse from RuPaul’s Drag Race, and Wes Bergmann from The Challenge, among others.

In a recent interview, Giudice discussed her approach to the competition and how she embraced her villainous side. “When I’m pushed to be a villain, I become one,” she told People. Her strategy? “I only threatened certain people that I knew I had to. It went by the vibe. That was my strategy,” she revealed.

The trailer for the new season showcases some of the tension, including a confrontation between Giudice and Tiffany Pollard, as well as a fiery exchange with Janice Dickinson, who made a dramatic entrance during one of the episodes.

Despite her extensive background in reality TV, having been a staple on The Real Housewives of New Jersey since it premiered in 2009, Giudice admitted that some of her fellow competitors posed a challenge. One contestant, in particular, caught her attention: Wes Bergmann, known for his strategic gameplay and three wins on The Challenge.

“He definitely knows how to play the game, and he’s definitely strategic,” Giudice shared, adding that she had initial reservations about him. “At first, I was like, ‘I’m not going to vibe with this guy,’ because I like friendly people. He wasn’t friendly at first. It took him a little while to warm up, but then I have to say, he became a Housewife,” she admitted with a laugh.

In the end, the Skinny Italian author found herself learning from Bergmann, despite their rocky start. “I learned a lot from him,” she acknowledged.

House of Villains season two is set to premiere on October 9 at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo, just as The Real Housewives of New Jersey takes a break after its tumultuous last season. The show’s return isn’t expected until 2025.

A source told DailyMail.com over the summer, “There are not going to be any decisions about what will or won’t happen with the show until early next year. There is not going to be any more filming of RHONJ for the remainder of the year. It’s on ice.”

As House of Villains gears up to hit the screen, fans can look forward to seeing Teresa Giudice take on a new kind of challenge—one that may just prove she’s a villain worth rooting for.
