Joe Giudice has reacted to a recent episode of Investigation Discovery’s Hollywood Demons in which his ex-wife, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice, was blamed for the time they spent in prison.

As a clip of Caroline Manzo, 63, denying her alleged role in their incarceration resurfaced, announcing she’d been “vindicated,” Joe, 52, wrote a couple of comments on a TikTok post about the matter, suggesting that Jonathan Larsen, the IRS’s northern area field operations director and criminal investigator, was “not even real.”

“Full of sh*t,” Joe commented on the above TikTok video, as a screenshot of Joe’s comments seen in a joint post shared by Bambi and StillTreFab on Instagram.

“Not even real agents that’s a made up vidio [sic] get a job none of that is true,” he added.

On their episode of Hollywood Demons, Jonathan had revealed that case agents of IRS Criminal Investigation were alerted to potential crimes by Teresa, 52, and Joe after watching an episode of RHONJ in 2012 that featured the mother of four spending a significant amount of cash.

“We identified one loan application way before the TV show. She supplied pay stubs. That job did not exist. She had applied for another mortgage, and this time she claimed she was a realtor making $15,000 a month, and when in fact it was totally fabricated,” he shared of Teresa. “After the first season here in New Jersey, Teresa and Joe filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but they claimed that they were earning less than what they actually were.”

“In addition, Joe and Teresa had not filed a tax return for at least eight years, from 2000 to 2008,” he added.

As for the resurfaced clip, that featured an interview between Caroline and Andy Cohen, 56, in which Caroline admitted that she didn’t think Teresa and Joe would’ve gone to prison if it weren’t for the show.

It also showcased a flashback scene from RHONJ in which Caroline declared, “Prediction: Something may happen where maybe someone has to go somewhere.”

But while Teresa said, “I think definitely her hand was in the cookie jar,” Caroline insisted she “didn’t know” what was going to happen to Teresa and Joe.

“That’s the thing. Teresa likes to say that I knew or that I was part of it, which is even crazier. How could I know something like that? I only watch behavior,” she explained to Andy in the interview. “I think she resents that a lot of things in her life that she thinks I was part of … I’ve heard it said that I called the IRS on her. My God. My God, who could do that in good conscience to someone? She’s got little children.”

“I think Teresa’s problem with me is I’m her truth, and sometimes you can’t handle that,” Caroline concluded. 

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently on pause.
