Teresa Giudice shows off toned figure in a cut-out swimsuit

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice is on vacation in Puerto Rico with her 48-year-old husband Luis Ruelas.

She was celebrating her 51st birthday which fell on May 18. 

The TV star has been modeling several stunning swimsuits from Nua Swim. 

The pinup was seen in a leopard print bikini then a metallic one piece with a web design on her chest, and also a cut-out yellow bathing suit.  

This comes after she had an explosive reunion with her Real Housewives Of New Jersey cast mates on Tuesday.

Guidice accused Melissa Gorga of being responsible for putting her in prison on Tuesday’s first part of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey reunion on Bravo.

‘I want everybody to hear this because we’re bringing this all out because this is over after today,’ said Teresa, 51, while wearing a sleeveless golden gown. ‘I’m never going to look at your face again.’

‘Bye bye,’ Melissa, 44, said.

‘Yeah, because I learned so much, Jacqueline [Laurita] told me so much s*** that you and my brother were doing,’ said Teresa, referencing her former rival.

‘I haven’t seen her in 10 years,’ protested Melissa, wearing a blue sequined dress with a plunging neckline.

‘Jacqueline told me you know Joe’s ex-partner, he didn’t go to jail because he outed me,’ Teresa said. ‘And they are hanging out with him.’

Melissa laughed.

‘I don’t even know Joe Giudice’s ex-partner!’ Melissa declared.

‘Yes, you do,’ Teresa said.

Melissa noted that Teresa previously accused Caroline Manzo, 61, of putting her in prison after pleading guilty to federal fraud charges.

‘No, I take that back,’ Teresa said. ‘I think you did.’

‘Oh, my God,’ Melissa gasped.

Melissa revealed that she finally moved into her new house and then Teresa moved two doors down from her old house. 

When one viewer asked Teresa why she publicly shamed Melissa’s daughter Antonia for not attending her daughter’s sweet 16, Teresa said she shouldn’t have answered because it was a ‘ set up question.’

‘I would never throw your child under the bus like that,’ Melissa said.

‘My kids do not have hate in their heart,’ Teresa said.

Teresa pointed out that her brother Joe Gorga, 43, only came to visit her once when she was in prison.

‘He wasn’t on the list, Teresa until it was going to benefit you for the Teresa Checks In (TV special),’ Melissa said. ‘Then he was suddenly on the list.’

‘She lies,’ Teresa said, ‘I’m tired of your lies. I’ve been sticking up for myself. I’ve covered for you the past 10 years.’

‘Not me,’ Melissa said.

Melissa said in reality that she and her husband have had Teresa’s back for the last 20 years.

‘You got your man and now we are pieces of s***’ Melissa said.

Meanwhile, her Bravo show has been put ‘on pause.’

The future of the Bravo show is currently at a standstill due to the feud between Giudice and her sister-in-law Melissa, according to Page Six. 

The women — who screamed at each other on the season finale —  are said to be ‘legitimately estranged’ according to sources, with the network unsure on how to proceed.

None of the cast mates have been offered contracts for the next season according to the publication, and nobody has been fired at this time. There is currently no date for Season 14 to begin filming. 

Giudice and Gorga had a huge argument while filming the season 13 finale because of rumors that Melissa cheated on her husband — Teresa’s brother Joe Gorga — and kissed longtime friend Nick Barrotta. Their spat caused Melissa and Joe to skip Teresa’s wedding to husband Luis ‘Louie’ Ruelas.

According to insiders filming was set to resume in June following Giudice’s wedding to Ruelas and the upcoming Season 13 reunion.

However, the showrunners reportedly informed the cast that filming would not be taking place.

In fact, the last update the cast received was that filming might not even begin until 2024. 

‘No official decisions on Season 14 have been made as the finale, Teresa and Louie’s wedding special and the reunion episodes have yet to air,’ an insider added. 

Due to the pause many of the women have started to plan out their summer vacations. 

Insiders say that opinions on the pause are divided, with some women worried about taking a financial hit due to not filming, and others happy about a break. 

Season 13 of the reality show, which is still currently airing, stars Giudice, Gorga, Jennifer Aydin, Margaret Josephs, Danielle Cabral, Dolores Catania and Rachel Fuda. 

The publication also noted that the Season 13 reunion – which was filmed last month — was rough, and that Giudice was ‘completely unhinged’ and ‘out of control’ during the sit-down.

A source added she was ‘nastier than ever’ and ‘cursing’ a lot. 

Following the reunion host Andy Cohen admitted he ‘lost his s**t’ at Teresa during the heated episode – but later apologized.

‘The level of, I won’t even say vitriol, I will say, hate Teresa and Melissa [have] … I mean the gloves are off,’ the Bravo personality, 54, recalled on an episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live.

‘I’ve never seen anything like it, and the way the two of them were going back and forth,’ he added. 

‘There was a moment where I turned to Teresa — I apologized to her later — I didn’t yell at her, but I think I lost my s***t with her in a way that I haven’t, maybe, ever,’ he said.

The Watch What Happens Live host didn’t go into detail about what exactly happened but he alluded to the fact that there was a ‘ton of new allegations’ and ‘new material to get into’ and Teresa would not stop bickering with her sister-in-law.

Meanwhile on the season finale Melissa declared that she wasn’t going to Giudice’s wedding after they screamed at each other.

The reality star yelled at Teresa at an Irish-themed party after learning that a cheating rumor about her was still circulating.

Show newcomer Danielle Cabral, 37, finally shared the rumor with Melissa after learning about it from Jennifer Aydin, 46, during a group trip to Ireland to celebrate Teresa’s imminent wedding to Luis.

‘I’ve already heard this story, and do you wanna know how?,’ Melissa said.

‘Tell me,’ Danielle said.

‘Through my husband. Do you wanna know how I heard it through my husband? ‘Cause his sister called him over to his house secretly, without me, to tell him this story behind my back,’ Melissa said referencing her husband Joe.

In a confessional, Melissa explained how six months ago Joe was summoned by Teresa and Louie because they heard a rumor about her and believed it so much they had to call him over.

‘How dare you tell my husband that I would cheat on him,’ Melissa said to the camera.

As the episode resumed at the party, Melissa told Danielle, ‘Pretty f***ed up sister-in-law I have, isn’t it?’

Melissa told Danielle that they should have told her and Joe about the rumor and noted that she’s been accused of being a stripper and gold digger and ‘doing stuff in parking lots before.’

‘I had no intention on confronting her about this ’cause Joe doesn’t believe it, it’s bulls***, and because I wanted to let her have a peaceful six months leading up to her wedding,’ Melissa said in a confessional.

Melissa who previously admitted she was considering boycotting the wedding told Danielle that ‘half the reason’ Joe can’t look Teresa in the eyes was ‘because she called him over to her house that day.’

Later Joe in a confessional said they told him about the rumor and Louie suggested there were ‘multiple men’.

‘I’m sitting there as they’re telling me, basically, to, like, leave Melissa. Then a couple days after, Gia calls me up. And she’s like, “You know, I heard what happened. We just think that you can do better. Mommy thinks so, we all do.” So I said to myself, am I around people that love me or people that wanna hurt me? It’s a f***ed up situation,’ Joe said referencing Teresa’s eldest daughter Gia.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey can be seen on Bravo Tuesdays at 9/8c.
