Teresa Giudice wanted former co-star to team up to stay on the show

“None of this comes across as real and as much as she claims not to be desperate, it really smells like someone who is,” the insider continued.

“It also speaks volumes about how little she really thinks about Joe and Melissa, that they were really the last on her list of people to ‘make up with’,” she added. “At the end of the day, the person Teresa cares about most is Teresa. And she will do whatever she feels she has to do to maintain her relevance and potential place on the show.”

If RadarOnline.com reported, even when Giudice and Joe sit down, the interaction is not intended to be filmed.

“Producers have said they have no interest in documenting Teresa and Joe’s attempt to reconcile,” a source previously said.

“This is a storyline production that has made it clear they are not interested in capturing,” they reiterated.

“Of course, if Joe and Teresa eventually make up and are in a good place, it’s possible that production could make it fun to have them both back on the show, and then fans could see their rekindled relationship.”
