Jacqueline Laurita on Teresa Giudice’s Marriage: ‘If She Can Get Through Joe Calling Her a C-Word, They’ll Make It Work’

USmagazine.com:

In it for the long haul! The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Jacqueline Laurita spoke exclusively with Us Weekly and revealed why she believes her frenemy Teresa Giudice will never divorce her now-incarcerated husband, Joe Giudice. 

“Knowing Teresa with everything that they’ve been through already, I think that she has a thick skin and I think that they will stay together,” Laurita, 46, told Us at a Real Housewives of New Jersey season 7 premiere party at Molos Restaurant in Weehawken, New Jersey, Sunday, July 10.


Despite speculation that Teresa, 44, was planning on splitting from Joe, 44, after he entered New Jersey’s Fort Dix Correctional Institution on March 23 for a 41-month prison sentence for tax fraud, Laurita said that she feels the Giudices’ marriage is unbreakable. 

The mom of Ashlee, 25, Christopher, 14, and Nick, 7, pointed out that if Teresa stayed with her Italian-born hubby after he infamously called her a “c--t” on-camera in 2012, then a nearly four-year stint in the slammer shouldn’t affect their nearly 17-year union. (Teresa completed an 11-month sentence for fraud last December.)

“I think that if she can get through our fights and Joe calling her a C-word, I think that they’re going to make it work,” Laurita, who is still working to repair her fraught friendship with Tre, said to Us. “I think she’ll take anything at this point!”
