Somehow, a bottle of Johnnie Walker turned into the biggest hot topic on the latest episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Teresa Giudice tried to give the bottle to Joe Gorga as a housewarming gift, but because of their ongoing feud, she didn’t want to give it to them directly. She had Dolores Catania deliver it to the party after Rachel Fuda refused to do it.
Although Teresa wrapped up the bottle with a nice card and a little bow on top, the gift was not well received. Joe threw the card into a firepit while Melissa Gorga stood there looking confused, frustrated, and everything in between. Why would Teresa give them a housewarming gift if she hates them so much? In a preview for RHONJ Season 14, Episode 8, Teresa tried her best to explain.
The Blue Label nobody wanted
In the upcoming episode, Teresa, Dolores, and Jennifer Aydin visited a healing meditation session where they discussed all of the messy housewarming party. Nothing says “healing” like reliving all of the fights that happened between your friends and family.
Regardless, Jen and Dolores broke the news about the poorly received housewarming gift. Teresa didn’t seem phased by the news. According to her, there wasn’t much meaning behind it.
“It wasn’t an olive branch,” Teresa clarified. “It was a gesture.”
Then, in a confessional interview, she explained that the “gesture” had nothing to do with her. It turns out it was Luis Ruelas’ idea. The card that ended up in the fire? He wrote that, too. Teresa was simply an unwilling observer.
“I don’t want to take the credit for that,” Teresa confessed. “It was all my husband.”
She continued, “I really didn’t want to send it. I’m not kissing anyone’s ass. I don’t want to make up with them.”
So, it turns out this whole housewarming mishap was all Luis’ fault. You can always count on him for a bright idea. Thanks, Luis.
