We Real Housewives fans have known for a while now that Teresa Giudice of the New Jersey sect will do just about anything for money -- she's got four mouths to feed, piles of alleged debt, and a husband whose mental prowess includes drinking and driving and carrying a false I.D. We've seen Teresa hawk everything from cookbooks to clothes to teeth whitening strips to a Bellini mixture, but now she's stooped even lower. In Touch reportedly paid Teresa $6,500 to write apologies to her cast mates, which were then published in the magazine.
I guess it really is true, Teresa really will do anything to get paid. When you start accepting cash to admit you're wrong, all scruples have gone out the window.
Not surprisingly, Caroline Manzo isn't buying it, and I can't blame her. Would you accept an apology from someone who was incentivized by money to do so? I didn't think so. Any admission of wrongdoing has to come from the heart, and not from the glossy pages of some celebrity magazine, or else newsflash! It's considered insincere. And the fact that she was paid over 6 grand is just insult to injury.

I'm sure the other N.J. housewives aren't surprised by Teresa's deal with In Touch -- if anyone knows just how cunning she can be, it's Caroline, Jacqueline, Kathy, and Melissa. And frankly, I don't think fans of the show are really all that taken aback by the paid apology news. We've all seen Teresa devolve over the seasons into a social pariah with two things on her mind, money and keeping up with appearances, so the fact that she sold an offering of remorse to a tabloid seems about right.
Hopefully this is as low as she'll go. I mean, what could be worse than selling a mea culpa? Oh my. If she starts selling off those kids one by one ...
What do you think of Teresa selling her "I'm sorry" to a magazine?

I think if Teresa wants or needs to capitalize off of her personal problems that is her prerogative. You stated "she's got four mouths to feed, piles of alleged debt, and a husband whose mental prowess includes drinking and driving and carrying a false I.D." With that being said, she should handle her business anyway that she see fit. I am definitely forming an opinion about your blogging topics and you are quite the little hater! You always seem to come down on afemale celebrities that aren't doing what everyone else is doing. The other cast members of RHONJ think they are better than her and so do you. Your blog would be dope if you were not so judgemental.
EVERY story is paid for. When Melissa is getting paid or her sisters are getting paid, why does no one care? As Dina said, mama didn't raise no fool! Is Caroline(whom she was never really friends with) just mad because she isn't raking in the mula?
:) This story proves that the haters love to hate! :)
So IMHO, POWER TO THE TRE for making money for herself and for her girls!
@ MoonGoon: You said that way better than I did!! :) I completely agree with you!
I usually like the articles here on "The Stir" , but not this one :) Probably just cause you are calling out one of my all time favs--Teresa. Anyway, first of all you say "reportedly" InTouch paid her---reported by whom? Kim G? LOL This sounds like something she'd say! And second of all, Teresa not only apologized in the mag, she apologized for real--we saw it on the last episode, plus she sort-of apologized to Caroline in the episode the week before. How many times does she have to say it????? Come on, give the girl a break already!
Unfortunatly, voicing your opinion and/or saying what everyone is thinking is now "hating". I'm with you, Lindsay. I agree that getting paid to apologize is pretty low.
