While the issue had died down, it’s now being rehashed by Giudice, possibly due to recent news surrounding Vergara.
Let’s delve into the details of this ongoing feud and what may have prompted Giudice to reignite it.
The Selfie Incident: A Recap
The ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ (RHONJ) star Teresa Giudice recounted the old story while talking to her co-host, Melissa Pfeister, on their podcast ‘Namaste B$tches.’
Presumably, this comes up again because of Vergara’s recent news regarding her divorce from Joe Manganiello, making Giudice feel it’s time to revisit the situation.
As Giudice explained back in 2017, the incident occurred at an event where both she and Sofia were present.
Their publicists suggested they take a picture together, but according to Giudice, Sofia threw a fit about it.
Giudice’s Accusations
In her recounting of the story, Giudice claims that Vergara was rude in expressing her dissatisfaction with the idea of taking a selfie together.
Apparently, Vergara questioned her publicist about why she would be asked to do this with Teresa.
This perceived lack of consideration evidently angered Giudice.
A Question of Humility
Furthering her critique, Giudice has repeatedly stated that Vergara should have been more amicable, especially considering her humble beginnings.
While her comments on the recent podcast were not as explicitly xenophobic as in 2017, she again alluded to Sofia’s immigrant background and even made fun of her Colombian accent.
She seems to think that because Vergara is from Latin America, there should be an extra layer of humility in her interactions with American stars.
