The Real Housewives of New Jersey star appeared on the Monday, Nov. 28 episode of Costa’s show, Billy & Lisa in the Morning, when a tense conversation left the Boston radio host calling Giudice the “rudest person” he’s ever interviewed. The 50-year-old reality star dialed in to Monday’s show to promote an event she’s co-hosting in Lynn, Mass., but the conversation quickly turned sour after Costa brought up the 11 months she spent in prison back in 2015. “Teresa, we know you spent some time in prison, but you came out of prison and wrote a book—a bestseller—about your time in prison, and did it focus a lot on the food in prison?” Costa asked, per Page Six. The Dancing With the Stars alum then replied saying that she didn’t “want to talk about that,” and instead snapped, “I don’t know if you know this, but I’m a four-time New York Times bestselling author.” Costa, 69, assured Giudice he did know about her book success, before trying to turn around the tense conversation by pivoting to questions about her upcoming event instead. But in true RHONJ style, Giudice still had more to say about the heated discussion. “[We’re going to] have a good time, and it’s all about being positive, right? And not negative? You should learn some of that,” she told Costa, who responded, saying he would “work on that.” “I have a podcast called ‘Namaste Bitches,’ [and] you should listen to it and learn how to be a little more namaste,” Giudice added, before her rep cut her off and encouraged the radio hosts to stop by the upcoming event. “She was easily, hands down, the rudest person I’ve ever interviewed,” Costa said once the Bravo star hung up. “I don’t even want a coffee with Teresa Giudice,” he added, while also calling the TV personality an “idiot” and a “monster” after she “attacked” him. Another member of the radio show, Justin Aguirre, also chimed in to say that the question wasn’t supposed to be negative, telling Costa, “You said, ‘Yeah you did time in prison, but you got out, you wrote a successful book,’ which it was—a huge book.” Aguirre also added that they “stayed away” from the topics they were instructed not to ask about, including her estranged relationship with brother Joe Gorga and the backlash she’s been getting for wearing Balenciaga in light of recent controversy. While Giudice has yet to comment directly on the situation, her publicist and attorney James J. Leonard Jr. told Page Six, “I think Mr. Costa needs to work on being a bit more namaste like Teresa is—he seemed like he was looking for a confrontation or to have his moment.” “I would recommend he listen to Teresa’s podcast, ‘Namaste Bitches,’ so he can work on himself and learn how to properly treat guests on his show," Leonard added.
