The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice is quite unhappy to be dealing with a new report from Life & Style magazine that accuses her husband Joe Giudice of carrying on an affair with their former nanny, Nicole Cemeilli.
The report suggests that Joe and Nicole were pictured together on April 22 in a secluded corner booth at New York City's Hurricane Club restaurant and the pair could barely keep their hands off of each other.
“I hear you're trying to get to the bottom of the 'mystery girl' Joe had drinks with in April?” Teresa writes in post on her personal blog title “Dear Tabloids…”
“Here's a simple idea: show me or Joe the picture and ask us. We could have easily told you it was one of our dear friends and a former employee of both of us that Joe was meeting to talk business. We've known her and her family since she was in high school. No secret. No mystery.”
Teresa told the magazine that she knew about Joe and Nicole meeting on April 22 and that it was just a typical business meal. To drive home the fact that their meal wasn’t a big deal, Teresa says she has meetings with men all of the time and points out that these “meetings and lunches” shouldn't stir cheating accusations.
“I'm also in business meetings and lunches and dinners with people of the opposite sex,” she writes. “Should I send you their photo before we go out so you're clear on that too? Or will you continue to make up stories about everyone we meet?
