Teresa Giudice and Jeff Lewis addressed their apparent tension during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
Cohen asked the pair about their relationship during the WWHL 15th Anniversary Special, to which Lewis responded, “We’re good, right?” attempting to downplay any conflict.
Giudice, however, wanted to clarify the situation, explaining that Lewis had apologized to her for something he said. She expressed her confusion as to why he made the comment in the first place if he didn’t mean it.
Lewis affirmed that he did mean his apology, but Giudice’s interpretation created an awkward exchange. She asked him to explain his reasons for apologizing, putting him on the spot.

Cohen attempted to diffuse the situation, while Real Housewives of New York City alum Sonja Morgan lightened the mood with a humorous comment, seemingly telling Lewis to “get on your knees.” Giudice was seen laughing along.
Lewis reiterated his apology, stating that he was wrong and meant no disrespect. The exact nature of their conflict remains unclear, but it may be related to Lewis’ recent comments on the “Two Ts In a Pod” podcast, where he weighed in on Giudice’s feud with her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga.
Lewis had stated that he would probably let Giudice go if given the choice between her and Gorga, which may have contributed to the tension between them. The ongoing feud between Giudice and Gorga has been a significant source of drama on RHONJ, with the two refusing to film together for season 14.
Cohen also confirmed that the traditional reunion format would not be possible for this season of RHONJ due to the fractured relationships within the cast. Instead, they are exploring alternative ways to wrap up the season.
