Two weeks after fans called her out for wearing Balenciaga, Teresa Giudice addressed her faux-pas in her podcast “Namaste B$tches.” The housewife explained that she didn’t know about the Balenciaga controversy because she was vacationing in Paris. “Usually when I go on vacation, I check out of social media completely, so I had no idea. So I brought a sweater that I totally forgot that I had from like last year, and never wore it. And I brought it because I heard it was chilly there in Paris.”
Giudice went on to say that her husband, Luis Ruelas, posted a picture on Instagram of her wearing the Balenciaga sweater and soon received a host of negative feedback slamming her for supporting the brand. “He was reading the comments and he’s like, ‘Babe, something happened to Balenciaga,’ and I’m like, ‘Really? What?’ So I had no idea and then I guess Luis looked more into it and he took it down. He didn’t feel comfortable with it being up and I was fine with it.” She then apologized on the podcast for wearing the label and chalked it up to being “checked out” from the rest of the world.
