Drama's brewing on "Real Housewives of New Jersey." On Sunday's episode, Victoria Gotti dropped a bomb while having drinks with Teresa Giudice and Amber Marchese. The mafiosa wife told the ladies that Teresa Aprea's husband, Rino, had an affair with his mother-in-law (Teresa's mother Santa).
Gotti recalled the time she first met Rino three years ago and said that he started talking about his failed marriage to Aprea. At that time, the couple was divorced but remarried seven years after splitting.
"One night we were all out as a group in his restaurant. He started talking about his divorce and he tells me this crazy story," Gotti said. "He said, 'It's something that she will never forgive me for'... and I said, 'You cheated?'"
According to Gotti, the marriage didn't fall apart because of Rino's infidelity, but who he cheated with.
"I said, 'If the love is strong enough she'll get over it' and he went, 'No.' I went, 'So you cheated more than once?'" Gotti continued. "And he said, 'No, it's who I cheated with... her mother.'"
A source told Radar Online that the claims are "true" and reportedly it wasn't a one-time deal.
"It happened a long time ago, but Rino and Santa did have sex," the source said. "And it happened more than once."
"Teresa's family is crazy and it shouldn't be shocking to anyone that knows them," the source added.
According to Radar, Santa is upset the alleged affair is now public and thinks she "has to go into hiding." The source also claims that Bravo producers plan to "fully exploit this tawdry affair."
During the episode, Aprea responded to Gotti's allegations on Instagram and denied that her husband slept with her mother.
"Ignore those people who are constantly talking about you behind your back because they are right where they belong," she posted.
Aprea also retweeted Twitter posts from fans who were skeptical about the affair.
"Could it be more obvious Victoria is irrelevant and waited 4 cameras? Real classy! What did your mom say?" one user posted.
"Rino slept with Teresa's mom and they moved past that and got remarried? And her parents got over it too? I'm calling B.S. #RHONJ," another fan commented.
