Joe Giudice seems to be happier than ever without Teresa Giudice. Their marriage certainly had its moments, and both parents clearly still love their kids. Nevertheless, divorce was probably the best thing for them.
Unfortunately, most Real Housewives of New Jersey fans didn’t love Teresa’s course of action post-divorce. She split from a convicted felon only to move on and marry an alleged criminal.
Luis Ruelas has not made a good impression on RHONJ fans. Arguably, Luis shares a great deal of blame in Teresa’s current public image. Perhaps it’s a good thing Joe got out when he did, considering the current conversations around Teresa and Luis.
Could Teresa learn a lesson from Joe Giudice?
On September 5, Joe posted a photo of a pickup truck to his Instagram story. The back of the truck saw vinyl that read, “NO WIFE HAPPY LIFE.” Hard to imagine that Joe wouldn’t be living his best life, especially compared to Tre right now. He served his time and now he mostly flies under the radar. Perhaps the lesson here is to stay out of the spotlight.
That’s not to say Joe is entirely blameless – or even a good person necessarily. Such judgments rest on the court of public opinion. Still, he’s got his own problems. However, since he’s not broadcasting himself as Teresa and Luis do, he draws less ire. He just focuses on those who still care to keep up with his life.
Some reality stars certainly make it work. They present themselves as likable while still entertaining audiences across the country. But the likes of Luis and Teresa? Well, the viewership last season sent them the clearest message possible. Perhaps the best thing they can do is step away and focus on their dwindling base while they still have it.
Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock.
