Teresa Giudice slammed Margaret Josephs’ appearance — again — during part one of the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” Season 13 reunion Tuesday.
During a heated discussion, Josephs condescendingly called Giudice’s fandom “Tre Stumps” — although they typically go by the name “Tre Huggers” on social media.
The “Turning the Tables” author, 51, perceived the comment to be a dig about her looks and shot back at the fashion designer, “Look at how you look!” with a face of disgust.
Josephs, 56, then clarified, “I’m not calling you a tree stump” and rolled her eyes.

“I just wasn’t feeling my best self. I was feeling tired and sluggish. I struggled to find energy in the way I had in the past. I was dealing with some brain fog.”
However, Josephs noted that it wasn’t about being “fat or skinny” for her but rather she wanted to get “every aspect of [her] wellness coming together.”
