Bethenny Frankel Takes Back Slamming Teresa Giuidice; Talk Show Host Now Feels Bad For Real Housewives Of New Jersey Star After Calling Her Spending 'Negligent'

Bethenny Frankel Speaks Out About Teresa Giudice Again

Teresa Giudice Broke The Law While On Reality Television

Bethenny Frankel, who once slammed Teresa Giuidce for flaunting her illegal money on The Real Housewives of New Jersey and bringing the bad furtune to herself has now taken back her earlier statments. She now says she feels bad for Teresa and Joe Giudice and would not wish their misfortune on anybody.

Bethenny, a mother herself, felt bad about her previous comments about Teresa Giuidice and on Bravo's 'Watch What Hapens Live' Bethenny changed her tune. She said 'She wouldn't wish them on that' and 'it's a herendous situation to be going through.' This is very different from what Bethenny said earlier about Teresa and Joe Giudice. 

Bethenny Frankel slammed Teresa and Joe Giudice at the TCA tour panel at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills while promoting her new talk show. Bethenny said she felt no sympathy for the Giudices and thinks they are completely negligent for breaking the law in front on the cameras. Thouh Frankel expressed no remorse for Teresa and Joe, she did feel bad for Teresa's four innocent daughters.

"My first thought today was, 'Oh, if they weren't on reality TV, none of this would probably ever be exposed.' And it's just funny how certain people are [like a] moth to a flame. It's almost like -- not that you want to get caught -- but people who love to be in the spotlight often have a lot of skeletons in their closet. It's just an interesting thing."

"I haven't paid that much attention," Frankel explained of the Giudice's legal woes. "Do I feel sorry for them? No, I don't. Not so much, because it broke the law. You broke the law and you went on television. That's not really that smart."

But Frankel, a mother herself, did feel bad for Teresa's four daughters:

"I feel badly for them because they have kids," she explained, "and their kids didn't sign up for this." 

Teresa and Joe Giudice are not just having legal problems, but they could also loose their reality show, The Real Housewives Of New Jersey. Though Bravo thrives on drama, the kind of spectacle surrounding Teresa and Joe is not positive and Bravo is becoming fed up with Giudice antics.

Bravo executives are debating the future of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," on which Teresa is the focal point of the drama. The bad publicity by Teresa and husband Joe has been a nuisance for the Network.

Bravo may also have to get involved with Giudice legal woes.

"Employees filming for Bravo can certainly be called as witnesses to establish that the Giudices were perhaps making large purchases in cash during the time of the bankruptcy," New Jersey-based attorney Darren Del Sardo explained. "The network could also be called as a witness to support an increase of anticipated income paid by Bravo to Teresa that was not disclosed in her bankruptcy filing. In addition, they could be asked questions regarding the Giudices' business operations that Bravo followed at the time of the filing."

Teresa and Joe Giudice, who star in "The Real Housewives of New Jersey", are accused of 39 counts of fraud. They included bank fraud, bankruptcy fraud, and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud. Joe is also accused of failing to file tax returns for 2004 through 2008.

The Giudices, who live in Montville Township, N.J., are facing charges of exaggerating their income while applying for loans before their reality TV show debuted.

The duo also had their travel restricted to New Jersey and New York and had to surrender their passports.

The pattern of alleged fraud may have lasted a decade, ," U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said.

"They're serious charges," he said.

 "They are alleged to have made false statements to the bankruptcy court and the banks that lent them money," Fishman told press.

They also failed to file tax returns from 2004-2008.

In a statement, Teresa Giudice discussed the charges.

"I support Joe and, as a wonderful husband and father, I know he wants only the best for our lovely daughters and me," she said. "I am committed to my family and intend to maintain our lives in the best way possible, which includes continuing my career. As a result, I am hopeful that we will resolve this matter with the government as quickly as possible."
