“My dream is that our children have seen us through the years and are as happy in their marriages thank you for always loving me. #marriage #couples #rhonj,” she concluded her caption.
“What is happening off-camera on social media is absolutely disgusting and is fueled by toxic people who are not affiliated with the show or the cast and are only interested in promoting themselves by spreading their hate through false narratives and lies,” the former bodybuilder began.
“It’s affected all of us cast members and our families,” she continued. “They’re attacking our children, they’re attacking our businesses, and they’re turning something that’s supposed to be entertainment into something very dark and toxic.”
“This hate and toxicity needs to stop. I ask everyone to stop showing negativity towards my cast mates and all of our families. Enough is enough. I love you, I love you, I love you, Teresa.”
