Teresa Guidice’s Namaste B$tches podcast abruptly ended in April, leaving fans completely in the dark about the status of the series.

Bravo bloggers have been speculating for months that Teresa had a falling out with her co-host, Melissa Pfeister — and the rumors only intensified when the two unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Teresa, 52, all but confirmed Namaste B$tches was kaput last week when she launched her own solo podcast, Turning The Tables, while Melissa, 42, also has her own podcast called Side Piece.

Now, Melissa has spoken to DailyMail.com about the end of Namaste B$tches and how she’s moving forward without Teresa.

“When it comes to the podcast, people have made up some pretty terrible lies about him and me,” she said.

Melissa Pfeister, co-host of Teresa Guidice’s Namaste B$tches podcast (both pictured), spoke out after their podcast ended — and their friendship ended.
The couple previously hosted Namaste B$tches, which was one of the most successful Real Housewives-related podcasts.

“The truth is I spent over two years of my life, with two kids under six, having another podcast (Side Piece) and being a nutritionist with my own business, creating and building Namaste B$tches,” she continued.

“I worked on it 24/7 and after all that, I would never do anything to ruin it or take it out on anyone. It’s not who I am or how I ride. You can ask any of the more than 150 people I’ve interviewed and with whom I have an extraordinary relationship.

“On top of all that, I’m pregnant and the pregnancy has been very difficult so with all that, it was time to take a break from Namaste.”

Melissa added cryptically, “I could say a lot more about the other reasons I walked away, but again, that’s not who I am or what I do.”

DailyMail.com has contacted Teresa and Hurrdat Media, the production company behind Namaste B$tches, for comment.

Melissa and Teresa have refused to publicly share details of their argument, but various Bravo fans and bloggers have pointed out that the two no longer follow each other on social media.

“I was waiting for this breakup to happen. Sorry, I’m not surprised at all,” one fan commented.

Another wrote: “I listened to two episodes. I’m surprised it lasted this long – it was horrible!’

“I’m pregnant and the pregnancy was very difficult so with all that going on it was time to take a break from Namaste,” she told DailyMail.com
Teresa was known for wearing Namaste B$tches products on episodes of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Last December, Melissa tragically revealed that she suffered her third miscarriage while attending Bravocon with Teresa last November.

In a social media post at the time, Melissa wrote: “I kept a smile on my face. It was also extremely difficult because most were accompanied by their spouse or partner, friends or family members… I was there all alone.

She added: “Experiencing that and not being able to talk to anyone about it, well, once I got home I just continued not talking about it or trying to think about it.”

“But then I realized I would be lying to everyone on podcasts by not being open and honest, which is the whole point of doing Side Piece & Namaste B$tches in the first place.”

Namaste B$tches has been one of the most successful Real Housewives-related podcasts in recent years.

This led to a merch line – which Teresa regularly wore on The Real Housewives of New Jersey – and a live show.

Teresa’s rumored falling out with Melissa is just the latest in a long line of broken relationships the reality star has left in her wake.

Italian author Skinny is currently feuding with half of the current RHONJ cast, including Rachel Fuda, Margaret Josephs and her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga.

She’s also at odds with Danielle Cabral, who accused Teresa and Jennifer Aydin of “tricking” her into revealing a damaging rumor on camera last season.

The casting drama comes amid speculation that The Real Housewives of New Jersey could end soon.

Although the hit Bravo reality show has never been short on drama, this latest season has proven to be more turbulent than ever — reaching a climax earlier this month when host and executive producer Andy Cohen confirmed that the upcoming reunion had been scrapped for the first time. moment in the history of the series.

The announcement comes after Teresa and Melissa Gorga refused to speak to each other while filming the current season — a dynamic Cohen called “unsustainable.”

Viewers will get to see the feuding sisters-in-law on screen one last time in this season’s finale, which Dolores Catania described as being so chaotic that it ended “a lot of relationships” in the series.

“It’s definitely closure for people, and you can’t take back what you’re going to see in the finale. No taking back,” she told Us Weekly.

Meanwhile, Andy described it as ‘The Last Supper’ – potentially a grim prediction of what could lie ahead for today’s stars.

“I think the main thing is that it will all make sense once you see the final. It’s one of those classic Jersey finals that people will be talking about for a long time,” he revealed on Radio Andy’s Reality Checked.
