It seemed as if Teresa Giudice had admitted to cheating on her husband of 20 years, Joe Giudice when the new trailer for season 10 of the Real Housewives Of New Jersey aired on Wednesday.
In the clip, the mother-of-four says she has ‘hooked up with’ another man and then shows her co-stars a photo of the man without a shirt on.
But according to Teresa’ lawyer, the star was only showing a photo of Tony who she romanced in high school and has stayed friends with.
Honest approach: Teresa Giudice talks about a man she hooked up with in a preview for season 10 of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey. But her lawyer clarified the hook up happened in high school
The new man: The 47-year-old TV star shares this photo from her phone to her co-stars; his name is Tony and he is a longtime friend of the family
‘The clip in the newer supertease is Teresa, her brother and a lifelong friend named Tony talking about Teresa and Tony kissing when they were in high school more than 25 years ago,’ James Leonard Jr. told Us Weekly.
Now Giudice feels ‘very hurt’ by the editing, according to an Us source.
And it comes at a very bad time in her life as she is ‘trying to keep her family together and work on her marriage.’
Good ole Tony: Later she meets up with Tony as well as her brother Joe Gorga
In the past, the 47-year-old TV star, who was incarcerated herself for over a year, has adamantly denied that she has cheated on her husband of 20 years.
Many times she has been pictured with other men but she has always said that they were just friends.
And Tony seems to be just another friend.
Together Joe and Teresa have four daughters: Gia, 18, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 14, and Audriana, 10.

In the new teaser, Teresa complains to costar Jennifer Aydin about her marriage to Joe, who is currently living in Italy.
When asked if she is still in love with Joe she said, ‘I don’t know.’
The raven-haired beauty then tells her sister in law Melissa Gorga more.
‘I haven’t been happy in so long,’ she admits. ‘And I just want to be happy again. I feel like I’m living the worst nightmare ever.’
‘Teresa, she doesn’t know if she’s coming or going,’ Melissa says in a voiceover. ‘She doesn’t know if she’s going to be staying married to someone or not.’
Stunned: Later she tells co-star Danielle Staub she wants an escape. And adds she feels like ‘drinking a bottle of tequila every night’
Not interested: In the past Teresa has said that if Joe was deported she would ‘not be doing a long-distance relationship’

‘Teresa’s a mess,’ Dolores Catania, 48, says. ‘There is so much stress in that house.’
Aydin, 42, calls her ‘a ticking time bomb.’

‘He’s the one I hooked up with,’ says Teresa after showing her co-stars a photo of a shirtless man on her cell phone.
Her brother Joe Gorga then talks to Teresa and the man who seems to be the same man from the picture.
‘Were you guys messing around?’ asks her over-protective brother.
So sad: Daughter Gia says that she is not sure she is ready to let go as she tears up
‘We might have kissed,’ Tony admits.
It’s never made clear in the clip that they hooked up decades ago, if Teresa’s lawyer is accurate.
Some of her co-stars are seen coming down hard on Teresa.
Margaret Josephs, 52, strikes out the hardest.

Also in the clip, Teresa is seen getting livid at a friend (‘Shut up b****’) who accused her of being reckless.
Teresa explains if you keep poking a bear, the bear will explode.
Another another star says that she has gone from ‘namaste to nasty.’
She is also told she is the ‘worst f***ing mother’ and is seen walking off the set.
