Teresa Giudice hits back at claims RHONJ is filming without her as she twins with daughter Gia at premiere

Teresa Giudice turned heads as she hit the red carpet at the Special Forces: World's Toughest Test premiere, accompanied by her lookalike daughter, Gia Giudice.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 52, looked glamorous in a sleek black velvet pantsuit with a plunging neckline, while Gia, 24, dazzled in a chic cut-out gown that showed off her toned figure. 

The mother–daughter duo posed arm in arm, drawing attention for their striking resemblance.

While chatting with Entertainment Tonight, Teresa addressed swirling rumors that RHONJ was currently filming without her.

'Obviously they are not. Because if they were filming it would actually be out there. So it's just speculation, people putting stories out there,' she clarified.

Teresa went on to point out: 'Because if they were actually filming there would be actual pictures out there. Correct? Right, you know that would be a fact. It's just people putting out stories there.'

The mom-of-four warned fans not to 'believe anything you read, unless Bravo is saying it.'

Teresa also opened up about why she agreed to take on the grueling Fox reality competition, known for pushing celebrities to their mental and physical limits.

'Everyone says I am a strong person, so I wanted to test my limits,' she explained.

Gia revealed that when the opportunity was presented to them, she was the one who convinced her mom to sign on.

'When the opportunity got brought to both of us, I told her we needed to do it together,' Gia said, adding that her siblings were a little jealous of the experience. 

She even suggested Fox consider casting their father Joe Giudice and her sister Milania in a future season. 

As for what they learned about themselves participating in reality show, which uses modified versions of actual Special Forces training to challenge celebrities, Teresa said the experience 'changed' her.

Gia added: 'As much as it's physical, it's mental. You don't have to be the most physically fit person, but if you are weak mentally you will not survive this course. You will leave day one.'

Although Gia said she 'cried 90 percent of the time' and it really 'tested' her, she applauded herself for pushing through challenges and executing them 'perfectly.' 

Last month, Special Forces: World's Toughest Test unveiled its lineup of 18 celebrity contestants for season four, which premieres September 25 on Fox and Hulu. 

Fans were particularly stunned by the inclusion of disgraced actor Jussie Smollett.

The 43-year-old was convicted in 2021 of orchestrating a staged hate crime, but served only six days of a 150-day sentence before the Illinois Supreme Court reversed his conviction last fall.
