Teresa Giudice Explains Early Exit From 'Special Forces' Over Daughter's Fight

She describes a difficult emotional comedown following her withdrawal from the military-style competition.

Overview

  • Giudice says she quit when Gia was set to box U.S. soccer veteran Christie Pearce Rampone, refusing to watch her daughter get punched.
  • She recalls crying through the night, on the trip home, and until Gia returned, noting that husband Luis Ruelas noticed a change in her.
  • After getting home, she briefly considered rejoining the show but decided her priority was setting an example as a mother.
  • She admits she did not properly prepare for the course, saying she failed to break in boots or train with a weighted vest despite 30-pound packs.
  • She says a staffer called her “stupid” and that she spoke up, and in a confessional she referenced a past violent reaction to an unfaithful ex.
