Teresa Giudice Says She Never Threw the Sprinkle Cookies — And Names the Real Culprit

Fifteen years after one of reality TV’s most quoted feuds, Teresa Giudice is finally giving her side of the sprinkle cookie story. In a joint Us Weekly cover story with Melissa Gorga, Teresa insists she never threw out the store-bought cookies Melissa brought to Christmas in 2011. Instead, she says her ex-mother-in-law, Filomena Giudice, was the one who tossed them, and that she only quietly suggested Melissa buy pignoli cookies from a bakery rather than Corrado’s.

Melissa had her own receipts, noting that her father was the one who taught her to shop at Corrado’s. But the real twist is what came next: Melissa turned the insult into a bakery brand called Let’s Sprinkle, which just marked its one-year anniversary. As she put it, smart people build empires with the bricks other people throw at them.

The two have since turned the feud into a running joke, and with The Real Housewives of New Jersey returning for season 15 in December, the cookie discourse is about to heat up all over again. So who do you believe: Teresa, Filomena, or the version where nobody remembers the cookies correctly? Comment below.
