Jacqueline Laurita called Teresa Giudice the "c-word" on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. No, we're not talking about "See You Next Tuesday," but "criminal," a word Teresa still refuses to say. When she called husband Joe Giudice after the big Vermont sushi/chicken wings dinner blowout, she referred to "criminal" as "the c-word."

"I just don't like—I don't consider myself that…I don't even want to say that word," she told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live.

Teresa was sentenced for 15 months in prison after pleading guilty to federal fraud charges. Joe was sentenced to 41 months and is currently serving his time. And for the first time Joe is watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa revealed. "He never watched it home and now he's watching it there," she said.

While in prison, Teresa found yoga and told Andy she'd loved to make a yoga video. She revealed she is finishing up her yoga instructor certification after taking the summer off from classes.

"That's something I would buy," fellow Watch What Happens Live guest Mindy Kaling said.
