"Real Housewives of New Jersey&amp;apos;s Teresa Giudice doesn&amp;apos;t always get the words&amp;#xA0;out right.  On the show, she mispronounced the word for the spice &amp;quot;cumin&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;and referred to a &amp;quot;Nor&amp;apos;easter&amp;quot; storm as a &amp;quot;Norwegian.&amp;quot;\r\nBut on Sunday&amp;apos;s new episode of the Bravo hit, the 39-year-old cookbook&amp;#xA0;author and mother of four made a potentially offensive, anti-Semitic remark.\r\n\r\nAs her husband Joe dealt with a huge financial crisis and court case -- Joe&amp;#xA0;was on the hook for $260,000 after forging his business partner&amp;apos;s signature,&amp;#xA0;forcing the family to claim bankruptcy -- Teresa insisted that she wouldn&amp;apos;t&amp;#xA0;divorce her man over the scandal.\r\nShe added, &amp;quot;Some of my Jewish friends are all  &amp;apos;I would have divorced him in a second.&amp;apos; I&amp;apos;m like, &amp;apos;Yeah? What would that have done?&amp;apos; That&amp;apos;s what a marriage is all about. That&amp;apos;s what family is all about. We&amp;apos;re gonna get through this.&amp;quot;\r\nWas the reality star&amp;apos;s remark out of line?  A spokesperson for the Anti&amp;#xA0;Defamation League (which fights anti-semitism and all forms of bigotry in&amp;#xA0;the U.S.) doesn&amp;apos;t think so.\r\n&amp;quot;We don&amp;apos;t see any problem with this,&amp;quot; the spokesperson told Us Weekly. &amp;quot;That may&amp;#xA0;very well be what her Jewish friends are saying.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nGiudice herself explained the remark on her blog Tuesday.\r\n&amp;quot;Some of my friends have told me they would have left Joe if they were me,&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;she wrote. &amp;quot;I was trying to explain myself without calling anyone out&amp;#xA0;specifically, and the way I described them to keep them anonymous was&amp;#xA0;&amp;apos;Jewish.&amp;apos; They are Jewish, but being Jewish has nothing to do with why they&amp;#xA0;would have left Joe. Their religion had nothing to do with the story, I was&amp;#xA0;just trying to explain myself and not use anyone&amp;apos;s name, and my words got&amp;#xA0;all jumbled. I&amp;apos;m so sorry if I offended anyone, but that&amp;apos;s not what I meant&amp;#xA0;at all.\r\n\r\nIt&amp;apos;s not the Giudice family&amp;apos;s first scandal of this kind. On the third&amp;#xA0;season of the show, her eldest daughter Gia, now 10, declared that she&amp;apos;d&amp;#xA0;never date Jewish boys -- and made a gesture mocking the long, curly hair&amp;#xA0;worn by traditional Hasidic men.\r\n&amp;quot;I can&amp;apos;t control what my daughter says&amp;quot; Giudice told Hollywood Life last&amp;#xA0;year. &amp;quot;Kids say dumb things &amp;#x2026; what, am I going to be crucified for it?&amp;quot;\r\nTell Us: Are you offended by Teresa&amp;apos;s latest comment?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
