Teresa Giudice is coming for Sofía Vergara – again.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, who previously slammed the Modern Family actress, called Vergara the “rudest” celebrity she’s ever met during the latest episode of her Namaste B$tchespodcast.

Chatting with co-host Melissa Pfeister, Giudice recalled an incident from 2017, where Vergara allegedly appeared reluctant to snap a pic with the reality star backstage at a talk show.

Giudice argued that Vergara should be “nice” because she’s an “immigrant.”

“Sofia Vergara’s PR person and my PR person spoke together, and I guess the two of them said, ‘Let’s get a picture of Teresa and Sofia together,’” Giudice recalled, at one point mocking Vergara’s Colombian accent.

“I didn’t want a picture with her. I’ve never asked to take a picture with anybody. [She’s] the rudest woman I’ve ever met.”

Giudice continued on, telling listeners, “I saw her whole demeanour, and then I heard her say to her PR person, ‘Why are you making me take a picture with that lady?’

“I was like, ‘Excuse me? I did not want to take a picture with you! I never asked to take a picture with you,’” she further claimed.

“I was like, ‘How rude. You’re so not a humble person. You forgot where you came from.’”

The reality star even referenced Vergara’s humble beginnings in Barranquilla, Colombia.

“It’s not like she started out like being on the top. She forgot where she came from. She’s so not a down-to-earth person,” Giudice said.

“I’m so not a fan of her.”

The RHONJ star previously spoke about the awkward interaction on a “Getting Real with the Housewives” panel in 2017.

“Ugh, I can’t stand her, sorry,” the mother of four said in a video obtained by TMZ at the time.

“I hate to say that because I’m Italian, she’s Colombian, she has an accent — she has more of an accent than me.”

“You would think she would be nice, like, she’s an immigrant — no, I’m just saying, she should be nice!”

Fans took to Twitter after Giudice ripped the A-lister for allegedly being rude to her.

“What does being an immigrant have to do with being nice?!” one person wrote.

Another fan joked, “Hair pulling, table flipping Teresa says someone mistreated her, LOL.”

Vergara – who has yet to publicly address Giudice’s latest statements – aced her US citizenship test in 2014.

Meanwhile, Giudice’s ex-husband, Joe Giudice, was deported to his native Italy in 2019 after serving a 41-month federal prison sentence for bankruptcy fraud and failing to file taxes. He has been splitting his time between Italy and the Bahamas to make seeing the four daughters he shares with Teresa — Gia, 22, Gabriella, 19, Milania, 17, and Audriana, 13 — more convenient and cost-efficient.

Teresa has since moved on with entrepreneur Luis “Louie” Ruelas. The two tied the knot in 2022.
