Teresa Giudice nephew update: Teresa Giudice blogs Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion

After Monday's heated "Real Housewives of New Jersey" reunion, Teresa Giudice has written a blog post explaining Danielle Staub's comment about her nephew. Kind of.

First, a quick recap: Early in Monday's show, Danielle accused Teresa of not acknowledging her own nephew. The comment caused Teresa to physically lash out at Danielle. She also screamed obscenities and pushed host Andy Cohen.

The incident confused many fans, since there was no mention of Teresa's nephew during the last "Housewives" season.

Some people speculated Danielle was referring to Housewife Jacqueline Laurita's son, but Teresa and Jacqueline aren't related. Other people thought Danielle was hinting at Teresa's husband's rumored love child.

Here's how Teresa explained things in a blog entry posted late Tuesday afternoon:

In April, my newest nephew was born off camera. (No, not Jacqueline’s baby; Jacq and I are not related.) And no he’s not sick. He’s perfect and beautiful and we’re blessed to have him in our lives. If you all remember, I was scheduled to do the live Bravo Chat Bubble for a Real Housewives of New York episode the night he was born, and I was at the hospital so long, I was late logging in. So, yes, of course I was at the hospital when he was born!

When we were talking about Danielle not even acknowledging the birth of Jacqueline’s new baby Nicholas – which is part of the show – Danielle jumped in and accused me of not acknowledging my own new nephew. Did you see my face, how confused I was? At first, I had no idea what she was talking about because I WAS there and my 90,000 Twitter followers were kind of at the hospital with me that day too. But then I realized what she was saying – that she had been digging around my extended family and trying to find dirt on me and defame them. And I just had it. I will not stand for that (or sit still anyway).

Weigh in: Are you still confused? Do you believe Teresa?

Part two of the "Real Housewives" reunion airs 9 p.m. next Monday on Bravo.
