As you've heard, Teresa Giudice and the Real Housewives of New Jersey gang are being sued by Yolanda Martinez over a bar fight that occured in the Dominican Republic where they were vacationing in February.
Well Teresa has lawyer-ed up and is now claiming that not only is she not guilty, she herself was the one assaulted and was only acting in self defense.
"Teresa was hit and assaulted," says her attorney, Jim Kridel. "She is still in pain over this. This wasn't something that was minor." He also defends Teresa's sometimes slick mouth saying, "mere words are not provocation to hit someone. There's no justification for that."
