“Well, it was her birthday,” the Bravolebrity, 52, explained of Pippen, adding that she was “scrambling” to find a nice photo with the “Real Housewives of Miami” star, 50, to share online.
“I was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s her birthday. I have to post a picture for her,'” she continued. “We’re really close.”
Giudice said she could only find one good photo with Pippen; however, she did not like where it was originally taken.
Giudice said that she had her social media person take a beach photo in Mexico to paste her and Pippen onto. LiveKellyandMark/YouTube Giudice was ripped to shreds Saturday for sharing the Photoshopped snap with Pippen. teresagiudice/Instagram
“That was the only picture I came across,” she noted. “I said, ‘Oh great, summer!’ I just didn’t like the background.”
And so the cookbook author decided to seek some help from her social media manager.
“I called my assistant/social media person, and she’s like, ‘I’m in Mexico.’ And I’m like, ‘Perfect, take a picture of the beach! That’s perfect, we’re in bikinis! Put it like that,’” she said.
Fans created memes after the editing fail went viral. teresagiudice/Instagram They were Photoshopped to look like they were traveling the world together. christiangraysnow/Instagram
Giudice assured Ripa that the snap was “an actual photo” with Pippen but that they were just “in a different place.”
“We’re in Mexico — and now we’re all over the world,” she joked.
The “House of Villains” contestant was mercilessly roasted for posting the doctored image with the “Traitors” alum Saturday.

“Happy Birthday to my girl @larsapippen wishing you all the best to come. Love you,” Giudice captioned the photo, in which she and Pippen wore swimsuits.
Fans quickly noticed that they were clearly Photoshopped to look like they were standing on a white sand beach.
“Photoshop nightmare. So embarrassing,” someone commented on the post at the time, with another calling the flub “unhinged.”

“This has got to be the worst Photoshop I’ve ever seen,” a third follower added.

Giudice laughed off the razzing soon after, telling her Instagram followers that she was “Loving all the comments lol.”
Giudice also shared several of the memes making fun of her on her own social media page. Teresa Giudice/Instagram The reality star has not removed the hilarious image. Felipe Ramales / SplashNews.com
