"[They] conned me during a period where my brain was breaking. Rain, my disgusting ex, sold a story about Asia Argento to TMZ. … She is a monster. … Rain targeted me as a job for her con artist skills."

She has been too busy with the girls, with work obligations and taking care of her father." There are no fireworks, the source added. "[Teresa] is happy for Joe .

They still love one another, but as Teresa told Andy Cohen on the ['Watch What Happens Live'] special [they taped after Joe got to Italy], they are separated by the Atlantic Ocean.
