Margaret Josephs recently slammed her former friend, Jackie Goldschneider, as a “fame wh*re,” prompting Jackie to fire back at her on social media.

As the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast, including Margaret, 57, Melissa Gorga, 45, and Jennifer Fessler, 53, reacted to the new friendship between Jackie, 47, and Teresa Giudice, 52, Margaret suggested that fame was the motivator behind Jackie making amends with Teresa and Jennifer Aydin, 47.

“Jackie ‘Judas’ Goldschneider,” Margaret began in a digital original shared by Bravo. “I had dinner with her two weeks before we started filming and she did not have a lot of nice things to say about Teresa and or Jennifer and then all the sudden befriends them.”

“Such a fame whore,” she continued. “She would probably sell her own mother down the river just for an ounce of fame. Jackie’s just Teresa with brains, facts, with a formal education.”

Meanwhile, after signaling “a big switch in friendships and dynamics,” Melissa too expressed frustrations with Jackie’s sudden relationship with her estranged sister-in-law.

“It’s a shame that she just decided to make all these changes in her life and not even pick up the phone once to tell me she was feeling a different way,” she noted. “We’ve been friends enough that I was owed a phone call. I feel like, that’s what you want after all the sweat and tears and how we all picked you up off the floor for so many years over your hurt for what happened?”

In her own segment, Jackie said that due to Teresa and Melissa’s feud, season 14 felt like more of a “competition series” than a friend group.

She then shared what viewers didn’t see at the start of her relationship with Teresa.

“At Jenn Fesslers’ birthday party, Teresa and I did talk for a few minutes and it started out just small talk but I think we both left the conversation feeling like, ‘Well that was pleasant,’” she revealed.

“It may have started off strategic for certain people [but] what it turned into was a really nice, beautiful friendship that has continued off-camera,” Jackie went on. “To this day, she’s the only person that I’ve spoken to on the phone today. We really are good friends. I think the amount of loyalty that’s expected of certain people is just ridiculous.”

After seeing what Margaret had to say about her in the Bravo clip, Jackie took to the comments section of a post shared by All About the Real Housewives on Instagram to share her reaction.

“That person needs to stop talking about my mother. It’s classless,” she wrote.

Elsewhere in the Bravo video, Jennifer Fessler weighed in on Jackie’s changing friendships.

“Her and Margaret started fighting and her and Melissa started to separate, and she was never that close with [Danielle Cabral] and she had these open arms of Jen Aydin and Teresa. I think she was thrilled to have it,” Jennifer admitted. “Jackie and Margaret had been having some difficulties before cameras started rolling. I was privy to that because they both would talk to me about it, [but] Jackie’s getting a lot of flack about it being so contrived.”

Although Jennifer noted that she didn’t know what the nail in the coffin was for Jackie and Margaret, she expressed hope for their future.

“What I know that they don’t know is that they will always have love in their hearts for each other. They don’t believe me, but I’m telling you, it’s true,” she insisted.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.

Jenn Fessler on Why She’s “Taken a Step Back” From Teresa Friendship, Talks Feud With Rachel Fuda, Status With Margaret and Cast Shakeup Rumors, Plus What She Would Have Addressed at RHONJ Reunion

[ad_1]

Jenn Fessler revealed what she would have shared at the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion, and addressed where she stands with Rachel Fuda, Margaret Josephs, and discussed her reason for taking “a step back” from her friendship with Teresa Giudice amid the cast divide.

Jenn was introduced to the group through her good friend Margaret, but Margaret and Rachel claimed Jenn was disloyal for fostering a friendship with their enemy Teresa. This season, the competing factions refused to film together, and the show decided not to film the reunion.

On Housewives Nightcap, Jenn was asked what she would have addressed at the reunion.

“Rachel and I have some stuff that needs to be worked out that I would definitely like to address,” she said. “And I think that she probably would say the same. I don’t think she’s very happy with me. I don’t think we’re very happy with each other, which is very sad.”

Jenn would also address the claim that she’s a “snake,” a “flip-flopper,” and “not a loyal friend.” She would then give more of her “side of things,” including her definition of “loyalty.”

“Cause it’s all news to me that I’m not a loyal friend,” she said. “[Rachel and I] jumped in so quickly [into a friendship] without really gathering enough information in terms of who are you and who am I. We didn’t know the sort of roadblocks that we would come across.”

Jenn doesn’t know “what the future holds” for her relationship with Rachel, as there were “some things” that “happened” before filming began, which left them “disconnected.”

When asked why she chose to be nice to Teresa, Jenn said it’s not in her nature to “be nasty to someone who’s being nice to me,” and she listens to other people’s “points of view.” The situation was also different for Jenn because she’s filming a show with Teresa, and castmates usually interact.

She also denied Margaret’s allegation that she’s “weak sauce.” Jenn stated that if someone is going to “come at” her, then she’s going to “come back.”

“I’m not a shrinking violet,” she said. “But I definitely try to be open. So if I’m not being attacked, it’s rare that I’m going to go on the attack.”

Jenn said she’s “kind of taken a step back” from her friendship with Teresa for her “mental health” amid all the social media “stuff” that’s going on – Teresa was accused by a social media account of leaking information against castmates – but Jenn’s “close” with Margaret and Melissa. She’s currently not speaking to Rachel, and hasn’t spoken “much” to Jennifer Aydin “recently.”

She claimed it’s a “misconception” that she’s super close with Teresa. Fessler revealed that she and Margaret “pushed past” their hurt feelings, though she joked she’s going to “kill her” for all the things she said about her in the season.

According to Jenn, she told Margaret before the season started that she “won’t come back” if Margaret doesn’t.

Concerning rumors of a cast shakeup, Jenn claimed that “any change” would be “heartbreaking” for fans, but she has “no idea what’s gonna happen.” And she said it’s “hard to imagine” sisters-in-law Melissa and Teresa reconciling amid their feud – but she’s choosing to stay optimistic.

Luis Ruelas is Called Out Over $300K Debt Allegedly Owed by Business Venture Vinivia for Launch Party as Party Planner Speaks Out Against RHONJ Star

[ad_1]

Teresa Giudice‘s husband, Luis Ruelas, is under fire on social media after a party planner called out those behind the app Vivina, his latest business venture, for failing to pay her more than $300,000 for the company’s launch party last year.

Months after the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 50, one of his sons, two of Teresa’s daughters, Gia Giudice, 23, and Audriana Giudice, 14, and Gia’s boyfriend, Christian Carmichael, attended the event, the planner behind the bash wants to know where her money went.

In screenshots shared by Wife of the Party, via Bravo and Cocktails on Instagram, this week, the woman wrote a message to Luis directly, although she used the wrong username to tag him.

“[Luis Ruelas] how do we get paid?!” she asked, along with an event photo of Teresa, 52, and their blended family.

In other posts shared on the Story of Wife of the Party on Instagram, she featured comments from other social media users.

“Everyone remember that big launch for Louie with Vinivia well Louie hasn’t paid the women who put it together,” one person wrote. “She’s being silenced too but just wait team Teresa will label her crazy and obsessed too, it’s how they operate.”

“How will you pay us the $300,000 [plus] you’ve owed us along with all the other vendors that are waiting?” asked another message. “It’s been 60 days and a lot of excuses.”

Then, in another message shared by Wife of the Party, she included a screenshot of Vinivia’s Instagram post about the party, which tagged her as the planner.

“When [Vinivia] says they can’t pay you because their investors aren’t paying them,” she captioned the post.

As RHONJ fans may recall, Bravo’s The Daily Dish shared an article back in April about Luis’ new venture, revealing that Teresa’s children had supported his “new [beginning].”

Around the same time, Luis spoke out about the project.

“This is a live streaming platform that’s being launched on April 4, 2024, solely for creators and influencers around the world,” he told TMZ in March. “That’s what I do for a living.”

As the social media posts against Luis continued, someone wrote, “Louie Ruelas called out for not paying 300k to a company that helped launch his app Vinivia,” as they shared a clip of Luis talking to TMZ about Vinivia.

It was also noted that Wife of the Party was “hired by Vinivia and has yet to be paid $300,000 [plus].”

Meanwhile, on Vinivia’s account, Luis can be seen promoting the company.

“Augmented reality and artificial intelligence is one of our specialties here at Vinivia. Bringing your followers and your audiences down a beautiful consumer journey with product placements behind you and they may not seem placed in other environments. Do it live. Vinivia now. Let’s go!” he said in a filmed ad.

Speaking out in a lengthy video shared to her Instagram page amid the drama, Wife of the Party admitted that the non-payment has been “really difficult”

“And this isn’t a dispute, to be clear, about vendors or a miscommunication or a line item because that’s a completely different thing than someone having a contract and promising to pay for services rendered and asking if they can delay the payment until Monday because a wire didn’t come in,” she stated. “I want to be very clear that as this project went on, everything was requested and approved and I have everything to show that. This wasn’t a surprise number. [Marcello Genovese] fully agreed and just kept giving me excuses.”

According to the app’s website, Marcello is the CEO and co-founder of Vinivia. Meanwhile, according to a report from The U.S. Sun, Luis is the co-founder of Digital Media Solutions (DMS), which helped with the launch of Vinivia, and an “independent contractor” of the app.

“I’m at the point now where I finally realize that they’re not going to pay me. It’s making me sick and I think that moreover, it was really important that I finally spoke up because I went back and forth,” Wife of the Party continued. “I was told not to. I was told not to air out the drama as a company but this isn’t drama. This is complete fraud and this is a few hundred thousand dollars. Yet there are a lot of things that Vinivia and Marcello are doing that they need money for yet he keeps telling me money is coming my way. And there’s been fraudulent paperwork, there’s been money returned. He did send a couple small credit card payments but I do realize now that was just to shut me up and it just really sucks.”

According to Wife of the Party, she learned that Vinivia got Luis a new office at Avenue of the Stars and has been “hiring girls,” all while owing her over $300,000.

“[They] had this huge party that they couldn’t afford at my expense,” she added.

RHONJ Recap: John Calls Teresa “Poster Child for Mortgage Fraud” as Their Meeting Goes Awry, Paul Snaps at Dolores Over Questions About His Divorce, Plus Jen Aydin Shares How Teresa Feels About Her Friendship With Melissa

[ad_1]

1

On this episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Paul gets defensive about his divorce timeline when Dolores presses him about a proposal. Danielle‘s New York Fashion Week debut is a success, but the same cannot be said about the meeting between the Ruelas and Fudas. Insults were slung and apologies were considered inauthentic. Where do they all go from here?

Melissa talks about how she is stuck at home with all boys now that Antonia has gone off to college. Luckily, Antonia keeps in touch and after FaceTiming with her, Melissa talks to Joe about the “dramatic” boujie brunch over at Danielle’s. Melissa laughs about alliances switching, but little does she know that Jackie is currently over TERESA’S house! Are pigs flying? To say those two have had a bumpy past is an understatement, but Jackie wants to be surrounded by “nice people” who make her happy, and so she’s landed on Teresa. Go figure…

Jackie lets Teresa know that Margaret seems angry and it seems like Teresa is just happy to see Jackie hating on Margaret. Teresa explains that she just wanted Jackie to learn how to speak up for herself. Jackie continues to kiss Teresa’s a*s and tells her that she is just up for a drama free friendship, which is quite the opposite of what went down at the infamous brunch. Jackie wonders how Teresa stayed so calm as Rachel came after her, amping her new bestie, Tre, up even more.

Margaret is in Charleston for a birthday party, but FaceTimes Rachel to recap the brunch. Rachel explains that she got into it with Teresa and John walks in to be a part of the conversation. Rachel pointed out that Teresa tried to weaponize John’s past and mock his line of work. To that, Margaret responds, “Isn’t her [Teresa’s] husband unemployed and mooches off of her?” Touché, Marge.

Paulie and Dolores head out for dinner and she talks to him about one day being engaged. However, Dolores doesn’t even want to think about that next step until Paul’s divorce is finalized. Paul gets snippy with Dolores and asks her if she truly believes he would get divorced one day and then the next minute get down on his knee to propose to her as if to let her know that will NOT be the case.

Dolores calls Paul out for saying he would get divorced last year, since it seems like he “can solve world peace before” he gets divorced. Paul wonders if Dolores doesn’t think he is telling the truth and Dolores threatens that she may rethink their relationship one day. Paul tells Dolores she should think about it sooner than later and if she isn’t happy about their situation, maybe she should make a change. Ouch.

Danielle is sweating this NYFW show for Boujie Kids. She is excited that Melissa will be there to support her, but her mom will not be there since she is traveling. Danielle’s godmother will be present and she is happy to have SOME family there, even though her dad was not invited, since it would stress her out too much.

Margaret is happy to participate in a first responders charity, since giving back is so important to her. It’s a daytime golf outing where all her besties will be handing out Soiree to the golfers. Rachel, Dolores, Melissa, and Lexi are there to support. Melissa is looking forward to her upcoming housewarming party and warns them all that she invited Jackie…and Jennifer Aydin, because they DID say they were going to be moving forward after their lunch date.

Meanwhile the Jens (Fessler and Aydin) meet up for some margaritas. Jen Aydin explains that she is on a clean slate with Melissa and is taking what she can get with her. Jen Fessler wonders how Teresa is feeling about Aydin becoming friends with Melissa. Jen Aydin feels like what is best for her is letting go of hostility, but has yet to tell Tre she is going to be attending Melissa’s housewarming party (cuz she is scared??).

In her confessional, Jen Aydin admits that while Teresa says her new friendship with Melissa doesn’t bother her, it must “sting” for Teresa to see Jen Aydin moving forward with Melissa.

Fessler explains she is having a similar situation as Jen, as she is becoming friendly with Teresa, which is p*ssing off a crew of her pals. The love/hate relationships are exhausting. Jen Aydin is adamant that she did not set Danielle up, but knows Danielle is p*ssed at her for having Lina spill. Jen goes on to explain that Teresa and Rachel got hot, but Rachel is the who didn’t keep her cool.

Speaking of the argument, the golfing girls discuss the brunch and Rachel says she has too much going on to say any more about the pettiness with Teresa. Dolores jumps in to talk about the recent convo she had with Paul about his divorce. Marge shares that she got divorced a week after getting divorced, so what’s Paulie’s deal? According to Paul, he is building a future with Dolores by getting into business with her…which doesn’t necessarily sound like something Dolores would be into.

It’s Danielle’s big fashion show day and Melissa is so thrilled for her new friend. The show goes by in a flash and Danielle is thrilled that her dream has actually come true.

In the meantime, Louie wants to talk to John and put aside their differences. John is looking for a proper apology from Teresa since she called him a drug dealer AND a parking attendant. Teresa, on the other hand, can’t believe that John would have the “balls” to demand an apology from her. Rachel is stuck on Teresa’s intention of bringing up the drug dealer past and John feels like Louie likes to know everyone’s secrets because he is a narcissist and accuses others of what HE is. Louie tells Teresa he “feeds two wolves every day” and it’s only a matter of time to see which one will come to the table with the Fudas. WTF.

The time has come. The Fudas have set up a private room for this meeting with Louie and Teresa. They get right down to business and Teresa begins by bringing a gift for Joe for his housewarming. She would like the Fudas to deliver it. John states he is trying to clear the air with Tre because he respects her brother, Joe. Teresa feels like she never had a problem with the Fudas and insinuates that because Rachel is close to Melissa, she can’t get a fair shake. John wants to know why Teresa would go out and call him a drug dealer, and Teresa apologizes for making it seem like he was presently dealing.

John tries to redirect the conversation and continues to demand an apology (which, by the way Teresa already gave him). John knows that Teresa took that information about his past from a criminal who manufactured crystal meth (who also happens to be his son, Jayden’s, birthmother). Messy, messy. John doesn’t feel like the apology Teresa gave him was “authentic,” but when Teresa asks for an apology as well, John tells her this is not a tit for tat kind of situation.

Teresa goes off claiming the Fudas threw the first punch and John shuts her down. He states, “Here’s how it’s gonna go” and goes on to say that he (again) doesn’t find Teresa’s initial apology authentic. Teresa stands by the fact that John brought up Louie’s name first and even Louie tries to get Tre to settle down enough to keep the situation calm.

When John gets more of what he doesn’t want to hear and less of what he does what to hear, he leaves with Rachel (but not before grabbing the housewarming gift for Joe). Tre calls him “John Fugazi” and he responds with, “You’re the poster child for mortgage fraud.” John walks away from Teresa’s threats saying he loves a good fight …and when he needs his money laundered, he will call Tre. To be continued…

RHONJ’s Melissa and Joe Gorga Address Potential Reconciliation With Teresa Giudice, Their 20-Year Marriage, Plus Melissa Says She’s the Only Cast Member Not on Ozempic & Shares Update on Antonia

[ad_1]

Melissa and Joe Gorga addressed if they could ever see a reconciliation with his sister Teresa Giudice – who’s no longer speaking to them, despite their casting on Real Housewives of New Jersey. They also addressed their near-20-year marriage, and Melissa indicated she’s the only RHONJ cast member not on Ozempic for weight loss.

Recently, Teresa shared that she received a sign from her late parents from beyond the grave, telling her that she’s on the right path concerning her decision to distance herself from Joe and Melissa.

In an interview for Sherri, Melissa said she sometimes gets “sick” of Joe, as they’ve been married for nearly 20 years.

Joe then addressed how fans will treat him differently when Melissa isn’t around. Though they’re “respectful” when Melissa is present, if she’s absent, they’ll touch him, grab him, or ask him to sign certain parts of the body, according to Joe.

He said even “moms” and “daughters” will approach him saying, “You don’t know what we’ll do to you.”

Both stars admitted they’re the jealous type, but Melissa said this is a reason they’re “so good together, because we want to be together, we want to spend time together.”

“I get jealous if he’s out enjoying the night,” she said, as Joe claimed she’s more jealous than him. “I’m like, ‘Don’t you miss me? Don’t you wish I were there?’”

But according to Joe, Melissa really just demands to know where he is and what he’s doing, as she gets “crazy.”

Melissa stated that they’re the “longest standing couple on Bravo.”

She was then asked about Dolores Catania and Margaret Josephs‘ apparent claim that most of the cast is on Ozempic.

“I think I’m the only one on that cast that does not take Ozempic,” said Melissa. “I work out really really hard and … to each their own for everything. But I don’t take it.”

Melissa said people on Ozempic need to work out too, or their muscles will get “flabby.”

But Melissa claimed she’s “happy” that her cast members feel and look good.

When asked if they see a possible reconciliation with Teresa in the future, Melissa expressed, “Not right now … When someone is never happy for you or your marriage, it becomes very difficult when – sometimes you have to take the toxic and say listen, this is very toxic.”

Melissa said she’s “tried for many years,” but there was a point where “enough’s enough, and we’re done with the toxic.”

Joe called the situation “very hard,” and he suggested that Teresa was trying to “tear” his life with Melissa “down,” and he had to make a choice because Teresa was “never happy for us.”

“I can’t be around somebody trying to hurt me,” he said. Joe then joked that he’s getting a “sign from heaven” that he’s going to pick the “right road” and not say “negative things.”

Melissa said Teresa’s ‘sign’ comment “upset” Joe, who expressed that no parent from beyond the grave would give their child a sign to fight with their sibling.

When it comes to their 18-yr-old daughter Antonia Gorga, who was seen being dropped off at college on the latest episode of the RHONJ, Melissa shared an update on her.

“She just completed, we just picked her up from her first year of college. She was thriving. She loves it,” said Melissa.

“It was rough in the beginning,” said Joe of the separation. “But the good thing is that I raised the right daughter, and I trust her. And a parent knows who their kids are … I know I did the right thing. So it kind of keeps me at ease. But I’m always FaceTiming and checking in … We’re always talking.”

But Joe said that he “trust[s]” Antonia concerning when she goes out, and he previously told the teenager: “‘I’m going to trust you. Don’t let me not trust you.’”

He added, “Thank God, man, they’ve been doing the right thing.”

The RHONJ airs Sunday nights at 8/7c on Bravo.

RHONJ Recap: Margaret Slams Jackie as a “Disgrace,” Guest Spills the Tea on Danielle, & Rachel & Jen Clear the Air, Plus Melissa Sees Daughter Off to College

[ad_1]

1

What’s a better way to celebrate Memorial Day weekend than with the ladies of The Real Housewives of New Jersey? Some call it the kick off to summer, but for these ladies, summer is well underway and so are the grudges and alliances. Rachel and Margaret aren’t quite sure what to do with Jen Fessler since it seems as though she is getting closer to Teresa. Dolores holds her annual charity softball game, bringing everyone together amidst all the drama. What could possibly go wrong?!

After a lovely motorcycle ride with her hubby, Joe, the Marge opens up to him about how everyone in the friend group is seemingly losing their marbles. She is mad that Jackie didn’t give her a copy of her new book, but did give one to Jen Fessler and Melissa(who, according to Margaret, doesn’t even read). Margaret goes on to say how lousy of a friend Jackie has been to her, since she didn’t even touch base on the one-year anniversary of Jan’s death. Margaret hasn’t quite moved past losing Jan and wishes that she had support from her friend.

Rachel explains that she hasn’t heard from Jen Fessler since they left the shore, so she has asked her out to chat about where they should go from here. At the restaurant, they get right down to it. Rachel starts to get choked up explaining her angle and tells Jen that she feels hurt by her. Jen doesn’t really understand why a 32 year old woman could be this upset about this, and I mean, rightly so. Jen clarifies that when she sat down with Teresa, it was NOT about Rachel. But once the convo did turn to the Fudas, Jen “advocated” for them, and to Jen, that seems like a victory.

Rachel is still disappointed by Jen’s behavior, but Jen makes it clear that she isn’t Margaret, heading into situations ready to fight, blind with loyalty. Jen is still unsure why Rachel is so mad at her and Rachel claims that she is “mourning the loss of what their friendship used to be.” Jen eventually tells Rachel, “you know where my heart is,” essentially ending their beef.

The subject changes to Jennifer Aydin’s dog party. Rachel is not ready to jump into a situation like that and Jen is actually happy that her friend will be absent from the event because now she can be herself around “the enemies.”

Things must be pretty tough for Jen Aydin if she is hosting a birthday party for Biscuit, her new dog. This is what it has come down to for her. Dolores brings one of her ten dogs and Olivia, Jen’s daughter, is just happy to say b*tch over and over, since it is technically a noun for a female dog.

It’s quite the crew at this party. We have Teresa and Gia, who is apparently auditioning to be part of RHONJ by sitting at the big girls’ table. Speaking of Gia, no she is not engaged yet, but her boyfriend does work with Louie. Jackie and Dolores are there, and of course, so is Jen Fessler. There’s a dog fashion show and Biscuit takes the crown.

There’s also a rando friend there named Lina, who happens to be a hairdresser for some of the women in the group. Lina is spilling the tea about Danielle‘s “incident” at a charity event. Apparently, Lina did Danielle’s hair, but when Lina was asked to leave the event, Danielle did not jump in to help her. According to Jen, things have been brewing with Danielle that people in the group may not know about and Jen is LOVING that she is bringing all Danielle’s sh*t to light.

Jen then shares that she did invite Margaret and Teresa muses what dog Joe would bring: Margaret of his real dog? Ouch. This does not get one chuckle, which is shocking. It’s then brought up that Rachel is not here because of Teresa. Messy Fessy spills the beans and tells the group that Rachel felt betrayed by Jen when she hugged Teresa. Dolores sits there in absolute confusion watching these friendships take major turns. Dolores feels like she is in the Twilight Zone, especially when it comes to Jackie and Teresa, since a year ago, Jackie wanted nothing to do with Teresa.

Even though she was essentially told to stay out of it by Rachel, Jen Fessler is hopeful that Louie and John can talk and Dolores suggests that they talk at her upcoming charity softball game. Dolores needs those men to be civil at the event and she recommends that they talk before the game.

Watching Antonia move into the dorms at my alma mater, the University of Delaware, brings back all the feels. We learn that Antonia will be rooming with her long-time friend and Joe has of course gotten some help moving the ladies in. Joe swears he took a page out of Louie’s book and has hired investigators to follow Antonia everywhere (lol) and it’s an emotional moment watching them say goodbye to their daughter.

Later, Danielle talks about her upcoming New York fashion week show. No family will be attending the event and Danielle is bummed that she cannot share this big moment in her life with special people. Danielle’s feud with her brother has really upset her, but she prefers the new family that brings her joy.

It’s the day of Dolores’s softball game and almost 4,000 people will be in attendance. Dolores realizes that she is putting everyone in the group in a “pressure cooker,” but alas, it’s for a good cause. Dolores is excited to show Paul her success on the day of the charity game, but it’s going to be hard to keep the peace. Melissa is still p*ssed at Jen about spreading rumors on cameras last season and she says it feels like even now Jen is trying to find reasons to stay mad at her.

Once in the locker room, the fighting begins. Danielle asks Jackie, “Who invited you to Jen’s puppy party?” and Jackie schools her when she says the only one who doesn’t like her is Danielle. Jackie says that she has been friends with Jen since 2018, so why wouldn’t she be invited? Jackie points out that she was the only one not invited to Danielle’s party and is annoyed that Margaret is not taking her side in this moment.

Marge asks Jackie what she has ever did for her and goes on to point out that she didn’t even call her on the one-year anniversary of Jan’s death. Jackie is tired of feeling like part of Margaret’s entourage and therefore, she did not give Marge a copy of her book. Jackie storms off and Margaret lets her know that she is ‘self-centered’…and also a “disgrace.”

Adding to the tension, it’s beyond awkward when the Gorgas and Teresa’s fam roll in pretty much together. But all of that gets pushed aside as this game is for a good call. This year, Dolores is playing for her friend Guerdy, who is battling breast cancer. All are pretty involved, except for Rachel, as her RA flare up is getting worse.

Jackie tells Teresa, Jen, and Fessler that she can be friends with whoever she wants to be friends with. But once again, Jen Fessler is stuck in the middle. When Marge looks over and sees Jen all up in that group, she goes off on Jen, letting her know that she doesn’t like that she’s associating with those people. Jen says if people are nice to her she is nice to them, but Marge claims she can’t “connect with people” who behave like Jen.

Joe reports that he had a happy talk with Bill, and Jen feels like it looks as though Bill doesn’t respect him. It feels like Jen forgets why she is mad at Melissa, particularly when Melissa invites her to a shit-down in hopes of clearing the air and Jen agrees.

In the end, RHONJ wins by 1 and over $200,000 was raised. It was a great night, so long as no one paid attention to all the drama that was unfolding between the ladies…

RHONJ Recap: Margaret Confronts Jen Fessler Over Sit-Down With Teresa & Accuses Her of Speaking Poorly About Luis as Rachel Cries and Questions Her Loyalty, Plus Joe Celebrates His Birthday

[ad_1]

10

The take-away from this episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey seems to be loyalty. And even if someone says they aren’t going to tell you not to be friends with someone, they will still be mad at you IF you choose to be friends with that person.

Just ask Rachel. After seeing Jen Fessler “cozying up” with Teresa, she is questioning their friendship. Plus, a college-bound Gabriella keeps Teresa out of the mix, as she was home prepping to send her off to school. Good thing, because it’s not like she would have been invited to Missy G’s Italian birthday party for Joe anyway…

We’re still down at the Jersey Shore and the houses are still very much divided into what seems to be teams, minus the few who can ride the fence. This is just fine in theory, but in reality, the friendships get muddied, causing more drama than necessary…but we will get back to that later. The Fuda house has prepared a stunning spread of muffins to serve their guests, but not much gets eaten (thank goodness, cuz not much was offered) before John begins questioning Jen Fessler.

John is confused why Jen would even entertain Teresa the night before, particularly since Teresa has been nothing but sh*tty to Rachel and her family. Jen tries to calmly explain what her motive was when it came to talking to Teresa and admits that it was about Teresa learning she said the group did “not execute the plan” they discussed at the reunion. Jen justifies the sit-down with the enemy by stating she doesn’t have any beef with Teresa and Louie, and with that, the music literally stops as Rachel reminds us that not so long ago, Jen didn’t even want to be in the same ROOM as Teresa and Louie.

Jen tries to act like a hero for making Teresa clarify the John as a drug dealer rumor, but Rachel is irritated. She thought she could count on Jen to be on her side when it came to Teresa.

It’s perfect weather for Joe’s Italian-themed party to celebrate his last year in his forties. Margaret tells Joe and Melissa that Dolores is staying at Jennifer’s house and now that Teresa went home to take Gabriella to college, that leaves Jen alone since she (obviously) is not invited to the Gorga party. Dolores is feeling a little awkward, but she will be in attendance anyway. Melissa claims that Jen instigates some stuff, on top of being ridiculously loyal to Teresa, but she is unsure what Jen’s problem is with her, since last year she def tried to hurt Melissa.

Over a Turkish breakfast at Jen’s shore house, they discuss Nate’s celebration of life party and Bill is finally out of surgery (lol). Jen talks about how Melissa has been avoiding her and so Dolores suggests that Jen talk to Melissa about it. Jen reminds her that she has historically always been the one to apologize and move on. She’s getting tired of it.

As a way to extend an olive branch (and since he knows Teresa is tied up at home), Joe decides that he will call Bill up to invite him to the party. Bill kindly declines, as the wives are still not in a great place and it has been bothering Jen a lot. Bill reports back to Jen, who finally feels like Bill has her back…after quite a few seasons of him being wishy-washy. Jen states that she doesn’t need an apology and feels like Joe is simply trying to put a band aid on the bigger issues.

Gabriella is heading to college in 3 days and the best part about this segment is Juicy Joe mocking Teresa’s hello on FaceTime. All of the girls are in tears until Louie walks in with their drink orders. We learn that Joe is not helping pay for college, so it lands on Teresa…and Louie. It’s crazy how much all of the dorter’s voices sound exactly the same and it’s also surprising to actually hear Gabriella speak- this is the most we’ve ever heard her talk in 14 seasons.

After the moving trucks come to take Gabriella’s things away, Teresa and Louie sit down to recap the night before. Teresa can hardly believe that John Fuda is mad because he thought she meant he was the biggest drug dealer now. Teresa laughs about John thinking he’s the God Father and Louie calls him one “ugly mother f*cker.” Teresa thanks Louie for handling everything with grace and for respecting the evening for what it was meant to be.

Later, Dolores kisses Jenifer goodbye and she heads to the Italian festival, I mean Joe’s party. Marge Senior is in attendance along with Kayla and Jamie…one of the new couples that keeps getting added into the mix. John arrives with a blow up doll gift for Joe, but instead of making Melissa laugh, she is more grossed out by it. Frank is back on our screens-praise be- and Jackie is there, feeling out of place, especially since Danielle purposely excluded her from Nate’s party.

As the men sit around, John claims he is getting attacked on multiple levels over baseless rumors and all I have to say is, thank goodness for Frank. He breaks the tension and asks John about the double-headed d*ldo rumor, which causes the men to erupt in laughter, rather than aggression.

Rachel learns through Margaret that Joe called Bill to invite them to the party and that Bill declined, due to the rift between Melissa and Jennifer. Speaking of rifts, Rachel doesn’t understand why Jen Fessler is fighting her fight, especially after she let Jen into her life. Margaret doesn’t like that Jen and Teresa were giggling in the corner, and she wants to sit and talk with Jen to figure it out.

It’s Gabriella’s farewell party and so Teresa has decided to host a party at a restaurant that her friend of 30 years manages. It’s so nice to see all of the dorters come together, especially Milania and Gabriella, who are 16 months apart. Teresa seems like she’s gonna be lost without this one…

In the meantime, they’re busy doing a*s shots out of a blow up doll at Missy G’s while Jennifer and her daughter play boardwalk games. The juxtaposition is hilarious. As the Italian themed party wears on, Frank talks to Dolores and Paul about proposing to Brittany while he is in Costa Rica. Dolores gives her blessing and understands that Frank is more ready to be a husband now than he was years ago.

Marge, Jen, and Rachel finally get together and the whole Teresa convo is immediately addressed. Margaret states, “I’m dying to hear about your chit chat” with Teresa. Jen tries to explain that Teresa was mad because Teresa heard that Jen was talking about the reunion plan. Rachel and Margaret do not believe that Jen owes Teresa any explanation. Jen refuses to admit that she speaks “poorly about Louie incessantly.” And Jackie plops down, inserts herself, and wonders why Margaret is getting worked up about Louie. Margaret is not expecting Jen to fight Teresa, but she doesn’t need to have her head up Teresa’s a*s.

Jen and Margaret begin to yell back and forth and Rachel reminds Jen that she essentially thought she was a ride or die. Jen lets Margaret and Rachel know, “I ain’t your solider,” which takes them back, and then follows that up with, “I’ve got you, but I’m not gonna be you,” which you know does not sit well with Rachel. Rachel tearfully explains that she loves and values Jen, but is confused why Jen would want to befriend someone that is trying to hurt her family. Before storming off, Margaret tells Jen,“ It’s weird [that you’re choosing to be friends with Teresa] because you knew us first and you f*cking just met this girl,” yet Jen remains adamant that she is a good friend to Margaret and Rachel.

Margaret and Rachel fill Danielle in on what just went down. Rachel keeps saying how hard it is to look her best friend in the eye because she has befriend Teresa. She feels like she is being attacked by her best friend and keeps saying she doesn’t want to tell Jen not to be friends with Teresa…buuut she kinda is.

According to Rachel, Danielle does a good job of receiving information that Rachel says about Teresa (who happens to be Danielle’s buddy) and Danielle can see that it doesn’t seem like Jen is showing very much loyalty to Rachel. Jen leaves the party, but it’s interesting because she’s supposed to be sleeping at Rachel’s house that night…so that might awkward. The Gorgas have a wholesome family photo shoot before singing HBD to Joe. Just your typical Jersey party for the books.

RHONJ Star Teresa Giudice Addresses Money Rumors With Luis Ruelas, Accuses Margaret of Putting Out Lies as She Shades Rachel and Slams John’s Allegations, Plus She Talks Gorgas and Most Recent Gift From Luis

[ad_1]

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is off to a strong start this season. Of course, there’s all sorts of drama not only with the ladies but with the husbands as well following the premiere episode. Now, while doing press for the show, Teresa Giudice is opening up about what she calls lies that have been told about her relationship with Luis Ruelas, her status with Melissa Gorga and Joe Gorgoa, and she says Margaret Josephs has no storyline.

Fans will recall that Teresa and Melissa aren’t on speaking terms following last season. Because of this, and other feuds on RHONJ, the show is extremely divided this season.

Recently, she sat down with Billy Bush on Extra to discuss the new season of RHONJ. When asked about her relationship with her brother and sister-in-law, Teresa says, “That chapter is closed.”

Billy then asks, “How can it be?”

Teresa responds, “It’s closed. Did you watch when I was getting married, and they tried to make it all about them.”

She continues, “Chapter’s closed, and keep watching this season because something else comes out, which, you know, not shocking.”

Teresa then talks about “being on top” and cast members coming after her. In particular, she feels that Rachel Fuda picked the wrong team.

She says, “Rachel fell into the trap of listening to other people, as you can see, because what happened at the reunion last year came out of nowhere.”

They then talk specifically about the allegations that Luis contacted John Fuda‘s ex in prison.

She says, “Oh, the reporter from The Sun contacted Fuda’s Ex, and she asked her… ‘Did Luis Ruelas ever contact you’ and she said ‘no.’ That reporter from The Sun put that out there also. Thank you to that reporter because she loves writing about me. I get a lot of clicks.”

The conversation then turns to Teresa and Luis celebrating almost two years of marriage. She says they are still in the honeymoon stage. When asked about a recent romantic thing he did for her, Teresa said, “He sent me 333 roses because I have a tattoo here[side] 333.”

Teresa explains the significance of the number and how her mother gave her “signs of 3s.”

She says, “I never knew Latino lovers were so passionate.”

Billy then discusses the drama between Teresa and Luis in the RHONJ trailer. He asks specifically about rumors that Luis is spending her money.

Teresa says, “No, he doesn’t touch my money. That’s another lie that Margaret is putting out there… My money is my money, and Luis’ money is my money. He doesn’t even know how much I make.”

About Margaret, Teresa says, “She’s so pathetic, I’m sorry, her actions are pathetic. She puts out these lies. She has no storyline. So she’s obsessed with me and Luis.”

Regarding meeting Taylor Swift, Teresa says that she and Luis were actually right next to her and that Taylor knew who she was. She also shared that Justin and Hailey Bieber were in the same area.

Luis Ruelas Claims Ex Vanessa “Leaked” Confidential Info About Him and Teresa to RHONJ Cast as He Demands $5 Million in Damages, Plus He Celebrates 50th Birthday, See Pic

[ad_1]

Luis Ruelas is accusing ex-fiancée Vanessa Reiser of leaking confidential information about him and his wife, Teresa Giudice, to the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast.

While responding to a lawsuit filed against him in February by attorney Kevin Johnson, a witness in Vanessa’s restraining order case against him, Luis, 49, who celebrated his milestone birthday on Sunday, suggested that he lost his job and suffered emotional distress as a result of Vanessa’s alleged antics against him and Teresa, 51, and demanded $5 million in damages.

In court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun on April 19, Luis, along with fellow defendants, including Bo Dietl, 73, a private investigator, fired back at the claims of Kevin and his firm, Johnson Litigation Group, who suggested Luis, Bo, and others had launched an abuse and harassment campaign against Vanessa, and accused him of hacking computers to dig up dirt on her.

In their response, it was stated that Luis believed Kevin and the firm used “unlawful and egregious misconduct,” “breached their ethical obligations,” and “slandered” him, and that he felt Vanessa, a psychotherapist, attempted to create drama for him and Teresa on RHONJ by gossiping to the cast.

“Ruelas believed Reiser was disclosing confidential information to patients and cast members of [RHONJ] to use against him and his wife, in an attempt to bolster the colloque of the show and continue the relentless campaign of harassment, despite existing orders precluding this type of conduct,” the filing stated.

It also accused Kevin of fabricating emails “under fake names/personas” to “damage Ruelas’ chances in the court of law, stir controversy, and create reality TV content,” and suggested that Kevin and Vanessa had a “peculiar interest in certain RHONJ cast members” and an “obsession with Ruelas and RHONJ.”

“The court found that Johnson had a bizarre infatuation with the cast members of RHONJ; that of which is upon information and belief the basis for the continued media blitz and false and misleading statements made therein,” the documents explained, noting that emails were supposedly sent to Luis’ adversary with intent to damage him “both economically and personally” and “make for good Reality TV.”

While it was not confirmed whether the information Vanessa allegedly passed on would be featured on season 14, the trailer hinted at potential financial struggles plaguing Luis and his wife. And according to Luis’ court documents, he felt his reputation was “damaged beyond repair” — no matter what was and will be shown.

As he explained, he runs “a company on a global scale” and potential clients have seen things online about him, causing him to “[suffer] economic injury and mental anguish,” such as losing his job and “business opportunities.”

Luis also claims to have sustained additional damages, including attorney’s fees, and “humiliation, severe anxiety, and emotional distress.”

Luis is suing for “breach of implied covenant of trust and confidence; negligence; Res Ispa Loquitor; abuse of process; declaratory judgment against Johnson; Libel Per Se and violation of Judiciary Law 487,” per The U.S. Sun, and requesting the court award him punitive damages “in an amount to be determined at trial, but in no event less than [$]5,000,000,” plus attorneys’ fees.

After the filing of the countersuit, Luis’ lawyer, Jeremy Iandolo, told The U.S. Sun, “The relentless and baseless assaults by Johnson towards my client Ruelas have inflicted significant harm, both economic and emotionally.”

“As such, we refuse to halt our defense and will continue our attack until Mr. Ruelas is fully vindicated, made whole and can live his life in peace, free from unwarranted attacks of Johnson and Reiser, whom seem more interested in pursuing their own distorted version of fame,” he concluded.

In other Luis Ruelas news, the RHONJ cast member celebrated his 50th birthday, which is on Tuesday, over the weekend with Teresa and their families, including Teresa’s oldest daughter, Gia Giudice, 23, who shared an Instagram Story post of him blowing out his candles on his 50-shaped cake.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 premieres Sunday, May 5, at 8/7c on Bravo.

RHONJ Star Teresa Giudice Denies She Rushed Past Disabled Passengers at Airport, See Her Post

Teresa Giudice denied a report that she disregarded a priority boarding announcement for people with disabilities at the airport. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star is both hated and loved by different fans, though some of her strongest critics were shocked by the allegation.

Perhaps her greatest critics, however, are seated in the cast. Her nemesis Margaret Josephs has been accused of feeding stories to the press – anything that paints Teresa in a negative light.

On April 6, Teresa took to the comments section of a Reality Blurb post on Instagram to deny the recent report.

“Not true,” she wrote of the allegations.

Image credit: @teresagiudice/Instagram

The airport story came from a source speaking In Touch.

“Teresa disregarded the priority boarding announcement for people with special needs and service members,” claimed the source. “She rushed to the gate, pushing past those in wheelchairs and others needing extra assistance. No one confronted her for fear of her reaction.”

“Don’t forget — she famously flipped a table on her reality show!” the source went on.

Some fans believe the source’s last line indicates certain bias and that the allegation may not be accurate.

These viewers ask why, if Teresa did it, would security not have stopped her. It seems odd that airport professionals would be afraid to approach Teresa because she once flipped a table 15 years ago.

Even so, others are convinced she’s guilty and claim it shows a pattern of her behavior.

Gia Giudice recently offered an update on her career in law and her relationship with her boyfriend, Christian Carmichael.

As the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member’s family, including her parents, Teresa Giudice, 51, and Joe Giudice, 51, and step-father Luis Ruelas, 48, wished her a happy 23rd birthday, Gia revealed that after graduating from Rutgers University last year with a degree in criminal justice, as well as a minor degree in sociology, she’s preparing to start law school in September.

“School is done for me right now,” Gia confirmed to BravoTV.com on January 9. “I am working for Rymax right now, which is a marketing company; they’re basically an incentive rewards company. And I’m working with their law team to basically just shadow what they’re doing with the contracting between the vendors and the company.”

“I think I want to get into family law,” she continued. “Obviously once I go into law school, I’ll get a better feel of what I want to do.”

In addition to studying for her Law School Admission Test (LSAT), Gia is enjoying time with Christian, whom she traveled to Europe with last summer.

“My boyfriend and I just went on a European cruise,” she revealed. “We went to the South of France and Spain, and it was seriously an amazing cruise.”

“My boyfriend is great,” she added. “We’ve been together for about four years now. We’re going pretty strong.”

That said, Gia confirmed that marriage “is not in the cards right now.”

“I definitely want to finish school, he’s working on his career. So definitely we just want our careers set and everything settled before thinking about any of that. We’re still very young,” she noted.

Over the weekend, as Gia was flooded with birthday messages on social media, Christian posted a photo of the two of them on his Instagram Story, along with a sweet message.

“Happy birthday!! I love you,” he wrote, along with a red heart emoji.

Elsewhere on Instagram, Teresa posted a birthday tribute to her eldest child.

“Happy 23rd birthday to my beautiful Gia,” she shared with a slideshow of photos of Gia. “You are not only brilliant but also a true leader, guiding your sisters with love and wisdom ALWAYS!! Your amazing qualities shine through in every role you play, a phenomenal daughter and an incredible sister. May this special day bring you joy and all the happiness your heart desires. Keep inspiring us all with your remarkable spirit! LOVE YOU Mommy.”

Gia then received birthday wishes from dad Joe.

“Happy Birthday sweetheart,” he stated with a pic of the two of them.

Even Luis had kind words for Gia on her special day.

“Happy Birthday to my incredible stepdaughter, Gia! You are a force to be reckoned with, full of strength and fierceness. The world is ready to witness all the amazing things you’re going to conquer,” he proclaimed. “Keep living life to its fullest and dancing like nobody’s watching. Here’s to another year of incredible adventures! LOVE YOU.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime early this year.

RHONJ Star Teresa Giudice Faces Backlash for “Petty” Dig at Melissa & Joe Gorga, See Her Post

[ad_1]

Teresa Giudice faced backlash on Instagram over the weekend after sharing a post praising one of her friends for caring for her four daughters when she was “away.”

After previously accusing brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, 44, of failing to be there for the children, Gia, 22, Gabriella, 19, Milania, 17, and Audriana, 14, as she spent time behind bars for fraud crimes, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 51, was slammed as “petty” for her apparent dig.

“Special holiday dinner with a special person that is very dear to our hearts. She means so much to me and my daughters. She was there for them while I was away and put a smile on all [their] faces and made time go by faster. She also had an amazing bond with my mom. Love you Lisa,” Teresa wrote on December 23, along with hashtags for “special person,” “holiday dinner,” and “family.”

After Teresa shared her post, she was met with criticism in the comments section.

“‘This is a dig to someone who WASN’T with my daughters while I was away. I always find the time to pretend to be a happy person but whenever I can, I will be petty. Merry Christmas famiglia!!’” one person mocked.

“That’s meant to be a dig at Melisssa. Also, you weren’t away, you were in prison for spending money that wasn’t yours,” wrote another.

“I love when [Teresa] says ‘away’ like she was traveling in Europe. She never says when I was in jail. Or when I was in prison,” someone else agreed.

Another Instagram user told Teresa, “You go through your ‘best’ friends like I go through underwear.”

Another commenter argued in defense of Joe and Melissa, saying, “Melissa and Joe were there too.”

Lisa, Teresa’s friend, also responded to the post with a heartfelt message.

“Such a great night! It meant so much that all [four] girls came even with their busy schedules. You, the girls, [Joe Giudice], and your parents will always hold a special place in my heart and when I think back to that time, I smile thinking of all the memories,” Lisa wrote. “I will never forget all the time I spent with your mom and how she would make me laugh. I still miss her and think of her often. All four of your daughters have grown into such amazing young women. They’re respectful, thoughtful, and kind and I’m really proud of them. Love you all.”

Then, someone else poked fun at how Teresa referred to her prison stint as time “away.”

“Away??? You mean prison?” they asked.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 will premiere on Bravo sometime in early 2024.

RHONJ’s Teresa Giudice Claims BravoCon Hecklers Were “Paid” to Boo Her, as Tamra Judge Slams Her as “Dumb as a Box of Rocks,” Signals to Family Feud, and Hangs With Melissa

[ad_1]

Teresa Giudice believes the hecklers she faced at BravoCon were actually paid to be there.

As the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member, 51, made the claim on her podcast, Tamra Judge, 56, clapped back at her “sugar mama” claims and suggestion that she doesn’t speak to her family before sharing pics from a friendly outing with Teresa’s estranged sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, 44.

“Keep talking,” the Real Housewives of Orange County star wrote in the caption of a November 10 slideshow, which included photos of her and Melissa at Lisa Vanderpump‘s Vanderpump Cocktail Garden in Las Vegas.

As fans may have seen, Tamra shaded Teresa’s husband, Luis Ruelas, 48, at BravoCon by naming him as the “worst house husband,” which prompted Teresa to speak out against her on her podcast, Namaste B$tches.

“Isn’t she the sugar mama for him? And I think maybe he’s getting tired of her and maybe that’s why she’s like, acting up. Because she’s older than him right? She’s a sugar mama. She bought the gym so he could run it because he was a trainer? This is what I’ve heard,” Teresa noted.

“She doesn’t even talk to her own family. She doesn’t. She’s just a miserable person and if you’re miserable, be miserable where you’re from in Orange County and stay there,” she added.

Following the episode, Tamra took to Instagram to share her reaction to the digs.

“She’s dumb as a box of rocks … We own a [multi-million] dollar CBD company [and] we opened CUT Fitness together while he was still running a law firm. We do things the legal and ethical way in life [namaste b*tch] … The best part is she said I don’t speak to my family … I speak to everyone in my family unlike her. If you’re gonna come for me at least get your facts straight,” Tamra wrote, adding a hashtag for “bring on the bots.”

Meanwhile, on another episode of Namaste B$tches, via Instagram, Teresa reacted to the boos she received as she declared the “chapter’s closed” with brother Joe Gorga.

“I heard that there [were] paid hecklers to come. That was put out there that people were going around, offering people money to come [heckle]. It’s crazy. But I have to say BravoCon was amazing to us. They said they went on right when the tickets went on sale for a picture with Luis and I and it was sold out like immediately.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime early next year.

RHOM’s Alexia Echevarria on ‘Sus’ Encounters With Luis & If He Tried to Date Her, Adriana Feud, and Thierry Drama, Plus Regrets, RHUGT Cast She’s In Touch With & Housewives Divorce Curse

[ad_1]

124

Alexia Echevarria appeared on Wednesday’s Watch What Happens Live, where she addressed claims of Luis Ruelas trying to date her before he struck up a romance with Teresa Giudice.

In addition to discussing her potential reconciliation with Adriana De Moura, 57, looking back on their drama with Thierry, and admitting she’s afraid of the Real Housewives divorce curse, the Real Housewives of Miami star, 56, addressed the change in dynamics amid season six and revealed who she’s still in touch with from Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip.

“With [Heather Gay] and with [Whitney Rose],” Alexia revealed on the November 1 episode of WWHL.

While Alexia left season five at odds with several of her castmates, including Dr. Nicole Martin, 38, she said that when it came to season six, she went in with a different mindset.

“Once we see ourselves on TV and we see those scenes, we are not happy with the person that we see and we try to make changes, and truthfully, I was good with all the girls. I just don’t know how I ended up there,” Alexia admitted. “I think that I’m very passionate when I speak or when I’m trying to defend myself, and we may say things that we don’t mean and it continues to get uglier. And that’s what happened but I’ve been with the girls for so many years already and then new girls that came into the show are wonderful. They all have so much to offer so I was like, this season, I’m not gonna do that.”

“I want all the girls to be together and I’m gonna bring all the girls together,” she added.

As for the odd demeanor of Guerdy Abraira, 45, who later confirmed she’d been diagnosed with breast cancer, on Wednesday’s RHOM, Alexia said she and her co-stars didn’t yet know what was wrong.

“At that moment, I just knew that emotionally, she was very unstable. But I didn’t know what was bothering her. I knew it had to be something but we just didn’t know what it was,” she shared.

She then confessed that she is afraid of the Housewives curse.

“I’m so scared. I’m like about to quit the show because all the ladies get divorced. It’s crazy,” she noted.

During a game of “Do! You! Regret It!?,” Alexia said she does regret insinuating that all Russian women are sex workers, which was a point of contention between her and Julia Lemigova, 51, during season five, and admitted she does not regret trying to meet with late ex-husband Herman Echevarria‘s male lover on camera.

As for not reading Adriana’s season five love interest’s full divorce document, which revealed Thierry was not still married, as she previously suspected, Alexia surprisingly had no regrets, explaining, “It came from a good place.”

Also on the live broadcast, Alexia revealed what it will take for her and Adriana to reconcile.

“I think it would take her kind of like standing up to who she is and wanting that friendship. She has to earn it back, but we’ve always cared for each other, so I’m sure we’ll get there,” she noted. “I feel like she has to want it just like I do, but we were never friends that way so when we get there, we get there.”

Later, during the WWHL: After Show, Alexia was asked if Luis tried to date her before Teresa, as Melissa suggested at the RHONJ season 12 reunion earlier this year.

“No, absolutely not,” Alexia confirmed, proceeding to explain their pre-Teresa interactions.

“We saw each other in Barcelona, but I was with [husband Todd Nepola] before he was with Teresa. He knew who I was, of course, [from RHOM],” she recalled. “We were staying in the same hotel and he was just being like nice, and friendly … He has an autistic son so he can relate to my journey so he came to me to speak to me and say what a great mom I was.”

But that wasn’t the only run-in they had.

“We met there for the first time, and then for whatever reason we saw each other again in some other country that we were traveling at the same time,” she shared, prompting fellow guest Garcelle Beauvais, 56, to ask, “Again?!”

“Yes, we were traveling somewhere else. I was with Todd the entire time so Todd saw the whole thing so it wasn’t like he was hitting on me. He was just talking to me,” Alexia insisted.

But Garcelle wasn’t so sure, noting that Luis’ behavior was “a little sus.”

“I guess,” Alexia replied, before insisting, “I don’t know why anybody thinks anything of it because I didn’t. I meet a lot of nice people and fans and I don’t think anything of it.”

At that point, Andy Cohen, 55, got involved, asking, “[Nice people] that then show up in another country and then wind up marrying… ?”

Still, Alexia wasn’t convinced that Luis’ intentions were impure.

“He’s from Jersey so I don’t know why anybody thinks anything. I don’t get it,” she stated. “Why does anybody want to make it more than what it is? It’s nothing, but people [suspect] he had an agenda, and he knew who she was and the same way that he met Alexia before but Alexia was in a relationship with Todd, maybe I’ll move into Teresa. But I don’t think that way.”

“I think that he of course knew who [Teresa] was. Everybody knows who we are. So yeah, he ended up with Teresa and now we’re all friends and everything’s great,” she added.

The Real Housewives of Miami season six airs on Bravo on Wednesdays at 9/8c and streams the next day on Peacock.

RHONJ Star Margaret Josephs Addresses Feud With Jackie Goldschneider, Where They Stand & If Jackie ‘Switched Sides’ as She Teases “Crazy” Season 14, Plus Dolores Speaks

[ad_1]

Margaret Josephs addressed her current relationship with Jackie Goldschneider amid reports of their feud and hinted at the reason for their drama as the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast concludes filming for season 14.

According to certain reports, Jackie’s falling out with Margaret weakened her relationship with Melissa Gorga as well – triggering Jackie to deepen her friendship with Melissa’s ‘nemesis,’ sister-in-law Teresa Giudice.

In an interview with The U.S. Sun, Margaret addressed the report that Jackie switched alliances.

“I don’t know if there’s much as sides as just, like, her and I aren’t as close as we used to be,” she expressed.

In the past, a source claimed Jackie and Margaret argued over Jackie’s new memoir, The Weight of Beautiful.

The source stated, “Jackie gave out copies of her book to a few cast members, but Margaret did not get one, and that made her question their friendship … Jackie believes Margaret is trying to give herself credit for getting the book deal, but really it was their shared publicist, who Margaret introduced to Jackie, who helped get the deal.”

In Margaret’s interview with the outlet, she denied there was any jealousy over the book deal. “I’ve already had my own book and so there’s no jealousy there,” she said. “I only wanted really good things for her.”

She went on to say, “I think we were always close. I think that we will always have that love for each other, but I think right now we just have to see where it goes.”

Teasing the new season, Margaret stated, “I think it’s still a crazy season as it always is. I think there’s new shifts in different relationships, which is very interesting to me … But I think people are going to enjoy [it]. I think we always managed somehow to surprise everybody.”

Margaret was also asked if she thinks Melissa and Teresa will fight on their upcoming trip to The Berkshires – amid reports that they’re simply ignoring each other. “I don’t [see it happening]. I think that ship has sailed and I think there’s nothing more to discuss,” she explained.

Her castmate Dolores Catania then added, “I don’t see any [fight]. Jersey is always very unpredictable, so I couldn’t tell you … Every day is different. Every day it’s easier to predict the weather than what’s going to happen on Jersey.”

Margaret then continued, “Listen, it’s been a crazy year. Besides the added stress so far, we are pretty healthy … [My husband Joe and I] try and maintain our health and everything else, but emotionally, we’ve had a crazy year. I’ll put it that way.”
