What is happening on Real Housewives of New Jersey? When Jackie Goldschneider ditched her longtime friend Margaret Josephs for Teresa Giudice, viewers were puzzled. Teresa and Jackie argued their way across several seasons, but somehow ended up being friends. If you thought that something sneaky was happening behind the scenes, you might be right.
In a recent episode of RHONJ, Teresa admitted that she used Jackie to take down Margaret. After the episode aired, Rachel Fuda called Jackie the laughing stock of Bravo.
Ouch! And let’s not forget that Jackie is in hot water with Dolores Catania for calling Dolores a f*cking slob
in a text to Margaret, which Dolores then read. Now Dolores seems to be done with Jackie.
The Strategic Friendship With Teresa
Meanwhile, Jackie still shows affection towards Teresa, even calling her a better friend
than Margaret. Jackie explains: At [Jennifer] Fessler’s birthday party, Teresa and I actually did talk for a few minutes. It started out as small talk but evolved into pleasant and meaningful interaction.
The Infamous Dog Party Scene
It’s a club for one honey, you’ve joined it because you’re a running joke.
A mortified Rachel Fuda was quick to intervene but not before things escalated at Jennifer Aydin’s dog birthday party. The event appeared to host half of New Jersey and was the stage for some rather sharp exchanges.
The dog party also gave viewers more context about the newly forged relationship between Teresa and Jackie. Jackie mentioned: At Jennifer Aydin’s dog party, we spoke again, and I think we started to see there was a path forward for us both.
The Evolving Dynamics
Jackie added: The friendship may have started off strategically, but it turned into something really nice and beautiful that continued off-camera.
I must admit, it’s surprising to see Teresa and Jackie hanging out in real life. Much to my surprise, Jackie even said: To this day, she’s the only person that I’ve spoken to on the phone today.
Teresa Giudice feels that Jackie is a better friend towards her now, despite their rocky history. Jackie’s friendship pool might have been shrinking after falling out with Margaret, Dolores, and Melissa Gorga, so maintaining this bond with Teresa appears advantageous.
