Season 13 Feuds Resurface to Stir New Drama
A significant portion of the current drama stems from unresolved issues dating back to Season 13. Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga’s feud escalated after an incident where they accused Teresa and Jennifer Aydin of spreading a cheating rumor about Melissa’s husband, Joe Gorga. This arc has continued into the current season, impacting relationships across the cast.
Tamra Judge’s Insights
Reality TV star Tamra Judge shared on her podcast, Two Ts In A Pod, that Margaret isn’t pleased with her screen time. Judge revealed, I talked to [Margaret]. She’s not very happy
. According to Judge, Margaret feels frustrated that her interactions with Teresa are being disproportionately featured, overshadowing other aspects of her life.
An Eroding Friendship
Casting shadows over the season’s narrative is Jackie Goldschneider’s admission about ending her friendship with Margaret. Jackie expressed, You are going to see what else happens to me and Margaret. I will say that anybody who watches what happens and doesn’t think I have a right to have ended that friendship [is] watching a different show than me
. This rift is rooted in deeper issues, including loyalty disputes and an incident involving Jackie’s book.
Jackie Goldschneider Speaks Out
Jackie provided more context, highlighting underlying loyalty issues: Before the season started is when our breakdown began. There were issues before the season even started, and so I think that things just escalated on camera, and I think that Margaret expects and demands a lot of loyalty
. This paints a complex picture of Margaret’s expectations from her friends.
The Podcast Revelation
Tamra Judge’s podcast conversation also sheds light on broader frustrations felt by long-time cast members. During her show, Tamra noted how the focus on Teresa might not represent all facets of Margaret’s life: [When they filmed] she talked about a million different things, but they’re only gonna show her talking about Teresa nonstop.
The Complexity of Filming Reality TV
Mellencamp, Tamra’s co-host and former star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, added her perspective by questioning what other content could be shown. This points to the ever-present tension between production choices and cast members’ desired narratives.
Loyalty and Drama Off-Screen
Jackie emphasized how loyalty plays a crucial role in friendships within the show: I think that Margaret expects and demands a lot of loyalty and that translated into not being able to move forward with other parts of my life.
The ongoing feuds serve as both entertainment for viewers and personal challenges for the cast.
