'RHONJ': Margaret Josephs claims mistresses are 'real victims' of cheating, fans say 'girl, bye'

'Margaret is really trying to make this 'Justice for Mistresses' thing happen #RHONJ,' joked a fan

As expected the second part of 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' season 12 reunion was a glorious yet chaotic mess with angry storm-offs, cheeky remarks, and of course loud screaming matches. While there were several jaw-dropping moments peppered throughout the reunion, one that particularly stood out for the Bravo show fans was when Margaret Josephs made the bold claim that the mistresses are the 'real victims' in a cheating situation. 

During the reunion, the women began discussing Jennifer Aydin getting the woman her husband Bill Aydin had an affair with fired from the company. While all the ladies kept quiet, Marge chimed in and pointed out how Jen's actions were pro-men and not pro-women. Marge felt that men get away with little to no consequences, while women especially the mistresses pay the price and bear the brunt of cheating. Marge felt that Jen gave her husband a pass for his actions but sabotaged the other woman by ruining her career. When fans watched Marge trying to portray mistresses as the victims, they were left feeling bemused.
