MONTVILLE, NEW JERSEY: The never-ending feud between New Jersey housewives Margaret Josephs and Jackie Goldshneider appears to show no signs of coming to a resolution anytime soon.

In a recent development, Margaret Josephs from 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey'​ made headlines for her scathing comments about her former friend Jackie Goldschneider, whom she referred to as a "fame wh**e" and even went as far as calling her 'Jackie Judas Goldschneider.' 

Margaret revealed that their friendship underwent a significant change when they started filming together. She noted that her friend had previously spoken negatively about Teresa and Jennifer but then suddenly became close with them. This shift in dynamics between the friends was surprising and unexpected.

Shortly thereafter, Jackie stepped up to support her friendship by clarifying that the most recent season of the Bravo program was characterized more by a sense of camaraderie among the group that gradually evolved into a competitive dynamic.

Jackie continued by explaining that despite what viewers may have missed on camera, she and Teresa had a brief but pleasant conversation at Jenn Fessler's birthday party. She elaborated on the fact that the two of them briefly connected and exchanged words during the event.

Margaret harshly labeled Jackie as a 'fame wh**e" who is willing to betray even her mother for personal gain. In a clip, viewers were shocked to hear Margaret make the bold statement that Jackie is essentially a carbon copy of Teresa, but with a higher level of intelligence and a more refined education.

Jackie Goldschneider stated that while their friendship may have started strategically, it has grown into a profound and lasting bond that continues beyond their time on camera.

Jackie decided to respond to Margaret's mention of her mother by expressing her feelings about the situation. “That person needs to stop talking about my mother. It’s classless," she said.

‘RHONJ’ star Jackie Goldschneider calls out Margaret Josephs for sharing their private message to Dolores Catania

Jackie Goldschneider recently explained her "slob" remark towards Dolores Catania during a recent episode of Two Ts In a Pod.

The 'RHONJ' star also criticized Margaret Josephs for sharing her private messages. Jackie sent her explanation via text, which Teddi read out during the episode.

Jackie wrote, "'Haha. I just meant it was sloppy behavior. I was venting privately to a friend before filming even started. Should have never been on camera. It was such a nasty thing to do.'"

During their conversation, Jackie went on to share her current perspective on Dolores.  The text further read, "'Obviously Dolores is not a slob, and I don't hate her. I was mad in the moment.'"

Upon discovering the hurtful jab made by Jackie, Dolores took the time to sit down and have a heart-to-heart conversation about why the insult had such a deep impact on her.

As Dolores processed the hurtful insult thrown by Jackie, she delved into the reasons behind why it cut so deep. In a recent interview on Season 14, Episode 7, Dolores expressed her disdain for being called a slob, emphasizing that the term holds negative connotations where she comes from.

Dolores said, "Getting called a slob from the girl who's a f**king hot mess almost every day, crying all the time over everything, and I'm the slob? I'm the f**ing slob? OK, Jackie."

After the episode aired, Margaret tried to defend her actions. While referencing to Season 14 tagline, she took to her Instagram Story and wrote, "Screenshots over cheap shots every time."

Jackie Goldschneider discloses Margaret Josephs wanted her and Jennifer Fessler to leave ‘RHONJ’ if Luis Ruelas returned

In a recent appearance on Page Six's 'Virtual Reali-Tea' podcast, Jackie Goldschneider accused her former best friend Margaret Josephs of advising her and Jenn Fessler to quit 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' if Teresa Giudice's boyfriend, Luis 'Louie' Ruelas, returned for Season 14.

Goldschneider alleged that Josephs suggested this to potentially avoid any drama or tension that Ruelas' presence on the show could bring.

Jackie explained that Margaret had made it clear that she preferred Louie to return to the show over Jackie and Jenn Fessler, indicating that she did not want them to be a part of the show if Louie was coming back.

The reality TV personality went on to explain that the individual in question expressed a desire to depart the situation and requested that everyone in their group do the same. “She wanted to leave and she wanted all of us to leave together," Jackie said.
