What happened between Teresa Giudice and Margaret Josephs? RHONJ’s Dolores Catania frets over duo's fallout
MONTVILLE, NEW JERSEY: The ongoing feud between Teresa Giudice and Margaret Josephs on 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 14 has reached a boiling point once again. In a recent episode, Teresa accused Margaret of attempting to tarnish her husband Luis Ruelas's reputation by collaborating with his ex-fiance.
This revelation follows the filing of a restraining order by Ruelas's ex-fiancee, Vanessa Reiser, who alleges that he hired a private investigator to stalk her. Teresa asserted that Margaret had been in contact with Reiser throughout the legal dispute, adding further stress to her family.
Giudice also claimed to have evidence of Margaret's involvement in the situation. Her daughter, Gia Giudice, is confident that the truth will come to light once the case is resolved.
In the latest episode of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 14, Dolores Catania informed Jennifer Fessler over the phone that she had booked a location for their upcoming girls' night trip. Despite this, Dolores voiced her concerns about the dynamic between Teresa and Margaret, given their recent conflict.
Dolores confided in her castmate about her worries, unsure of how Teresa and Margaret would interact during the getaway. The tension between the two women added an extra layer of drama and uncertainty to the upcoming trip, leaving the rest of the group on edge as they prepared for their time together.
When discussing the girls's retreat, Dolores said, "The goal isn't to people makeup and be friends. I don't know if everybody is meant to be friends. It has to be said in a civil way. I want it to be peaceful."
She mentioned that the girls would engage in team bonding activities during the trip to enhance their relationships and camaraderie. These activities are designed to promote unity and cohesion within the group, encouraging them to work together more effectively and support each other both on and off the field.

In a recent episode of the Bravo show, Teresa Giudice made pointed comments about Margaret's behavior and insinuated that there could be legal consequences for her actions. "I have nothing to say to Margaret. Tomorrow night is not the time or place. And you know, there's things that we can't speak about right now. There's more to come," Teresa told Luis.
Although Teresa did not reveal the specifics of her conversation with Margaret, she provided more details about the situation during her private interview. "There's things that I can't say because it involves legal issues and it's regarding Margaret Josephs. But I can't wait for the world to see what a liar she is.

'RHONJ' star Dolores Catania calls Teresa Giudice 'a mess'
In the latest episode, the subject of Teresa's friendship with Jennifer Aydin was brought up. In the previous season, specifically Episode 10 which aired on July 14, 2024, Jennifer had pointed out that Teresa did not offer her the same level of support that Jennifer provided Teresa. This remark was about Teresa's attempts to mediate between Aydin and Danielle Cabral following their heated altercation at a Bravo charity event.
However, Dolores seemed to believe that Jennifer has been struggling significantly with the ongoing court battle and the intense drama surrounding Teresa recently. During the episode, Dolores candidly expressed her frustrations about Jennifer's approach to confronting Teresa. She recounted a conversation she had with Teresa before a charity event hosted by Dolores, where Teresa shared similar sentiments.
“Teresa is a mess. She weighs about three pounds. On the way there, Teresa called me, she’s like, ‘I have anxiety beyond anxiety,’ and she goes, ‘If I pass out, please call 911. I’m not good,'” Dolores shared.
'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 14 airs every Sunday at 8 pm ET on Bravo.
