'RHONJ' Season 13: Teresa Giudice uninvited Dolores Catania from engagement party over off-camera fight
NEW JERSEY: Dolores Catania was not invited to the engagement party of Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas, according to Jackie Goldschneider, because they were involved in an off-camera "fight." Jackie made this claim during an episode of 'RHONJ: After Show.'
When it was revealed that Dolores' friend Teresa did not invite her to her engagement party, fans of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' felt terrible for Dolores. Viewers of 'RHONJ' know that the two have a long history dating back to elementary school. Teresa seems happy to have Dolores in the group. The OG began to experience problems as the mother of two became acquainted with the other ladies. Teresa had already said that neither Melissa Gorga nor Dolores would be bridesmaids in her wedding to Luis. When Dolores discovered that she was not on the guest list at Teresa's engagement party, the situation became much worse.

Jackie Goldschneider spills tea on off-camera drama
After the April 4 episode of 'RHONJ' in which Dolores and Jennifer Aydin received a last-minute invitation to Teresa's bridal shower, Jackie talked about her alleged animosity while the rest of the group reacted to Teresa's bridesmaid lineup drama. Jackie went on to talk about the difficulties of being chosen to see Teresa's display of 100 pounds of synthetic hair in the middle of August. "I've heard that Dolores and Teresa had a fight and that's why she wasn't at the engagement party. I think Dolores was overheard saying something and Teresa found out and they had a fight about it," Jackie claimed on 'RHONJ: After Show' on April 4.
After Melissa mentioned that Dolores and Dina Manzo, who was present at the event, "don't get along," Margaret Josephs asked why Dolores would say "yes" to Teresa's belated invitation, especially since it came after Dina had called off her wedding.
"What’s going on here? Why would you say ‘yes’ to this?" She inquired. "[Teresa] didn’t want you the first time. You weren’t even at the engagement party. There’s endless reasons that she wasn’t at the engagement party that we’ve heard go around."
Melissa concurred, saying "Dolores should've been like, in the first round of ask." She was the second round of ask. I know Dina was originally supposed to be in it, and then when Dina was no longer going to come or be in it, then Dolores was asked."
Dolores Catania was still 'happy' and 'excited' to be included
Teresa didn't intend to have bridesmaids at her wedding. Despite the lack of respect shown to her, Dolores was happy to be there, if only as a substitute. Dolores expressed her joy at being part of the celebration, especially after knowing Dina couldn't attend. "I live in the moment, and I was living for her moment and her being happy, and really that's it, and I was so happy to be a part of it," she said.
