Teresa Giudice called Margaret Josephs a “jealous Single White Female” who’s “obsessed” with her and addressed the timeline for when Margaret communicated with Luis Ruelas’ ex. Around the same time, Real Housewives of New Jersey fans noticed that a controversial clip of Luis didn’t appear in the latest episode, though it was shown in the trailer.
In the episode, Teresa’s lawyer shared that Margaret’s involvement with Luis’ ex was exposed in court findings amid the ex’s temporary restraining order, despite Margaret’s insistence that she hadn’t spoken to her in 2021. According to the attorney, Margaret told the ex that she was planning on exposing Luis and Teresa.
“There was always something that was telling me to stay away from Margaret,” said Teresa in an interview for BravoTV, via @esteco2 on X. “Like I never got close to her. There was just always something about her that I was not comfortable with.”
“She outed the cheating rumor with Bill [Aydin], she brought that to light. She f**ked [over] Jackie [Goldschneider],” Teresa went on. “She said stuff about Dolores and Paul, and now she’s denying it.”
She then called Margaret an “obviously jealous Single White Female [who’s] obsessed with me.”
“She saw that I was happy [with Luis] … [but] instead of being happy for me, [she’s] talking to someone that’s hurting our family,” the star added.
Teresa also addressed the timeline of when Margaret started communicating with Luis’ ex – after a recent sneak peek for the season finale showed Margaret adamantly denying she spoke to her in 2021.
“I met Luis July 2020,” said Teresa. “We subpoenaed Margaret Josephs [in] November 2021.”
Though castmates didn’t overtly call Margaret out over the allegations, Teresa hinted that her co-stars are “smart,” and they are “keeping it in the back of their head.”
In her own interview, Margaret claimed Teresa was “obsessed” with her. She also claimed she would call out any friend for doing something “pure f**king evil,” and she slammed Teresa and Luis for what they allegedly did to her and Dolores.
Back in Teresa’s interview, she asked why anyone would want to be friends with someone who would send funeral flowers to another person’s house with a note about the ‘loss’ of their dignity.
“So dark,” Teresa. “I’m like, ‘Thank you God … I’m doing a good job. My intuition about her was right.’”
Meanwhile, fans are wondering why a clip of Luis – which was shown on a preview last week – didn’t make it on the latest episode.
In the preview, Luis spoke about Margaret in a conversation with his father and Teresa.
“This woman I thought was my friend,” said Teresa of Margaret, via @RHONJ_OBSESSED on X.
Luis then smiled and said, “She’s a skank.”
But the clip wasn’t shown in episode 12.
Some are speculating that the edit was made last minute. In some cases, however, a clip will be saved for the reunion. But in this case, a traditional reunion wasn’t filmed. So will the quote disappear – or pop up when we least expect it?
