Season 14 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey was divisive and toxic. Bravo pulled the plug on a reunion because of the fractures in the cast. Margaret Josephs was feuding with both Teresa Giudice and former friend Jackie Goldschneider. As you may recall, Margaret claimed that Teresa’s hubby, Luis Ruelas, called her son at work and threatened him. Of course, Luis denied it. Now Margaret is weighing on who ruined Season 14 of RHONJ, while some cast changes are reportedly on the horizon.
Margaret Josephs says that Teresa Giudice won’t let of of her grudges
Margaret was a guest on the podcast Taste of Taylor, and she sounded off on Teresa. “I think we have just gotten too far. My honest opinion is I think people handle things wrong. I think people drag it out too long,” Margaret stated. “I think people don’t know how to move on.”
Then Margaret called Teresa a “grudge holder” who “beats a dead horse.” Holy sprinkle cookies! What is Marge saying? “She drags it, she revives it, she gives it CPR, and then kills it again,” Margaret stated. “And you know what? It’s not good for TV anymore. I’m just over it. Move on.”
During the Season 14 finale, Luis made a startling statement about Margaret and her son, who isn’t part of the show. “I hope Margaret and her family suffer. You know? I hope her f*cking son suffers the way I suffered,” he told Teresa. “The way other people in our family have suffered.”
Basically, Luis and Teresa believed that Margaret was involved with Luis’ ex who was suing him. They accused Margaret of leaking negative stories about Luis. Seriously? No one needs to leak stories about Luis. He opens his mouth and gets himself in trouble, like when he stated that he wears Nonno’s pajamas.
And Margaret knows just what RHONJ needs. “We don’t need the dark deep [expletive]. We need to bring levity to these shows, the petty nonsense,” she explained. As for the current cast? “One bad apple can ruin the bunch. You are only as good as your team,” Margaret said. I think it is fair to assume that Margaret was shading Teresa.
