A source revealed screenshots of a message exchange suggesting that Margaret Josephs allegedly had her producer friend try to find dirt on a newbie castmate who was friends with Teresa Giudice – Margaret’s current enemy.
On the current season of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa claimed Margaret communicated with her husband Luis’ ex to get negative info on him. Margaret has also been accused of fostering friendships with producers who protect her in the editing room.
A recent source, via @allabouttrh on Instagram, said she was contacted by someone allegedly looking for dirt on newbie castmate Michelle Pais, the source’s ex-best friend.
“Long story short… I am 44 now, I haven’t seen or spoken to [Michelle] in maybe 15 years,” the source said of Michelle, who joined the show as a ‘friend’ in season 10. “We had a falling out as things happened in our twenties – As our twenties go, we sometimes do some not so great things, we grow up, we move on – I would never burn someone later in life.”
“I hear some rumbles of rumors that this person will be on the show as a friend of Teresa – Then I get a random text message,” the source went on. “[It’s] a number that I don’t know (I never delete a contact, I just relabel them) – It’s a screenshot of my old friend’s instagram post announcing she will be on the show or something [on] August 10th 2020.”
“They wrote under the screenshot ‘can you believe this?! lol’ I am like who is this?!” the source continued.
In a screenshot of the messages, the source allegedly responded to the mystery number: “I almost never delete numbers from my phone… but whomever this is, I do not have you… New number??”
The source recalled, “They ghost [me]… So I do some research & look up the number – I find the person, [name redacted] He is a producer & looks like a good friend of Margaret via [his] IG – I call him out on it – He tells me oh sorry wasn’t meant for you, wrong number.”
But the source couldn’t believe the producer “accidentally messaged” the “ex best friend” of the new castmember, “pretending to talk s**t.”
“I just didn’t take the bait,” the source added. “I am just curious how I was connected to Michelle – Michelle and I have not been associated with each other since MySpace lol I actually considered contacting her to tell her to be careful but I decided to just let it be… They were probably half way through filming at this point.”
The source also shared a photo of Margaret with the alleged producer.
