After a controversial season on Actual Housewives of New Jersey, Margaret Josephs insists she by no means went after Teresa Giudice. Or her fiancé Louie Ruelas. Or Jennifer Aydin. Or Jennifer’s husband Invoice.
In Margaret’s thoughts, her motives are pure. She not too long ago acknowledged she was serving to Teresa and Louie when she introduced up all these allegations in opposition to him. Sadly, Teresa by no means noticed it that approach. As a substitute of thanking Margaret for her assist, the ‘OG’ threw a drink at her face.
On the Could 2 episode of the Behind The Velvet Rope podcast, Margaret instructed the season 12 reunion was harmful for her friendship with Teresa.
“You understand, Teresa and I, we’re actual associates,” mentioned Margaret. “I don’t suppose she thinks we might ever make up. I imply, she mentioned some horrible, horrible, horrible issues to me on the reunion. I went in considering that there may very well be some resolve… Now it’s very up within the air. I imply, she, it’s a tough one. It’s a tough one as a result of I’m not that particular person.”
Margaret claimed, “I’m very cautious to say issues that… I can come again from. I believe she says some issues that she may be very exhausting to come back again from… She mentioned some issues to me they’re actually hurtful, actually damage, that… They’re surprising.”
In keeping with Margaret, the group made a pact of nonviolence (which Teresa apparently broke). “Everybody says, Margaret, you poured water, you poured wine [but] we agreed after the ponytail pull as a collective group, that [Teresa] had orchestrated, that we’re not going to behave this fashion anymore. And that we’re going to make use of our phrases. And you already know, since that incident, final yr, we didn’t have any bodily altercations.”
What was Margaret’s least favourite season on RHONJ? “I’ll say my first season was very exhausting for me,” she answered. “The worst factor that has ever occurred to me on Housewives, worse than having my hair pulled is being referred to as an anti-Semite. That’s simply so, I believe it borderlined, it’s like felony, it’s the worst factor to ever occur to me as a result of I, like I’ve mentioned, my little one has had a bar mitzvah.”
Relating to her publicity of Invoice’s affair, Margaret mentioned, “I do remorse inflicting any ache to [his wife Jennifer’s] household. If I knew she would react that approach, I wouldn’t have mentioned it… She will not be that powerful. She will not be that powerful… You understand she is rather more delicate than she lets on to. I imply, what upset me after the very fact, even after we had our sit down, she was very aggressive on the after present.”
Apparently, Margaret now appears to choose Louie over Teresa. “At this level, he’s a lot sweeter to me than she is,” mentioned Margaret. “I imply, after the season finale, it’s not fairly, which you guys all noticed, he says some issues that, I’m not too glad about, however I believe after all people sees the reunion, we come to a greater place. And I believe he realized, I don’t know if she tainted him in the direction of it. I don’t know what it’s, however he’s a lot simpler to speak to after the very fact.”
She went on to say, “Teresa, I’ve by no means met any person who holds a grudge that lengthy. I imply, pay attention, she nonetheless holds a grudge in opposition to her sister and brother, you already know her sister-in-law for approaching the present some years in the past… I’m not a grudge holder.”
Margaret hinted that Teresa wants to vary. “You understand what? Possibly it’s time for change … Teresa’s acquired, you already know, all people has acquired to develop… It’s important to evolve.” Then, Margaret seemingly shaded Teresa’s age. “At one level, you’re not so younger anymore.”
The host of the podcast talked about Teresa’s anger towards Dolores Catania, who stayed by Margaret after the drink-throwing incident (Teresa interpreted this as an indication of disloyalty).
“That’s the dumbest factor I believe I’ve ever heard,” mentioned Margaret. “Dolores has been nothing however loyal to Teresa… That’s simply ridiculous. As a result of I imply, Dolores is essentially the most loyal good good friend to all people. You can be an excellent good friend to somebody and never agree with what they do. And what Teresa did that day was, nobody might.”
Margaret added, “It doesn’t validate what [Teresa] did to me. It simply doesn’t. I’m sorry. It simply doesn’t. I imply, if she threw a drink at me, I’d get moist. It wasn’t that. She threw a complete desk of meals and she or he cleared the desk. Glass might have damaged. And what would occur if my face acquired minimize? Something might have occurred.”
Many followers suppose Margaret, who as soon as shoved a person right into a pool, is being a bit hypocritical.
“Individuals want to say, ‘Margaret, you’re calculating, you’re manipulative.’ No, I’m not,” she insisted. “I don’t have an ulterior motive… Individuals say, ‘Oh Jackie and Melissa are so afraid of Margaret as a result of she is aware of all the things.’ Nicely d**n proper, I f**king know all the things.” However she was fast so as to add, “I’m not holding one thing in my again pocket.”
Margaret struggled to think about something she regretted on the present. “Hmm… Possibly I shouldn’t have poured water on Danielle’s head, however I don’t give a crap trigger I believe she, she got here in there on the lookout for a bodily altercation.”
Then, Margaret remembered one thing regrettable.
“Pigtail extensions [my] first season … That they had me trying just like the queen of Narnia.”
