Melissa Gorga seemingly shaded Jackie Goldschneider on her podcast earlier this month after her Real Housewives of New Jersey castmate suddenly got close with her estranged sister-in-law, Teresa Giudice.

While chatting with guest Erin Lichy, 36, of The Real Housewives of New York City, Melissa, 44, targeted a co-star who flip-flopped, suggesting they did so in an effort to get more “airtime” before photos of Jackie, 47, and Teresa, 51, attending Jennifer Aydin‘s Christmas party hit the web.

“We definitely have people on our show, especially this season, woof if they’re starting to feel less than or like they’re not getting enough airtime of some sort, they’ll just gravitate the complete other way cause they’re like well this will get me airtime,” Melissa explained to Erin on the November 9 episode of On Display With Melissa Gorga. “It’s the most frustrating thing when it comes to Housewives but I think that’s what makes the show go round also. It’s frustrating.”

Following the episode, and after Melissa and Teresa, of course, celebrated the holidays separately amid their messy feud, Jackie took to her Instagram page to share a series of photos of herself, Teresa, and Jennifer at Jennifer’s New Jersey home.

“Sugar and spice and everything wrapped nice! Thank you, [Jennifer Aydin] for such a great kick off to the holiday season!” she captioned the post, which featured a group photo of her, Teresa, and Jennifer standing in front of Jennifer’s Christmas tree.

At the same time, Jennifer shared her own slideshow, which featured the same image but zoomed out.

“Threw a last minute small get-together to enjoy what the Holiday season is all about: Love. God gave us the gift of His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, because of His Love for us ALL!!! I wish everyone a beautiful Holiday season!” she captioned her post.

Jennifer also included a shot of Jackie and Teresa looking super cozy.

As she appeared to distance herself from Melissa and discussed her “new friendships” amid her feud with Margaret Josephs, 56, during production on season 14, Jackie addressed her newfound relationship with Teresa, who she’s feuded with on and off for years.

Speaking to Good Day New York, Jackie confirmed she has a “really good thing going” with Teresa.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 will premiere on Bravo sometime in early 2024.
