Another friendship is the Garden State has bitten the dust! Rachel Fuda reveals that she and Jennifer Fessler aren’t speaking after filming season 14 of RHONJ.
Throughout season 14 of RHONJ, fans can expect to see the friendships among the cast shift quite dramatically.
Changes in the cast’s friendship dynamics have already started to occur during episodes two and three of season 14.
For starters, Danielle Cabral chose to stay at Rachel and John Fuda’s shore house instead of bunking with Teresa Giudice and Dolores Catania at Jennifer Aydin’s house. Then, Jen Fessler having a one-on-one conversation at Nate Cabral’s celebration of life party down the shore.
Rachel was NOT a fan of seeing Jen F and Teresa get buddy-buddy again. Turns out Rachel and Margaret Josephs both struggle with the “changes” in their friendship with Jen F as she befriends Teresa throughout season 14.
The two are shocked that Jennifer F would choose to remain friendly with Teresa after she and Louie Ruelas allegedly hired a private investigator to look into members of the RHONJ cast. Both Louie and Teresa have denied the allegations.
“I don’t have a relationship with her right now. We haven’t spoken in probably over five months,” Rachel told Us Weekly of her friendship with Jennifer Fessler. “And right now, there’s no bad blood between us. But I can just say that my relationship with her is so disappointing.”
“What has transpired, what’s taken place — it’s really sad to see someone that was brought into this group of women by Margaret not back up their friends when they’re asked, ‘Do you believe that Louis called Margaret’s son?’ And you say, ‘She swore on her four kids.’ She’s a pathological liar. What are you talking about? You think Margaret is faking that? She was in hysteria that day. She called me. I spoke to her.”
Rachel continued: “So in saying that, my real issue is — and this is not even just for Jen Fessler — it’s across the board. We can be friends; you can be friends with anybody but don’t sit here and tell me what you think I want to hear, and then go be friends with somebody. That’s not how this works.”
“ If you like her, tell me, grow a pair, and tell me, ‘I like her. I want to be friends with her,’ and then we’re good. But if you’re not going to do that and you’re going to sit here and be like, ‘I don’t want to be in the same room as them. I don’t want to associate, I don’t want to be part of this group of women if that’s going to happen.’ … It is not connecting.”
RHONJ airs on Sundays at 8 pm on Bravo.
