Margaret Josephs is revealing what she knows about Jackie Goldschneider‘s meeting with two of Luis Ruelas‘ ex-girlfriends.

Days after Jackie, 47, was exposed for digging into Luis’ past on the finale episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14, Margaret, 57, was asked why Jackie would turn on her, instead befriending Teresa Giudice, 52, and Jennifer Aydin, 47, knowing that Margaret could easily blast her for reaching out to Luis’ exes.

“I legitimately did not find out till a week before we filmed that season finale. The only reason, she didn’t tell anybody,” Margaret said of Jackie and her meetings on SiriusXM’s Reality Checked with Kiki Monique.  “She kept the cards close to her chest.”

According to Margaret, Jackie met with Vanessa Reiser and another Vanessa.

“She had, with not only the ex, Vanessa, but there were two Vanessas. She had both Vanessas at her home, two of them … at her house, which did not come out,” Margaret revealed. “She reached out to them. I have the screenshot of it, which was not shown, [on February 25, 2021], before Luis had ever even come on the show, and understandably so. She wanted to get Teresa back for spreading [the cheating] rumor [about Evan Goldschneider].”

While Teresa was unmoved by Margaret’s revelation about Jackie, Margaret, who was also accused of communicating with Luis’ ex, confirmed she felt vindicated after the season wrapped. 

“I feel so vindicated. It’s absolutely insane. I mean, it took the whole damn season for the truth to come out,” she stated.

As for the subpoena she received from Luis’ ex in her case against him, Margaret confirmed it was not court-ordered.

“I did get that subpoena in 2021 … It came regular mail and I was like, ‘What is this?’ It was to be a witness in a domestic violence case for Luis. I had no idea what it even was.”

Because Margaret didn’t “know anything” about the case, she took the subpoena to her lawyer and they agreed she didn’t have to attend.

“I think other people were called. I don’t really even know, but that was in 2021,” Margaret clarified.

She then added that it was another case involving investigator Bo Dietl in which the ex’s attorney reached out to numerous people.

“That was her case not just with Luis, but with Bo Dietl as well,” she stated.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 finale watch party airs Sunday, August 11, at 8/7c on Bravo.
