Teresa Giudice reveals why she “didn’t flinch” when she heard about Jackie Goldschneider’s betrayal during the RHONJ season 14 finale dinner.
While RHONJ fans have expected Teresa Giudice to flip a table when she learned that Jackie Goldschneider was communicating with her husband, Louie Ruelas‘ ex, during the season 14 finale, the OG stayed zen and told her co-stars she was “fine with it.”
Instead, Teresa Giudice blamed whistleblower Margaret Josephs for publishing negative stories about Louie on social media and in the press.
This all left RHONJ fans confused and scratching their heads.
Now, the RHONJ OG tells BravoTV.com that she long suspected that her RHONJ rivals were speaking with Louie’s exes.
“I already knew what they were gonna say, and I didn’t even flinch,” Teresa said. “I knew they were all hanging out with them. I knew they were all talking to them. Jackie had them at her house because Margaret’s not going to be that dumb and have them at her house. … Margaret let Jackie do it because, at the time, Jackie was Margaret’s puppet.”
The 52-year-old then noted that she understood Jackie’s motivation for meeting with Louie’s ex. Teresa explained that at the time, she and Jackie were at odds after she repeated a rumor that Jackie’s husband, Evan, was cheating.
“I’m totally fine with Jackie doing that because I hurt her. I hurt her by putting out what I said about Evan,” Teresa said. “See? I’m a big girl. If I punch you, I get it, you’re gonna punch me back.”
“I could’ve gotten ugly, [but] that’s just not the person I am,” she added. “And I said that to her: Whatever she did in the past, I don’t care. I get why she did what she did. I get it. I just don’t roll like her.”
As for Jackie, she was apologetic.
“I was scared to tell you because I didn’t want to f— this up,” she told Teresa. “But I’m glad that you know, because I was always nervous that you would find out.”
Jackie then justified her actions.
“It was February of 2021. That season opened with me and Teresa and the whole world was weighing in on whether or not my husband was cheating on me. Teresa and Jennifer were calling people trying to get information on my husband; trying to get pictures of women,” the author said. “And here comes this women saying, ‘Hey, I got something to put in your pocket,’ so if Teresa was to say to me, ‘Well your husband did this,’ I could say, ‘Well your husband did this.’ That’s the game we were playing.”
“Who can blame me for doing it?” Jackie added.
After the RHONJ finale dinner, Jackie revealed that she talked to Teresa and Louie on the phone.
“They were really unbothered by it,” she said. “[But] I felt bad. Regardless of what she had done to me in the past, I still felt bad.”
