Real Housewives of New Jersey fans knew the cast’s dynamics were shaky, but season 14 sees cracks forming in friendships that are looking to be totally irreparable. Margaret Josephs assumes Teresa Giudice is holding a “Margaret Josephs burn meeting” in episode 13. Despite Dolores Catania clearing up that it wasn’t exactly that, Margaret had already sent a “potentially morbid” ‘gift’ to Teresa’s house.
Margaret Josephs has been in tears during RHONJ on multiple occasions this season. The Bravo star lost her ex-husband, Jan Josephs, and her husband, Joe Benigno, was dealt a cancer diagnosis. But, the reality TV star is also attempting to see the “hilarity” in some scenes of the show. During The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 episode 13 she’s “in mourning” of Teresa Giudice’s “dignity.”
Margaret’s special delivery
During season 13 episode 14, Jen Fessler heads over to Margaret’s house to have a much-needed glass of wine.
As the two sit down to catch up, Marge says: “Guess what? I pulled a real stunt?”
Say what you want about her but Margaret carried this season and she’s wildly entertaining. Team Marge. #RHONJ

Jen replies: “Oh god, what does that mean, do I even want to know?”

“Yes,” continues Margaret, “So, they’re at this event, you know, the Margaret Josephs ‘burn’ event? I sent a gift.”
Jennifer asks if the gift was “approved by anyone,” like Margaret’s husband, Joe, or her assistant, Lexi.
The reality TV star tells her friend: “I don’t have to get approval, I just thought it would be very, very funny.”
RHONJ ‘gift’ gets refused
Bravo star Margaret describes her gift as a “beautiful funeral arrangement on a stand.”
The scene then cuts to Teresa Giudice being presented with the arrangement on her doorstep.
The flowers arrived with a card reading: “Dear Teresa and James, sorry for the loss of your dignity, love, love, love, Marge.”
Teresa tells the delivery man to take the “gift” away: “She’s so disgusting… I don’t want it, refuse it… take it off my property…”
Flicking back to Marge and Jen’s meeting, Jen asks her: “A funeral arrangement is a little morbid, no?”
Marge then tells her she thinks it’s “f***ing hilarious.”
Though many RHONJ fans are taken aback by Margaret’s response to Teresa’s meeting, lots say they’re “wheezing” at the “comedy value” of her “gift.”
One took to X (Twitter) to say: “Margaret sending Teresa a funeral arrangement for the death of her dignity sent me!!!”
More say they think Marge’s “back must be hurting” as she’s “carrying the season.”
