Margaret and Jackie were so close
Until 2022, Margaret Josephs and Jackie Goldschneider were good friends. However, Margaret can’t shake two issues: one is tied to Jackie’s book, the other concerns Margaret’s late ex-husband, Jan Josephs.
Jackie gave out copies of her book to a few cast members, but Margaret did not get one and that made her question their friendship. Margaret also claims Jackie didn’t reach out when her husband died.
When Jackie wasn’t invited to a party, she told Margaret, “You don’t take my side in anything.” However, Margaret simply returned her statement with the question, “What have you ever done for me?”
RHONJ star ‘threw Jackie under bus’
RHONJ fans are convinced Margaret threw Jackie “under a bus”. After their season 14 blow-up, one fan said, “Margaret was never Jackie’s friend. I’m glad Jackie is just now realizing that.”
Another penned, “the fact Margaret throws Dolores [Catania] a bone literally 2 seconds after an argument with Jackie and she not only throws Jackie under the bus but she also runs her tf over.”
“Margaret threw Jackie under the bus so quickly it’s unbelievable. With friends like that who needs enemies. I’ve noticed Jackie is so obsessed with being included since demoted to a friend,” said a fan.
The way Marge treated Jackie at that party will never sit right with me. It was a scene straight out of mean girls. Margaret is too old to be out here cosplaying Regina George. #RHONJ

Former BFFs no longer talk
During a BravoCon talk, Margaret noted that she and Jackie “are not where [they] used to be.” She said, “We are not as close as we used to be, which is sad, she informed me. So I think I took offense to that.”
After Margaret’s husband died in 2022, she brought up her late ex-husband’s passing to Jackie a year later and said it was the anniversary of his death. Jackie said, “Wow, I didn’t realize.”
Jackie explained that she feels ignored by Margaret. “I feel like you don’t give me the time of day any more,” she insisted, before admitting she allowed Margaret to feel superior for “a long time.”
