Jackie Goldschneider addressed a half-hour phone call with Teresa Giudice and her husband Luis Ruelas after the Real Housewives of New Jersey season finale, where Jackie admitted that Luis’ ex came to her house. She also revealed when she stopped speaking to the ex, and Teresa shared more details about the story.
When Jackie met with this ex – who allegedly gave her information to use against Teresa – the two castmates were in the midst of a war after Teresa brought up cheating rumors about Jackie’s husband.
The co-stars made up earlier this season, but in the finale, Margaret exposed that Jackie met the ex. Margaret, who also communicated with the ex, made it seem like Jackie was the only culprit behind the anti-Luis campaign.
“I think Margaret and Melissa were waiting to tell me that Jackie had Luis’ two exes … at her house,” said Teresa in an interview for BravoTV, via @therealhousewiveszone on Instagram.
In her own interview, Jackie addressed Margaret’s insinuation that Jackie was responsible for everything related to Luis’ ex.
“Margaret thought that she was going to dismiss her culpability by putting it all on me, but the truth is that once my fight with Teresa was over, I stopped speaking to that ex. So I hadn’t spoken to her in years,” said Jackie, who was “caught off guard” by Margaret’s declaration, which is why she initially “denied it.”
“And then I was like, ‘F**k it.’ I’m gonna admit it, and if Teresa doesn’t want to be my friend anymore, I get it,” she went on.
But in her own interview, Teresa shared that she “already knew” about it, and she “didn’t even flinch” when Margaret said it.
“I knew that they were all hanging out with [the exes],” said Teresa. “I think they were all talking to them. Jackie had them at her house because Margaret’s not gonna be that dumb and have them at her house. Or Melissa’s not gonna have them at her house because Melissa then is gonna look so bad [because] that’s my sister-in-law. And Margaret let Jackie do it because you know, at the time Jackie was Margaret’s puppet.”
Jackie then shared that, years ago, Luis’ ex “reached out” to her and every other cast member, and she gave her “something that I could use” if Teresa didn’t stop their war.
And Teresa said she was “totally fine” with Jackie meeting the ex because Teresa “hurt her” with the cheating rumors.
Jackie shared she had a “half-hour call” with Teresa and Luis the day after she admitted to meeting the ex.
“I felt bad, regardless of what she had done to me in the past … because I did deny knowing the ex, of course I did, because I didn’t want to be in the middle of it,” she said.
