In the above preview for the The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 special, “Off the Rails,” we get to see Teresa Giudice and Jackie Goldschneider sit side-by-side and prepare to relive Margaret Josephs’ bombshell revelation involving Luis “Louie” Ruelas.
Teresa and Jackie are, more specifically, gearing up to rewatch the conversation that went down on the RHONJ Season 14 finale (and the rest of the episode along with their castmates).
Anticipating what’s to come, Jackie says, “I’m not excited to watch the finale, but my plan today, honestly, I’m not trashing anyone. I’m not interested in adding to the toxicity.”
As for what Jackie does plan to do? “My priority is who I’m really friends with,” she says to both Teresa and Jennifer Aydin. “I consider you guys my real friends. And Jenn Fessler, of course.”

Are Teresa Giudice and Jackie Goldschneider friends today?
Yes. Reflecting on what Margaret revealed about Jackie in a July interview with BravoTV.com, Teresa said, “I already knew what they were gonna say and I didn’t even flinch. Margaret let Jackie do it because at the time, Jackie was Margaret’s puppet.”
“I’m totally fine with Jackie doing that because I hurt her,” Teresa continued, referencing the time she repeated a rumor she had heard about Jackie’s husband, Evan Goldschneider. “I hurt her by putting out what I said about Evan. See? I’m a big girl. If I punch you, I get it, you’re gonna punch me back.”
