RHONJ Drama Explodes: Rachel Fuda Claps Back at Jackie Goldschneider and Defends Her Husband, Plus Jackie Wants Danielle Fired!

Rachel Fuda clapped back at Jackie Goldschneider on Instagram after seeing that her Real Housewives of New Jersey co-star had said she was “mean” and shaded her husband, John Fuda, in a recent interview.

After Jackie, 48, took aim at Danielle Cabral, 39, over her physical altercation with Jennifer Aydin, 47, stating that cast members should be fired for violence on Real Housewives shows, Rachel, 33, had a poignant statement for Jackie, who also suggested that she wasn’t “[thinking] for herself” on the series.

“Rachel was so, like, mean last season. She was just not in a good mood. Mean. And I worry about her spouse and his past,” Jackie told Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea. “I think if Rachel could go back to being a little lighter and less, like, I mean, on these shows, no one wants to see the same fight over and over again, so when someone offers an apology, if it’s a heartfelt apology, you move past it.”

According to Jackie, Rachel was unable to move past certain issues due to her allegiance to women on the cast.

“She had to be loyal to one side and stay mad at the other side, and it doesn’t work. So if she could get rid of those loyalties and be more in the middle and think for herself, then I think she’d be good,” Jackie noted.

As for Danielle, Jackie continued, “I think there should be a zero tolerance of physical violence on these shows, across the board, all Housewives shows. I think once you put your hands on somebody in an altercation, you should be gone.”

Looking ahead to season 15 of RHONJ, Jackie confirmed she would never want to be on a show with Danielle.

“I don’t feel particularly safe that if I had an argument with her, that I wouldn’t get punched in the face. So I wouldn’t want to see Danielle back,” she explained.

Following the sharing of the interview, Rachel didn’t mince words.

“Oh shut up Jackie,” she wrote in a comment.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently on pause ahead of season 15.
