When Teresa Giudice sets her mind to something, she’s like a dog with a bone. The most obvious example is the years-long family feud that contributed to the demise of Real Housewives of New Jersey.
But in a surprising turn of events on the RHONJ, Tre was the exact opposite of a dog with a bone. She channeled her most Namaste B$tches-self. When it was finally revealed that ally Jackie Goldschneider had been entertaining Luis Ruelas’ ex-partner and nemesis, Tre barely batted an eye.
So what gives? Tre explained in a recent interview with BravoTV.
Jackie was the real villain
All of Season 14 was spent with Tre and her husband Luis blaming castmate Margaret Josephs for adding fuel to the fire in their ongoing legal battle with his ex-girlfriend. They accused Marge of befriending the ex and even subpoenaed her in their court case.
But during the finale episode, where the women tried to break bread and not each other’s faces, the truth came out. Marge told everyone that Jackie had actually had the ex over to her house. And that she was behind this mess.
To the shock of the cast and viewers, Tre barely registered a response. When she did, she said it was fine. WHAT?
“I already knew what they were gonna say and I didn’t even flinch,” Teresa explained. “I knew they were all hanging out with them, I knew they were all talking to them. Jackie had them at her house because Margaret’s not going to be that dumb and have them at her house. Margaret let Jackie do it because at the time, Jackie was Margaret’s puppet.”
“I get why she did what she did”
Referencing her past beef with Jackie, Teresa said she understood why Jackie did what she did. The Housewives OG added, “I’m totally fine with Jackie doing that because I hurt her. I hurt her by putting out what I said about [her husband] Evan [Goldschneider]. See? I’m a big girl. If I punch you, I get it, you’re gonna punch me back.”
“I could’ve gotten ugly, [but] that’s just not the person I am,” Teresa added. “And I said that to her: Whatever she did in the past, I don’t care. I get why she did what she did, I get it. I just don’t roll like her.”
During the episode, Jackie apologized to Tre and explained why she lied about it for so long. “I was scared to tell you because I didn’t want to f-ck this up,” said Jackie. “But I’m glad that you know because I was always nervous that you would find out.”
A special Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 wrap-up airs next Sunday, August 11, at 8/7c on Bravo.
