Margaret Josephs and Jennifer Fessler’s friendship on “Real Housewives of New Jersey” went through a rough patch over a conversation Fessler had with Teresa Giudice, but they have since made amends. Josephs acknowledges that Fessler has made her feelings clear, and the two have settled their differences. Fessler describes their friendship as Mary and Rhoda from the “Mary Tyler Moore Show,” with her humor shining through in the comparison.
The disagreement between Josephs and Fessler arose when Fessler advocated for their mutual friend Rachel Fuda to Giudice, and also listened to Giudice’s side of the story. This led to a confrontation during Joe Gorga’s birthday party and an explosive exchange on camera. Josephs and Fuda were particularly upset due to alleged actions by Giudice’s husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, against their families during the previous season of the reality show.
During a scene on the show, Giudice denied the claims against her husband, swearing on her daughters that he did not make threatening calls to Josephs’ son. Fessler seemed torn when asked about her thoughts on the situation, expressing a desire to believe Giudice. Josephs expressed confusion over Fessler’s friendship with Giudice, especially after speaking poorly of Ruelas. Despite their differences, Josephs and Fessler have reconciled their friendship, but Fessler’s relationship with Fuda has not been salvaged.
During a live taping of Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast, Fuda revealed that she and Fessler are no longer speaking due to Fessler’s quick alliance with Giudice and Ruelas. Fuda accused Fessler of being easily manipulated by Giudice and buying into her deceit. The tensions between the trio remain unresolved as Fuda holds strong negative feelings towards Giudice and Fessler. The future of the friendships remains uncertain as the drama continues to unfold on “Real Housewives of New Jersey.”
With the show airing on Bravo, the drama surrounding the cast continues to attract viewers and spark discussions online. Fans of the series are eager to see how the dynamics between the women, especially Josephs, Fessler, Fuda, and Giudice, will play out in future episodes. The drama surrounding the alleged actions of Ruelas and the impact on the friendships within the cast adds an extra layer of intrigue to the show. As tensions rise and relationships evolve, viewers are captivated by the drama and conflicts that unfold among the “Real Housewives of New Jersey.”
