Margaret Josephs says that Jennifer Aydin was a big part of spreading false information about the Gorgas this season on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.”
The Drink Soirée co-founder Margaret, who is 55 years old, will talk about the drama in an upcoming episode of the “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast.
The reality star says, “I wish Teresa [Giudice] would have stopped it.” She also says she doesn’t know if Giudice, 50, is behind the rumour about her brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga. “I’m not sure,”
Josephs, on the other hand, says that Aydin, who is 45 years old, is to blame for spreading lies about the couple all over the Garden State. She tells us, “I know for a fact that Jennifer did.”
As seen in the Season 13 trailer for “RHONJ,” Aydin is said to have said at least once that Melissa, 43, cheated on Joe, 47, with Danielle Cabral, who is new to the show.
Aydin says, “He saw Melissa making out with someone else in the backseat.”
In August 2022, Giudice and Gorgas had a fight, and Joe and Melissa decided at the last minute not to attend Giudice’s wedding to Luis “Louis” Ruelas. After a fight broke out during the filming of Bravo’s Season 13 finale, they decided to skip the ceremony.
When Giudice said that Melissa was accused of cheating on Joe with her longtime friend Nick Barrotta, things got heated. Gorgas, who have been married since 2004 and have three children together, allegedly “laughed off” the claims, even though they didn’t agree.
After that, Melissa said on her “On Display” podcast, “Sometimes when things are too toxic and you try and try and try and it just keeps coming back to the same thing, even if it’s family, you have to let it go.”
Unlike Aydin, Josephs has tried to help Giudice and the Gorgas come to an agreement in the past.
The author of “Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget” says, “I don’t know if [Aydin] thinks she can’t be nice to [the Gorgas] because she’s friends with Teresa.”
But I think Teresa would appreciate Jennifer’s attempts to bring them back together more than my attempts to keep them apart.
After getting into a very nasty fight with Giudice the season before, Josephs and Giudice made up while filming Season 13, and Josephs even went to her big wedding. She is still close with Gorgas, but she doesn’t know if she will be able to help the two sides get back together in the future.
She says it’s like trying to bring peace to the Middle East. “I’m not sure,” Josephs said, adding that it wasn’t easy to reconnect with Giudice after the “RHONJ” star’s relationship with the Gorgas fell apart.
“You want to know the truth?” It hurt a lot. It made me feel bad. I felt awful because I knew Melissa was in pain. She says, “It was upsetting and sad.” I know that Joe’s grief got worse as the season went on. And I remember that Teresa was sad at the time.
Josephs says, “I tried over and over again to try to fix things between them, and it was hard to see with family… But the seas are deep, and it’s been a while.
The 13th season of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” starts on Tuesday, February 7 at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
