Jackie Goldschneider opens up about Traci Lynn Johnson's absence at the *Real Housewives of New Jerse*y season 12 reunion. In a new interview with [Page Six](https://pagesix.com/2022/05/20/jackie-goldschneider-why-traci-was-cut-from-rhonj-reunion/), Jackie explains why Bravo edited Traci out of the reunion after the season 12 newbie filmed for hours with the cast. *“She was there for a really long time, she looked beautiful and she had on a stunning gold dress. But I don’t think Traci said anything groundbreaking at reunion that it had to go in. I really think they had to make a choice,”* Jackie said of RHONJ's producers and editors. *“I don’t think it was because they don’t think Traci was important to the cast,”* she added. The former attorney turned reality TV star feels Traci contributed *“so much”* to season 12 of the show. *“[She offered] forward progress with some of the storylines, especially the family piece with Melissa [Gorga] and Teresa [Giudice],”* Jackie said. She also applauded Traci for going toe-to-toe with RHONJ OG Teresa Giudice when she clashed with Melissa Gorga. *“She kind of stepped in and was the mediator with that,”* Jackie said, adding the drama  *“was one of the biggest scenes of the season.”* *“I just think that Traci always had an opinion, which always keeps the story moving forward,”* she continued. *“And her and Tiki were really just fun and brought a new energy.”* In conclusion, Jackie said she believes Traci and Teresa did get into it at the reunion but admitted it was such a long day that it's hard to remember everything that went down. *“It was such a long day. I do believe yes, they did [get into it],”* Jackie admitted. *“The whole day was such a whirlwind because it was really the longest, hardest reunion I’ve ever sat through. So, I don’t really remember everything. But I do feel bad that she was edited out.”* RHONJ will return for season 13 in late 2022 or early 2023. ## Thoughts on this all??
