Margaret Josephs and Melissa Gorga aren't thrilled with Jackie Goldschneider's growing friendship with RHONJ OG Teresa Giudice. Bravo fans will see [Jackie Goldschneider](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/jackie-goldschneider/)'s rollercoaster relationship with [Teresa Giudice](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/teresa-giudice/) take a positive turn when season 14 of RHONJ premieres in 2024. While filming [season 14 of RHONJ](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/11/07/rhonj-s14-explosive-dinner/), Jackie and Teresa's up-and-down relationship blossomed into a genuine friendship as the 47-year-old's close bond with Melissa Gorga and Margaret Josephs strained. ![RHONJ cast at Teresa Giudice](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screen-Shot-2023-10-16-at-7.54.34-AM-1007x1200.png)RHONJ cast at Teresa's Tipsy in Tulum party At [BravoCon 2023](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/11/04/bravocon-2023-inside-day-one/), Jackie opened up to *[Us Weekly](https://www.usmagazine.com/)* about how her friendship with Teresa came about after years of feuding. ***"Growing, new, mutually respectful, and unexpected," ***Jackie explained when asked to describe her friendship with Teresa. She elaborated: ***"It was really organic. It was like we were just talking at a party, and then we were talking more, and then we started calling each other, and then we hung out and started hugging, like we like each other. It really grew organically."*** Melissa and Margaret also weighed in on Jackie and Teresa's new-found friendship at BravoCon. ***“Jackie and I are not where we used to be in life; we’re not where we used to be, which is sad,"*** [Margaret Josephs](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/margaret-josephs/) said during part one of the [RHONJ panel](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/11/08/rhonj-jennifer-aydin-rude-fan/)at BravoCon. ***"She informed me that we were not as close as we used to be. I think I took offense to that, and things went a little south,"*** she continued. ***"She has a nice case of amnesia."*** [Melissa Gorga](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/melissa-gorga/) chimmed in: ***"I love Jackie; we've been friends forever, but a lot of things came out of left field... It's confusing for me. I don't know how authentic she's being about her new decisions in life. Everyone needs to remember who their friends are when they're down, not just when they're standing back up."*** ![RHONJ](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/rhonj-drama-season-13-1200x801.jpg)RHONJ's Jackie, Melissa, and Margaret during the better days of their friendship Meanwhile, both Margaret and Melissa also talked to *[Page Six](https://pagesix.com/2023/11/07/entertainment/margaret-josephs-and-jackie-goldschneider-detail-rhonj-feud/)* about their friendship woes with Jackie and her friendship with Teresa. Margaret doesn't care about Jackie's friendship with Teresa but says it's ***"not very authentic to who [Jackie] really is, but you know some people need to feel relevant." *** She adds: ***"I'm cordial to Jackie, I will always love her...I have a soft spot in my heart for her, but we're not in a good space." *** When it comes to speculation that [Jackie and Margaret](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/11/07/rhonj-jackie-margaret-texts-fake/)‘s drama has something to do with the 47-year-old’s recently released memoir, [“The Weight of Beautiful](https://www.amazon.com/Weight-Beautiful-Jackie-Goldschneider/dp/1668023806?tag=pagesix-20&asc_refurl=https://pagesix.com/2023/11/07/entertainment/margaret-josephs-and-jackie-goldschneider-detail-rhonj-feud/&asc_source=web)," Margaret said: ***“I championed her for that book; I wanted her book to be successful. I had my own book with Simon & Schuster [that] did unbelievably well, and I want only good things for her. I want good things for everybody. Even if I don’t love them, I want good things for people, you know what I’m saying? I support women unconditionally.” *** ***“No one gets anywhere on their own. This is a team. I have a beautiful team behind me. I couldn’t be me without everybody behind me,”*** Margaret continued. ***“I think she got very offended when I said, ‘I championed you,’ and that didn’t mean anything behind it. And I think she was very offended that I said that.”*** On the other hand, Melissa believes that Jackie created drama with Margaret for attention and more screen time throughout season 14 of RHONJ. ![Melissa Gorga and Jackie Goldschneider appear on WWHL together.](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/MV5BMGU1MDM4NTMtYzk1OC00MjE3LTg5YmEtMzRiNjgwNmEyYjFlXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTQxNzMzNDI@._V1_-1200x675.jpg)Melissa Gorga and Jackie Goldschneider appear on WWHL together. ***“I think that sometimes people feel like they need to ruffle feathers to make a splash — and it’s unfortunate,”*** the [On Display podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-display-with-melissa-gorga/id1596966397)host said. ***“You need to stay authentic to your true self, and I think she’s looking for rumblings, trying to throw things out there and seeing if they stick,”*** she continued. ***“And God bless."*** At BravoCon, [Dolores Catania](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/dolores-catania/) also [weighed in on Jackie's fallout with Melissa and Margaret](https://people.com/bravocon-2023-jackie-goldschneider-grateful-new-friendships-amid-falling-out-with-rhonj-margaret-josephs-8391427). According to Dolores, the entire RHONJ cast was ***“surprised at the Jackie situation.”*** ***“I was. I think everybody was. They’re not in the same place they used to be, Jackie and Margaret,” ***Dolores explained. ***“But I’m happy she’s here, and I’m in a good place with Jackie. That’s all that matters to me.”*** ![Danielle Cabral celebrates Boujie Kidz with her friends and RHONJ co-stars.](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screen-Shot-2023-10-04-at-10.13.04-AM.png)Danielle Cabral celebrates Boujie Kidz with her friends and RHONJ co-stars. Credit: Danielle Cabral/Instagram As for Jackie, she's made it clear that she isn't ***"sad"*** over the ending of her friendship with Margaret. ***“There was a trust that got broken, and I don’t know that that’s so easily repaired,”*** Jackie Goldschneider told [Page Six ](https://pagesix.com/2023/11/07/entertainment/margaret-josephs-and-jackie-goldschneider-detail-rhonj-feud/)at [BravoCon](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/11/06/bravocon-days-2-and-3/), confirming that her friendship with Marge is ***OVER*** for good. ***“I’m not sad,”*** she added. ***“I think the friendship kind of came to an end, and I think everybody will see it, and they’ll understand why I’m not sad.”*** Jackie also told fans at BravoCon that she recalls precisely what led to the demise of her friendship with Margaret while also opening up about switching RHONJ panels. ***“I remember everything very clearly, and I think that clarity is why I’m there and not with Margaret,”*** she said during part two of the RHONJ panel at BravoCon. ***"Friendships evolve, but again, that was a switch made by the higher-ups. It wasn’t only about me; someone was switched with me. But I am very happy to be here. I belong here.”*** As always, stay glued to **[AllAboutTRH](https://allabouttrh.com/)** for the latest, greatest, and [most exclusive Real Housewives of New Jersey tea](https://allabouttrh.com/category/exclusives/) on the internet!
