On Sunday’s RHONJ, Margaret sends funeral flowers to Teresa’s home. Teresa’s lawyer says she was talking to Louie’s ex and leaking information to the press.
Teresa Giudice hosted a sit down with her friends so her lawyer, James Leonard, could discuss the court case involving her husband, Louie Ruelas, with her friends on Sunday’s episode of RHONJ.
The 52-year-old reality star invited Jennifer Fessler, Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, Danielle Cabral, and Jackie Goldschneider over after they expressed concern over the anxiety she was dealing with due to the court case.
While chatting with her father-in-law about the sitdown, she insisted that she was not trying to “bash” Margaret Josephs but instead reveal what was uncovered in the court case.
“I’m so relieved that the court case is finally over because now I can let everybody know what I’ve been stressing over for the past six months, really the past three years. Thankfully, the court ruled in Louie’s favor,” Teresa said before adding that they “unfortunately” gained a lot of information about Margaret’s involvement with Louie’s ex.
“This woman I thought was my friend, Dad, she’s been hurting us for the past three years,” Teresa told her father-in-law.
In her confessional, she added: “I just want everyone to hear that Margaret came up in the court case. I can’t wait to give away her secret. They need to know who they’re associating with.”
Before attending Teresa’s sitdown, Jenn Fessler gave Margaret a heads-up about the meeting and Teresa’s plan.
Naturally, Margaret was outraged that the RHONJ OG was throwing an event with her lawyer to discuss her. She added that it was “disgusting” that any member of the RHONJ cast would go there and listen to Teresa’s attorney bash her.
Jenn agreed with Margaret and told her she regretted not immediately declining the invitation. She then swiftly texted Teresa that she wouldn’t be able to make it, writing: “I’m sorry, but I’m not going to make it on Thursday. I don’t feel like it’s right. And I can’t do that to Margaret. I hope you understand.”
Despite Jenn F jumping ship, the RHONJ OG continued with the meeting.
“So, first of all, I have been involved with Teresa and her family for nine years. I was involved with her in the weeks and months before she went to prison. And I can say that walking her into prison at 3:00 in the morning, she was less stressed than she has been for the last several months,” James told the RHONJ cast after introducing himself.
James noted that there is “someone in Louie’s past that makes problems in Louie’s existing life” which is when Jennifer Adyin asked if the person is Louie’s ex.
“We’re going to not really talk about her because of legal problems, but that person is real, and that situation exists and existed before Teresa and Louie ever met one another,” James said.
Jackie Goldschneider then explained that the matter is extremely complicated.
“The situation is so confusing. I think there are gag orders. I know that he’s not even supposed to be saying her name. They were going back and forth. She would sue him. He would sue her. So I think that Jim Leonard is just trying to protect Louie and not bring up certain things that could get Louie in trouble,” Jackie said in a confessional.
James then explains that in 2021, they received information that Louie’s ex was talking to Margaret.
“In November of 2021, the lawyer that’s representing Louie subpoenas Margaret to come to court to answer questions as to whether or not Margaret is in communication with this person. Margaret responds that she got the subpoena and that she wasn’t going to come to court. And I’m going to just get to the pertinent part. The individual that Louie is involved in the litigation with had been speaking with Margaret Josephs, and Josephs told this person she was planning to expose Louie Ruelas and Teresa Giudice based on the information that this person had provided,” James explained.
“So now, guys I just want to tell you, this will make your f***ing head spin,” Teresa interjected.
She continued: “Louie is not allowed to speak about her. She’s not allowed to speak about him. So she gets out her information through Margaret.”
“And Margaret is getting information about Teresa and Louie and is trying to hurt them with it,'” James added.
Dolores Catania seemed unfazed by their findings.
“This is not a jaw-dropping revelation. Teresa has been questioning this for years,” Dolores said in a confessional.
Teresa then stated that Margaret was to blame for the videos of Louie and his ex, which circulated around social media.
The RHONJ OG then asked Jackie if she knew about any of this, as she used to be best friends with Margaret.
“No, Margaret never told me anything about talking to the ex,” Jackie said.
During the sitdown, Teresa’s doorbell rang, which is when the RHONJ OG received funeral flowers.
Teresa was surprised by the flowers and then became enraged after reading the card, which read:
“Dear Teresa and James, Sorry for the loss of your dignity. Love, love, love, Marge.“
“No, no, I don’t want it. Refuse it. Tell her to stick it up her a**,” Teresa said. “Take it off my property.”
When Teresa went back to the group, she told them about Margaret’s antics.
“This is the most gangster move I’ve ever seen in my whole existence of life! But keep your s*** together, Danielle. F***ing brilliant,” Danielle Cabral said in her confessional.
Teresa then insited that Margeret knows she’s caught and doesn’t know what to do.
“She’s f***ing spinning right now,” Teresa said.
