Let’s break down every single bombshell moment from the RHONJ season 14 finale: The Last Supper.


There is no coming back for the New Jersey Housewives following the jaw-dropping RHONJ season 14 finale dinner that left the cast permanently fractured.

Season 14 of RHONJ was filled with constant fighting, irreparable rifts, and fractured friendships that were permanently broken so it is not surprising that when the Jersey Housewives came together for a “last supper” to try and move past their ongoing drama, the dinner resulted in no resolve.

“I’m, like, sweating already,” Dolores Catania admitted to event co-host Jennifer Fessler on Sunday’s episode of RHONJ. “I’m getting a little nervous because I care about everybody like family, I want them to get things off their chest civilly.”

“For some people, I wish they could go back in time,” she added. “Let’s be who we used to be and just let bygones by bygones.”

Jenn Fessler noted, “The theme of today is listening and letting everybody speak and being supportive.”

Once Teresa GiudiceMelissa GorgaRachel FudaMargaret JosephsJennifer AydinJackie Goldschneider, and Danielle Cabral arrived at Rails Steakhouse, they each took turns airing out their issues – and things quickly went awry.

“I know it’s not easy to be here,” Dolores told her RHONJ co-stars before the entire dinner went on the rails. “As a group, we’re so divided and the whole thing today is to be heard.”

Jenn Fessler, on the other hand, encouraged the group to address their issues respectfully: “Say how you feel, try to say it like a lady.”

However, the conversation almost immediately took a turn for the worse when Danielle Cabral tossed a pitcher across the table at Jennifer Aydin, which resulted in producers intervening to physically separate the two RHONJ stars.

Let’s break down all the bombshell moments from the RHONJ season 14 finale below!

Jennifer Aydin vs. Danielle Cabral

RHONJ Recap: Jennifer Aydin vs Danielle Cabral – Who’s Wrong?

Jennifer Aydin doubled down on her previous claims that Danielle Cabral “can’t afford” to host charity galas and events. Earlier this season, the two RHONJ stars got into a physical altercation after Jennifer accused Danielle of taking money from a charity event to reimburse herself for expenses.

“You want my life. I get it,” Jennifer taunted. “You get to my house, ‘This is what I want.’”

Danielle fired back, “I want nothing that you have. You have 18 f–king bathrooms. Your house is empty.”

The 38-year-old then attacked Jennifer’s marriage to Bill Aydin, adding, “You are sad, and I know you cry. I know you cry alone at home. I go home, and my husband is waiting for me at the door.”

Jennifer responded, “Your husband with the boobs?” which prompted Danielle to toss a pitcher across the table at the mom of five.

Melissa Gorga vs. Teresa Giudice

After an entire season of avoiding each other, Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga finally came face-to-face at the RHONJ season 14 finale dinner.

Following Danielle’s outburst, Teresa chastised her two co-stars, which Melissa called hypocritical, considering the RHONJ OG’s infamous table flip.

“Cut it out? You’re the queen of this s–t!” Melissa told her estranged sister-in-law. “They learned from the best, white trash!”

The comment resulted in Teresa shouting out half a dozen “f–k yous” before screaming, “My brother married a whore!”

Jennifer Fessler Walks Out

Jennifer Fessler had enough of the chaos following the first two volatile interactions between her RHONJ co-stars.

“You guys, I’m going,” Jenn announced before leaving. “I can’t mediate this. You guys have gotten used to this level of disgusting. I’m not used to it. I don’t want to be around this, it’s f–king gross.”

In a confessional, Jenn lamented, “In my world, you smash glass or you break bread. They don’t really go together, right? Lunch is over.”

Teresa Giudice vs. Rachel Fuda

During the finale, Teresa Giudice and Rachel Fuda continued their drama from earlier in the season. Rachel made it clear she still wasn’t over the OG calling her husband, John Fuda, a drug dealer.

“It’s not your f–king place to talk about my f–king husband,” Rachel yelled.“Stop talking about my f–king husband!”

Teresa then mocked Rachel and replied with several f-words, which only pissed off the 32-year-old more. In retaliation, Rachel went after Teresa’s alleged cosmetic procedures.

“Keep my mother f–king husband’s name out of your fat, f–king hotdog-lipped mouth,” Rachel fired back. “You’re a– needs to be checked!”

“She’s a joke,” Teresa said in response.

Margaret Josephs vs. Teresa Giudice

RHONJ Teresa Giudice vs Margaret Josephs

After sparring with Rachel, Teresa redirected her rage at Margaret Josephs, who she previously accused of digging up dirt on her husband, Louie Ruelas, and being in contact with his exes.

Margaret insisted she wasn’t in contact with Louie’s ex until 2022; she also declared that she never leaked any information about Louie to the press. However, Teresa didn’t believe her.

“Margaret, all she does is lie through her teeth,” Teresa claimed in her confessional. “We had proof that she was talking to this individual, that’s why we subpoenaed her and she never showed up in court. And if she was telling the truth, she would have no problem to show up and say I wasn’t speaking to this person.”

Teresa didn’t stop there; she then unleashed a tirade of anger on her co-stars, calling Margaret “full of s–t” and a “disgusting pig.” The OG then slammed Joe Benigno’s profession as a plumber.

A Shocking Revelation About Jackie Goldschneider

Margaret Josephs Calls Jackie Goldschneider A ‘Fame Whore” Saying Jackie Would Sell Her Own Mother Down The River

Despite Teresa’s digs, Margaret dropped her own bombshell, which shocked everyone in the room. Margaret accused Jackie Goldschneider of having Louie’s ex over to her house in 2021, right before that cringe-worthy video of him was leaked on social media.

Jackie initally denied the accusation, but Melissa Gorga warned, “Admit that if it’s true, because I’m sure there’s proof.”

And Jackie did, in fact, admit Margaret’s claim was true; however, what was even more shocking was that Teresa didn’t care about Jackie’s betrayal and continued to lament Margaret.

“I met with her,” Jackie told Teresa. “We hated each other, you went after my husband. But you know what? I’m glad that you know because I was always nervous that you were going to find out.”

Teresa totally understood Jackie’s motives, noting that it made sense since she started a rumor about Jackie’s husband, Evan Goldschneider, cheating.

“I’m not surprised that Jackie talked to this person,” Teresa said in her confessional. “I get why she did it because she thinks I was trying to hurt her with the Evan rumor, which, swear on my kids, I was not trying to hurt her.”

No Resolution or Path Forward for the Jersey Housewives

RHONJ season 14 opening credits

After failing to mend their friendships, the RHONJ cast came to terms with the fact that they could not move forward as a group.

“Today’s meeting was a complete failure,” Melissa reflected in her confessional. “Pretty much everybody’s walking out the same way they walked in. Zero resolution.”

In her confessional, Dolores then lamented, “Family is everything, but this group is no longer a family. How did it all come to this? It came out of really just people don’t know how to stop hating. It just built up and everybody just cuts so deep. It’s toxic. I look at this sit-down like a death.”

Bravo used ten thousand F bombs to appropriately put NJ to her death! Fessler was the smartest one at the table, not worth the time.
PjC August 6, 2024 - 2:03 am
The finale sucked because the producers scripted a poorly shot season and nothing is real or authentic in this circle of "friends" cast. Poor writing, poor casting and poor production mostly lead to this disaster. The stories make no sense and the audience has lost interest because the REAL is totally missing. It looked like a fake mediation and felt phony.
P Q August 5, 2024 - 10:00 pm
Teresa is a piece of shit. Just like Jen A. Those 2 delulu’s think everyone is jealous of them when NO ONE is jealous of them????? Jen A has a botched nose job, a husband who sleeps in the pool house and 5 over weight kids. No one wants her life OR her giant house full of cheap tacky Chinese furniture ??

Does anybody know when Ross is coming back home from Greece? These discussion threads just aren't the same without his daily meltdowns lol.
Enigma Wrapped in a Landslide August 6, 2024 - 1:36 am
I thought "Ross" got booted out of here along with the 675309 person (may they RIP).
Tim August 6, 2024 - 1:51 am
Several posters have long theorized that Ross was Luis based on some of his postings and phrases he used in them. He seems to have disappeared at the same time as Teresa and Luis left for their trip to Greece so there's some speculation as to whether it's true or not.
PjC August 6, 2024 - 2:11 am
No, it was me, I buried him. The exorcism is complete. The Om(en) is gone.

Enigma Wrapped in a Coup August 5, 2024 - 4:22 pm
I would like to start out by saying that I've been enjoying this season, so all this talk about rebooting the show is really annoying. I thought last night's "finale" was what finale's are supposed to be; explosive with lots of unresolved issues which we used to call cliffhangers (that make us want to tune in for). However as reported on prior, you could sure tell that the finale was indeed re-edited, with all the "good stuff" chopped out. Each of the confrontations seem to go from zero to one hundred, without any real build-up or logical explanation ... and the result felt very manic. For example, why did Melissa (seemingly) suddenly call Teresa "White trash"? It made no sense. Did Jen A. really completely reject Danielle's olive branch and just start coming for her (and her husband's man-boobs)? I maintain that if there is a problem with NJ, it's not with the ladies ... it's with the production company, Sirens. TWENTY+ producers is "too many cooks in the kitchen". All the talk about rebooting the show due to low ratings is bs, because first of all, if they were that worried about ratings, most of the dreck on Bravo would already be "rebooted" (if not canceled), and that includes half of the HW franchises. Andy if you're listening; NJ is doing fine ... so leave it the F alone. However, I would tell Teresa and the Gorgas that if they want to remain on the show, they're going to have to act like grownups, and figure it out.
michers August 5, 2024 - 5:41 pm
Good point in re to producers however Marge is plain evil . Melissa to me has been irrelevant last two seasons . Danielle is a thug and is no one’s friend . Rachel is pointless . Their need to keep toxicity priority is ruining what could’ve been / could be in the group .
holy cannoli August 5, 2024 - 6:49 pm
Why did Mellisa I have to start with Teresa?
cammierari August 5, 2024 - 7:09 pm
I just said to michers that she was having major FOMO not arguing with someone lol
holy cannoli August 5, 2024 - 7:19 pm
?
michers August 5, 2024 - 7:43 pm
Because no one was paying her any attention . She needed a moment . Unnecessary
holy cannoli August 5, 2024 - 7:46 pm
Agree, completely unnecessary.
Enigma Wrapped in a Coup August 5, 2024 - 8:39 pm
That's my point ... it really wasn't explained, and I'm sure whatever was being said prior was edited out.
ontoiran August 6, 2024 - 7:43 am
I think because Teresa called the woman who as been married to her brother for 20 years and Mother of his three kids a whore. At least she didn’t say prostitution whore or flip a table this time.
holy cannoli August 6, 2024 - 8:05 am
Teresa said that to Mellisa after Melissa started, saying she ( Danielle )after is freakin flipped out at Jennifer) learned from the best white trash ( meaning Teresa). Looking right at her. Then continued to call her white trash. Tats when Teresa kept calling Melissa a whore. ( which was not cool. Btw Melissa wasn’t cool calling Teresa whit trash either. Funny though they weren’t even speaking and or looking at each other before that. So Melissa going ham on Teresa to me, started the shit show. Why?!
ontoiran August 6, 2024 - 8:27 am
IDK, they all sounded like too many kids in the back seat fighting over a found stray french fry. All I could think was … they have to be getting paid to act this stupid and fake friendships with these women. Who keeps friends like this???
holy cannoli August 6, 2024 - 8:34 am
Nailed it!!
Ginger Snap August 6, 2024 - 2:26 pm
Melissa is fed up with Tre’s filthy mouth, creating and spreading damaging rumors FOR YEARS! Only Tre is allowed to be violent and talk badly about practically everyone.
holy cannoli August 6, 2024 - 3:28 pm
I could see her going at Teresa if they were on an argument. But they weren’t. ?????
Ginger Snap August 6, 2024 - 2:23 pm
Because it was laughable Tre saying no violence when she’s made a career of it. Talk about hypocritical. Good for Melissa.
holy cannoli August 6, 2024 - 3:18 pm
That’s not how I see it. You have your opinion, I have mine. It’s all good .
cammierari August 5, 2024 - 5:19 pm
...and another thing! Marge has a nerve being furious that Tre had a meeting to explain Louie's civil case after arranging a pre-reunion meeting last season herself to plan the take-down of Louie. She is just gross.
michers August 5, 2024 - 5:37 pm
And the word takedown was used by others who were in on that ! Marge is an evil manipulator- point blank . Not a good friend , clearly cannot be trusted , negative vibes only . Dolores clocked her with the lying but then was hanging with her recently ??? And I’ll add on another thing to youlol/ Melissa has no business even inserting herself last night . No one was talking to her irrelevant ass . Danielle brought bill up first !!! Ugh I’m over these bitches
cammierari August 5, 2024 - 7:00 pm
I know I was like Dolores, seriously? We come back from a commercial break and you're apologizing to MARGE? I think Dolores just pretends to be Marge's friend. Did you see her eyeballs popping out when she realized .Marge lied to her face? She knows. Melissa was having major FOMO, so she had to pick a fight with Teresa. She tried with her sprinkle cookie bs, but Tre just let that one go LMAO. Why did Tre call her a whore tho? I wonder if she's heard anything...?
michers August 5, 2024 - 7:39 pm
Yes remember the Nick situation? That Marge leaked to her ex bff that leaked to others ? And people used to call her shore whore lmao . I think if I remember correctly - Teresa’s mom thought Mel was a whore … I recall seasons back something about that and thinking she was some kinda name . There were always rumors about Mel but people only believe rumors about Teresa :)
Ginger Snap August 6, 2024 - 2:21 pm
Tre created and spread those awful rumors. She’s been doing it for years.
holy cannoli August 5, 2024 - 5:52 pm
She had a freakin baby over it. , she lost her damn mind . She kept going on and on., even once she found out it wasn’t “ burn Marge meeting/ a take down Marge meeting “..
ontoiran August 6, 2024 - 7:39 am
Louie doesn’t seem to have far to drop in this so called “ take down”, he’s a lowlife. How can she sleep next to that Norman Bates sociopath?
cammierari August 6, 2024 - 3:20 pm
You've forgotten the love bubble.
ontoiran August 6, 2024 - 7:30 pm
The love bubble could use an oxygen infusion.
Ginger Snap August 6, 2024 - 2:19 pm
The cast are not fools. Of course they are going to meet after Luis braying he had them all investigated. Why can Luis do nefarious things but others can’t defend themselves?
cammierari August 6, 2024 - 3:19 pm
The point is, she freaks out if anyone else meets excluding her. She can do whatever she wants and so can any of them, without Marge reprimamding them for going. Nefarious? Marge was the one plotting to "take down" Louie with her soldiers. Why would she need a strategy unless she was sure there was plenty of dirt to be found IF one hired a P.I.-which Louie said he did not.
Evil Queen August 5, 2024 - 12:29 pm
The only positive thing about last night was Delores having her eyes opened about Margaret’s truth telling story lines. She told her 2021 & then changed her story to 2922.
holy cannoli August 5, 2024 - 12:56 pm
Yes !
book7175 August 5, 2024 - 11:51 am
That Teresa forgives Jackie for having the ex over to her house but not Marge is just bat sh*t crazy and shows what a hypocritical dummy she is..
michers August 5, 2024 - 1:29 pm
Marge hasn’t owned anything or apologized for anything . The Evan rumor came from Marge to ( Mel)Joe to his sister . Jackie and Teresa hashed things out , apologized , moved forward . I know it’s a hard concept for some to grasp considering the level these women took this show , but I understand the “ why “ Teresa gave . There doesn’t need to be anymore fighting .
book7175 August 5, 2024 - 2:56 pm
Just find it hypocritical that Teresa can forgive someone messing with her husband's ex and digging for dirt on him but can't get past sprinkle cookies or her brother and his wife joining the show. She makes up the rules as she goes along. Forgiveness for some but not for all. She's only good with people who kiss the ring and show her blind loyalty, anyone who has a backbone and stands up to her, or stands up for themselves she treats as an enemy. This has been going on for years she'll never change because she doesn't want to. And I'm not sure what Marge is supposed to apologize for. His ex contacting her? According to the cast his ex reached out to everyone.
michers August 5, 2024 - 3:25 pm
I don’t completely disagree but I do somewhat for the reason I mentioned . Marge had no reason to do that , Jackie acted out of retaliation ,anger and hurt but she apologized . They hashed it out . Marge kept on and on .. zero remorse coupled with more lying and no apology .
Jen NYC August 5, 2024 - 3:00 pm
Too funny…when has Teresa owned anything or apologized for anything?
michers August 5, 2024 - 4:12 pm
She has but people that dislike her on show don’t recall those things . But I don’t see apologies to her when others have initiated the bs?
Enigma Wrapped in a Landslide August 5, 2024 - 10:18 pm
I'm with Delores who said forgets NOTHING ... the realization of what Jackie did just hasn't settled in yet.
Ginger Snap August 6, 2024 - 2:37 pm
Only Tre said the Evan rumor came from Marge. Then she said it was Joe Gorga. Tre spread the rumor on film. She’s to blame. Tre only hashed things out with Jackie because she has no friends on the show except nutty Aydin. Why Gia is on too.
michers August 7, 2024 - 9:25 am
At this point doesn’t matter - Marge told someone per usual to get it out and try to keep her fish lips clean . Tre has friends ; and Tre is the only reason any of these bitches still had a check , per usual .
Watcher August 5, 2024 - 2:56 pm
It’s what she did with Danielle and Jaqueline and Kim D. So this is a pattern of Teresa. She understands that people do things that are hurtful when you are not friends and she can get over that because it’s expected. What is not expected is friends betraying you. Very different situations and circumstances.
book7175 August 5, 2024 - 3:17 pm
Well Teresa betrayed Marge first by telling Danielle to pull her hair when they were supposedly good friends, and taking Danielle's side in that spat. Marge forgave her for that but you know if the shoe was on the other foot Teresa would never have forgiven Marge.
michers August 5, 2024 - 3:30 pm
She apologized to Marge . And she felt bad but ultimately Danielle made that choice to do it . By the way - they all wanted staub gone for that but rally around Cabral . Talk about hypocrisy . Teresa also cut ties with Staub after that . So I mean , what are the standards with Marge and company ? Didn’t she also push Marty in pool ? Didn’t they and their souses watch her video and then speak and laugh and harass her as well ?
book7175 August 5, 2024 - 3:47 pm
Teresa only cut ties with Staub after Staub ratted her out. If she hadn't ratted her out she would have stayed friends with her. Pretty amazing to me that over all the years the show has been on Danielle is the only HW Teresa went to great lengths to defend. Never understood that. I'm not defending Cabral's violent actions but the HWs were fed up with Jennifer Aydin and her leaks to media to make others look bad. She's not a sympathetic character and has been cruel to all the women except Teresa so not surprising that no one was on her side.
Ginger Snap August 6, 2024 - 2:32 pm
Tre apologized because she was caught red handed. No other reason. She’s also dumped Danielle for outing her.
michers August 7, 2024 - 9:24 am
Ok apologize don’t apologize move forward , wrong if don’t move forward.. yall are exhausting . Tre aside - whomever the adult is that tries to do better - I give credit . The Whorgas have never . Trout mouth has never . TheFugazis are just Fuqwads … When I see adults able to have a civil resolve - I’m for it and I respect it , no matter who it is . She still apologized and she didn’t have to because Troy was a bully . She dumped Danielle because she was only going to keep getting her in situations she didn’t want to be in. Danielle hadn’t let go of anything , and had her own ideas for payback which after what Marge did to her repeatedly, I get her angst , but it was trouble inducing for someone trying to be her friend .
cammierari August 5, 2024 - 5:00 pm
Exactly! Marge always says her motives in the Louie michigas were to protect Teresa because they were friends. The hair pull heard around the world hurt Marge mostly because she saw it as Teresa choosing Danielle over her. That jealousy has spawned all her bile since, and her vendetta against Tre and her beloved Louie.
cammierari August 5, 2024 - 10:39 am
What a disappointment that episode was. No one was vindicated except maybe Jen A who proved that Danielle is an out of control beast. Jen F is a total idiot who did nothing to “mediate” the group arguments, and I hope Dolores realized what a dumb idea she had for a sit-down (except I think it was production’s idea and Dolores went along with it.) Margaret proved herself to be a snake to her former bestie Jackie, also to her current bestie Dolores, and as always, a liar. I thought it was very strange that Dolores got over her rage at Marge so quickly! Seems fake to me. Rachel calling out anyone’s looks or bad cosmetic procedures is HILARIOUS when she walks around with that nose and is married to a man that has the face of a sloth. I didn’t get Tre calling Melissa a whore. Lots of better names to call her with plenty of concrete proof. Tre and Melissa were just a side dish in this brawl for a change th9ough. All in all I think Marge and Danielle came off looking the worst. I would love to see them both tossed and see how things go. Those 2 and Melissa gone would improve the show from the dark corners it has gone to.
michers August 5, 2024 - 1:26 pm
Rachel is crazy talking like that with that Cindy Lou who look going on and also she started along with sloth - with Teresa and about her husband . The fact that Danielle was screaming animal after a second attack in same season was beyond !!!! What a dumb B-*tch . Melissa really trying to have her moments hilarious . The only one still trying to make the cookies happen is HER. Teresa left that in 2010. Then calling Teresa trash while supporting trashbag Cabral ? I LOLed ! Then to say she’s telling Antonia? Girl bye . Your nieces have heard you and your dumbass hubby attacking Teresa for most of their lives !!! You can F right off with that Marge is a pile of gross . The fact that she’s done shit like this for years and lies after going after multiple castmates , is far past being on a HW show . Melissa always co-signing Marge because she knows where Mel’s bones are buried and you cannot convince me of different. Disgusts me . Disappointed that Jackie did what she did however I do understand why Teresa moved on with her from that . Grown ups worked things out . Marge can’t relate . Her side likes the nasty low blow fighting and division.
holy cannoli August 5, 2024 - 9:18 am
Margaret is an asshat. Louie is an asshat. Jackie lying is an asshat. Dannielle is an asshat. Delores calling out Marge was everything! Rachel is an asshat Melissa, ? , please. What an asshat! Teresa and Jennifer. I’m really not mad at?????. I don’t think they were that bad. Jennifer F. What a wuss! Btw , I think the finale sucked! These are My Opinions , so that’s that. Happy Monday everyone .?
