Things got nasty in Nashville for the Real Housewives of New Jersey.

On Tuesday’s episode of RHONJ, Teresa Giudice threatened to “beat the f—king crap” out of her “bitch” co-star Margaret Josephs.

This not-so-subtle threat came after Teresa accused Margaret of spreading rumors about her man Louie Ruelas to “bloggers.”

Not surprisingly, this showdown shocked fans and took us back to the early days of the New Jersey Real Housewives franchise.

The fight was equally as shocking for the rest of the RHONJ cast. Jennifer Aydin recently dissected the Nashville showdown while chatting with E! News.

“It was shocking, but it was not shocking because, as Margaret always says, know your audience, don’t poke the bear, and this is Teresa Giudice we’re talking about,” Jen told E! News. “She flips some food, not a table this time.”

She continued, “It was a buildup for Teresa, and I think Margaret triggered her. We’ve all been guilty of doing hostile or aggressive things in the heat of the moment. I think we all remember Margaret throwing wine on Danielle [Staub], pushing Marty in the pool, and pouring water over Danielle’s head in a very aggressive and hostile manner. So, listen, it doesn’t excuse it, but I think we’ve all been guilty of it at one point or another”

“I feel that all Margaret needed to do was be like, ‘‘OK, you want me to stop talking about the love of your life, and I need to respect that and own that,’” Jen added. “But because she wouldn’t stop, even though Teresa kept asking her to stop, I feel that it was a buildup, and it led to where we were in Nashville.”

After the explosion between Marge and Tre went down, Jennifer said she was concerned about Teresa and wanted to make sure her friend was okay while also encouraging Margaret to own her part in the drama.

Jennifer explained, “There was no question in my mind I was gonna go after Teresa and defend her and see if she was OK because leading up to that, there were multiple group discussions where I was even telling Margaret,‘’ Listen, why don’t you just acknowledge your part in it all.’”

“Teresa had some proof that Margaret was communicating with, I don’t know who to be exact,” she continued.“But you’re asking me if I believe it to be true: I don’t know for a fact, but I do believe it to be true, yes.”

Calling it as she sees it!

Kim DePaola slams Melissa Gorga’s husband and the unofficial seventh housewife on the Real Housewives of New Jersey, Joe Gorga.

This week, the RHONJ villain called Joe out on Twitter for his two-faced ways. According to Kim, Joe is super friendly to her face when they run into each other but then talks crap about her behind her back.

“@joegorga real quick to come over and say hello when you see me, but then you talk behind my back like the coward you are,” Kim wrote on Twitter alongside a photo of her, Joe and Melissa, and an unidentified male.

Kim then called out Joe for fighting with women on TV and bashing their looks. She noted how low it is that Joe called his sister Teresa Giudice “garbage” on RHONJ while also getting schooled by his 21-year-old niece, Gia Giudice, for his shady behavior.

“You like to fight with women and talk about their appearance. You got checked by your 21-year-old niece and called your sister garbage on national TV,” Kim continued.

Meanwhile, Kim appeared on Saturday’s episode of the “Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef” podcast, where she spilled some tea on what she’s heard about the upcoming RHONJ season 12 reunion.

Kim confirms that Joe “storms off the stage [during the reunion]. He storms off, and Andy makes Teresa go chasing after him.”

“I heard it was ugly. Like, really bad. Really bad,” she explained. “Joe Gorga is really over it. He just really is over it.”

“I guess something must have happened that Andy felt Teresa needed to go get him,” she added.

Despite Joe’s dramatic moment, Kim doesn’t think he’s “leaving the show for good.”

Margaret Josephs disagrees with Teresa Giudice’s decision to let her 21-year-old daughter Gia Giudice be involved in the Real Housewives of New Jersey drama.

In a new interview with Page Six at the New You magazine Beauty Awards in Miami, Marge says Teresa’s choice to bring her daughter into the drama on the show is “insane” and “not appropriate.”

“I think that’s absolutely insane,” Margaret quipped, adding that it’s “not appropriate.”

“Teresa could defend herself, and none of Teresa’s friends are ever going to argue with her daughter,” she noted, adding that she will “never” fight with Gia or any “young woman” or “child” on RHONJ.

She added, “I was very upset that that happened, and I don’t think it belongs. I wish Teresa would have told her not to get involved, but I’m never going to argue with Gia.”

Former Real Housewives of New York star Jill Zarin chimed in, saying, “[Gia’s] vying for a paycheck. Sorry.”

Margaret then weighed in on Teresa body-shaming her at a charity softball game after choosing not to wear the RHONJ OG’s leggings from her new workout line.

“I think it’s very inappropriate to say something like that and especially when you’re promoting your athletic line, which is all-inclusive,” Margaret said. “Not the swiftest move, but am I shocked? No. She hits below the belt.”

As for what fans can expect from the upcoming RHONJ season 12 reunion, Marge said she and Teresa got into a massive blowout. She explains that Teresa couldn’t control herself enough not to scream and yell despite the doctor’s orders.

“No type of surgery could save her from yelling,” Marge quipped. “Of course, she’s yelling at me.”

Marge added, “There was nothing physical, but perhaps it’s because [Teresa’s] fresh off an appendectomy.”

She also teased the reported reunion walk-off, saying, “You’ll be shocked to know who it is.”
