Real Housewives of New Jersey fans are waiting to see the footage from Teresa Giudice’s Italy trip. The RHONJ OG and her four daughters visited Joe Giudice, who is staying there while he awaits on the deportation decision.
Their interaction was so awkward during their interview with Andy Cohen that fan expectations were low for the family visit abroad. I don’t know about you, but I was analyzing those vacation photos as soon as they were posted. To me, it looked like it was more about their four daughters reuniting with their father post-prison than a husband and wife rekindling a relationship.
In a clip from tomorrow’s Good Morning America episode obtained by Us Weekly, Teresa dished on the Italy trip. She said, “We were just there to enjoy each other’s times and you know, lots of laughs and lots of tears. Just reacquainting with each other, it was pretty amazing. We had the best time ever. It was so good.” But, what about that whole divorce thing? And let’s not forget the cheating accusations Joe and Teresa had against each other.
That wasn’t mentioned in the snippet, but maybe we will hear more about that when the full interview airs. It seems like the trip was all about their daughters. Teresa remarked, “Joe and I were just both amazed [by] how mature and beautiful and smart they are. They blow us away.” This something we have all felt seeing how wise and articulate Gia Giudice is week after week on RHONJ.
The interviewer asked Teresa, “Is he at peace?” Teresa responded, “Listen, he said he cried. You know after we left he said he cried the whole day, missing his daughters. He was so sad.” But, what about his wife? How did he feel about Teresa getting on that plane to head home?

When the trailer dropped for Season 8 of Vanderpump Rules last week, it was no surprise to see Kristen Doute on the outs with former best friends Stassi Schroeder and Katie Maloney-Schwartz.
After all, when reports surfaced that Kristen wasn’t present at Stassi‘s engagement party over the summer, the latter’s mother confirmed that the trio had once again fallen out during filming. In a pair of new interviews, Kristen finally broke her silence on the rift and where she stands with her erstwhile BFFs.
“From my POV, it’s like they’re family to me. So it’ll always be that way,” the hot-headed Pump Rules star dished to Us Weekly. She continued, “With every friendship, you have ups and downs — and here is one of our downs. So, ride the wave with us, while you get to see the downs. I think I’ll find out a lot while I watch [the show] as well.”
The next day, Kristen shed even more light on the feud during the premiere of the new Charlie’s Angels movie, reiterating her commitment to her fellow Witches of Weho.
“It’s no surprise that we hit a low,” she told Entertainment Tonight ahead of the film. “I feel like we’ve been friends for 10 years — family basically, my sisters — and with that comes [ups] and downs…so we’ll kind of just see where it goes. My POV is I’ll love them always and forever and support everything that they do.”
The Pump Rules OG also added that she doesn’t quite know the root of her besties’ problems with her, and honestly, could it really be worse than sleeping with your best friend’s boyfriend and then lying about it for an entire season?
“You’ll see it on the show, but I don’t really have an answer,” Kristen said of the reasons her fellow SURvers were keeping their distance. “So hopefully I’m given one…I was with Katie last night at the People’s Choice Awards and we had a blast together. Like, we’re still very cordial and friendly when we hang out. We just aren’t in the same place we were at before.”
As for whether she’ll be invited to Stassi‘s upcoming Italian nuptials with Beau Clark, the reality star didn’t have an answer — and told fans not to expect her infamous party-crashing ways to flare up should she not receive an invite.
“Would I crash Rome, Italy?” she queried. “Probably not.”

Shane Simpson has received a lot of attention this season. And not always in a positive way. The Real Housewives of Orange County hubby has taken lots of flack for his treatment of wife Emily Simpson. Gina Kirschenheiter has called Shane “disrespectful,” “snarky” and “mean.” Vicki Gunvalson compared Emily’s marriage issues to hers with ex Donn Gunvalson. Tamra Judge doesn’t think Emily’s marriage will survive reality television.
Viewers have watched Shane be dismissive of Emily and her feelings. When he was taking the bar exam, he isolated himself from their family. On a recent episode, Shane teased Emily with a bread basket at a restaurant when they were dining out, insensitive to Emily’s concerns about her weight. Apparently, his wife is not the only one of the RHOC cast Shane can be condescending to. One of Emily’s co-stars was also “Shane Shamed” the first time she met him.
On a recent Real Housewives of Orange County Aftershow, Braunwyn Windham-Burke spilled the tea on her first meeting with Shane. She stated, “The first time he met me off-camera, he actually said to me, the first words out of his mouth, ‘Are you really this dumb or is it an act?'”
Now why in the world would that offend Braunwyn? Can you imagine meeting someone for the first time and that is what they say to you? Braunwyn is an odd duck, but she doesn’t strike me as dumb. And even if she was, why would someone say it? Shame on you, Shane Shamer!
So, what does Emily think about her man’s crass comments? On the Real Housewives of Orange County Aftershow, Emily was asked how Shane feels about watching his relationship with her on the show. Instead of answering the question directly, Emily defended her husband, declaring, “I feel like he gets a bad rap unnecessarily.”
It is to be expected that a wife would back up her husband, but Shane can be very rude and condescending. No one is making him behave as he does. It is almost as if he doesn’t care how he is portrayed despite being filmed. It is either arrogance, foolishness or stupidity. My vote would be for arrogance.
Emily does acknowledge Shane has some social flaws. She admitted, “I mean, can he be a jerk? Absolutely. We’ve been married for 11 years, so obviously, there’s more to Shane than just this one-dimensional character.”
As far as Shane being more than a one-dimensional character, I am going to take Emily’s word for it as she seems like an honest person. So far, I have not seen the kinder side of Shane. Some people think Bravo shows the men on their shows in a bad light. Personally, I think Shane’s sarcastic light is at least a significant part of who he is.
Continuing to back up her husband, Emily went on to say, “There isn’t a woman out there that’s married and has been married for a long time that has not said, ‘Yeah, my husband can be a jerk.’ I mean, I’m a jerk, he’s a jerk, that’s what marriage is about.”
I can’t say I have heard the “I’m a jerk”–“he’s a jerk’ declarations in any wedding vows. Of course, we can all be jerks at times. Most of us are probably not Shane Simpson level jerks, however. If their marriage works for the Simpson’s, good for them. They say there is someone for everyone–Shane and Emily seem to be proof of this.

The last episode of Real Housewives of Orange County was a 15 car pile-up of calamity and all roads lead to Tamra Judge. So far this season, Tamra has injected herself into everyone’s personal business in what appears to be an astronomical effort to get that Head Bitch In Charge title. What it might do is blow up in her face and just leave her with, Head Bitch.
When Tamra isn’t getting attention by spreading rumors or giving Vicki Gunvalson a reason to exist, she turns to family issues. Tamra’s oldest son, Ryan Vieth, has experienced several crises of a financial personal nature. Ryan recently opened up about his current struggles on camera and Tamra’s husband Eddie Judge had… thoughts. Let’s just say his thoughts didn’t go over too well.
Ryan was the petulant stepson of Tamra’s ex Simon Barney who lacked ambition and structure. He tried to cover his absence of employment with tattoos and did not lead a conventional life. Ryan met his ex-fiancée on Instagram and it was love at first DM. Sarah Rodriguez had three kids and lots of baggage, so naturally they got engaged. Sarah and Ryan added to the brood after she gave birth to their daughter, Ava. Ryan’s financial nightmare found Tamra loaning her son a great deal of money to stay afloat. Obviously, Tamra’s husband had concerns. Eddie did not sign up for funding another man’s life and wasn’t shy about explaining this to his wife.
In 2015, Ryan was arrested for domestic violence. By the time 2019 rolled around, Sarah had shared some sensitive texts to social media, allegedly sent by Ryan. Some of the more disturbing points included Ryan telling Sarah to kill herself. In an incredibly alarming twist, Ryan supposedly sent a photo of a bullet with the words, “FUCK YOU!!!!! This one’s for you” attached. Hello, giant red flag.
After suffering emotionally and receiving encouragement from Tamra, Ryan sought therapy. Fans watched as Ryan opened up during a counseling session while Tamra once again defied logic and sobbed with no tears. Some people were moved by Ryan’s perceived vulnerability and stricken by his confession of having suicidal thoughts. Eddie on the other hand, was not. During Eddie’s interview segment he said of Ryan, “When you’re struggling with childhood issues as a man, you’re not a man.”
There’s a lot wrong with this statement. According to The Blast, fans took to Twitter and went in on Eddie after his remarks. One person wrote, “Eddie saying your son isn’t a ‘Man’ because he is struggling with childhood issues and needs to get over it???? What a cruel, careless, A$$!!! I’m disgusted by his lack of empathy.” Let’s be clear, Eddie’s words were insensitive. He has also had a lot more time around Ryan than the rest of us.
Another user tweeted, “@TamraBarney your son is stunted because you’re stunted. And Eddie – you’re a douche. Not everyone has the same experience and processes it the same way. F—ING DOUCHE. I CAN’T.” Excellent point. Not all people process things the same way and mental illness is a real thing. But Ryan didn’t seem in a delicate state when he shared his feelings about the transgender community. He appeared reasonably coherent when passionately disputing with his brother over their opposing views of politics.
Ryan had his own talking head where he seemed jealous of his half-siblings because they had the benefit of being raised with a bigger bank account. His brother and sister are both attending college – but would Ryan have attended if able? This is someone who never seemed to choose gainful employment. Could it factor in to Eddie’s crass comment? Meanwhile, Tamra is crying in the corner because all of this is happening to HER. One fan wrote to Tamra directly, “Dayum @TamraBarney, Eddie speaking on your son like that…. grown or not me as his mother, would have had a problem, with Eddie and his 2 cents that nobody asked for.”
Though Ryan has declared he is done with RHOC, now Tammy Sue has a brand new sob story line. Tamra has yet to acknowledge Eddie’s words about her son. It might be time for Ryan to take a break and leave television. Eddie should check himself before he comments on anyone’s mental health. But this is Orange County, where his wife is the pied piper of bad behavior and sometimes kids take after their mothers.

Last night’s Real Housewives Of Dallas was memorable for a couple of things. Like that Rodney Atkins can be rented for $75k and that Stephanie Hollman is so stinkin’ rich it’s totally affordable it to hire a country superstar to play while your friends get wasted in over-the-hill sorostitute Halloween costumes.
However, the most memorable thing that happened was learning that Mama Dee Simmons wears a wig. And not just one wig, but she has over 100 platinum blonde bullet shaped prosthetic hair caps. Are they mating? Does that make Dee’s wig room the biggest wig room on Bravo? Are some of them long-haired? Why is Dee not selling a wig collection on Christian television?
Anyway, first things first, Kameron Westcott boycotted Travis‘ birthday party. Kameron claimed it was because her daughter, Hilton, had a ballet recital, and she couldn’t squeeze in both activities. But, Stephanie saw right through that ‘coincidence.’ She knew right away that this was Kameron trying to teach Stephanie a lesson by throwing in her face that she can also cancel last-minute for ‘kid events.’ Kameron confirmed as much to Kary Brittingham when she admitted she could’ve come to both events if she felt like Stephanie made more an effort to elevate their friendship from “surface” to hovering on cloud 9, just about eye-level with Kameron’s ego.
RELATED – Real Housewives Of Dallas Recap: Hot Diggity Dog!
Stephanie doesn’t really care. Or rather she shouldn’t care, but Stephanie cares what everyone thinks of her and especially struggles with knowing that Kameron constantly judges her and has a low opinion of her. Kameron may be complaining that Stephanie views their friendship as ‘surface,’ but the truth of the matter is that Kameron has always viewed her friendships with Stephanie and Brandi Redmond as subterranean. And musty.
Stephanie confides in her mom how hurt her feelings are because this brings up a deep-seated childhood issue of being treated as ‘less than’ by the wealthy, popular women in her tiny Oklahoma town. Stephanie also witnessed her mom being mistreated by these women time and time again, and she just took it in order to keep the peace, then came home and cried. Stephanie recognizes that ‘go along to get along’ behavior in herself, but her mom orders her to stop letting Kameron’s opinion matter. Because it doesn’t. Truly.
Her mother also wonders why Stephanie would want to keep fighting for a friendship that clearly isn’t a friendship – especially when Kameron is using all these micro-aggressions to socially manipulate Stephanie into feeling guilty for having her own opinion. I honestly don’t Kameron is that sophisticated. I mean, she didn’t know what “disparage” means, for crying out loud, even though Kameron disparages everyone left and right and in the middle. I think Kameron is petty, immature, and handles feeling ignored or slighted by throwing a tantrum – which is why she overreacts whenever anyone challenges her. But Stephanie should take her mom’s advice anyway. Especially in regards to whatever her mom is doing to her skin, because it’s gorgeous.
Also, Stephanie has better things to worry about than appeasing Kameron’s perfectly pink puckered world that is wrapped tighter than a gnat’s anus around D’Andra’s trust. Stephanie is planning a mid-life crisis themed birthday party and had to plan an actual day birthday embarrassment by surprising Travis with a trip to Medieval Times.
Stephanie joked that she was going to take him to the Round-Up, before pulling up in front of a stucco King Arthur’s castle. Travis would’ve preferred the Round-Up because at least there he’d get his dick sucked. At Medieval Times he got knighted by plastic sword and was forced to eat an entire rubber pheasant with a straw and a paper crown.
Brandi and Bryan were of course along for this fantastical shit-show. Brandi and Stephanie take great joy in the little things in life: plastic wine goblets, Travis being crowned King Bee, and tooting after consuming too many borderline rotten banquet chickens. I’m so glad these two have found each other, and that Bryan and Travis have each other for solidarity and support.
The next day Stephanie meets Kary to do a photo shoot for her jewelry collection. Kary started the line 3 years ago and Eduardo has no financial stake in it – not even as an investor. Eduardo’s not even paying for the photo shoot, which explains why Kary is standing in front of a sheet of paper with only her daughter as the model/stylist. it also explains why Kary is mysteriously wearing hot pink mini-shorts with ankle boots. Kary didn’t need to dress in mid-life crisis costume – she dresses like that every day!
Stephanie models a few pieces, then cries about being slighted by Kameron and how she doesn’t like to admit how deeply people affect her. Kary is empathetic. Which is nice, but is Kary truly felt bad she wouldn’t have repeated to Stephanie the real reason Kameron was skipping the party.
Stephanie is also nice when she pretends Kary’s jewelry line earnings could potentially replace Eduardo’s millions if he has a mid-life crisis that involves trading Kary in for a younger model.
Now that she doesn’t have to waste time coming up with a mid-life crisis costume (what on earth would Kameron wear to that, anyway? A frumpy sweatsuit?) Kameron has time to prepare Hilton for competitive summer camp with an archery lesson. Kameron wants to demonstrate to her 8-year-old that she’s cool enough to do something athletic besides pilates. And truthfully I don’t even think Kameron could do that successfully! Too many things to keep straight at once.
Court and Hilton try to convince Kameron that she’s aiming for a purse she wants, but why would Kameron ever injure and harm an innocent purse – especially one she wants? Then Court suggests she imagine a person she doesn’t like’s face on the target. Stephanie immediately comes to mind and Kameron begins hitting bulls-eye after bulls-eye. I don’t think that was a coincidence either! Hilton is finally impressed by Kameron.
Stephanie dresses up as Peggy Bundy for Travis’s birthday and makes Travis wear head-to-toe Gucci, like some aging loser trying to fit in with the younger crowd. He’s the cool dad! Brandi came as Playboy Bunny. Cary Deuber wasn’t there, which surprised me (cleary she found out she was a half-castmate after being uninvited from the trip!), and LeeAnne Locken came as herself because she’s a midlife crisis in action. Actually, LeeAnne dressed tamer than she does in real life.
Lastly, D’Andra waltzed in dressed as a cougar version of Mama Dee. D’Andra is nervous as hell to be at this party. She hasn’t seen LeeAnne since before the wedding, and she’s expecting Rich to be there and isn’t sure what to say to him. Rich was ‘sick’ and couldn’t make it, but wants to wish Travis a happy momentous birthday gift of butt sex. Too bad he went to Medieval Times instead of the Round-Up!
LeeAnne thought she was being shady by exposing Mama Dee‘s wig collection, but obviously, Mama Dee and D’Andra have no problem letting the universe know that she wears a wig. All the wigs in Dallas, to be exact.
When D’Andra is nervous, D’Andra drinks. Plentifully. Then she starts flashing her pasties and falling over everywhere while Rodney Atkins is trying to pretend he’s not at the lowest moment in his career. LeeAnne is not pleased to witness D’Andra, once again, behave like an over-the-hill sorority girl. Even though it’s appropriate at this midlife crisis party.
Stephanie believes the real issue is that D’Andra doesn’t know how to handle being around LeeAnne sober, and she’s also desperately trying to get LeeAnne to notice and accept her. Which is interesting because D’Andra always seemed like the dominant force in their relationship. I think Stephanie may have a point, though, because D’Andra does always want LeeAnne to take care of her when she’s drunk. Maybe it’s D’Andra’s way of trying to show LeeAnne that she’s needed and wanted?
LeeAnne has no grace, however, so instead of just accepting that this is D’Andra reaching out (and LeeAnne so recognizes that it is!) she attempts to belittle D’Andra as a drunk mess, and pawn her off on Kary. I get it though – who wants to spend a party drunk-sitting your former friend? Well, LeeAnne probably does because LeeAnne loves any type of validation that shows she’s necessary.
After the party, which was a raging success if only because of D’Andra’s costume (did she have a tiara made from bullets on that wig?), the women all prepare for Thailand. Mama Dee expresses great reservations about D’Andra going on another vacation while her company is failing, but D’Andra brushes it aside because she ‘needs’ a break. Um, D’Andra, this is exactly why Mama Dee doesn’t trust you with a loan, or access to your money! Although Stephanie is right: put on that wig, waltz on into Dallas Savings & Loan, and drain that sucker with gusto. Truly no one would know D’Andra wasn’t Dee.
Brandi is leaving right in the middle of deciding what could potentially happen with Bruin’s impending sibling. She and Bryan are still undecided about adopting another child, and are waiting on the results of a paternity test to determine if this is Bruin’s full sibling, or half. Brooklyn is relieved to see the back of at least one red head, and will not miss her mother at. all. Just in case anyone thought she might!
Travis is gearing up for a week of nonstop work while also helping his father. He’s only taking part of his medication and has been calling constantly to complain about feeling ill. His dad wants Travis to bring him home immediately. Travis is acting unaffected, but Stephanie knows the stress is weighing heavy on him. He did seem awfully subdued at his birthday party!
Kameron is hoping no one will be sharing a room and that any surprises come in the form of a jewelry box. Kary Brittingham collection? Of course, Kameron and Stephanie are the first two to arrive at the airport to surface together awkwardly. Then the ladies board a plane for an unknown destination. Literally, since none of them actually know that Thailand is in Asia! Hopefully, no one gets human trafficked into a ping pong show and winds up shooting turtles out their hoo-ha. Cause that’s worse than whatever happens at the Round Up!
Also – why is everything on Bravo happening in Thailand lately? Alexis Bellino vacationed there, Below Deck is stationed there (and Alexis will be a guest on Valor), now the Real Housewives Of Dallas are traveling there… Thailand is either very brave or very desperate. It’s basically D’Andra at a party with LeeAnne!

The Real Housewives of New Jersey came back with a BANG last week. What a premiere episode. The ladies of the Garden State wasted little time jumping into drama. There are many rumors about Teresa Giudice, but she’s brushing them off. However, her peace with Melissa Gorga may be coming to an end. Teresa is NOT happy about Melissa’s friend Jackie Goldschneider.
Speaking of Jackie, she too finds herself in the middle of drama. She’s already feuding with Jennifer Aydin over an Instagram video allegedly mocking her. Will any of these women ever get along? This episode will also feature the return of Danielle Staub which means a possible showdown with Margaret Josephs. It’ll also be interesting to see where Dolores Catania’s allegiance lies this season. Joe Giudice is out of prison, but he’s already in ICE custody. The editing on this opening Teresa scene explaining the situation and working out was POWERFUL. What a stressful situation that must be.
Joe Gorga has a new book, so we have a reason to celebrate right now. It’s been a great year for Joe, but his sister’s life isn’t going as hot.
Melissa and Joe debate whether or not it’s okay for Teresa’s husband to be in custody. They show a lot of the other women breaking down the news as well. It’s certainly not the way they expected this to go down.
Teresa’s daughters are having a really hard time coping with Joe being in ICE custody. Milania seems to be the most affected. Regardless of how you feel about Joe and Teresa, this is so painful for their children. None of these girls deserved to have their family ripped apart this way.
Teresa has her lawyer come over to explain the situation better to them. Joe’s fight isn’t over just yet because there are many appeals in the works.
During the explanation, Joe calls to check in on the girls. He tells them it’s max security, and everything’s on lock down. That’s so scary.
To make things worse, they can’t even have any physical contact with their father. This is so painful to watch. Teresa’s daughters may never be the same after going through something like this.
Frank Catania is making great progress on Dolores‘ boyfriend David Principe‘s new home. However, it’s confusing as to whether or not she’ll be living there too.
Her whole arrangement with her boyfriend is so odd. Not conventional in any way. How weird is it that we’re actually seeing him this season? I was beginning to think he was a unicorn.
She tells Frank she won’t to move in with her boyfriend unless she has a commitment. Her boyfriend doesn’t like PDA which is not shocking since he hasn’t shown up on the show in many seasons. I love that the modern family thing works for them, but it’s weird to watch.
Jennifer wants to keep off the weight after her surgery, so she takes her daughter for a walk. She wants to set a good example for her children.
Say what you want about Jennifer, but she’s a damn good mother. Her love for her children shines every time they interact.
Her daughter is being bullied at school, which puts the Jackie drama into perspective. Jackie claiming bullying so quick is concerning when there is real bullying going on in the world. Using buzz words like that over small issues can cause more harm than good.
It’s time for Joe’s book release party, and I hope everyone can get along. With this family, anything can happen.
Margaret and Dolores are the first to arrive. It’s so fun and refreshing to see them finally as friends. A lot better than fighting over petty Siggy Flicker drama.
Teresa is a big woman for putting on a brave face and showing up at the party. Her personal life is in shambles, but she’s still there to support her brother. The facility holding Joe is further away than his original prison. So rough.
Dolores has an event planned for Teresa, but Teresa wants Danielle to come. Melissa and Margaret are so against the idea, but Dolores puts the ball in Teresa’s court.
Anytime Danielle is around, there is bound to be mounds of drama. Teresa’s allegiance to Danielle must come out of guilt for what she did to her daughters.
Teresa asks for Jackie to be disinvited from the event. Wait what? I thought the agreed to a ceasefire last week. That didn’t last long.
Joe gives a passionate speech about his father inspiring him, and it was touching. The love he has for his father is so raw and real.
What makes this franchise shine is how genuine and rooted in family values it is. Well, throwing wine glasses people doesn’t hurt the ratings.
Melissa’s throwing herself a 40th birthday party and invites Jackie to join her planning. How long until Melissa brings up Teresa not wanting her Dolores‘ event?
Melissa breaks a super expensive glass while searching through the store. Been there done that. I don’t touch anything remotely breakable at this point. I’m a hazard.
Melissa tells Jackie about the obstacle course event and that Teresa doesn’t want her there. Jackie plans to call her out which could go really south.
Melissa also doesn’t want her birthday ruined by some classic Jersey drama. Good luck with THAT. Nobody can ever behave in this group.
Margaret meets with her friend Gina that was dating the same guy that Danielle was. She feels betrayed by her boyfriend and Danielle and calls her pure evil.
Margaret coming with some motives for this meeting! It’s awful how their friendship turned out, but Danielle can’t be friends with anyone. Margaret wants to be civil for Teresa’s sake, but she won’t kiss Danielle’s ass.
I actually spoke to Marge Sr. on the phone recently. She told me Danielle and Margaret would never be friends again under any circumstance.
I’d like to think though that everyone is mature enough to be civil in public. However, we all know that won’t happen.
Jennifer is nervous to see Danielle at this obstacle course. I thought they were on great terms last season. Jennifer brought up Danielle’s real name “Beverly,” which triggered her.
I might be a Jennifer stan for this reason alone. What a legendary moment. Jennifer said she felt threatened in that moment.
Danielle is losing more allies in this group. Eventually if she reaches no friends, she’ll have no place. Danielle shows up and greets both Jennifer and Margaret. So far so good.
The obstacle court was fun to watch, but mostly uneventful. Margaret doesn’t get why Teresa would want to hang around someone toxic and negative like Danielle.
I don’t get the point of having Danielle around either. For drama’s sake, sure I understand. However, in real life I couldn’t deal with that ever.
All of the women go back to Dolores‘ place after the game. Can Margaret and Danielle coexist in such a small space? We are about to find out!
Jennifer tells them about her daughter being bullied, and Margaret shades her. She compares it to the Instagram video which are honestly not the same thing.
I think it’s super rude of Jennifer to do, but it’s a little different. Stop trying to make this bullying storyline a thing.
Teresa is upset about the cheating comments by Jackie. She screams about it calling it an “assassination of character.” Danielle calls out Jennifer for not inviting her to her husband’s company event. WHAT A TOTAL MESS.
Jennifer says she apologized, but Danielle tries to say that didn’t happen. When Jennifer says she had the text messages to prove it, Danielle backtracks.
Everything spirals and Margaret and Danielle face off calling each other homewreckers and whores. Lovely comments.
Teresa follows Danielle outside to check on her, but the other women hate Danielle. It ends with Margaret trying to get Teresa to understand what Danielle does to everyone. However, Teresa thinks Margaret hits Danielle with low blows every time for no reason.
