Married to Medicine stars Dr. Heavenly Kimes and Quad Webb recently appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. The two couldn’t keep the shade away when discussing Dr. Gregory Lunceford and his new wife, Lateasha Lunceford.

The two discussed what they thought about her being on the show and how Quad was clearly “winning” to a bemused Andy, who did his best to get them to spill the “sweet tea,” so to speak, and share how they really felt — not that it was really hard.

Not happy having the new wife on the show

Andy went right in and asked Quad how she felt about Heavenly being partially responsible for getting Sweet Tea on the show.

“I didn’t like it,” Quad answered immediately. “I did not like it. You know Heavenly and I talk a lot, and that should have been a conversation, but ultimately, with Heavenly, it’s about what’s good for the show. And she thought having the girl on the show would be good for the show.”

She couldn’t help but add some shade at the end. She said about her ex’s new wife, “And she knows that if she ever tries me, she’s done.” 

Heavenly quickly added, “Right, and I think Quad is winning. And I wanted people to see that Quad is not stuck on a marriage. In fact, if she wanted Greg back, she could have him.”

At this point, even Andy was shocked, clarifying, “So you wanted her on the show to portray Quad as winning?”

Some shade with your tea? 

The shade session continued in a segment Andy called “Spill the Sweat Tea,” where he asked Quad some questions about Lateasha and asked her to answer as nicely as possible.

In this segment, Quad shared that she thought Lateasha was better suited to Greg because he easily influenced her, that she thought Lateasha’s style was “jivey,” that Lateasha was too honest, and that she couldn’t even bring herself to answer how Lateasha fit in intellectually with the cast.

“At this point, you got too many damn games, Andy,” Quad said while shaking her head.

Married to Medicine continues Sundays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Sister Wives: Christine and Janelle Brown Deny Trash-Talking Kody

Sister Wives stars Janelle and Christine Brown have undoubtedly gone through a lot, and the fallout continues for as long as former husband Kody Brown is on screen. Because instead of just focusing on himself, healing, and moving on, the Brown patriarch is instead placing blame on everyone around him

Kody accused former spouses Janelle and Christine of “trash-talking” him on the recent episode of Sister Wives: One-on-One because, according to him, he’s guilty of “not loving them.” Wow, talk about deflecting. It couldn’t possibly be because of his own bad behavior, right?

Not having it

Christine and Janelle are not letting themselves get pulled into Kody’s ongoing victim narrative. “I think he’s trying to find fault because he’s not liking things that are happening in his life,” Christine told ET. “So he’s trying to find fault with other people.”

Sounds like classic narcissist behavior.

“I feel bad that he feels like that,” Janelle added. “But it does feel like he’s trying to find a reason.”

Christine added that Kody is most likely searching for an answer as to why his life imploded. Also, reasons as to why he’s currently estranged from some of his former wives and children. But as far as she’s concerned, the relationships he should be focusing on are the ones with his kids. 

“His relationship with his kids is his responsibility,” she said. “He needs to fix it.”

And that strained relationship with his children may have impacted his marriages more than he cares to admit.

He needs to be better with the kids

Christine and Janelle would love for Kody to be better with the kids. Christine, who now lives in Utah, said she’d cancel plans when Kody comes to see their youngest daughter, Truely, 13, so that she can spend time with her dad.

And both former wives agree that Kody’s friction with his kids contributed to his unraveling marriages. Christine admitted that it was a factor in her decision to leave. She said the way he was with the kids was not the relationship she wanted for them or herself.

Janelle added that she and Kody drifted apart in the natural ebb and flow of relationships, but then he became estranged from the children, and it was the sign she needed to know she had to move on.

“I would have stayed and stayed if the kids were okay,” Janelle admitted. Although she’s happy where she is now, she said she remains connected to Kody through their children and hopes he tries to repair his relationships with them.

“I hope that eventually, time heals,” Janelle concluded. 

TELL US – DO YOU THINK KODY WILL EVER OWN UP TO HIS BAD BEHAVIOR? WILL HE CONTINUE TO BLAME EVERYONE ELSE BUT HIMSELF?

Andy Cohen Responds to Discussion Surrounding RHOSLC Season 4 Reunion Seating Chart

Andy Cohen and Monica Garcia on Watch What Happens Live
Photo by: Charles Sykes/Bravo via Getty Images

With any Real Housewives reunion seating chart, there’s going to be some level of controversy. Bravo fans are some of the most opinionated in the world, and they’ll ride or die for their favorite stars.

So, when the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 4 reunion seating chart came out, fans had plenty of thoughts to share. A lot of the discussion online centered around Monica Garcia, who was seated just to the right of Andy Cohen.

Monica’s seating spurred a minor debate among RHOSLC fans. Some thought it wasn’t kosher to put a newbie in the top spot. Others argued that Monica deserved the seat more than anyone. So, Andy decided to put in his two cents.

Monica isn’t the first newbie with top-billing

On his SiriusXM show, Radio Andy, the host addressed the discussion surrounding Monica’s reunion seat. “A lot of buzz online yesterday wondering because Bravo put out the seating chart for the reunion and Monica was sitting next to me and there was a lot of conversation about, ‘Has there ever been a first-season Housewife sitting next to me at the reunion?’

“There have been quite a few,” he said. Andy named multiple Housewives who’d been given the first chair at their first reunions, including Marlo Hampton, Shannon Beador, and Kenya Moore among others. Andy specifically recalled, “In 2014, this is the one I always remember, Kristen Taekman sat next to me on her first season of RHONY.”

When the SiriusXM clip made it to YouTube, discussion carried on in the comments. One fan wrote, “Monica ABSOLUTELY deserves the first chair. For sure! So far, most of the season, has her at the center.” Of course, others argued the opposite, with one saying, “Her whole story is very manufactured & inauthentic.”

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City continues Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

Tori Spelling Facing Huge Tax Liens Amid Personal Struggles

If you thought your 2023 was rough, just know that Tori Spelling’s year has probably been worse. Not only have financial issues plagued her family, but she and her longtime husband Dean McDermott separated earlier this year. Tori and Dean share five kids, and they also had to flee their home after uncovering an extreme mold infestation. Truly, it’s been one thing after another. Then comes the tax.

Unfortunately for Tori, she can add one more thing to her unlucky list. According to The Blast, the former Beverly Hills, 90210 actress just got hit with some hefty tax liens.

Tax trouble for Tori

Just in time for the holidays, court documents revealed that the State of California Franchise Tax Board filed several liens against Tori. The Golden State said she owes nearly $96,000 in unpaid taxes. The first lien is a result of unpaid taxes spanning from 2017 to 2019, totaling $59,049.02. The second lien was for $36,717.11 in unpaid taxes from 2021.

The State of California filed the lien against Tori’s Calabasas home. They made it clear that fees and interest will continue to mount up until the debt is fully paid off.

Unfortunately, this isn’t Tori’s first time facing tax liens. She and Dean were previously slapped with state and federal tax liens in 2016, 2017, and 2018 totaling nearly $1 million. They even had a $324 New York City state tax warrant.

Clearly, Tori is struggling to stay afloat. Meanwhile, her mother Candy Spelling has an estimated net worth of $600 million thanks to what she inherited from her late husband Aaron Spelling. In a recent interview, Dean called out his mother-in-law for not being more supportive of her struggling kids.

“It’s your daughter. It’s your flesh and blood and it’s your grandbabies,” Dean said. “And for someone who is so blessed to have so much, it would be really nice for her to share with her daughter.”

When Aaron passed away, Candy received millions and millions of dollars. Tori got $800,000. When discussing Candy’s wealth, Dean said that Tori doesn’t feel that she’s owed any money. But with these liens stacking up, it probably would be nice to have a little bit of a lifeline.

TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT TORI HAS BEEN SLAPPED WITH MORE TAX LIENS? DO YOU THINK CANDY SHOULD HELP HER DAUGHTER FINANCIALLY?

Love Island Games: Could Callum and Liberty Get Together After the Show?

It’s not a game anymore. For the majority of Love Island Games, contestant Callum Hole was paired with Liberty Poole of Love Island UK, and it was obvious that the fans wanted the pair to be more than friends. Unfortunately, according to Callum, there just wasn’t a romantic connection.

A day after the finale, he told The Messenger, “She is one of the nicest girls I’ve ever met. She’s such a beautiful girl. But there just no spark there for me that I need.”

The new Callum

He added, “Don’t get me wrong. The old Callum would have still had a rip for the sake of having a rip in there,” he explained. “But I was like, ‘No, she’s actually such a nice girl. I don’t want to f*ck her over.’ I’m actually, for once, like, ‘I’m just going to be your friend, and we’re going to leave here on good terms,’” he said.

In the end, he shared that jeopardizing their friendship for just a bit of fun wasn’t worth it. Sounds like he’s done a lot of growing up.

When he refers to the “old Callum,” he means the Callum who made his first reality TV appearance on Love Island Australia back in Season 4. During his tenure, he coupled up with five different girls and ultimately finished in second place with partner Madeline Wilcox, whom he split up with shortly after due to the challenges of their long-distance relationship.

A love connection

In Love Island Games, he found that spark he was looking for with Deb Chubb, a late addition to the show from Love Island USA. And although they will definitely have to face the challenges of an even longer-distance relationship (California to Australia), Callum says he and Deb are willing to give it a go. He even said he plans on spending a lot of time stateside in 2024.

“We’re just taking it as it comes,” he explained. “She’s such a relaxed and chill person. We’ll see what happens. I don’t think we’re gonna put any pressure on it. If it works out, it works out.”

And as for Callum, this won’t be the last time we’ll be seeing him on TV. He said he’ll soon be starring in three different shows if everything goes according to his plan. Guess, we’ll have to wait and see.

Love Island Games Season 1 is streaming on Peacock.

Real Housewives Who Have Fans Pressing the Fast Forward Button

(Photo by: Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images)

Bravo‘s hit Real Housewives series features over-the-top female personalities. Several of these women are fun to watch. On the other hand, some of the worst reality television stars of all time have also been seen. Whether they’re stirring the pot, repeating storylines, or flipping tables, their scenes are growing old.

Over on Reddit, viewers have been weighing in on this very topic. The question posed was “Which of the housewives scenes do you skip, or do you watch all of them?” In response, these were the Real Housewives who have the fans pressing their fast forward buttons the most.

Heather Gay

Bravo/YouTube

Heather Gay has been a main cast member on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City since the very first season. In Seasons 1-3, Heather faithfully stood by her bestie Jen Shah, even when Jen was charged with fraud. Thankfully, when Jen changed her plea to guilty, Heather finally distanced herself in order to stand with the victims.

Between Heather’s blind loyalties, her unsolved black-eye storyline, and her often-discussed journey of leaving Mormonism, fans have grown weary. Case in point, while one stated that they loved her, they also admitted to getting “bored during her solo scenes, when she’s doing a Ted Talk on Mormonism.” Another quickly agreed, saying, “it feels like all she ever does is talks about how she used to be a Mormon and relates everything to it. It’s like she does it because she thinks people will find her more interesting.”

“I find Heather disingenuous and I think she exaggerates,” wrote another. This response was also met in agreeance by a fan who penned, “Heather’s inauthenticity and pick me vibes makes me cringe.” All of these reactions aside, Heather is currently starring on Season 4, sans Jen. Only time will tell if she rebounds, or, if the fans will continue to hit fast forward through her scenes.

Mary Cosby

Bravo/YouTube

Just like Heather, Mary Cosby debuted as a main cast member during Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 1. However, Mary left following Season 2 and sat all of Season 3 out. Newly returned for Season 4, Mary is currently filming in a “friend-of” lesser position.

Mary is a problematic mess. She once compared Jen to “Mexican criminals,” and then she stated to the franchise’s only Vietnamese cast member, Jennie Nguyen, that she “loved slanted-eyes.” In addition, Mary is the First Lady of a Pentecostal Church, where she’s been accused of poaching members for cash.

“I can’t wrap my head around how she has any friends and a church full of followers,” wrote one fan. Another simply stated, “I find her extremely annoying.” Several used the barf-faced emojis to express their displeasure.

On the flip side, Mary has had a few funny moments in Season 4, which one fan addressed. “I used to skip Mary’s parts in past seasons. The cringe factor was too much for me. Word of advice: don’t skip Mary’s scenes this season,” they stressed, showing that the verdict may still be out on whether or not Mary will continue to be a snoozefest, with easy to skip scenes.

Ashley Darby

Bravo/YouTube

Ashley Darby has been a main cast member on Real Housewives of Potomac for all seven seasons thus far. Her failed marriage to Michael Darby really divided the viewers, as Ashley rode hard for her man, even when he was accused of cheating.

One fan’s reaction to Ashley was heated. In fact, their first statement was, “I can’t stand that b*tch.” This fan went on to explain why, and their examples were nothing short of YIKES. “She defends all his nastiness, she is vile and hateful, she gets a kick out of hurting the other ladies…she is a disgusting human being and I want her of my screen asap,” they lamented.

With multiple likes, and another simply writing-in her name, it’s clear that Ashley is someone who many tune out from while viewing this series.

Gina Kirschenheiter

Bravo/YouTube

Gina Kirschenheiter joined Real Housewives of Orange County in Season 13. Her storylines have featured a crumbling marriage, a move to a townhouse, a new love, and really, really unfortunate hair days. As for how viewers perceive Gina, with 18 likes received, a statement of “anything with Gina from OC” pretty much sums it all up.

Gina’s name popped up often. For many, Gina is clearly a Real Housewives star whose presence signals a chance to use the restroom.

Whitney Rose

Bravo/YouTube

Heading back over to Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Whitney Rose‘s name came up a lot. As for which scenes viewers are pressing fast forward on, one explained, “Anything related to Whitney’s hillin’ journey and/or Mormonism.” Another simply listed Whitney’s name as someone whose scenes they prefer to skip.

“I’m not a fan of Whitney’s at all, she’s mental to me,” expressed one. “Yeah, I think Whitney is a huge instigator because she wants to be center of attention and in the middle of all the drama” agreed another. In a similar fashion, another chimed in to state that, “nothing Whitney says is super believable.” With her name coming up this often, it’s pretty clear that Whitney’s got a few haters, and that her scenes require fast forward buttons for many.

Honorable Mentions

Bravo/YouTube

With at least two people agreeing, but not a ton more, a few additional Real Housewives were also listed. Teresa Giudice, Tamra Judge, Meredith Marks, Angie Katsanevas, Jessel Taank, Sanya Richards-Ross, and Drew Sidora, be warned, as your fans are starting to sleep on your scenes.

Stubborn Below Deck Chefs Who Ignored What Guests Wanted

(Photo by: Laurent Basset/Peacock/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images)

The Below Deck Chefs have difficult jobs. Not only do they have to prepare meals for large parties without sous-chefs, but they also have to cook everything that they serve within minuscule galleys. At times, these hired culinary artists have outdone themselves, producing epic dishes and meals that exceed their guests’ preference sheets. Other times, they’ve failed, letting their tempers flare while their dishes burn everyone’s tips down to the ground.

In rare instances, cultural miscommunications have even occurred, which can affect the way that a dish is prepared. For example, Chef Jack Luby is currently starring over on Below Deck Mediterranean. When his American guests requested eggs, Jack became flustered. He then blamed his English background for his inability to grasp how eggs are prepared in the U.S.

Jack also struggled with how to create vegan dishes. This was a big problem, as the guests had specific dietary needs that needed to be met, hence their detailed preference sheets. To his credit, Jack is trying, and he has only complained within the privacy of his galley. As he hasn’t woken up and chosen violence towards the guests (yet), I’ll cut him some slack.

Looking back, not every Chef has responded to their guests’ preferences with poise. Some have actually become quite pigheaded, refusing to believe that any guest knows more than they do when it comes to fine dining. On this, three of Bravo‘s yachties quickly spring to mind, as they all flat out ignored their guest’s asks. Luckily, none of these stubborn Chefs are likely to ever return to this series, but I’m still going to call them out, because I’ve got the time.

Adam Glick, Onions > Guest’s Preferences

Bravo/YouTube

On Below Deck Mediterranean Season 2, several of the charter guests very specifically wrote “no onions” on their preference sheets. Chef Adam Glick took one look at their shared easy ask and immediately transformed into Adam Dick. Thinking that he knew their taste buds better than they did, Adam ignored their written requests and used onions anyways. The guests complained, and the food was sent back.

“New Money, they think that it’s an opportunity to put people down,” he whined, taking their eating habits as a personal attack. In retaliation, Adam chose to once again purposely put onions in their meals, despite their initial complaints. After a frustrated guest left the table to pull Hannah Ferrier aside, Hannah called Adam out. On this, Adam gave zero f’s.

Over his antics, an annoyed guest took matters into their own hands by complaining to Captain Sandy Yawn. When confronted, Adam lied to his boss about his actions. Not only was he stubborn, but he was also a coward. Walk the plank, Adam.

Kevin Dobson, Mr. Never Wrong

Bravoblogbitch/Instagram

Oh Kevin Dobson. You were so talented, yet so stubborn. Mr. Never Wrong appeared on Below Deck Season 7, where he heavily clashed with the ladies onboard. One cameraman even caught him kicking sand into Kate Chastain‘s eye, like a toddler acting out when mad.

As for his interactions with the charter guests, one in particular was a private Chef, and on Kevin’s skills, she wasn’t pleased. Onboard, two birthdays were being celebrated, which the guests listed on their preference sheets. In addition, several of the guests wished to avoid dairy, which they also noted prior to boarding. On these notations, Kevin’s actions said, neh.

For the guests’ first lunch, Kevin made pizza. Every single pizza that he made contained cheese, which is clearly a dairy product. Kate reminded Kevin of this, and he complained. Moving on to their dinner, the guests requested a birthday cake, for obvious reasons. When a cake failed to surface, Kevin blamed Kate, stating that it was her job to plan the celebrations.

Thankfully, Kevin had made a dessert for that night. It just wasn’t the cake that the guests had requested. Thinking quickly, Kate brought out two shots of Absinthe, lit them both on fire to serve as candles, and then proceeded to sing Happy Birthday.

When the guests voiced their complaints over Kevin’s dismissals of their preference sheets, Kevin grew childish once again. The next day, he ordered Courtney Skippon to leave the blueberries, sausage, and cream off of the offended guests breakfast plate. Overall, Kate saved the charter that Kevin’s stubbornness threatened to destroy.

Ryan McKeown, Mr. No Squid For You

Watch What Happens Live/YouTube

Chef Ryan McKeown came on board for Below Deck Down Under Season 1. Thankfully, he was fired. Yep. he was that bad, with an inflexible, deflecting personality to boot. After coming for Aesha Scott and Captain Jason Chambers, Ryan was finally sent packing.

As for his ability to read and respect the guests preferences, Ryan failed miserably, all while stating that he was giving the guests what they wanted. When Andy Cohen called out Ryan’s dismissals of preference sheets on Watch What Happens Live, Ryan stammered “ahhhh, I beg to differ, a little bit.” He then redirected the blame, throwing Aesha under the bus, as it was her lack of communication with him that soured his meals. Um….what?!

On his actual acts, here’s two of many. First, following a fishing excursion, the guests caught a squid for Ryan to add to their already planned seafood dinner. Behind their backs, Ryan refused to do anything with their catch, because it wasn’t gutted and scaled. When the guests complained following his blatant dismissal that night, Ryan found himself in a heated confrontation with the Captain.

If this wasn’t annoying enough for you to care, reflect back on the charter guests who all wanted different items for breakfast, which triggered Ryan’s anger. For their lunches, Ryan therefore moved super slowly, which saw one of the guests coming down to check on their food’s status. Even still, Ryan’s passive-aggressive behaviors showed him hurrying like a snail, because he was the definition of stubborn.

Why Southern Charm Needs Kathryn Dennis Back

Kathryn Dennis

Southern Charm fans first met the 21-year-old Kathryn Dennis during Season 1 when she first met Thomas Ravenel. Kathryn was fiery, beautiful, and a free spirit, but her flame soon faded. The two had a tumultuous relationship that included a lot of fighting and questions about how controlling the former treasurer of South Carolina was over the young redhead. But by 2015, the couple had a daughter and son. 

Throughout her time on the show, Kathryn became known as an explosive personality due to her ongoing battles with Thomas and the rest of the cast. She never balked when it came to standing up for herself, which most fans admired. Fans enjoyed following Kathryn’s story and always hoped for the best outcome for her, so when she announced her departure from the series, viewers worried the show wouldn’t be the same, and it seems that their worries may have been justified.

Kathryn Needs a Redemption Season

Kathryn Dennis/Instagram

Without a doubt, Kathryn and her antics carried the show for multiple seasons. Recently, Kathryn found herself in the news on October 20th for an alleged hit-and-run. The news got fans thinking that Kathryn could really use a redemption season to get back on the right track.

The last Southern Charm fans really heard was that she was still fighting for visitation and custody while Thomas moved their children to Aiken, SC. It would be nice to see Kathryn winning at life instead of constantly struggling. 

It also didn’t help that Kathryn’s last season showed her being criticized for her family heritage and out-of-touch mindset. Craig Conover hinted that Kathryn actually filmed a few scenes for Season 9, which gave hope that Kathryn could come back in a full-capacity role.

While at BravoCon, the Sewing Down South owner revealed that “Shep and I actually filmed with her this year. I don’t think it was supposed to happen, but we did it, and I think they did it as a favor to us because we love her so much.” Sadly, he doesn’t think fans will see the footage. 

The Show Has Taken a Nose Dive

What made the show great was the truly bizarre ecosystem of Charleston, where having a family member who was prominent on the wrong side of the Civil War conferred higher status. Watching these Southern ladies and gentlemen who were born with silver spoons in their mouths was interesting, but now the last two seasons have been a bit boring. Some personalities like Leva Bonaparte and Venita Aspen add nothing to the series, and while they are lovely women, fans don’t want to see well-behaved people on a reality TV show. 

You can’t deny that with the exit of Cameran Eubanks, Naomi Olindo, Chelsea Meissner, and the JD scandal, the series has taken a significant hit over the last few seasons. Fans were given lines by Kathryn that were iconic, including “Stop yelling, you sound like a f*cking dolphin!” and “Good thing Thomas’ new girlfriend is a hospice nurse, that will come in handy.”

The shade from Kathryn was relentless, and the series needs it back. 

The Charmer Guys Want Kathryn Back

Southern Charm recap
Bravo/YouTube

During BravoCon 2023, all the Charleston men voiced the same feelings about how much they “love” the mother of two. Craig championed Kathryn, saying, “The point of me telling you that is we would love for her to come back. I think the door is always open. I know a lot of people here have recently; we’ve been in contact with her.” Austen Kroll also speaks to Kathryn often and hopes the network invites her back. 

Shep Rose also stood up for his former flame, noting, “We’ve all come a long way, and we’ve seen the bumps, the bruises, and all that stuff. And unfortunately, you know, Kathryn stumbles sometimes. We do love her ’cause there’s a person right inside her that we know is a good person.”

Kathryn is Southern Charm in every sense of the title, and the network would be foolish not to at least think of asking the star back. If anything, Kathryn’s return would give us a break from Austen’s jaunts with his friend’s exes.

Jackie Goldschneider’s Friendship With Teresa Giudice Is Shocking, Here’s Why

(Photo by: Todd Williamson/Bravo via Getty Images)

Jackie Goldschneider joined the Real Housewives of New Jersey in Season 9. And this newbie wasn’t afraid to confront Teresa Giudice. Usually, most new cast members try to avoid having Teresa flip a table in their direction.

Fans have heard that during RHONJ Season 14, friendships and alliances have shifted. And the most shocking news is that Teresa and Jackie have forged a friendship. I certainly didn’t have that on my Jersey bingo card.

Jackie and Teresa’s Turbulent History

(Photo by: Eugene Gologursky/Bravo)

From the jump, Teresa and Jackie butted heads. According to Life & Style, Teresa blamed Melissa Gorga for allowing her husband,  Joe Gorga, to become angry. Jackie sided with Melissa, stating that a woman wasn’t responsible for controlling her husband.

Jackie asked Teresa, “Do you really feel like your husband would be in jail right now if you could control what he did?” As expected, Teresa didn’t take kindly to Jackie mentioning her husband, Joe Giudice, and his situation “at camp.”

During Season 11, Teresa spread a rumor that Evan Goldschneider, Jackie’s husband, was cheating on her at the gym. Jackie confronted Teresa and used an analogy. She compared the cheating gossip to hearing that Teresa’s teenage daughter, Gia Giudice, was using drugs in the bathroom.

First off, it was a terrible analogy. And secondly, analogies are never understood on this show. It never works.

Anyway, this feud fractured their relationship. And later that season, during another squabble with Teresa, Jackie mentioned that Teresa went to jail. Which no one ever says to Teresa.

Jackie Always Supported Melissa Gorga

Teresa was always at odds with her sister-in-law, Melissa, and her brother, Joe. Margaret Josephs and Jackie always had Melissa’s back.

When Melissa and Joe decided not to attend Teresa’s royal wedding to Luis Ruelas, Jackie supported their decision. “I completely understand and support them not having attended the wedding,” Jackie told Page Six. “It was the right decision for them, for sure.”

Of course, Jackie’s friendship with and support for Melissa rubbed Teresa the wrong way.

Melissa Was Shady to Jackie

However, Melissa allegedly shaded Jackie in a video that quickly made the social media rounds. “Jackie wants to be invited to every single party,” Melissa reportedly said. Is that a crime?

Jackie responded to the video drama on Watch What Happens Live. “Well, I do want to be invited to everything. But I have yet to speak to her about it, so we’ll see how that goes,” Jackie remarked.

Jackie and Margaret Josephs Were Besties, Until Now

The Real Margaret Josephs/Instagram

Talk about shifting alliances. People reported that Margaret discussed a change in her friendship with Jackie during BravoCon 2023. “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,” Margaret stated. “She has a nice case of amnesia.”

Melissa also weighed in on Jackie’s change of heart. “It’s confusing for me,” Melissa stated. Same, Melissa. “I don’t know how authentic she’s being about her new decisions in life.”

We still don’t know exactly what caused the rift between Margaret and Jackie. Jackie said it was “very surprising” where she stands with Margaret. “Sometimes friendships … they evolve,” Jackie said. “They come to an end.” That sounds final.

Now Jackie Is Team Teresa

Jackie has moved from Margaret and Melissa and jumped over to Team Teresa. I feel like I’m writing about a Twilight Zone version of RHONJ.

But this is no fake friendship for the sake of the show. Jackie characterized her relationship with the OG as “new, growing, and mutually respectful…unexpected.” This duo certainly was unexpected.

“It was really organic,” Jackie explained. “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. We like each other,” the writer added. “Yeah, it really grew organically.”

During Season 13 and the upcoming season, Jackie is a friend of the housewives. But, if she is buddies with Teresa, that could always change. Could a full-time spot be in Jackie’s future? After all, it is Teresa’s show.

Meanwhile, some fans were calling for Teresa’s firing. And others hoped that Melissa would be axed. Season 14 will be a transformational one for RHONJ. And Jackie and Teresa’s shocking new friendship will be a large part of that drama.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK THAT JACKIE AND TERESA HAVE A GENUINE FRIENDSHIP? WILL MARGARET AND JACKIE MEND THEIR RELATIONSHIP?
