Teresa Giudice revealed her reaction to Margaret Josephs’ decision to leave her wedding early – unannounced – in support of Melissa Gorga. Margaret later defended herself, and Dolores Catania claimed Teresa “yelled” at her after the departure.
Drama spilled into the Real Housewives of New Jersey wedding after Teresa’s brother Joe Gorga and his wife Melissa revealed their decision to skip it, following the drama from the season finale.
On The Real Housewives of New Jersey After Show, shared by @rhonjsource on Instagram, Dolores revealed Teresa’s reaction to Margaret leaving the wedding.
“She comes over, and she was so excited [to dance with Margaret],” said Dolores. “I saw her running over to the table, and then she says to me, ‘Where did everyone go?’ She goes, ‘I can dance now. Everything’s off. My mic’s off. The cameras are down.’”
According to Dolores, Teresa was “very upset” when Dolores informed her of Margaret’s departure, and she “yelled” at Dolores “for a minute.”
Teresa, who was also present in the interview, indicated that Margaret “shouldn’t have come” if she “didn’t want to come.”
In a separate interview, Margaret claimed she couldn’t “dance the night away” because Melissa and Joe were “at home.” She then insisted she wasn’t “mak[ing] the moment” about herself.
Jennifer Fessler also addressed her decision to leave with Margaret, who was her ride to the wedding. “[It] was the wrong thing for me to do, 100 percent,” admitted Jennifer. “In hindsight, I just, I felt really badly about it. [A] wedding is sacred.”
Teresa said Margaret “came for a photo op,” and shared that Jen Fessler “called me the next day to apologize.”
The three-part Real Housewives of New Jersey season 13 reunion begins airing on Tuesday, May 30, at 8/7c on Bravo.
