[dramatic music]
- I do want to give some context to the announcement
that there was going to be no "Jersey" reunion.
This will all make sense once you see the finale.
* *
- They learned from the best, white trash.
- What else have you put in the media?
- Shut the fuck up.
- You sick animal. - Oh, my god!
- You animal! - You're full of shit.
- You're a little fucking snake.
[dramatic music]
[indistinct chatter]
- All right.
Quiet all around, please.
* *
- This is really weird.
- OK, remember, you're looking into the camera now.
- Oh. This is all new and different today.
* *
- Nice to see you. Mwah!
- I'm going to put you in the mosaic room.
- I'm going in the "scene of the crime" room?
- Yes.
- So I made it here before Teresa? Wow.
- Wow.
- How are you?
- I'm good.
How are you?
- Hi. - Hi, you.
- I should step out, right?
- Hi, guys. - How are you?
- So you get to choose what room you want to go.
- Oh, Jennifer Aydin, obviously.
Back at Rails. - Yeah.
You know why we're here.
- Know why we're here.
- I'm, like, anxious to see it.
That was a rough day.
So having to watch it back is probably not going to be easy.
[tense music]
* *
[upbeat music]
- Thank you, sweetheart.
- Of course.
- I knew I heard your voice.
- Hi. - Oh, my God.
I love that.
- I love your skirt.
- Oh, look at you, ready for battle.
- If we're going to talk shit,
I'm going to look good doing it.
- The good news is we don't have to sit across
from anybody we can't stomach.
- Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi.
- Oh, hi. - Hi.
- How are you? - Good.
How are you? - You look great.
- Mwah! - You do, too.
The fucking PTSD is real.
- That's what I said.
- I said the same thing.
- I'm not excited to watch the finale.
But my plan today, honestly, I'm not trashing anybody.
I'm, like, not interested in adding to the toxicity.
My priority is who I'm really friends with.
I consider you guys my real friends, and Jenn Fessler,
of course.
- Is this the first time you're seeing Jenn Fessler?
- Yes.
I never talked to her again.
- She should apologize to you.
- I don't have any beef with Teresa.
We're not close like I am with you.
- When you're sitting down with somebody that
has tried to attack my husband and our family,
they should get zero.
- I don't know what to tell you.
I told her exactly what I thought.
I would-- maybe you wanted me to go in there guns blazing.
- It's weird. It's weird.
- I'm watching the season so far.
Jenn Fessler, she really had her own opinion.
But now, after the show is done, in interviews,
she changed her mind.
I think Margaret got in her ear.
Obviously, she got in her ear.
- I'm sure Jackie's going to feel very
uncomfortable in that room.
- No, she's not.
She's going to be like this.
Look whose room I'm in, everybody.
Look, it's Teresa right here.
- No, I think-- no. Do you know what-- no.
I think-- - Oh, yeah, the two of them.
Jenn's like, I'm going to post that.
I'm going to-- you know? Let me--
- I wonder if they're both going to come in with the, um--
with their hair all curly like that,
looking like "Weird Al" Yankovic.
- Do I look like "Weird Al" Yankovic?
- I mean, literally they look-- no.
- I was going to wear my hair back, but I figured,
you know, like--
- I didn't know how hot it was going to be.
And then sometimes-- - No, your hair looks great.
- Your hair looks really good, too.
- You like it? - Yeah.
- Hi.
- Hi, girlfriends. - Hi.
- Look at you. So cute.
What's going on? - Hi.
I love this. Mwah! - Thanks.
You look great. Everyone looks great.
I love it. - Look at this.
We have charcuterie for the Last Supper.
- Yeah. - Yay.
- Oh, you look gorgeous.
- You picked the right room. - Hi.
Of course. Where else would I go?
Hi, baby. Mwah! - You look beautiful.
- Thank you. Hi.
Hi, beautiful. - You look beautiful. Mwah!
- Where can I sit? - You look like a bride.
- Come next to me. Come.
- Thank you.
- With a whole bunch of devils close by,
we need to look like angels.
- I'm coming in peace.
I want everyone to know I haven't watched the show
and I'm happy.
I'm fucking happy.
- Have you talked to Teresa at all?
- Nope.
- What's the deal with that?
- I haven't talked to her... [sighs]
since January.
December, January.
- What-- I mean, was it the catalyst that you realized
she was doing shit behind? What was it?
- No.
We were supposed to get together for dinner
right around Christmastime.
We're nominated for a People's Choice award,
and my girlfriend sends me a screenshot
of her posting a picture of the cast
with our faces scratched out.
And we just were texting. - Mm-hmm.
- I said, I'm taking a step back from you.
And that was it.
- Did Danielle ever tell you what her beef with you is?
- No.
And after watching the season, nothing ever
happened with the two of us.
Then we start promoting the show
and I hear that she has a problem with me.
And I'm like, you know what?
Now, I have nothing to say to her.
- What about Jenn Fessler?
Where's Jenn Fessler?
- I got caught behind the truck.
Are you calling to yell at me, too?
- No. I'm waiting for you. Hurry.
- It's the first time I'm ever late.
Everybody's yelling at me. Goodbye, Margaret.
- Wow, you're vicious. Goodbye.
- So we're going to watch it.
Let's watch it, like, start.
- We're only watching the finale, right?
- Yes, we're watching the finale.
- Oh, wait, are we really going to watch the episode right now?
This is so weird.
- Guys, it's coming. Let's watch.
- Previously this season
on "The Real Housewives of New Jersey"--
- Teresa, do you want to tell my husband what you said?
- I'm a drug dealer.
- It's out on social media.
[dramatic music]
- Something about Danielle, it's like
this entitled, elitist type of personality.
- [laughs]
- When I throw parties, I don't pay myself back.
All the money I make goes to the people.
- Fucking loser.
- I was turned off that you wanted
to make money on somebody that I would
think you considered a friend.
- Don't you fucking dare.
- That's a behavioral trait I would never do to my hair girl.
- Oh, you're so angry.
- You're doing it to me right now.
- Flirty. [laughter]
- Hi. - Hi.
- How are you?
- As soon as Teresa gives her the time of day,
everything that's transpired before never happened.
- Blah.
- Hello, Jenn Fessler.
- Hello. Hello.
- How are you?
- There is someone in Louie's past.
- The ex. - Oh, God.
I look fucking horrible.
- Is everybody here? - Yes, everybody's here.
- I'm last?
- Rails.
Good old Rails.
[tense music]
Hello.
* *
- Hello, ladies. - Hello.
- Hello.
How are you? - Hi.
You look gorgeous.
- I love this color. - Thank you.
- How are you? both: Mwah!
- How you doing? - Hi, baby.
- I like this color. Mwah!
- Thank you.
- Wait, you didn't say hi to them.
- I did. - Oh.
- All right, so we waited a really long time for you,
and I want to watch the episode.
I want to know what you think now that you watched
the whole season back and you were riding
hard for Jenn coming at me.
- I know that she thinks that you didn't just pay for it,
that you made money on it. - Right.
That's psychotic. Sounds like you have her back.
- I do. - And I--
- I'm friends with her. - Ohh.
- I think you need to calm down.
I just got here because I don't have to sit in a room
like this with snakes.
I can go sit in another room with snakes that are nice.
- We have to talk about it. - OK, but I'm not--
I'm not ready to talk about it yet.
What I felt when I walked in was nothing welcoming.
So let's not pretend like you opened up your arms to me.
- Agreed. Well, I didn't.
- I didn't. I turned around and I said, hi, how are you?
- Oh, I'm sorry. I should have kissed you.
And by the way, watching it back, I was wrong.
Jen absolutely pushed you.
What happened that night, now that I have seen it live
in action, I don't blame you.
I regret defending Jen Aydin in that fight.
- That's really all I wanted to hear.
- Seeing it was a surprise for me and a disappointment.
- Cool. Cheers, Fessler.
- Cheers. - All right, Rachel.
You're up.
- I don't hate you.
And it's so unfortunate, like, what's transpired
between the two of us.
And seeing the season back, there's
so many things I genuinely feel, like, hurt about.
And I feel like I was really full into our friendship
and you weren't.
Like, from what I'm watching.
- I think you're awesome.
I've always liked you.
- I'm glad we cleared the air. - I am, too. I am, too.
- No, I mean, I just wanted to know
what you meant by it, you know? - I appreciate that.
- But I was like, I really like Jeff Fessler, so--
- No. We're good.
Did I hug her? I did.
That-- that didn't make me best friends
with her or it didn't make me have your back less.
I don't want this, Rachel.
- No, I don't either. - Aw.
See, guys?
- I hope that it's not just this meeting
that we can get back.
- Can we hug it out? - Yeah. Wait.
- This will make me feel a lot better.
- Nice dress. - You too.
You look beautiful.
- See?
Remember the love between--
- It started out very vicious.
I got a little scared for a minute.
- Next time on "The Real Housewives of New Jersey,"
they will be killing each other.
[laughter]
- I know.
- Let's continue on.
[upbeat music]
- Bella, angel of love.
You don't do horrible, evil shit.
- Ohh, little Bella. - Oh, God.
This is going to be the fight with me and Dolores.
- Oh, I don't even want to see this part.
- Is this when she calls you a See You Next Tuesday?
- Yes. - Oh, God.
- Dolores calls me a cunt here.
- I have to, like, try to relax, because I'm so uptight.
- Oh, let me get the pudding. - With all this shit going on.
- How come you're so upset? I'm not even upset.
I could give a shit. - I know, who cares?
Who gives a shit?
- Oh, and my poor dead dog.
- Bella died. - Bella died.
- She was, like, ten, I think?
Or maybe-- what was she?
- That's sad.
- Ugh.
- Guess what.
I pulled a real stunt.
I sent a gift.
It was a beautiful funeral arrangement on a stand.
- [laughs] - Margaret.
- This is yours, kid.
- From whom?
- See, we didn't see this.
- She's so disgusting.
It's from Marge. No, no, I don't want it.
Refuse it.
Tell her to stick it up her ass.
- That poor guy was crying.
- I don't want it.
- Look-- look at the poor guy.
He was, like, so scared.
- Take it off my property.
[laughing]
- Who's proud of something like that?
- I don't know, man.
- Evil.
- That was perfect, "for the loss of your dignity."
- She lost her dignity a really long time ago.
- Jackie's dead to me, too.
- Did she get a funeral arrangement yet?
- No, she doesn't get a funeral arrangement.
Jackie is the biggest hypocrite in the entire world.
And I'm glad I've learned now, so that she could go
to something where someone's going to try
and turn people against me.
- It wasn't presented to me as a hate summit.
It was presented to me as, I just
want you guys to hear me out.
Here are the facts. - Facts.
- But you're not really--you don't feel like any drops--
- It's not a bomb. - No, no, no, no, no.
There's no bombs to be dropped.
I'm very forthright.
I don't run in the shadows and in the dark.
You know what I mean?
- Yeah, you do.
- She's so, like, full of herself.
- Yeah, you do.
- Do you want to see them?
- I'll be dropping some bombs.
- If Jackie thought the texts were bad
that I revealed to Dolores--
- I'm a slob?
- No. That's so mean.
- That's disgusting.
- That's what she sent you?
- Just you wait.
[clapping]
- The screenshot queen.
- Oh.
Rolling up.
* Rolling, rolling, rolling *
- Oh, because she came from your house.
- Jesus.
Shut up.
- How was the burn session of Margaret Josephs?
- It wasn't a burn session.
The thing that she wanted us to know that you did
was that you were, like, a collaboration
with speaking to the ex.
- I have proof.
- You allegedly reached out to her in 2021.
- This might call for a screenshot shortly.
- I didn't even know who she was at that point.
- No, she contacted-- - Yes, you did.
- And all that stuff that's come out,
never had spoken to her.
- Before New York.
Lying.
- Never once.
When she's accusing me of all this stuff, never once.
- She's lying, right? - Yeah, she spoke to her a ton.
- Have I've spoken to her since then?
Absolutely.
Since then, for sure.
- Well, why wouldn't you?
- But why would you even speak to her?
To what, to validate something?
- Oh, yeah.
- To get something?
- Validated all the Bo Dietl shit.
Absolutely, after everything that happened,
what they did to my son.
- Because I'm tired of all of this whole thing.
- This is the whole thing.
- I'm so tired of it.
- I would never hold a summit, a burn summit.
- Brought up the summit you had before in New York.
- That wasn't a summit.
That's called doing a reunion review.
- Well, thanks for not inviting me to that.
- We did. I told you to come.
- See, that was a lie.
- I never-- you fucking lying cunt.
- I told you two days before.
- It's a serious thing to me that you're
telling me you said something you fucking didn't.
[together] Oh!
- I've never seen you that mad.
- Teresa has brought up the summit
you had before New York.
Thanks for not inviting me to that.
- We did. I told you to come.
- See, that was a lie.
- I never-- you fucking lying cunt.
- Oh! - What?
- You fucking never said that to me.
- Why'd she just get so mad?
- You invited me to this house the night before the reunion?
- I told you two days before.
I said, everyone's coming over, but I'm
sure you don't want to come.
And you go, I don't want to do that shit.
- You fucking never had that conversation with me.
- Dolores, [indistinct] conversation.
- Look how mad she got. - Liar.
Liar. - Wait.
I don't get what the big deal is.
All you said was that you invited her.
- It's a serious thing to me that you're telling me you said
something you fucking didn't.
- I've never seen you that mad, Dolores.
- Could it be that you forgot, or you're sure?
- Why would she invite me to something like that?
- No, because look at her. She's pissing you off.
- I don't get why it's making her so mad.
- That's an outright fucking lie.
- I have never seen her that mad.
- You're lying to my fucking face.
- I'm not lying. - You had a--
you fucking. - I'm not lying.
I'm not lying.
- I'm having a fucking really hard time with this right now.
- Well, she doesn't want to be accused a liar.
- She must have told them she didn't know about it.
- Guys, tensions are high.
We don't have to keep beating this up.
- It just-- listen. I'm sorry.
- I'm going to tell you the truth.
I do remember telling her.
We recall it in two different ways, but I'm not lying.
- Do you fucking think I was invited to this fucking thing?
- No. - No.
- Absolutely not.
Obviously, I believe that you were not invited.
- You know I don't get like that for nothing.
- Right.
- The fact that she's looking me in the eye
and telling me, yes, you were invited.
She saw an opportunity to make me look like a bad friend
to Teresa and a liar. That's what she was saying.
Thank you, Margaret.
Because now I know what you're capable of doing to me.
- Ohh.
Wait, I don't see anything that was that bad.
Am I missing something?
- I didn't do anything bad.
- Well, you're not a lying cunt.
I take it back. - I was almost crying.
- You know what? - I was very upset.
Was I trying to make her look like a bad friend?
- I'm sorry that I yelled.
I only yell at my sisters like that.
- Aw, I can't--
- Listen, you know I don't get that mad at someone
I don't care about.
You have to understand that.
- I almost had a breakdown. - OK.
OK. - Wow.
- As close as I am with these two, I'm also close with them.
And I'm going to go walk over and see Margaret,
because I know seeing her dog is probably not OK right now.
And I don't like how this went down.
- Why do you think about her saying that she
knows what you're capable of?
- I know; it was obnoxious.
I know exactly what she's trying to say.
Like, I would lie to try and make
her look like a bad friend.
- I can imagine the shit talk that's going on.
- The way that she reacted, she was in shock.
- Was nuclear. Was nuclear.
Oh, here she comes. - Dolo in white.
- Oh!
- You look like a bride.
- Hi. Hi, love.
Hi, hi, hi. Mwah.
- Lying-- lying cunt right here.
- I'm coming because-- yeah. - Dolores--
- Lying cunt. - I've never seen you--
- Right here.
Your favorite lying cunt.
- Hi, sweetheart. - Hi, baby.
- I came because I know to see Bella
must have been very hard. - I know. That was hard.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I know.
- Killed me in my heart.
- I didn't cry, though. - Dolores?
- Yes? I just came to say hello.
- Thank you.
- When you called her a See You Next Tuesday,
I was like, what's happening?
She's going to the other side.
I didn't understand why you were so mad.
- I was mad because--
because she didn't ask me to go.
We remember things differently.
- We remember it differently.
- And I didn't like the way it was coming across.
- But I wasn't trying to make--
- I wasn't trying to make you look like a bad friend.
- Because I was like-- - Which I'm not.
- I didn't know what you said to them.
- I don't have to answer to them.
It was more like I felt like you were trying
to make me look like a liar.
- Yeah, but I wasn't trying-- - Which I wasn't.
- --to make you look like a liar.
- It wasn't a big deal whether I was invited to that or not.
It was more the principle of it for me.
- Because they thought that you weren't invited.
- It was never a conversation.
It's not like, oh, did you know about--
that was never even brought up.
I made a bigger deal about it than it was.
- Yeah. To me, it wasn't--
- I was like, why is she so mad?
I didn't get it. I was like--
- I was mad because--
- I thought it was 'cause you came just out of that meeting
with James Leonard and you were probably, like, feeling
some type of way from that.
- Oh, you came straight from there?
- Yeah. - That's what I thought.
- I was so worked up.
I mean, by that time of the season--
- Right. - It was-- we were--
- I think we were all at edge.
- I think we were all at edge, too.
- I think it was just--
- It was, like, such enough of everything for you, for you,
for all of us, that it was like, why is this so hard?
There was nothing left.
I mean, I was at the edge of my seat, you know?
- By the way, I never saw anything deescalate
that quickly. - Well, because--
- It went-- - --it was--
- It was great.
It was like it went from here-- - It was so--
it was-- - --to here.
- You know why?
Because they have a real friendship.
- Yeah. It was nothing that--
- That's not worth it.
It was I got angry because of the principle of it
more than-- like, I'm like, no, no.
- But it wasn't like I said--
- They could have cared-- first of all,
by the way, the other side doesn't care
about that meeting. No one brought it up.
No one ever cared.
That's-- no one thinks about that.
- Well, they threw it in our face like crazy.
- She talked about it four times on the show.
- Oh.
I haven't watched the show yet.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In the beginning, that's all she talked about.
- Yeah. They care.
They care. They care. - Oh.
- Yeah. They care.
They care. That's why-- - They care very much.
- Yeah, they care nonstop.
- They don't have much else.
- OK, maybe I'm wrong.
But anyway. - Dolores, that was classic.
[laughing]
- I like not knowing.
Ignorance is bliss.
- Ignorance is bliss; I say that all the time.
- How's Jackie Goldschneider doing in that room?
Fine? - She's doing OK.
All right, delusion is, like, a real thing, I guess.
- OK.
- Dolores, I might be sending you a screenshot.
- My phone is off. - OK.
Leave it on. Put it back on.
- Your phone on.
- Bye, D.
- Is anyone going down there? I'm not going down there.
- I don't know how you guys feel.
I'm in a good place. - Oh, me too.
- I feel like there's nothing else to be said.
- There's nothing to be said.
- Are you feeling like you want to go downstairs?
- Nope.
Thank you for asking.
- So you haven't spoken to Jen or Teresa?
Like, you just, like, left it in the air?
- When the social media stuff came out
and I started reading the shit in black and white,
at some point, it's like I have to believe
what I see in black and white.
And they disappointed me and they were upsetting
and they were too much.
- So you haven't spoken to either of them.
[upbeat music]
- I'm literally going to drop this whole fucking thing.
- Her hair looks like shit.
You cheap fuck.
- Hello.
- You let yourself right in.
I love it.
- It smells so nice in here.
- Oh, shut up, Satan.
- I wanted it not to smell like dog,
but I feel like it now smells like toxic pumpkin.
- Toxic pumpkin?
- [laughs]
- Should we sit?
I love a charcuterie board.
Wait, you have to fill me in.
I heard about this powwow. - Yeah.
So this has been something that Teresa's
been wanting to get off of her chest for a long time.
She had her lawyer, Jim, there.
And we were all sitting around.
Gia was also there. - That's weird.
- It's my-- oh, my God.
- What they were trying to tell us,
they have evidence that Margaret has been trying
to hurt Teresa and Louie.
Talking to the ex.
- They obsess over us.
We don't do that.
We don't obsess about them all day.
- No, because we have beautiful lives.
We have other things to focus on.
We have businesses and children
and husbands and families.
- Yeah.
And they're obsessing all day, all night.
They're having this meeting.
What are they going to say about me in some meeting?
What kind of stupidity is this?
- This woman was reaching out to all of us.
- That's so fucked up.
- Ugh. - Fucking disgrace.
Not just Louie's ex.
Anybody who was ever in his life
has sent DMs, emails, certified letters.
Facts.
Hell, I went to a restaurant down the shore,
and his niece walked up to me.
She was like--
- I remember that.
- --I am Louie's niece and I just want
to tell you to be very afraid.
- OK.
I'm going to let little Louie know that his cousin
said this about their father.
- So what are we doing here?
We're having a Last Supper?
- Mm-hmm, pretty much.
- Like, why would we go to dinner together?
- To get everything out that we need to get out.
- That's tonight.
Like, I have actually nothing to say,
other than, like--
I have nothing to say.
- Yeah, you've said it all.
- Coming up--
- Do you believe what he just said?
- I hope her son suffers? - I am horrified.
- My kids suffered. - That was wrong.
That's wrong.
[upbeat music]
- What's happening? [burps]
- Who burped? - You got to stop doing that.
- Guys, it feels good.
- You can't burp-shame someone.
- Can we have an espresso martini?
- No way.
Why?
- Let's play the episode.
- Push play. - Right.
[upbeat music]
- I got my coat for my Last Supper.
- You didn't buy it for them. You bought it for you.
Who are you kidding?
- Joe, I have to look fantastic.
- You always look fantastic.
- 'Cause some people, I'm never going to see again.
So let them remember how amazing I look.
- Where's the rest of your hair?
- I just don't know what's the vibe.
Like, what are we walking into?
- Lion's den.
- [laughs] Bill's so cute.
- What's your plan today to navigate around Margaret today?
How are you going to-- how do you plan on doing this?
- Like, I don't have a plan, babe.
I'm not a strategic person. [laughter]
- Tell her to stay away from our family.
And you know what?
I hope Margaret and her family suffer.
You know, I hope her fucking son suffers.
[tense music]
- Hold on. Hold on. - Can we pause it?
- I hope her son suffers?
- Like, I am horrified.
- You should be.
You have to be a special fucking human
to say shit like that.
- Louie is going to get a lot of shit for that, Teresa.
- For what?
- What he said about the son.
I hope her son suffers.
- I don't care.
Listen, my kids suffered.
My kids suffered. - It's OK.
- My stepson suffered.
My daughter suffered. - It's not--
- Because of what--
- No kids getting hurt is OK. - My kid suffered.
- But he shouldn't have-- you know,
in the heat of the moment, I understand he said that,
it's not going to be received well.
- If I could stand here and back
him up all the time, as I do--
- It's not going to be received well.
- I can't stand--
I cannot not say that that was wrong.
- No. - That's wrong.
- Dolores, please don't stick up for her in front of me,
because you don't know everything.
- I'm not sticking up for her. - I don't give a shit.
- I'm telling you, if I can get behind Louie
and every fucking thing that's said
about him a million times over, even
when it comes to my own son.
- Last we heard in season 12, Frankie was working with Louie.
What happened with that?
Did Frankie leave the company or what?
- Louie gave my son a job.
He was very happy working with him
and I'm very thankful for Louie.
- I won't say anything first. They gotta bring it up.
- I don't know what this rumor is,
and I don't want to talk about Frankie at all.
I can say, and I have to say for my own self--
- You know, just drop it. Because it's like--
- I'm dropping it. But I have to understand--
- I mean, he was-- he was-- he was upset.
- I know that. - People make mistakes.
- Yes. Yes.
- That's why-- - People make mistakes.
I know he did not mean to say that.
I'll make sure he says, you know, sorry.
- That was probably one of the lowest
lows I've ever seen said on--
on the "Housewives of New Jersey."
By the way, could you imagine--
- I'm just in shock that he would have said that.
Even if he thought it, that he would have said that.
- That's disgusting. - It's a different level--
- I have never-- - --to talk about the son.
- No.
I have never said anything bad, even to that level,
to wish anything ill on anybody's children.
And that's disgusting.
Everybody in this fucking room take note.
- But you know what happens to people
who wish harm on other people?
You know where the harm goes, right?
- Well, that's why they're--
- Your words are like a boomerang, baby.
They come right back. - That's disgusting.
- Yay, more.
- Play. - Assault, you know?
He would never-- - All right, let's continue.
- He would never want harm-- - Let's continue.
- He would never want-- - Let's continue.
[upbeat music]
* *
- Thank you so much.
* *
Thank you.
- Oh, we're back in the same room.
- I'm glad that we're in this room.
- I like this room. - Me too.
[tense music]
- I'm, like, sweating already.
I'm getting a little nervous.
Because I care about everybody like family,
I want them to get things off their chest civilly.
- Thank you.
- For some people, I wish they could go back in time.
- Let's be who we used to be and just
let bygones be bygones.
- Are you Italian?
- Half-Italian, half-Jewish.
And his family is, like--
[indistinct] Lou.
- That's how we are. - Exactly.
- Hi.
- Hello.
[dramatic music]
- Ugh.
- Skinny mini!
- Hungarian assassin vibes.
- Hi. - Hi.
- You look pretty. - Is there assigned seating?
- Yeah. Your name is right there.
You're across from Melissa. - Ugh.
What a cheap outfit she has on.
Seriously, I can't even take it.
- Look who's here.
- Hi, Jen-Jen. - Hello.
- Hi, honey.
- You look beautiful. - Hi.
- You're so sweet. - Just shut up.
- [laughs]
- So we're just waiting for Teresa?
- Yes.
[tense music]
- Her fake Chanel, let's just call that out.
- Oh, am I the last one?
- Yes. Hi, honey.
- Hi. How are you?
- Wow. Nice. - How are you doing?
- We all started happy.
- I don't want to sit across from her.
Can we-- I don't want to sit-- no,
because you're going to end up wearing that.
So I'm going to try to control myself.
- Grow up. - Oh, my God.
- Look at Margaret.
She don't like you.
- I know it's not easy to be here.
As a group, I know we're so divided.
And-- and the whole thing today is to be heard.
- Say how you feel.
Try to say it like a lady.
- The only time I'm going to step in
is when I think the point is made.
- Yes. Amen.
- Now, Jen and Danielle, you have the floor.
- I want to have a conversation where
I can actually verbalize instead of coming
at you with complete anger. - I would love that--
- Yes.
- --if you're capable of it.
- When you question somebody like me--
- Mm-hmm. - --look at yourself first.
For that charity event, my husband and I gave
$2,500 to make to $25,000.
I planned a beautiful meal for you.
That tip for $600 came out of my pocket.
All the private car services came to your house,
came out of the budget.
- Exactly. It came out of the budget.
- I went above and beyond--
- You didn't pay for that. - How do you know?
- You're hustling everybody for free because you
can't afford things.
I get it.
- Oh, my God.
- She's disgusting.
- You completely disappointed me as a friend.
- You treat people like shit. You--
- I feel so sorry for you.
- Listen, you want my life, I get it.
You get to my house, this is what I want.
- Nobody wants your life, you wack job.
- She says the same thing when she comes to my house.
I want this, too.
- Of course she does.
She wants everything we have.
- I know you cry alone at home.
- Oh, cry alone at home?
- Because you couldn't even touch what
I have with a ten-foot pole.
And that's all. - You're so irrelevant.
I'm laughing at you. You're a clown.
- Wow.
You know what?
I know I go home, my husband is waiting for me at the door.
- Your husband with the boobs, and you got the brawn, honey.
[glass shattering]
- Oh, my God. - You motherfucker!
- Cut it out!
- Ooh.
- You know what? I know I go home,
my husband is waiting for me at the door.
- Wonderful.
Your husband with the boobs, and you got the brawn, honey.
[glass shattering]
- Oh, my God.
- You motherfucker. - Cut it out!
- Cut it out? You're the queen of this shit.
- Fuck you. Fuck you. - You taught everybody.
- Fuck you. - Come on!
- Hot, hot temper, you've got, don't you?
- They learned from the best, white trash.
- Ooh, not the white trash.
- Not the white trash.
Well.
- That means she's calling her husband white trash.
- Whore. Whore.
- Aunt of the year. Aunt of the year.
- I'll let her know you think I'm a whore.
- Enough, enough,
the two of you. - That's right, baby.
- Are you fucking kidding me?
- I like being a whore.
- Everybody calm it down.
- Danielle, take a deep breath.
- Why?
- I think she should, yeah, get the fuck out.
Go ahead. - Yeah, man.
Don't make me go. - I'll go.
- LV, I promise you--
- You can't lunge at people.
You can't get violent like that.
- No. - I'm going to the bathroom.
- Danielle, don't go far. - No, she's not.
She's not. - Listen to me.
But I want to talk to you. Listen to me.
- Listen to me.
- She spoke about my husband.
Maybe you shouldn't have spoken about my husband, huh?
- Yeah. - You fucking dingbat.
I think the fucking extensions are bleeding into your brain.
- Why'd you do that?
- Don't-- Teresa-- - Teresa.
- Not the fucking time.
- Oh, she's yelling at you.
- Look what Margaret's fucking been doing.
- Stop. It's not about you right now.
- Margaret did to me. Oh, please.
Everything goes back to her.
- I'm just saying--
- It's not about you.
- She said, now it's not about you right now.
Oh, because it always has to be about you, Danielle.
- Fucking ridiculous.
I was so pissed. I was so pissed.
- Her husband got the man boobs.
- She's still fucking talking shit.
- Sorry. - Listen to me.
You're going to go to the bathroom,
you're going to dry your eyes.
- I'm going to go to the bathroom.
- Let's go. Come on.
- Oh, I thought I was the one crying, huh?
I thought I was the one crying at home.
- That's disgusting, what she did.
- And now you're fucking crying?
Good. Good.
- Here's the thing.
I think when we talk about husbands,
it's the most sensitive--
- Don't start none, won't be none, Melissa.
And then she's sitting there talking about me
crying alone at night at home. - Eh.
- She shouldn't have thrown anything.
- Thank you, Margaret.
- She shouldn't have thrown anything.
- Seriously.
- [muffled sobbing]
- I am.
- You're very, very there for your friend Danielle there.
- I shouldn't have.
- I'm just saying, I love to see that energy.
- Dude, she's fucking aggressive, yo.
I feel like back in the day, the cheerleader.
* She's aggressive, she is aggressive *
- What a fucking loser.
- OK, I'm going. I just to let you know.
- Dude, you're the fucking mediator.
- Because I don't want to say for this.
- Where are you going?
- I can't mediate this.
- Jenn Fessler's out.
- You guys have gotten used to this level of disgusting.
- Are you-- - I don't want to be around it.
It's fucking gross. - We do not like it.
- We love you. Thanks for organizing.
- No one thinks it's weird that Jenn's co-hosting a party?
- She has a right. - I do think it's a little odd.
- Yeah.
Jenn, that was a great move.
- Either you smash glass or you break bread.
They don't really go together, right?
Lunch is over.
I'll take the mozzarella to go.
- That's a good point, Jenn.
- I'm like, I just had a facelift.
I don't want glass to the face.
- Do you care if she stays or should I
tell her she has to go?
Do you feel comfortable with her here?
- I will give her permission to stay.
- OK. I'm good with that.
- She's digging her own grave.
So tell her I say welcome.
- OK.
- She don't fucking bother me none.
- Brush your hair, bitch.
- Is it just me?
What's happening? - Fucking funeral.
I dress for a party because I'm laughing at that fucking--
- I do not have black on, by the way.
- I didn't get the black memo that everyone is wearing black.
- That wasn't planned.
- I'm the whore.
So just let me sit here in my whoreness and my stripperness.
- She better fucking stay in her seat.
- Oh.
[laughs]
- Can I sit here?
- No, you have to sit over there.
- Why, Margaret?
All of a sudden, she's your friend.
- I don't want to see your ugly face or your ugly teeth.
- Why?
- She just said she can't handle it.
And I was like, this is your party.
- She can't.
- Her friend is the vile person.
- I know, the worst.
- I'm the worst.
- I understand you being furious,
but I'm sure you wish you hadn't gotten to that point
and jumped over the table.
- I regret--
- Of course. - --not killing her.
[dramatic music]
You and I are very different.
- It's not different.
I understand you being furious,
but the violent piece of it, I'm sure you regret.
- I don't like to be around that.
I mean, I know I took my frustration out on the table,
you know, but I would never physically harm someone,
you know?
- What's the big deal what you said anyway?
Like--
- Yeah, I know.
- So I'm going to explain to you why I got so worked up.
Prior to her saying that to me,
it was coming out in some of those bloggers about Nathan,
making fun of Nathan, making fun of his chest,
pointing arrows to it.
So when she said that to me in that instant, I was like,
it's you.
It was you that said that.
- Everything that blogger said is them.
- Yes.
- And I saw my husband and that's why I got upset.
- I don't blame her for getting upset over, like,
the comment over her husband.
I know that she loves me.
- No, I don't mind that.
- What I blame is that her response is to get violent.
- My response is always, like, a shady dig
that's going to insult you, because, bitch, I mic drop, OK?
And you don't. You?
You're a horrible person, OK?
And I, like, never want to be friends with her ever again.
- If anybody says anything mean about my family,
just like every other mother and every other wife,
I want you dead.
There-- it was a line, though.
I'm sure you look back at it now.
You could have used your words.
How's that? - You're right.
I will say-- - You're better than that.
You're better than that.
- I will say I will never let somebody get me like that
ever again. - I agree.
- Can't give somebody that power.
- It's hard when it's about your husband.
It is hard.
- Will I have self-control moving
forward in my life as a 39-year-old mother of two?
Yes. - Yes.
- OK. Let's--
- OK, move forward.
- Move forward.
- Coming up--
- How do you feel about what you just saw,
because you didn't even know what happened,
like the second half?
- I'm trying to process it.
- Looking at this, I definitely should have wore black.
- No. Maybe Teresa wants to say something to me.
I'll gladly listen.
- I really don't have anything to say to you.
I mean, you know exactly what you've been doing.
I have the facts. I go on facts.
- I go on facts also. - I go on--OK.
- So I'm going to give you the facts.
- OK. What are your facts?
- March of 2022, after you guys spoke to Laura,
was the first time I ever spoke to you, the end.
- Liar. - Just own it, Margaret.
Own it.
- She has people at her house the night before New York
and a smear campaign on my husband.
- A smear?
The smear campaign was against us.
There's no smear campaign.
- The smear campaign was on my husband.
Oh, shut-- she's--
- Margaret's so full of shit.
That was a takedown at Margaret's
that she had planned before reunion last year.
- Look at her. She's getting nervous.
You see her? - OK.
And I would have never been invited to that.
- That was not a-- was that a Louie takedown?
- It was not a Louie takedown, but we did discuss Louie.
- Of course, we did. - We did.
He hired a private investigator.
- How could you not?
- Your husband does a good enough job on himself.
- You're full of shit.
That's why you married the fucking plumber,
you disgusting pig.
- I love to fuck the plumber.
- And your father was a cobbler.
What's wrong with that? - What's a cobbler?
- Shoemaker.
- You're the one that's a liar and that
was trying to hurt my family by putting out
all these false accusations. - I put them out?
- Yes. - I put them out.
- Well, you got Rachel and John.
- I put them out? - You lied to them.
- About what?
- You said someone "told you" that
Louie contacted the-- your-- - Yes.
- It was proven that he did not contact--
- Did you ever think that maybe your husband isn't
forthcoming with you about the information,
things that he does?
- Yeah, OK. Rachel, shut up.
Your husband is not forthcoming about his past now.
- It's not your fucking place to talk
about my fucking husband.
- You talked about my husband.
- She just talked about your husband.
- I'm going to say it one fucking time!
- You brought up my husband.
- Keep my motherfucking husband's name--
- And you do the same.
- --out of your fat fucking hot dog-lipped mouth.
- [laughs] - Wait a minute.
I'm going to say it point-blank.
I want everybody to be quiet.
Let me finish and you tell me if this makes sense.
[tense music]
Right when the warrior video came out, right?
- Not the warrior video.
- Right before that, it came from you, right?
- No. - It came from you.
- No. - Yes.
- No. - Yes, it did come from you.
- No, it didn't. - She's fucking lying.
- What the fuck are you talking about?
- In 2021.
- Are you out of your fucking mind?
- See? She tried to lie first.
- No, I did not. - Yes, she did.
- Liar.
- Are you out of your fucking mind?
- 2021, before the warrior video came out.
- You're a liar.
You're a fake, and a phony, and a liar.
- Can we let her talk?
- Margaret, how do you know this information?
- She's the ringleader.
- I found out last week. (BLEEP), I called her.
- Margaret, you're trying to make this about me
when it's about you.
- I literally only found out last week
when I called the ex.
I said, please send me the timeline
and the screenshot of when you first spoke on the phone.
She did.
The exact date that she started speaking was February 25, 2021.
Jackie, proven liar.
She befriended her.
- I did not.
I did not.
- Such a fake.
- Admit that if it's true, because I'm sure there's proof.
- Yeah.
- Ahh!
I just spit.
- How embarrassing.
- That was way better than I remembered.
- You're a fucking snake.
- Get the fuck out of here.
- You're a little fucking snake.
- I did nothing with her.
- How embarrassing for both of them.
- Shut up.
- You're a fucking lawyer and you know how to do it all.
She leaked shit.
- I never leaked shit. - I know.
- This is before the warrior video came out.
- But I don't do anything.
What am I going to do with the video?
- She wanted to ruin Teresa.
That warrior video was out there.
- Oh, yeah.
These are my brothers.
- I don't know how it got out there.
You know, Teresa's like, Margaret, you put it out there.
How would I even get that fucking video?
- Why does she think it was you?
- I mean, if she had half a fucking brain,
she would have thought it was Jackie,
because Jackie hated her guts at the time.
- I mean, two things can be true at once.
I was talking to the ex, but she was also.
- But she said she only spoke to her after New York.
- Totally. - After?
- This last reunion.
- Oh, no, no, no.
Way, way, way, way, way before.
I had no place in that.
I stopped talking to her years ago.
And that's why I was like, anything that's happening now
has nothing to do with me.
- You're the one that got subpoenaed.
- You subpoenaed the wrong bitch.
[tense music]
I had nothing to do with it.
- And you didn't put it in the media?
- No.
Swear on my son's life.
- Yeah. You're-- you're an evil woman.
You'll swear on anything.
- What else have you put in the media, you little
fucking snake?
- You weren't speaking to all the bloggers, putting it out--
- Nope. Swear on my life.
I swear my life. Nope.
- Bloggers.
We have the proof that she was speaking to the bloggers.
- Oh, no. She was talking to bloggers.
Oh, yeah. - Exactly. There's proof.
The proof came out that she's talking to bloggers.
- Yes. - I want to hear that.
- Jackie just admitted something to you.
Are you OK with that?
- Yes, I'm fine with it.
Because she wasn't bringing it--
- Yeah, I'm fine with it, because I hurt you first.
- What a joke.
- I'm not surprised that Jackie talked to this person.
I get why she did it, because she thinks I was trying to
her with the Evan rumor, which I was-- swear on my kids
I was not trying to hurt her.
- I think she needs to process.
- Oh, she needs to process all right.
- I don't think she really-- no.
I don't think she--
I don't think she's heard.
- I wish I knew about Jackie before.
- Oh, stop it, Margaret. - You're pathetic.
- You're just trying to take the heat off of you.
- Right now, Jackie is sitting in that room with Teresa.
Teresa, you know I did that because you did that.
- Of course. Of course she is.
- We're good, me and you.
- Turns out, you're OK.
- You didn't know.
- Because I hurt her first.
- All right, good.
I think we've all said what we had to say.
- I think we have, too.
- OK. So can I go home now?
- Yes.
- Well, this has been absolutely lovely, ladies.
This was such a beautiful party.
- I would like to say, the two of you,
this is who you now allow in your circle.
- Oh, shut up. - Oh, really?
What about Margaret? You were at my house.
- Not on the level that you let this one in.
- Shut up.
We'll take her over you any day.
- Exactly.
- You didn't tell me that.
- Well, I didn't know until the last week.
- Holy-- - That's a major thing.
- I know.
- I think she's lying there, too.
I think they're all in on it.
- Oh, I believe that.
- I never ever had anything to do with her again.
- Oh, I had nothing to ever do with her again.
OK, sure.
- Holy shit.
- Jackie's shitting her pants right now.
She needs a fucking diaper in the car.
- [laughing]
- Today's meeting was a complete failure.
Pretty much everybody's walking out
the same way they walked in.
Zero resolution.
- No, I had resolution, because the truth came out.
I feel vindicated.
- Family is everything.
But this group is no longer a family.
[dramatic music]
* *
[train horn blares]
- Train has left the station. - The train, yes.
- Yeah. - Yep.
- And there goes the train.
- I look at this sit-down like a death.
[dramatic music]
* *
- And that's the end, folks.
- It is what it is. - It is what it is.
It's over.
It's done. - It's fine.
- And like, where do we go from here?
- Whew.
- I need to process it.
[tense music]
- And that's the end, folks.
- Whew.
- It's over. It's done.
- It's fine.
- And, like, where do we go from here?
- Looking at this, I definitely should have wore black.
That's--
- How do you feel, like, being close with Jackie,
hearing all that stuff? - Jackie had everything.
- I was like-- do you know what I'm saying?
- Honestly, like, that's not easy.
I mean, you guys, how would you feel?
Of course I'm not stupid. I'm not blind.
But I love Jackie. It's hard.
- I never took part in, like, leaking things to bloggers.
- That's her biggest gripe.
- I met with the ex in February of '21.
She sent me the warrior video after it was already
in someone else's hand.
Like, I had no part in leaking anything for her.
- So you think that the ex sent that video.
If she sent it to you-- - Yeah.
- --she probably sent it to other people.
- Yes.
- I'm just so glad you owned it, Jackie.
- But, like-- - I already knew.
I already knew.
Margaret, Melissa, and Jackie were talking to her.
- And regardless of speaking to her, I never
brought anything up on camera.
Like, I never aired it to the world.
I know that this ex reached out to everybody.
I know she was doing her thing regardless
of me, Margaret, anybody.
She was doing this.
She was doing it anyway.
But I feel bad of the role that I played.
- But she was-- like, she wouldn't have gotten anywhere
if no one gave her attention.
- Right. But I don't want my--
what I did and what Margaret did
to be confused with each other because mine
was to have something in my pocket,
if I needed it, for Evan.
When that was over, that was over, for me.
That was over. I stopped.
But, like, she was doing her thing.
You guys were friends. I'm not getting involved.
- Yeah.
- I don't want to be involved in that.
- What did you ever do to Margaret?
- Do I have any regrets? Not really.
I didn't really do anything wrong.
Did I do anything wrong? Can anyone say anything?
Did I do any bad behaviors this year?
- I have regrets.
But I will say that I did the best that I could.
This is a situation where you are required
to say what you think.
I don't think I could have done it differently
and still have been me.
- Like, you did what felt authentic to you.
That's what we're supposed to do.
- Yes, I did.
Except the purple eye shadow.
I didn't love that in my confessional.
- I kind of liked it. - Did you?
- Danielle, do you have any regrets?
- Yeah.
I regret having Jen in my home.
I have regret having Jen around my kids.
And I feel like I should have listened to everybody.
- I cannot move forward with anyone who doesn't want
to move forward with me. - Right.
- And with Danielle, there has been no apology for hitting me.
I mean, we need to, like, peel the onion here.
I just aired something in factuality that she
did and she hit me for it.
So fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
I will no longer attempt to even receive
what she has to say unless she has fucking full-blown remorse.
- I don't think I have any regrets.
I just wish that I would have, like, exposed
Louie for who he really was more,
because he really deserved it.
Unfortunately for me, like, I have morals,
and, like, that's really what holds me back, you know?
- That's the thing. That's what--
- And that's the difference between this room
and that room, is, like, we really do hold ourselves
to a higher standard. - We do.
- Like, I'm sorry. - I agree.
- People can only move on with people who take accountability
for their actions.
- Well, I feel like you can never evolve unless you
take accountability. - Right. Right.
- And you can't move past things.
- And people in that other side, nobody's
ever going to be able to move forward if you're
playing us for a fool.
Own your shit.
- I know that you and Melissa will never reconcile,
but do you think there's ever a road
forward for you and Margaret?
[tense music]
- If she, um, gets on her knees,
and begs me, and says sorry for what she's done.
It's been a hard four years.
Like, look how many people this woman's tried to destroy.
You know, it's been tough.
Louie and I, we've been through a lot.
But thank God we made it through.
It made us stronger.
- Melissa, how do you feel?
- It sucks.
- Well, there are certain relationships
that you can never mend. - It sucks.
But at the same time, I couldn't be happier
in a weird way-- - I know. I agree.
- --to, like, be over.
I feel relieved.
- It's just hard when it's played out
so publicly for so many years.
And it's gone so deep and so low
and it's gotten so toxic, not only
for you, but for everybody.
- No.
- There's a lot of memories, good and bad.
This has been a part of my life since 2010.
- It's a long time.
- There's just so many emotions when you watch it all.
But what I see there is done.
- The truth came out.
I feel vindicated.
None of us are perfect, you know?
- Why don't you just let it go?
Just bury it and just move on.
- Yeah, no.
I'm with the people that I belong with.
- Yes. - Yeah.
- My relationship with my husband's family
and my husband, we are-- it's over.
[somber music]
- You know, I mean, listen, I've been going through it
with my sister-in-law now for so many years.
- All right. Are you ready, guys?
- It's sad.
At the same time, I think it's time for things to change.
- Cheers. - Cheers it. Cheers.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- It's nothing that anyone should ever have
to-- to go through, honestly.
- Cheers to life, girlfriends. - Yes.
- Cheers to moving on.
- I think this finale was exactly
what it was, a final blow of good versus evil.
- I was really happy with who ended up in this room.
- Yeah. I'm happy, too.
- This is no longer a group of friends.
There's a division that can never be mended.
I mean, where things stand right now is where they're
pretty much going to stay.
- There's a lot of life to be had.
- Yes. - Cheers.
- Exactly.
- Considering I'm pregnant!
[all screaming]
- No! No!
Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
- Rachel!
[all screaming]
- I'm gonna be a millionaire.
- Thank you.
- Thank you guys. - Thanks.
- Oh, my God.
[all screaming]
- Oh, my God.
- That's a wrap.
- I hope not for fucking good.
- Thank you. - Thank you, Teresa.
- Love, love, love.
- So don't harass me to drink anymore.
- OK, fine.
- I have been finding myself...
Going through a creative phase.
So I always wanted to learn guitar.
I played "Amazing Grace" or something in the first episode.
And what I really wanted, what I've always really wanted to do
was write lyrics more than, like, play guitar.
I just, like, always wanted to be able to write a song.
So I have written a very, very silly
nothing little song about what's
been going on in the "RHONJ" world.
Keep your expectations low, please.
* After three long months of filming *
* Season 13 was no more *
* But they brought us back *
* In hopes we'd show some class *
* Down by the shore *
* So we started season 14 *
* But the group was not the same *
* Because, as Andy said *
* There's no way to sustain *
* Teams divided *
* Pick your side and *
* Close your eyes and pray *
* Friendships changing, some worth saving *
* Season 14 "RHONJ" *
* Started with the birthday party *
* I would not say it went well *
* Potshots turned to screenshots *
* At the housewarming from hell *
* Biscuits, lunch, bougie brunch, *
* Tulum-themed summer night *
* We should have charged admission to that fight *
* Teams divided *
* Pick your side and *
* Close your eyes and pray *
* Friendships changing, some worth saving *
* Season 14 "RHONJ" *
* Jackie beefs with Margaret *
* Jenny beefs with Danielle C *
* Dolo stays in Switzerland *
* While Rachel beefs with me *
* Teresa and Melissa *
* We know that ship has sailed *
* Which brings us to the bloodbath *
* That is Rails, whee *
* Teams divided *
* Pick your side and *
* Close your eyes and pray *
* Friendships changing *
* Some worth saving *
* Season 14 "RHONJ" *
* Pot-stirrer *
* That's what they call me *
* Flip-flopper *
* Also me *
* We're thirsty, we're dirty, we're deeply insecure *
* And we're hoping season 15 *
* Will occur *
- [clapping] Wonderful.
- Thank you. Thank you.
I'll show you on display. - Standing O.
