Margaret Josephs has some thoughts about the big family reconciliation on Real Housewives of New Jersey. The tensions between Teresa Giudice, Joe Gorga, and Melissa Gorga have existed for years. So, their recent come-to-Jesus peace treaty feels a bit “calculated.”
Nevertheless, Marge hopes that she’s wrong here. Because it’s past time for these families to sort out their issues. After all, their feud has kept RHONJ on an extended pause since 2024.
Margaret Josephs thinks RHONJ focusing on family fights “is not really fun anymore”
Since filming is still dark, leaving her fewer opportunities to send her costars a bouquet of funeral flowers, Margaret has some time on her hands. So she recently appeared as a guest on Newsweek’s Parting Shot Podcast. She addressed the decades-long feud between the Gorga and Giudice families. And as she noted, this storyline has clearly run its course on RHONJ.
Thankfully, these families recently made peace. They even attended BravoCon together, where they all happily posed for shots on various red carpets. Even still, this series remains on a deep pause. “I don’t know when it’s coming back,” Margaret admitted.
She continued, “The only thing that I was trepidatious about was that [their peace treaty happened] in a very public forum. It was happening right before we were supposed to [return] to filming. Rumors were swirling. And not just to me, but to many people, [their reconciliation] came across as calculated.”
“I think to focus on families that are fighting is not really fun anymore,” Margaret correctly clocked. So, “I hope that’s happening [the reconciliation], I wanted it to stick, I want them to be good. I want this to be buried.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock.
