How are we feeling about Margaret Jospehs after this season? She’s been on Real Housewives of New Jersey for 5 seasons now, leaving plenty of time to make a mark. I think this season, she really dug in her heels and went all in. We know that throwing Jennifer Aydin under the bus by revealing her husband’s 10 year old affair was a risk. It made her look cruel and unfeeling. But Jen isn’t exactly a fan favorite and the two have been going at it forever. So Marge took her chance to get back at Jennifer for all the past slut shaming and point out how Jen’s life isn’t as perfect as she makes it out to be.
But Marge’s biggest gamble was standing up to Teresa Giudice when no one else would. Tre’s new relationship with Luis “Louie” Ruelas was on everyone’s mind. But only Marge was the one willing to tell Teresa that she might want to pump the breaks. Which we all know didn’t work out at all. The Nashville Nightmare may be something these former friends don’t come back from. Especially because Margaret is now claiming that the cast made a pact that nothing physical would go down. And Tre broke it.
As reported by Reality Blurb, Margaret spilled the details on an episode of the podcast Behind The Velvet Rope. Margaret revealed, “Everyone says, Margaret, you poured water, you poured wine [but] we agreed after the ponytail pull as a collective group, that [Teresa] had orchestrated, that we’re not going to behave this way anymore. And that we’re going to use our words. And you know, since that incident, last year, we didn’t have any physical altercations.”
Margaret continued, “It does not validate what [Teresa] did to me. It just doesn’t. I am sorry. It just doesn’t. I mean, if she threw a drink at me, I’d get wet. It wasn’t that. She threw an entire table of food and she cleared the table. Glass could have broken. And what would happen if my face got cut? Anything could have happened.”
But fans, and Marge’s castmates, think Marge is being hypocritical about the physical behavior. Jennifer has openly criticized her about her past and said, “I remember Margaret pouring wine over Danielle [Staub] and pouring water over her and throwing Marty [Caffrey]in the pool. So I think we’ve all been guilty of it.” She added, “I mean, the whole season, Teresa just kept trying to say, ‘I don’t want you to talk about these things.’ And nobody wanted to respect that.”
TELL US – IS MARGE’S PAST BEHAVIOR ANY DIFFERENT THAN TERESA’S? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE CAST HAD A PACT TO KEEP THINGS NON VIOLENT? ARE YOU TEAM MARGE OR TEAM TRE?
