Drama on Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ) just reached new heights when Jackie Goldschneider did not restrain Dolores Catania for her controversial statements. Dolores likened the show to a “sink Titanic,” causing Jackie — and many fans — to not let go of her bubble and strongly respond.
“Dolores seems to forget how many years she has been on this ‘Titanic’,” Jackie said in a pointed interview. “If she thinks the show is sinking, why doesn’t she just jump off the ship? We don’t need people like that.”
Dolores’ words, which hinted that RHONJ was losing its appeal and was no longer able to “remain afloat,” have caused a stir among fans. While some viewers agreed that the show was rehashing old drama, the majority of fans felt that Dolores was just trying to get attention to create her own drama.
Jackie, who has always been proud of what RHONJ has achieved, continued to criticize Dolores: “RHONJ is an integral part of Real Housewives, and we still attract millions of viewers every season. If Dolores feels so negative about the show, then maybe she should check herself before speaking out.”
Jackie’s comments immediately created a social media firestorm. Some fans sided with her, saying that Dolores was being disrespectful to the show and her co-stars. “Dolores is like putting down the people who raised her. If she feels the show is ‘sinking’ then she’s part of the problem,” one fan concluded.
However, others believe that Jackie is overreacting and trying to heighten the drama to find her own place on the show. “Jackie is just trying to find a way to keep herself in the spotlight. Dolores has a right to speak her mind, and that doesn’t mean she hates the show,” one commenter countered.
Will the war of words between Jackie Goldschneider and Dolores Catania set RHONJ on a more dramatic course than ever? Or is this just the beginning of a never-ending war between the two stars? One thing is for sure: with dangerous statements like this, RHONJ is not headed for a sinking Titanic – it’s a dramatic battlefield!
