Jacqueline Laurita was one of The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s original stars, so we think it’s fair to say she was around during Teresa Giudice’s feud with her brother Joe Gorga in the early years.
While the show has deviated considerably from what it was when Jacqueline was on, the siblings’ feud is more prevalent than ever.
With the Bravo hit awaiting word on its future and a shake-up likely, Jacqueline appeared on the All About The Real Housewives podcast to, in Bethenny Frankel’s words, “mention it all.”
Jacqueline was asked about her thoughts on Teresa and Joe’s current issues and where their relationship went wrong.
She believed it was apparent watching the show back that Joe “was throwing his sister under the bus every chance possible.”
Jacqueline felt that Joe should have “stayed out” of Teresa’s feud with Melissa Gorga and talked to Melissa about the drama away from the cameras.
However, Jacqueline added that Joe would “join in talking about Teresa” on-screen.
Joe and Teresa are still at odds
Teresa and Joe have still not repaired their issues, but Jacqueline believes that Teresa genuinely wanted to conceal the family feud from viewers.
She uses Melissa and Joe’s first day of filming as an example, saying that Teresa didn’t want to “expose” their animosity on camera, but Joe called out his sister first.
