Margaret Josephs has once again proven that she’s the reigning queen of Bravo’s most biting commentary after taking a direct swipe at fellow Real Housewives star Teresa Giudice. The outspoken Real Housewives of New Jersey star didn’t hold back when criticizing Teresa’s fashion choices and her now-infamous lip-sync performance of the song Lives during their recent appearance in Australia.
The drama began when Margaret appeared on a podcast shortly after the tour and was asked about Teresa’s performance. While many fans might have expected a polite, diplomatic answer, Margaret delivered one of her trademark savage responses. “I don’t even know where to start,” she quipped. “The outfit? A disaster. The lip-sync? Even worse. Honestly, it was like watching a bad high school talent show – except this one came with designer heels and a hefty ticket price.”
Margaret didn’t stop there. She went on to describe Teresa’s outfit, a heavily sequined bodysuit paired with thigh-high boots, as “something left over from a 1980s aerobics video but somehow made worse.” She added, “I’m all for bold choices, but that wasn’t bold – that was just bad. It looked like she got dressed in the dark and stumbled onto stage.”
The most cutting remarks came when Margaret turned her attention to Teresa’s lip-syncing. “Look, I get it, not everyone’s a singer, but if you’re going to lip-sync, at least do it right,” she said. “Her timing was so off, I thought maybe there was a delay in the sound system. Then I realized – no, it’s just Teresa. She wasn’t even pretending to try!”
Fans of the show immediately took to social media to react to Margaret’s brutal honesty, with responses ranging from shock to applause. “Margaret is savage, but she’s not wrong,” one fan wrote on Twitter. “That performance was cringe from start to finish.” Another chimed in, “Say what you want about Margaret, but at least she’s honest. Teresa’s outfit and performance were a train wreck.”
However, not everyone was on Margaret’s side. Teresa’s loyal fanbase quickly came to her defense, accusing Margaret of being jealous and unnecessarily mean. “Why does Margaret always have to tear other women down?” one supporter wrote. “Teresa is out there living her best life, and Margaret just can’t stand it.”
As for Teresa, she has yet to publicly respond to Margaret’s comments, but sources close to the reality star say she’s furious about the remarks. “Teresa feels completely blindsided,” an insider revealed. “She thought Margaret would have her back, not tear her down in public like this. She’s hurt and angry.”
The insider also hinted that Teresa is planning to address the controversy in the upcoming season of Real Housewives of New Jersey. “Teresa isn’t the type to stay quiet,” they said. “She’s going to make sure Margaret knows exactly how she feels about those comments.”
Meanwhile, Margaret seems unfazed by the backlash and even doubled down on her remarks in an Instagram post. Sharing a photo from the podcast interview, she captioned it, “Sometimes the truth hurts – but it’s still the truth. #RealTalk #NoFilter.”
This isn’t the first time the two Housewives have clashed, and fans are already bracing themselves for what promises to be an explosive showdown on the next season of RHONJ. With Margaret’s sharp tongue and Teresa’s fiery temper, this feud is far from over.
As the drama continues to unfold, one thing is clear – when it comes to Bravo’s Housewives, the real entertainment often happens off the stage. Whether you’re Team Margaret or Team Teresa, there’s no denying that these two know how to keep the drama coming – and the fans watching.
