The Real Housewives of New Jersey have a history of shifting alliances. The biggest of them all, perhaps, was the relationship between Kim “D.” DePaola and Teresa Giudice.
A controversial figure, Kim has exposed the secrets of many Jersey ‘Housewives.’ In the past, her targets were Teresa’s enemies. But the tables were turned, figuratively speaking, when Kim revealed that Teresa was colluding against sister-in-law Melissa Gorga.
Now, Kim D. is spilling secrets about the current cast of RHONJ. In an interview for the Behind the Velvet Rope With David Yontef podcast, Kim shared that Teresa’s wedding will be in August and “Dina Manzo is the maid of honor.”
Additionally, there is “no question” that Luis’ sisters will be “in the wedding.”
Joe and Melissa will get an invite, “because Teresa has to show face,” Kim explained. “She has to invite them. Trust me. If she didn’t have to, they wouldn’t be. I know it.”
The podcast host asked Kim if Dolores Catania fears Teresa. “Dolores is probably afraid for her job,” she answered. “Cause when you really go against Teresa, look what happened to Jacqueline … Look what happened to Kathy [Wakile], Rosie [Pierri] … Margaret [Josephs’] holding up the show because she’s the only one that got balls enough to go with Teresa and say, listen, we’re, we hear what you’re saying.”
Kim then addressed Teresa directly: “You just act like an animal,” she said. “You’re violent … So I give kudos to Margaret, man. She’s telling it like it is.”
In Kim’s opinion, Margaret only discussed “what everyone knows about Luis [Ruelas] … But God forbid you talk about Luis. Too f*****g bad. Who are you, Teresa Giudice, to say somebody can’t talk about some guy you’re seeing?”
Speaking of love interests, Kim revealed that Dolores’ new man (Paul Connell) will likely be on the show. “I think next year, next year she’ll have [him on], cause I think this Paul guy would probably film with her. It seems like he’s more personable. And you know, he seems like he loves being with her. They’re together twenty-four seven.”
According to Kim, Paul is “in his fifties,” and “he’s crazy about [Dolores] … Not who she is on the show. Not what she has … I think he just loves being with her. She’s laughing a lot more. She’s happier. Yeah. I see a different Dolores … And she trusts this guy.”
Viewers are eager to pull back the curtain on Dolores’ new romance. Season 13, of course, is far in the future. Perhaps in the meantime, her ex-husband Frank will keep spilling the tea.
