Teresa Giudice is looking back at her Nashville fight with Margaret Josephs.
Following the latest episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, which featured the fallout from the ladies’ heated dinner encounter, which included Teresa throwing drinks at Marge and calling her white trash, Teresa is slamming her co-star for continuing to poke her.
““I didn’t want to get to that point with Margaret, I really didn’t,” Teresa admitted on the April 19 episode of the RHONJ: After Show.
But, as Teresa pointed out, she felt incredibly protective over her fiancé Luis Ruelas.
“I really love Luis more than anything in this world. And no one is f-cking with Luis, and Margaret sure is not going to, and she, you know, I just had enough of her sh-t,” Teresa recalled. “I’ve never done that before. I’ve only flipped a table once on Danielle, and now I did this to Margaret. And, of course, it’s always people that are poking the bear. Margaret poked the bear. I had enough.”
According to Teresa, Margaret exhibited some bad behavior of her own when she threw Danielle Staub‘s now-ex-husband, Marty Caffrey, into Jennifer Aydin‘s pool amid RHONJ season nine, which she claims jeopardized his life.
“What about her behavior? Throwing Marty into the pool — that’s not good behavior,” Teresa stated. “God forbid the guy would’ve cracked his head open in Jennifer’s pool. I thought about that. I was furious when she did that because I was like, ‘God forbid… She would have pushed him in the pool and he would’ve slipped the wrong way…’ He’s an older man… So her behavior is not good either!”
“She doesn’t think about the collateral damage. She thinks about her selfish behavior,” Jennifer replied.
While Teresa has certainly exhibited a number of aggressive moments on the show, Jennifer said she believes that Luis has been a “positive influence” on her and said his presence causes Teresa to “control [her] temper a lot more.”
“I think he’s a big part of also calming her down at certain times if he can, but there’s a level that she gets to that she doesn’t,” Dolores clarified, noting that each and every cast member on the show has reached their “breaking points” at one time or another.
After speaking to Teresa about her fight with Marge on the show, Dolores said she learned her castmate was regretful about the outburst.
“I know that she doesn’t like getting that way and who does? And she’s agreeing with me. She does, she goes, ‘I’m so embarrassed. I don’t want to get like that I don’t want to act like that. I wish that I didn’t do that,’” Dolores recalled.
