VIDEO: Margaret Josephs Shares Real Reason She Spoke With Luis’ Ex as Dolores Confronts Her Over Teresa’s Allegation in RHONJ Finale Sneak Peek

Dolores Catania confronted Margaret Josephs over Teresa Giudice’s allegation that Margaret communicated with her husband Luis Ruelas’ ex Vanessa Reiser – who at the time had a temporary restraining order against him – to dig up negative information to use against him. Margaret also shared why she DMed the ex as Dolores reacted.

Back in 2021, Margaret adamantly denied that she ever spoke with Luis’ exes, though Teresa consistently hinted that Margaret was hiding something. At the time, certain things about Luis were mysteriously surfacing online. In the latest episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa’s lawyer shared that court findings proved that Margaret was in communication with the ex in 2021.

In a preview of the season finale, Dolores confronted Margaret about the allegation that she communicated with Luis’ ex in 2021.

“I didn’t even know who she was at that point,” insisted Margaret, via @JaysRealityBlog on X. “The first year [Teresa] was with Luis — and all that stuff [had come] out — [I] never had spoken to her. Never spoke to her before New York. Never. Never once. When [Teresa] was accusing me of all that stuff, never once.”

But Margaret admitted that she’s “spoken to her since then,” via DMs, on multiple occasions. Margaret claimed, however, that they “never” discussed “putting out stuff” about Luis.

“Margaret, I don’t know why you would talk to her,” Dolores responded. “Just the caliber of person that she is.”

While Margaret insisted she’s “never met her in person,” she said she’s “seen her at events and stuff.”

“But why would you even speak to her?” asked Dolores. “To what? To validate something?”

“Yeah, [she] validated all the Bo Dietl s**t,” Margaret answered, referring to her past allegation that Luis hired a P.I. to investigate her and other cast members. “She was like, ‘I’d be worried if I were you.’ After everything that happened, what they did to my son, absolutely validated it all.”

At this point, Margaret was alluding to another accusation: that Luis called her son while he was working, allegedly to get info about her.

But in a confessional, Dolores questioned Margaret’s narrative.

“Why would the ex know what Luis was doing if they’re not even allowed to speak to each other?” she asked.

Back in the scene, Dolores asked if the ex told her that Luis had Margaret investigated.

“No, she just told me what had happened to her,” said Margaret. “Listen, Dolores. You know, I’m not gonna go back and forth about it.”
