Jackie Goldschneider claims that her ex-BFF Margaret Josephs asked her and Jenn Fessler to quit “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” if Teresa Giudice’s husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, came back for Season 14. “Margaret wanted, if Louie was coming back to the show, she didn’t want me and Jenn Fessler to come back to the show,” Goldschneider, 47, recalls in an interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast . “She wanted to leave and she wanted all of us to leave together.
” The “Weight of Beautiful” author remembers her and Josephs’ mutual pal Fessler, 53, agreeing to such a plan — which the latter confirmed in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight . “What happened was — and I think the first episode, maybe you saw me saying to Margaret, ‘I told you that if you don’t want to be around these people again, neither will I ..
.,’” Fessler told the outlet. “And what I meant by that was, if you’re not gonna go back and do the show again, then I’m not going back and do the show again.
” However, Goldschneider wasn’t down with the alleged request. “Jenn Fessler said, ‘OK, I will do that for you.’ And I said, ‘I will not do that for you.
I love you, but I’m not leaving my job because you don’t like somebody,’” she says, surmising that this exchange was the catalyst for the demise of her friendship with Josephs, 57. “I think that started everything.” Ultimately, Ruelas, 49, returned to the show alongsid.
