“Melissa lied and stated they had been newer however there was a timestamp on them from two years previous to my making up with Teresa,” Jacqueline continued. “I’m like, ‘What’s your level? Why are you mentioning a textual content after we didn’t like one another? You’ve texts like that to me too.’”

Did you neglect you had been texting and calling me?’ I believe she didn’t understand I’m the kind of individual to avoid wasting my textual content messages so I began sending her textual content messages the place she was speaking about Teresa, [Dolores Catania], and no matter, and her saying she was calling me and all these things. And her response was like, ‘Go away me alone.’ [So] I simply left her alone cuz I don’t care. No matter she was making an attempt to do didn’t work.”

I believe they must rehire a wholly new forged.”
As producers reportedly put the collection on maintain till 2025, Jacqueline hopes Bravo realizes that Teresa deserves the title of longest-standing RHONJ housewife
“I believe she’s earned it. No person else deserves that thought, particularly not Melissa, together with her stale storylines,” Jacqueline said. “I don’t assume she deserves that title over Teresa. The present is centered round Teresa because the starting, she’s all the time been the face of the present. She’s the community’s moneymaker. There’ll by no means be anybody else like Teresa. She’s one in all a sort. She’s all the time energetic in her life, so she all the time brings new, genuine storylines to each season. She’s unpredictable, she’s reactive, and she or he reveals many elements of her character and her struggles.”
After praising Teresa for all that she’s given to the present over time, Jacqueline stated she’d prefer to see some new faces on season 15.

I believe Dolores is an effective narrator and provides us good perception into the internal workings of the group and she or he has this skill to stay impartial so I believe she’s good for the present a minimum of in some capability, the place perhaps her storyline isn’t as robust however the way in which she will navigate the group and inform how the group thinks I believe retains her robust. And he or she’s very likable … after which perhaps a sidebar the place Kathy and [Rosie Pierri] are available in to reconnect with Teresa. That is perhaps enjoyable to see.”
Of Teresa’s potential reconciliation with Kathy, Jacqueline stated it was one thing she’d prefer to see earlier than explaining Teresa’s hesitancy.
“I believe it’s actually onerous for Teresa to recover from her approaching the present and I believe she will get offended by the way in which — [Richie Wakile]’s humorousness, he likes to poke and take jabs, and I believe she will get offended by it,” she famous. “She stated she would say ‘hi there’ to her so perhaps that’s step one.”
“Kathy to me is far more honest and she or he actually didn’t go on the present to go after Teresa. I didn’t get that vibe from her. I believe she reacted out of frustration to a number of the issues that may go on between them,” she continued.
As for Melissa’s position in Teresa’s falling out with Kathy, Jacqueline stated Melissa was “completely” in Kathy’s ear.
