Jackie Goldschneider Says She’s Grateful for 'New Friendships' amid Falling Out with Margaret Josephs
"Jackie and I are not where we used to be in life... which is sad," Margaret Josephs shared of the pair’s once-close friendship
Jackie Goldschneider and Margaret Josephs aren’t ready to mend fences after their recent fallout.
During the "In a Jersey State of Mind: Part 2" panel at BravoCon 2023, Goldschneider, 47, shared that she was “very grateful for my new friendships” while on the outs with her Real Housewives of New Jersey costar, adding, “I’ve had a great time and I appreciate all the love.”
Her costar Dolores Catania shared that the cast was “surprised at the Jackie situation.”
“I was. I think everybody was. They’re not in the same place they used to be, Jackie and Margaret,” Catania, 52, explained. “But I’m happy she’s here and I’m in a good place with Jackie. That’s all that matters to me.”

During the first part of the RHONJ panel, Josephs, 56, opened up about falling out with her former friend, saying, “Jackie and I are not where we used to be in life, we’re not where we used to be, which is sad."
"She informed me that we were not as close as we used to be. I think I took offense to that and things went a little south," Josephs continued, later adding, "She has a nice case of amnesia."
RHONJ star Melissa Gorga also weighed in, saying, "I love Jackie, we've been friends forever, but a lot of things came out of left field... It's confusing for me. I don't know how authentic she's being about her new decisions in life. Everyone needs to remember who their friends are when they're down, not just when they're standing back up."
However, Goldschneider clarified she had no issues recalling the events that transpired between her and Josephs.
“I remember everything very clearly and I think that clarity is why I’m there and not with Margaret,” she said.
The reality star went on to explain that she didn’t request to be on a different panel from Josephs. "Friendships evolve but again, that was a switch made by the higher-ups," she said. "It wasn’t only about me, someone was switched with me. But I am very happy to be here. I belong here.”
Goldschneider’s panel also featured Catania, Jennifer Aydin, Bill Aydin, Paulie Connell, Teresa Giudice and Louie Ruelas while Josephs’ panel included Danielle Cabral, Nate Cabral, Joe Benigno, Frank Catania, Jennifer Fessler, Rachel Fuda, John Fuda, Melissa Gorga and Joe Gorga.

As recently as July, the pair’s friendship appeared to be going strong with Josephs sharing an Instagram photo of her, Goldschneider and their husbands, which she captioned, “A good time called and we answered 💃🎉❤️❤️💋👧🏼 #friendsforever”
