AceShowbiz - The ladies on"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" traveled to Tennessee in the Tuesday, April 12 episode. The travel quickly took a chaotic turn with frenemies Teresa Giudice and Margaret Joseph being involved in a "shocking" food fight.
It started after Teresa accused Margaret of trying to dig up dirt on her fiance Luis "Louie" Ruelas. In response to that, Margaret hit back by calling her co-star a "sick, disgusting liar." Upset, Teresa threw food and anything else in her reach across the dinner table and at Margaret.
In an interview following the episode, Jennifer Aydin broke down the drama and revealed what it was really like to witness the altercation. "It was shocking but it was not shocking because, as Margaret always says, know your audience, don't poke the bear, and this is Teresa Giudice we're talking about," Jennifer told E! News. "She flips some food, not a table this time."
According to Jennifer, "It was a buildup for Teresa and I think Margaret triggered her." She went on to say, "We've all been guilty of doing hostile or aggressive things in the heat of the moment." "I think we all remember Margaret throwing wine on Danielle [Staub], pushing Marty in the pool, pouring water over Danielle's head in a very aggressive and hostile manner. So, listen, it doesn't excuse it but I think we've all been guilty of it at one point or another," she continued.
"I feel that all Margaret needed to do was be like, 'OK you want me to stop talking about the love of your life and I need to respect that and own that,'" Jen added. "But because she wouldn't stop, even though Teresa kept asking her to stop, I feel that it was a buildup and it led to where we were in Nashville."
Following the shocking quarrel, Jennifer said, "There was no question in my mind I was gonna go after Teresa and defend her and see if she was OK, because leading up to that there were multiple group discussions where I was even telling Margaret, 'Listen, why don't you just acknowledge your part in it all?' "
"Sometimes it takes somebody to like give in and say uncle," she said. "Your friend who you claim to be friends with and you claim to care about keeps telling you to let it go and instead you keep rehashing things and bringing up things that really are just rumors. Margaret herself has acknowledged [that], so why don't you just listen to your friend and instead you call her a sick and disgusting liar. I mean what did you expect Teresa Giudice to do? Know your audience."
Jennifer additionally agreed with Teresa regarding her claims that Margaret tried to dig up dirt on Louie. "Teresa had some proof that Margaret was communicating with I don't know who to be exact," she opined. "But you're asking me if I believe it to be true: I don't know for a fact but I do believe it to be true, yes."
