‘RHONJ’ recap: Teresa body-shames Margaret during another dinner fight

Reality TV

Teresa Giudice took another nasty dig at Margaret Josephs – this time telling her straight to her face that she eats too much.

The reality star body-shamed her co-star during Tuesday’s episode of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” saying, “I didn’t eat dinner last night. I know Margaret did.”

Giudice added, “She always eats dinner.”

The gathering marked the first time the ladies were together again following their bombshell dinner fight that aired last week.

At the time, Josephs, 55, called Giudice, 49, a “sick disgusting liar” – which prompted the cookbook author to hurl dinnerware and drinks at her co-star.

Giudice attempted to apologize for her actions during Tuesday’s new episode, claiming that’s not how she “normally” acts.

She argued that she was just trying to defend fiancé Luis “Louie” Ruelas against gossip and amid allegations that he’s sex-obsessed and physically violent.

“Was that an apology? She said I provoked it,” Josephs said under her breath in the new episode, calling Giudice an “asshole” who needs to “own [her] own behavior.”

The conversation then turned to Josephs being on the receiving end of Giudice’s latest table flip.

“I wore everyone’s dinner,” Josephs joked, before Giudice weighed in with her body-shaming remark.

Josephs’ close friend Jackie Goldschneider – who has candidly discussed her anorexia journey throughout the season and only recently got “out of the danger zone” – later said in a confessional that it’s not cool for Giudice to be “body-shaming Margaret” again.

Goldschneider, 45, told Giudice to cut it out, but Giudice only doubled down: “She makes sure she always eats. … She does, she does!”

“I don’t love the way you treat my friend,” Goldschneider replied, to which Giudice snapped back with, “I don’t think your friend is a good person, she needs to apologize to me.”

Giudice’s remarks about Josephs’ eating habits marked the second time she’s body-shamed her frenemy.

During a charity softball game in an earlier episode, Giudice wanted the ladies to wear her line of leggings, but Josephs declined amid their feud.

“If she had my leggings on, her ass wouldn’t jiggle so much,” Giudice said while Josephs was up to bat.

In an interview with Page Six earlier this month, Josephs said she thought it was “very inappropriate” for to Giudice to make a remark like that.

“Especially when you’re promoting your athletic line, which is all inclusive,” she argued. “Not the swiftest move, but am I shocked? No. She hits below the belt.”

“The Real Housewives of New Jersey” Season 12 finale airs next Tuesday, April 26, at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. Dates for the reunion have not been released.
