‘RHONJ’ recap: Teresa Giudice unleashes on ‘whore’ Margaret Josephs

Reality TV

Teresa Giudice dubbed Margaret Josephs a “whore” during an explosive argument on Tuesday’s second part of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” reunion.

“F–k you, whore!” Giudice screamed across the couch after Josephs called Luis “Louie” Ruelas a “f–king sham of a face.”

She had also accused him of “belittling” Giudice throughout the current “RHONJ” season.

“You’re gaslit every single day, he [Ruelas] belittled you, he makes you look like an a–hole, he belittles the s–t out of you, the world has seen it,” she explained.

Giudice, 51, immediately denied that Ruelas, 48, has ever “belittled” her.

“You’re gonna see him, he’s gonna be standing right here, and you’re gonna be looking right in his eyes,” Giudice threatened, referring to the moment the husbands join their wives on stage.

Josephs, 56, appeared unphased and said she was ready to look in both of their eyes.

She even went as far as referring to Giudice as a “scammy bulls–tter” and a “criminal” — referring to her 2013 fraud indictment and subsequent 11-month prison stay.

“You’re a devil, you’re disgusting,” Giudice shot back.

Host Andy Cohen stepped in and encouraged the women to stop the fight but Giudice went on to call Josephs an “old hag Nancy.”

“OK, well, you’re both acting like a–holes,” Cohen, 54, said, to which Giudice argued that Josephs “started it.”

Before that, Josephs had claimed that Ruelas called and “threatened” her son.

“My child was called and threatened at work … by Louie, and we have the phone records,” she said while getting out a piece of paper that allegedly showed Ruelas’ phone number on a call log.

Josephs further insisted to Giuduce — who shook her head in disbelief — that it was allegedly “true and everybody knows.”

“He [Josephs’ son] was called by name, threatened [by Ruelas], ‘I’m the guy you’ve gotta worry about,’” Josephs claimed he told her son. “It’s a very high-level place, no blocked calls will come in, no one would even know where the office is.”

Josephs handed the paper to Cohen as he confirmed with Giudice that the number on the phone record did indeed belong to her husband.

“This is their phone number, my child would have no idea who this person is, it happened last week, April 13, that’s his phone number,” Josephs said as Cohen read the receipt.

Giudice denied that it was her husband and claimed that it was part of a “spoofing” hack where a spam call will show on someone’s phone as a number from their contacts.

“It’s true, I’m sorry the police know it’s true,” Josephs said while Giudice sarcastically nodded. “The phone records have been pulled.”

In fact, Giudice accused Josephs of making up her allegations for a “storyline.” However, Josephs denied that she had lied and turned to co-star Dolores Catania for support.

“You know this is true,” Josephs told Catania, 52. “When it happened the day I called you, what a mess was I?”

Catania confirmed Josephs had called her after it happened. However, she insinuated she didn’t want to get in the middle of her close friends, saying, “I want nothing to do with this at all.”

The intense episode ended with Ruelas and the other “Housewives’” husbands coming on stage. The third and final reunion episode airs Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
