Why Margaret Josephs thinks RHONJ castmates Melissa, Teresa should go to therapy | Virtual Reali-Tea

Obviously, there’s this potential reconciliation between Melissa and Teresa. Yeah. Yeah, there is. Teresa and Joe apparently met up already. And Teresa also complimented Melissa’s style on a Bravo panel. How are you processing all of this? I mean, listen, I always want a family to get back together as long as it’s genuine, right? I know Melissa and Joe are being very genuine. Um, I think that it’s playing out in the press is like not always the best. I think this is like a very long story with a lot of layers. I think it should be in a therapeutic situation and maybe keep it behind the scenes, right? Do do you know what I’m saying? I think that’s a lot better because we’ve all been down this road before and I’m just hoping that it’s a it’s a genuine thing. Oh, you look so good. I’m so excited for you. Congratulations. Let’s see it. Let’s see it. Oh my god. Are you kidding me? Was this everything you ever dreamed of? Is this exactly what you wanted? It’s exactly what I wanted. I wanted a big ring that I could feel on my hand. I mean, I like big things. I like big watches. So, I like men’s watches. So, I like big things. I do. I mean, who doesn’t like big things? Oh my god. You guys must be on class. This year has been insane for you. It’s so insane. I won traders, right? Was that last year? I think it was last. I think it was technically this year in March. Okay. So, yeah. I’ve been on Rhode Island Housewives coming up soon. You guys are going to love it. Oh my god. Uh, what else? Uh, what else happened? Frankie got engaged. Big engaged. I got engaged. Frank Katana got married. Crazy. This has been a wild year. I know. I almost want to go back to filming for a break at this point. I just want to grab Melissa’s ass for a minute cuz she’s an ass grabber. So, we grab each other. If you’re going to be a bridesmaid at her wedding. Um, I am going to be a bridesmaid. I think I deserve it just because, you know, and like this is Melissa. How excited were you for this? Um, so I knew it was happening, by the way. I didn’t I can’t believe it. I did tell you he told me at the Apple store. He did he tell you the whole plan? I didn’t know it was at the Apple store. I was looking on the phone. I’m like, where the hell are they? Where did he tell you? I’m finding this out for the first time now. When did he told me it was happening, but I didn’t know when or where. Oh my. Wait, how long ago did he tell you? Um, I I don’t know. Like a month a month ago. A month ago. He’s been thinking about this for a month. Uhhuh. Oh my god. That is it was going to happen maybe somewhere else. I knew all about it. Oh my god. Yes. Yes. So I was waiting. I was just waiting. I didn’t know. My family didn’t know. No one. But Melissa knew. Had a little knew. Oh my god. He didn’t even say it to me purposely. We were just kind of like discussing. She gets out of people. This one. I’m very trustworthy. She’s a digger. She’s a I’m trustworthy. Dolores. You know you are. And he had his trust in me. And you know, it was good cuz it didn’t get back to me in any way at all. See, there you go. I I didn’t rant. I didn’t tell. Well, now I think that means you have to plan her bachelorette. Um, well, who else would plan a bachelorette around here but me? Thank you very much. So, lick your cameras. Back off. No, we want that every day. Shame to Miss Dolores. Do you have an idea what you would do with my bachelorette? Did you do you have an idea what you would do for my bachelorette? I’m pl I’m the one for this. You know, I’m the one for this. I’m the party girl of the group. Listen, I don’t want to know about it. I just want to show up. Chanel has to be there. We’re traveling. Well, we just made up. Chanel and I just She apologized. She’s very sweet. And I told her whatever she like when my friends don’t get along. I want this. You know, she’s she’s meeting up with my best friend. So, now we’re all family. We have to wait. I don’t want it just for that reason. Oh, I’m kidding. Okay, good. She’s kidding. I’m also excited to see Teresa Melissa walk around cuz I know there’s no New Jersey news this weekend, but they are being so nice to each other. Oh, good. I’m happy to hear it. Yeah. How is that making you feel? Listen, whatever they do, they should do it for themselves and that’s the only reason they should do it. Life is short and uh as Caroline Manzo famously said many years ago, the fans are not going to come to our funerals. So, um you know, it’s you know, life is short. How are you feeling now that Teresa and her brother have had a moment? I’m happy for them. I’m really happy for them. I think everybody wants to sit back and make sure it lasts. You know, when a couple breaks up and they get back together and nobody wants to get involved until until they’re sure like, oh, they’re staying together this time, right? So, I think it’s very sincere. I think they missed each other as a family. I really believe it’s sincere. I don’t think I believe it to be true and I want it to stay that way. There’s no reason to fight like that. They’re not married couple. Teresa Judice, this has been the most insanely incredible Bravo Con for you. You and Joe have made up after your meeting with Melissa. Like, it’s just everyone is just buzzing about this. How are you feeling? You reunited. You took a picture at the Bravos last night. Like, I don’t I don’t even know what to say. Yeah. Are you guys happy? We’re so happy cuz, you know, we have loved you both so much. Like, all of you. And it’s been so hard for the fans to be like, we want them all to get along, but we know it’s not like on us to do because they have to decide to come to it when they’re ready to. And we’re just so happy it’s now. Yeah. I’m so happy to listen, you know, I think the break helped, you know, and you know, cuz time heals all wounds and you know, there’s a lot of things like I don’t know if you guys heard I was on special forces with Gia and then she was telling me to let the past go with her dad. And then when I was thinking about that, I was like, I want peace with my brother. And if I read correctly, you guys went to the mausoleum where your parents are to have this conversation. How impactful was that? And what made you guys decide to do it there? Well, it was me. I texted my brother and I was like, at first he wanted the four of us to meet and then I was just like I said yes first and then I was thinking about it. I was like I wanted to just speak to my brother cuz I you know I miss my brother. So and I just wanted us to speak first cuz I wanted him to see you know like that it was that like where I was coming from. It was real and genuine. But like of course it’s real and genuine cuz my brother knows me. Ask him. He says I’m very stubborn. Yes. So he knows like for me to do this like I wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t real. Like he knows that it it is, you know, meaningful and it’s something that I’ve always wanted. He he knows that. My brother my brother knows me too well. Yes. And so does Melissa. She know she’s been my in my life for 22 years. Yeah. How are things now? Did you get the recap from Joe about how the meeting went with Teresa? Um, yeah, we all sat down and it went really well. Yeah, it went really well. Sorry. I mean, it went it went really well. How would you How would you describe the feeling when you guys were sitting down? Was it Was it difficult? Was it hard? Was it exciting? It was when we were done, it was relief. It was just relief. It’s been a long time coming. It’s been dark for too long. It’s too much. And like eventually your children like how am I gonna tell my child not to fight with her brother when when she’s watching her dad do it, right? So we need to show them this is not this is not how life goes. This is not normal. No, it’s not. Look how close you are with your family. Exactly. Now, what about you and Melissa? Are you guys talking every day? Like how how’s the current dynamic with Melissa? No. Listen. Yeah, we’ve been texting each other. Okay. Yeah. No, we have. Yeah. Yeah. No, she just um she called me this morning. She’s so funny. She’s like, “You need to unblock me on Instagram.” And you did, obviously. Yeah. And I was like, “I don’t think I have you blocked.” And then she’s like And then I’m I’m looking. I had like almost 3,000 people blocked. I was like, “Oh, wow.” Okay. Yeah. I just hit block but you know if I don’t like some somebody some reason because it’s like I don’t want to even once in a blue moon if I you know I respond to one person just to respond to be funny but otherwise I hit block block. Yeah. No we were talking to Teresa I mean to Melissa. Oh yeah we are following each other on Instagram cuz you know she wanted to post pictures of us from Right. Right. So I said it to me and then I posted it too. So and I loved her caption. It said don’t question it just support it. What is your I didn’t see your caption. Yeah, it was it was really cute. I just said love love love you. Yeah, which was also that was a great caption also. But for the people who are questioning it, what’s your message to those who don’t think it’s genuine or think that you guys are doing it just to be back on the show together? Yeah, definitely not. I mean, ask my brother cuz he knows me so well. And I think Melissa, she’s been in my life for 22 years. She knows me really well, too. Um, well, my brother especially, he knows I hold grudges. So, if I let this go, it’s real. Like, it’s not, you know, it’s definitely And are you setting any boundaries moving forward about things you won’t discuss or will discuss or just any rules that you’re setting in place so that you guys don’t implode again? Yes. Listen, my brother knows me really well and I think Melissa does too. So, we’re both going to be careful and make sure like we respect each other, you know, cuz listen, you know, it’s because of everything that’s happened like trust has to be built again. Does this potential reconciliation? Well, I guess Teresa said she already talked to Joe and Theresa was complimenting Melissa’s style on a panel. So, it seems like things are headed in the right direction. Does this give fans should this give fans a glimmer of hope that the next season of Jersey could feature both sides of the cast? I don’t know. But you seem tired. You seem so tired of it. No. Oh, of that. Yeah. I mean, let’s see what happens. Yeah, I know. How happy are you that Jennifer Aiden announced her departure? Um, it’s like I just said before, it’s not an airport. We didn’t need to know that she was departing the runway. Uh, no one is shocked. Yeah. Yeah. I think we all saw that coming, right? Yeah. I mean, not not shocking. We’re going to be tuning into her new podcast. TV Gold. TV Gold. TV Gold. Listen, I give her credit. Okay. That’s right. To have a big ego and you know, that’s very impressive. I’m obsessed. You know, and that’s right. And I’m kind of curious with cameras down and you guys having some time to like focus on yourselves and heal. Has Jackie reached out to you at all? You know, Jackie hasn’t reached out, but we’re cordial when I see her. I’m very cordial. Okay. I’m always cordial. That’s good. Yes. Wow. Time really does heal all. Yes. You know what I mean? Listen, I Well, I would say time heals all. Some I say timing is convenient. Okay, there you go. But you know what? I can I can be in a room with anybody. Certain people. Well, not anybody, but almost anybody. Cuz the holidays are coming up. What is the likelihood of a joint holiday situation? Listen, I don’t know. We’ll see what happens. I could see maybe a dinner of some sort. We’ll see what happens. You know, we haven’t got We haven’t gotten We’re not talking holidays just yet. Sprinkle cookies to bring them. Yeah. But wait. Oh my god. Wait, has she tried the sprinkle cookies yet? No, we have. Did you you didn’t bring them to the meeting? No, we have not gotten that far yet. Why not? Let’s start from the beginning. Let’s start over and forget all the rest in between. Bring the sprinkle one. Let’s start all over. Wait, you know what’s funny? That would literally be starting from fight number one. Wait, you got to do it. You got to do it. That’d be so good. Pregnant with Joey. Okay, that’s I know that. I remember. I was around for this with the children in the family. Does this mean that we could have holidays all together with the gorgas and the I mean, listen, the when I first met Louie, we had like we they were came over my house for Christmas Eve. Well, look at that. Are we excited to maybe try Melissa’s sprinkle cookies at the holidays? I will try them. Okay. All right. Good to good to know. And she put And she put almond paste in them. And almond paste usually goes in pioli cookies. She Wait, she was doing it for you. I guess she You know what I mean? She knew. Are any of the Rhode Island ladies sneaking around here that we don’t know about yet? No, they weren’t allowed to come. Oh, really? I want to see them. I heard they’re so pretty. They’re so pretty. And the one girl, her name starts with Anel. You’re going to love her so much. That’s my friend there. She’s solid. Okay. But some are not that solid. Do you have some How’s How’s the rest of the cast? They’re wild, you know. They are they’re they’re unapologetically themselves, right? Um they didn’t try to be anything else. They didn’t try to act like other housewives and they were very open and honest about their lives. Okay. Well, we love transparency. Jersey Dolores. I know.
