Jackie Goldschneider statement Dolores Catania not invited Theresa Judge and Luis Ruelas‘ engagement party as they engaged in a “battle” on camera.
Following Tuesday night’s episode of Real Housewives of New Jerseyduring Dolores and Jennifer Aydin counting the last-minute invite to Teresa’s bridal party, Jackie said the supposed hostility as the rest of the cast reacted to the drama surrounding Teresa’s bridesmaid queue.
“I heard that Dolores and Teresa were fighting, so they weren’t at the engagement party. I think Dolores was heard saying, and Teresa knew, and they fought about it,” Jackie said on the April 4 episode of RHONJ: After Show.
Then, as Melissa Gorga noted that Dolores and My messengerwho attended the event, “don’t get along,” Margaret Josephs wondering if Dolores will say “yes” to Teresa’s last invitation, especially after coming only once Dina pulled out of her wedding.
“What’s going on here? Why did you say ‘yes’?” he asked. “[Teresa] don’t want you first. You weren’t even at the engagement party. There’s an endless excuse for her not being at the engagement party we’ve heard.
“Dolores should have been like, in the first round of asking,” Melissa agreed. “He was the second round of asking. I knew that the real Dina had to be there, and then when Dina wouldn’t come or come back in, Dolores was asked.
According to Teresa, she initially had no plans to have bridesmaids.
“At first I thought [Luis Ruelas and I] just want to have our child at the wedding. I was like, ‘Babe, we’re just going to have our kids at the party?’ ‘No, babe, I want to have Jo, Fernanda, two partners,’ then I’m like, ‘Oh okay,’ then I start adding people,” he explained, emphasizing to Dolores, “That’s it. “
And, despite not being asked directly, Dolores said she was “happy” and “happy” to be included.
“I feel good,” Rachel Fuda added from the pending invitation to Dolores and Jennifer. “He asked [Melissa] too.”
“Not because he wants to,” Melissa replied.
As RHONJ fans will recall, Teresa announced that she would not be including her sister-in-law Melissa in her bridal party during the episode Watch What Happens Live.
“When Andy asked her the question she didn’t want to say ‘yes’ because then that would pigeonhole her to hold it. So she just said, ‘No,'” said Jennifer about Teresa’s revelation.
But later, after realizing he wanted to “show [Dolores and Jennifer] how much [she loves] her,” Teresa had a change of heart – the last minute that Dolores said she was “totally” okay with it.
“Absolutely not. Mm-hm,” Dolores insisted. “I live in the moment, and I live for the moment he and he are happy, and that’s it, and I’m happy to be a part of it.”
“I think it’s better late than never. Sometimes he’s a little late to the game,” Jennifer agreed.
