last week, Real Housewives of New Jersey viewers see just how bad it can get.
So outspoken, Joe Gorga threatened to bust Luis Ruelas’ f–king balls. Brother words, not us.
On Tuesday night, it was Jennifer Aydin’s turn to do battle – this time with Rachel Fuda. Honest? This is a terrible exchange of insults very funny. You will see.
Also, Melissa ends up attending Teresa’s “love bubble” party (ugh) solo. He came alone, and he left in tears.
This week’s episode shows Teresa and Luis’ big housewarming party, featuring a hearty plate of pasta.
The stunned Housewives cast watched with the rest of us as Jennifer Aydin faced off against Rachel Fuda.
“I called [Rachel] up and I said, ‘I’m sorry if I talked about your nose,'” Jennifer said. “People were talking about my horrible nose.”
“I feel bad about your bad nose, and I feel bad. I called to apologize,” Jennifer explained. It’s funny.
In the flashback of Jennifer’s nose job jab (or faux pas, hear her tell it), we hear Rachel explain to her friend Jennifer Fessler.
“So we left the mozz party, he called me [and] he’s like, ‘Hey, I hope I’m not offending you by, like, picking your nose. You know I’m not very happy with my results,’” Rachel recalled.
According to Rachel, the call quickly turned into Jennifer “talking” Dolores Catania at her, making her uncomfortable.
So, at the party, Rachel confronts Jennifer.
“You’ve started talking s–t [about Catania], and what did I tell you? You said, ‘I’m giving you context,’ and I said, ‘Jennifer, don’t go with me,’ ” Rachel noted.
That’s not how Jennifer remembers it. He insists that he only tells his “history” with Rachel. confident.
When Rachel disagreed, Jennifer yelled “You stupid king!”
“Watch your kings mouth,” Rachel pleaded, instructing him “don’t call me stupid.”
“What a fool!” Aydin yelled at Fuda, who clapped and said, “don’t call me stupid.”
“F–king idiot,” Jennifer repeated, doubling down.
At this point, Dolores and Margaret try to calm things down. And Dolores feels “offended” that Jennifer has bothered you. Very understandable.
“You want a medal? It’s good! Someone give me a medal!” Jennifer replied (sarcastically) when people tried to diffuse the situation.
At this time, Rachel caught her husband, John Fuda. The two started walking. “Keep moving, don’t let the door enter your butt on the way out!” Jennifer scoffed as they left.
Rachel shot back: “There’s no door, you bastard!”
Unfortunately, it was not the only bad business of the night.
See, Teresa ends up inviting her brother, Joe, to her house “love bubble” party with Luis Ruelas.
It is an olive branch. And Joe and Teresa both told each other “I love you” before hanging up the phone.
However, he later tells Melissa that he can’t go. He felt like a set-up. Given Luis’ situation, it was understandable.
Melissa chose to participate. Olive branch for olive branch. He felt sad that his nephew could not see his uncle that night.
Then this happens:
Luis and Teresa stood at the table and thanked everyone for coming. No problem, right? (Also, credit where credit is due: Luis is wearing a really cool outfit here)
Then they called the gathered guests Teresa’s “chosen family”.
Does that feel like an odd choice of words, even a painful choice, given Joe’s absence? Margaret must have thought so.
Immediately, several people in the crowd offered words of comfort to Melissa Gorga.
He was there without his wife, already emotionally exhausted.
Margaret also predicted to the camera exactly how Teresa would respond – claiming that she was just saying something nice, and that she didn’t mean anything.
Whether she meant it or not, Teresa’s words hurt.
In the end, Melissa left in tears.
It was a hard night for him. The clash between Rachel and Jennifer is more fun to watch.
