The Real Housewives of New Jersey has been thrown into chaos after Jackie Goldschneider launched a fiery attack on Dolores Catania, accusing her of betraying Teresa Giudice while pretending to be her loyal friend, sparking one of the most explosive feuds the franchise has seen in years.
Jackie, 47, stunned fans when she went public with her accusations, claiming that Dolores had been playing both sides of the cast by assuring Teresa of her loyalty in private while simultaneously undermining her reputation and fueling divisions behind closed doors.
In a scathing rant, Jackie branded Dolores “two-faced” and a “hypocrite,” saying that her behavior was beyond anything she had ever witnessed on the show.
Insiders close to production told DailyMail.com that tensions have been simmering for months, with Jackie increasingly frustrated by what she sees as Dolores’s “chameleon-like” ability to shift allegiances depending on who she is with on camera.
One source claimed that Jackie had receipts of Dolores allegedly mocking Teresa’s marriage to Luis Ruelas in off-camera conversations, despite publicly defending the couple on the show — adding fuel to Jackie’s assertion that Dolores has been sabotaging Teresa’s trust all along.
Jackie reportedly confronted Dolores in front of castmates during a recent taping, and the exchange quickly spiraled into a shouting match so vicious that producers were forced to intervene, with one witness describing the clash as “pure Housewives mayhem that shook everyone in the room.”
According to the insider, Teresa herself was left blindsided and shaken by the accusations, as she has long considered Dolores one of her closest allies in the cast, and the suggestion that her supposed confidante could have been plotting against her has ignited deep cracks in their friendship.
While Dolores has yet to respond publicly, sources claim she is furious at Jackie for airing dirty laundry and dragging her name through the mud on such a public stage.
The fallout is now dominating the Bravo fanbase, with viewers fiercely divided between those who believe Dolores has always been Teresa’s most steadfast supporter and those siding with Jackie, who insist that Dolores has been quietly hedging her bets for years.
With the reunion looming, producers are said to be leaning heavily into the feud as a centerpiece storyline, promising fireworks when all three women are forced to confront the accusations on camera.
For now, Jackie has made it clear that she is not backing down, vowing that she will continue to “expose the hypocrisy” she claims has poisoned the group — even if it means burning bridges permanently.
