Last week, the cast of the seventh season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey went on their cast trip to Vermont—and apparently Jacqueline Laurita was at the center of drama.
“Jacqueline went crazy last night,” an inside source told Radar Online. “It was a fight involving Jacqueline.” According to the source, “Jacqueline was upset at Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga.”
Apparently the women arrived in Vermont on Monday for a group vacation and were expected to remain there until Friday. However, it's been reported that two of the cast members returned to New Jersey abruptly and attorneys got involved.
Multiple sources confirm that Laurita was one of the two women to go home. “One of the add-on cast members also went home,” a source added.
But there's more to the story.
Apparently, Jacqueline Laurita felt physically threatened during the cast trip. Laurita fled the shoot over a fight with new cast member Robyn Levy and she reportedly called Bravo lawyers.
"Robyn made threats to Jacqueline, threatening physical harm against her," an insider told Real Mr. Housewife. "Bravo had her and her wife, Christina Flores, removed from the cast trip. They will not tolerate violent threats being made. In addition, due to her actions, Robyn has completely lost any chance she had at being a full time cast member."
But even after Levy and Flores were sent home packing, the drama continued, an insider told Radar Online. "Jacqueline just couldn't let it go! She was angry the other ladies didn't stand up for her," the source explained. "She ended up leaving early, but wasn't forced out by Bravo."
The trip was supposed to be a relaxing getaway, but "ongoing tensions between the ladies just exploded," the source said. "The season had started out so promising, and everyone was getting along. Well, that is clearly out the window now."
This trip "will probably go down as one of the most dramatic in the RHONJ franchise history," said the source.
