Jackie Goldschneider reveals she would like to have Caroline Manzo return to The Real Housewives of New Jersey amid season 11 feud with Teresa Giudice.
“I feel like everybody on this cast — and it’s the best cast ever — but everybody has some sort of allegiance to Teresa (Giudice). They’re either a family member or friends from childhood, so nobody goes up against her except me,” Jackie explained on the HollywoodLife Podcast. “I have no fear of going up against her, but I feel like the old school Jersey girls stood their ground. And Caroline, especially, I would love to have her back. I’ve never met her. I’ve never even spoken to her. But, I’ve been a fan since day one. So I like Caroline, I wouldn’t mind that at all.”
Goldschneider then sounds off about her issues with her co-stars over her feud with Giudice.
“What happened this season for me was something that made me question whether or not this group of women were the friends that I thought they were. And I needed to really authentically in my own life, figure that out,” she explained. “I needed to do that with my husband, because this affected him too. And so I took a step back and took a minute to really talk to my family and see how we wanted to approach this and what we wanted to do with it.”
She continued, “I love being on the show, even through the hard parts. And there are some hard parts. I do love being on the show,” she told HollywoodLife. “I wouldn’t say alliances have shifted tremendously. I will say that the the season is not all the heaviness and drama that you see in the trailer, there’s also a lot of fun and a lot of light moments and a lot of partying. You’re going to spend quite a bit of this season laughing along with us and having fun with us.”
Jackie then revealed that the ladies traveled to Lake George and the Jersey Shore, which she said was one of her favorite trips she’s ever taken with the show.
“The husbands come to the Jersey Shore, and those husbands, let me tell you, there are no party lines, there is no division, they love each other!” Jackie laughed. “They’re all on a group text with each other, like every day, not filming. They all talk to each other and they really really love each other, it doesn’t matter what’s going on with us. So that’s fun.”
She added, “Going abroad has nothing on the views from Melissa Gorga‘s house and the views of the Jersey Shore. I will tell you it was so beautiful. That whole trip, we had the best weather and we were all outdoors. So, I don’t think that any any part of the show will suffer from not going on an airplane.”
