Margaret’s Husband Joe Was Almost Unrecognizable At The ‘RHONJ’ Reunion
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
If there’s anything The Real Housewives of New Jersey can teach us, it’s that family comes first. In the RHONJ reunion, Teresa Giudice proved that to be true, as she hurled insults first at her brother Joe Gorga and her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, before moving on to Margaret Josephs.
Get your popcorn ready and leave your sprinkle and pignoli cookies at home, because Andy Cohen’s sheer frustration with these ladies was just the beginning. The season 12 reunion brought all the drama, and then some.
Here's everything you need to know about the latest and greatest feuds in the good old garden state:
The trailer was ~spicy~.
This trailer reminds me of the many dinners gone sideways at my Italian grandmother’s house, and I could not be more excited to watch it. Think The Sopranos meets WWE.
There was so much drama in the two-minute trailer that it was truly hard to keep track of. But not to worry, I have now watched it at least 20 times and can probably break it down frame by frame.
Here's the jaw-dropping preview trailer:
There were a few key feuds to watch, however. Joe Gorga stormed off the set, saying that he is quitting the show after Teresa called him a "b*tch" and he calls her a "f*cking moron." (Siblings, you gotta love them!) Their spat may have had something to do with Joe’s fight with Gia Giudice earlier in the season, but it’s honestly hard to tell.
Then, there was the Margaret and Teresa boxing match that has endured this season. Margaret was skeptical of Louis. And, Teresa never backs down from a fight. See: the great table flip of 2009.
Which cast members attended the reunion?
All of the key players were at the reunion to tackle some of the season’s gossip head-on. All of the ladies and their husbands attended, plus Frank Catania. Because truly what is a Jersey moment without my guy Frank!? Teresa’s fiancé Luis Ruelas also filmed with the cast.
Part one of the RHONJ reunion premiered on May 3rd.
After a truly wild season that took us everywhere from Nashville, Tennessee, to inside Bill and Jennifer Aydin’s marriage, the reunion spanned an epic three parts.
The RHONJ finale aired on Bravo on April 26, with the reunion dropping on May 3, May 10, and May 17.
What drama was covered?
ALL OF IT! Viewers saw Bill Aydin finally answer for his affair when Jennifer was 9 months pregnant.
We also saw Andy grill Luis about his alleged violent behavior over the years. And worst of it all, there is the video. In a resurfaced video, Luis seems to be begging a woman for forgiveness while surrounded by a group of shirtless guys he calls his "brothers." I could truly write a dissertation on whatever the hell this bro-ey retreat is, but for the sake of time, just watch it. The people have questions, and Andy is finally getting answers!
We also heard that Frank Catania is no fan of Dolores’s new boyfriend, and I for one would like more details on this little bump in the road.
Joe B. stole the show when the husbands arrived.
Personally, I love a Househusbands moment, and this year's reunion did not disappoint. Andy brought all the guys out during part three, and while Joe Gorga and Bill Aydin had a lot of questions to answer, what shocked everyone (viewers included) was Joe Benigno's total transformation.
Margaret Joseph's husband showed up looking better than ever—and Andy totally noticed. “Joe B., you look fantastic!” he said. So, what gives?
“Thank you. My wife, after four years, convinced me to go before a surgeon and they cut all the fat out,” Joe explained. Andy replied, “Wow, so they did, like, the bags under your eyes?” Joe confirmed this was the case, per Bravo.
“He had a lot of luggage under those eyes,” Marge added. “A lot... It was bad," Joe said. But all that's in the past now, and Joe is looking better than ever:
Marge has been honest in the past about her own plastic surgery procedures. “I’m not about being fake and plastic,” she said back in 2020, per Bravo. “That’s not what it’s about. It’s not about being insecure or thinking you have to fit into a social norm or anything like that."
"If you want to do something to yourself to make you feel better, you shouldn’t feel guilty about it," she continued. "But I am also not into going over the top and thinking you have to fix every little thing. I like things that make people unique as well.”
What about the reunion outfits?
Our girls looked 🔥 on the reunion stage. Worth noting was Teresa’s reflective jumpsuit, which seemed to have approximately one million tiny mirrors hanging off of it. If there’s anything the ladies of Jersey love, it’s the subtle glam.
In the midst of the fighting and the insults, Tre stood up in front of Andy, spun, and said “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Teresa Giudice." Iconic!
