Jackie Goldschneider appeared on Danny Pellegrino's podcast series, Everything Iconic last month, where she opened up about her thoughts on past cast members of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
After Pellegrino wondered which of the ex-stars of the Bravo reality series Goldschneider would like to see return to the show, Goldschneider admitted that she isn't familiar with too many of the show's past stars. In fact, the only person who she's truly interacted with his Jacqueline Laurita, who starred on the series' first seven seasons.

“The only one that I know is Jacqueline because I wrote a story on her once for a magazine," Goldschneider explained to Pellegrino.
As fans of The Real Housewives of New Jersey will recall, Laurita was one of the original cast members when the show began airing in May 2009 and continued to appear on the series full-time through season five. Then, ahead of season six, it was rumored that Laurita had been fired before she was ultimately brought back in a part-time position.

After Laurita took on a part-time position for The Real Housewives of New Jersey season six, she returned to her full-time role for season seven but did not return to the show the following year for season eight. Instead, an all new cast member, Margaret Josephs joined the series in a full-time position.
Meanwhile, Goldschneider did not appear on The Real Housewives of New Jersey until the series' ninth season in 2108 and did so alongside her fellow newbie Jennifer Aydin.

Looking back at her encounter with Laurita, Goldschneider said that the former cast member was quite nice to her before confirming they stayed in touch just "a little."
"I met her one time but she was very nice. We stayed in touch a little," she shared.
Goldschneider then went on to point out that she never thought about which ex-star she'd like to film with.
"I didn’t watch the past seasons with the viewpoint of ‘Who would I want to be on with?’" she explained.

"I’m glad I wasn’t on those past seasons because I feel they’re a lot nastier and a lot harsher fights than we have now,” Goldschneider admitted.
While Goldschneider and her co-stars began filming scenes for the upcoming 11th season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, production was ultimately halted just a short time later due to the ongoing spread of the coronavirus in the United States.
No word yet on when The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 11 will premiere on Bravo.
