Margaret Josephs' husband, Joe Benigno, may have accidentally fueled rumors suggesting Jackie Goldschneider's husband, Evan Goldschneider, had been unfaithful on a recent episode of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," but according to Benigno, he never meant to bring any additional hardships to the family.
While appearing on the March 31 episode of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey: After Show," Benigno admitted that he thinks Goldschneider is a "great girl" and added that he never wanted anything to get in the way of their friendship.
Joe Benigno Is A Good Friend Of The Goldschneiders
“I think Jackie is a great girl. I love her," Benigno told the cameras. "She’s a good friend. She’s great friends with Margaret and I’m good friends with Evan and I don’t want anything to come in between our families and our friendship so any miscommunications or ideas she had, we had to talk it out.”
During the latest episode of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," Goldschneider was heard declaring that she was never going to talk to Benigno again after learning he had claimed that he too had heard her husband had potentially been unfaithful.
Jackie Goldschneider Was Also Involved In A Dispute With Margaret Josephs
“I said to Joe B., who I’m very close with, and who Evan’s very close with, like, ‘How dare you? Don’t talk to me anymore.’ I was so disappointed in him gossiping about my husband," Goldschneider explained of the comment.
Meanwhile, as viewers witnessed, Josephs ended up feuding with Goldschneider, which further exacerbated the situation.
"Margaret got upset. She yelled at me. Margaret, the closest person to me, was suddenly turning on me and at that moment, I said, ‘I just gotta get out of here.’ I ran into the kitchen and I was crying and I heard them talking about me. I was questioning a lot at that moment. I didn’t understand," Goldschneider admitted.

"At that moment, since joining the show, the worst that I’ve ever felt on this show," Goldschneider continued. "I felt like I didn’t have any friends. I’ve never in my life had relationships where people are talking about me and I’m calling them my friends.”
Looking back, Josephs said it was all one big misunderstanding.
"I was like, ‘You’re kidding me right? Of course they’re f*cking talking about it.’ What do you think my husband just brought it up? She was saying she was never going to talk to Joe again. I was like, ‘What?!’ I was so upset," she shared.
