Margaret Jospehs was a featured guest on the April 7 episode of "Watch What Happens Live," where she admitted Jackie Goldschneider had a right to be upset with her husband, Joe Benigno, after her suggested he had heard rumors claiming her husband, Evan Goldschneider, had been unfaithful.
"I think Jackie had a right to get upset because she didn’t really know what was going on," Josephs explained to host Andy Cohen after Wednesday night's new episode of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey."
Jackie Goldschneider Didn't Get The Full Story
"She didn’t even know about guys night," Josephs continued.
As fans have seen over the past several episodes of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," Benigno revealed, during a night in with the husbands of the show, that he had gotten wind of the cheating rumors plaguing Evan, which were first repeated on the show by Teresa Giudice. However, what was not confirmed was that Benigno had learned of the rumor only after Josephs had repeated it to the staff of their home.
Looking back, Josephs said that while she understand why Goldschneider was upset, she didn't want her yelling at her husband.
Margaret Josephs Had Told Her Staff About What Happened Between Jackie Goldschneider And Teresa Giudice
"I didn’t want her yelling at Joe because we are such defenders of Jackie. So I had to squash that," Josephs recalled of the drama.
"He never said ‘the rumors around town.’ He said he had nine or 10 girls in her house. And the guys night happened after Teresa and Jackie had the fight in my house. I told Marge Sr. in my house. I came home from the party and the truth is, I told my entire team what happened."
Margaret Josephs Was Shocked By Jen Shah's Arrest
During the "Watch What Happens Live: After Show" later on Wednesday night, Josephs was asked if she's been watching "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City."
“I was obsessed with [RHOSLC]. I really was. And now I’m even more obsessed," she admitted.
She then reacted to the recent news about Jen Shah.
“I’m shocked about the whole situation and I think it’s crazy. It’s really crazy. I think her tweet is indicative… What did she say? ‘Teresa walked so I can run?’ And it’s more valid now,” Josephs noted.
Joe Benigno Hears A Lot Of Gossip About The 'RHONJ' Cast
Continuing on about Benigno and his involvement with the cast drama, Josephs admitted that her husband hears a lot.
"This guy has to hear gossip constantly running around in my house. Is he the most eloquent? No. He should be not gossiping with the men and he did and I was pissed off," she explained.
