Jackie Sheds New Light on What She Did to Teresa in Unseen "Off the Rails" Footage
RHONJ friend Jackie Goldschneider made the explanation in the extended version on Peacock.
The jaw-dropping finale of The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 concluded with Margaret Josephs revealing some explosive new information about Jackie Goldschneider, and the bombshells only kept dropping during the Off the Rails special.
An extended cut of the post-finale episode dropped on Peacock on August 12, and it features a previously-unseen moment when Jackie explains why her actions were different from Margaret's.
While sitting in the same room as castmates Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, and Teresa Giudice, Jackie admits, "I feel bad for the role that I played."
Teresa responds by saying that none of the rumors about her husband, Luis "Louie" Ruelas, would have been fueled if people hadn't given them life in the first place.
"Right, but I don't want what I did and what Margaret did to be confused with each other," Jackie continues, noting that was being very protective at the time because rumors were circulating about her own husband, Evan Goldschneider. "Because mine was to have something in my pocket if I needed it for Evan."
Jackie says that she never needed to use the information she was keeping in her "pocket," so she let it go. "When that was over, that was over for me," she tells Teresa. "That was over, I stopped."
Teresa quickly accepts Jackie's explanation, but have things changed between the two since?
Are Jackie Goldschneider and Teresa Giudice friends today?
Though some of the Jersey ladies were convinced that Teresa would get upset at Jackie once she had some time to process the events at Rails Steakhouse, that wasn't the case.
During an exclusive chat with BravoTV.com on May 30, Jackie revealed that she had a "half-hour call" with both Teresa and Louie the day after the finale filmed.
"I felt bad," Jackie said. "Regardless of what [Teresa] had done to me in the past, I still felt bad."
While speaking to BravoTV.com on July 2, Teresa shared why she was able to move forward with Jackie.
"I'm totally fine with Jackie doing that because I hurt her," Teresa said. "I hurt her by putting out what I said about Evan. See? I'm a big girl. If I punch you, I get it, you're gonna punch me back."
She added, "I could've gotten ugly, [but] that's just not the person I am. And I said that to her. Whatever she did in the past, I don't care. I get why she did what she did. I get it. I just don't roll like her."
