Jacqueline Laurita can’t seem to stop talking about her Real Housewives of New Jersey co-stars, especially when it comes to the drama. Even though Jacqueline knows that there are some things that she shouldn’t say in front of Teresa Giudice, she doesn’t seem to really understand the consequences of speaking about her co-stars. When Teresa went to prison last year, Jacqueline filmed a segment for The Real Housewives of New Jersey, where she talked about how upset she was about her friend going to prison. Many felt that she was just doing this for attention and possibly to get a spot on the show again.

According to a new Bravo report, Jacqueline Laurita is now talking about Teresa and Melissa Gorga once again, and it sounds like she isn’t speaking to them these days. As it turns out, Laurita admits that she tried to meddle in their relationship prior to Melissa coming on the show in the beginning, as she wanted them to sit down and work out their issues before they started filming The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Jacqueline sat down for an interview on SiriusXM’s Wake Up with Taylor this week, where she opened up about her decision to meddle in their relationship.

“When [Melissa] was coming on the show, I said, ‘You should call and make it good before she gets on the show so you guys aren’t fighting before [filming starts],'” Jacqueline Laurita explains during her interview, according to Bravo, adding, “She refused to call ahead of time.”

Laurita is trying to explain that Giudice could have avoided the drama at the christening that her brother, Joe Gorga and his wife Melissa, were having for their son. It was the first episode of the season, and it clearly showed the family tensions in New Jersey. As it turns out, Jacqueline Laurita believes that all of this could have been avoided if Teresa had just called her brother and worked things out.

“So she went on-camera at the Christening trying to act like everything was great. ‘How ya doing?'” Jacqueline explained of the situation, according to Bravo, adding, “And that’s why her brother snapped, because he’s like, ‘Really? You’ve been treating us like crap, and now you want to come on and pretend like it’s all good?'”

Laurita admits that she really did try to get her to call her brother, but that her advice was not welcomed.

“I told her, ‘Call [Joe]. Call him beforehand.’ She did not take my advice,” Jacqueline said of the situation, adding, “‘I’m like, ‘Fake it ’til you make it.’ If you don’t want the headache of her fighting during filming, then do that.”

As it turns out, Jacqueline isn’t speaking to Teresa, and it sounds like things are not great with Gorga either. The two are not on speaking term these days, and the drama between them may play out later on this season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

“She wants to rewrite history. She was just very disappointing to me, Jacqueline continued during the interview, adding that Melissa may be upset with her these days because she’s blaming her for the issues with Teresa, which Laurita believes is just wrong.

“I don’t know. Maybe. I’m not really sure,” Laurita pondered, adding, it “would be stupid because everyone knows they didn’t get along long before I came around. Long before. And I always tried to make them work it out.”

Of course, Giudice may have bigger issues to deal with than working things out with Laurita. According to Daily Mail, she’s been trying to fight rumors that her husband cheated on her while she was locked up.
