I'm Italian & we are very passionate BUT many of us are also told, from the time we are little, to be tough. Teresa did this to her too, btw. #RHONJ #RHONJreunionI am not a huge Jen fan, but she is right in telling them to not tell her HOW to feel or HOW to express her pain.

If she was, she wouldn’t be such a nasty, vindictive person who actively tries to hurt others. Happy people don’t do that. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #RHONJ #RHONJreunion3It’s pretty obvious Jennifer has not been happy in her marriage or life.

This led to extreme reactions from the cast members and host Andy Cohen, whose frustration was visible in the promo footage released by Bravo last week. The housewives discussed everything that transpired in the season, raising the tension even further.Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, RHONJ star Margaret Josephs reflected on the reunion and said:"It was really dreadful. It was really draining-- draining, dreadful. I mean it was the longest reunion we've ever filmed. I've never seen Andy so frustrated, disenchanted. I mean, he was just as irritated as some of us. It was really the longest reunion I've ever had, and the most insane...I think we were all in shock. I mean, we were reprimanded by Andy a lot."However, during the reunion, Teresa Giudice seemed to be at the center of all the conversations. She had a feud with her brother Joe Gorga over his failure to defend her when Margaret constantly brought up her fiance Luis Ruelas' past. These arguments led Joe to walk away from the gathering.

The journey, albeit shown very little on the show, was difficult for the RHONJ star. She got emotional talking about it in the presence of the host and the other cast members.
