The pair were already feuding over Teresa spreading a false rumor that Jackie’s husband cheated on her during a birthday party she threw for him.
A source told PageSix: “Teresa and Jackie did not disappoint. If Teresa and Jackie were the main event, the undercard fight was Margaret and Jennifer. There are a few surprises.”
Their feud escalated when Goldscheider said the cheating rumor was as hurtful as if she told others’ that Teresa’s daughter Gia did cocaine.
Tweeting after the episode – which aired in February – Jackie said: “My analogy about Gia was simply an analogy – there was no truth to it of course.
“The rest of the cast understood this, which you’ll see in the coming weeks. The behavior at my husband’s birthday party is truly unfortunate – destroying a marriage and family is not entertainment.”
They also feuded over Jackie making a reference to Teresa’s stay in a federal prison, which Giduice replied with calling her a “nasty b****”.
After the reunion, PageSix reports Teresa drove to Harrah’s Casino in Atlantic City with her daughter Audriana at 1am for a dance competition.
Teresa recently faced a fan backlash after they accused her of having too much “plastic surgery and Botox” in a new photo of her face.
She shared a photo of her face, which had been delicately finessed with a glamorous palette of makeup including false lashes and lipstick, alongside the news.
The star pouted for the snap, as many fans flooded the comments to compliment her for her “beautiful” looks and “flawless skin”.
However, not everyone was complimentary about the photo, as many more slammed the reality TV personality for “ruining” her looks with “fillers.”
