Jackie Goldschneider appeared on Tuesday night’s Watch What Happens Live, where she addressed the real reason behind her drama with Danielle Cabral and potential hypocrisy regarding her comments about her strained relationship with her brother.
As the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member also commented on her husband, Evan Goldschneider, the hottest of the franchise, and the rumors suggesting her sister once dated him, and named the “most overrated” housewife of the show, Jackie admitted to thinking Danielle is a “mean girl.”
“Let me tell you something Andy, if that was true you would’ve known about it from day one because that would’ve gotten me on the show,” Jackie said on the April 18 episode of WWHL after being asked if her sister had shared a romance with her spouse.
According to Jackie, she’s not sure if the “hottest” title has led to Evan getting DMs from other women on social media.
“I don’t know. I don’t check his DMs,” she admitted.
But either way, she’s not worried.
“It’s hot. Look at this body, Andy. Would you be worried?” she asked, signaling to her stunning physique.
Jackie was also questioned about the “most overrated” cast member of RHONJ.
“I think Jennifer,” she replied.
As fans well know, Jackie was demoted to a “friend” role for season 13. However, that didn’t stop her from coming up with her own tagline. In fact, she created the perfect one.
“I’m not here for a full time, I’m here for a good time,” she told host Andy Cohen.
Although Jackie and Melissa Gorga have been close friends for years, many felt that Melissa threw her under bus when she told Danielle she had dissed her clothes — a claim Jackie denied.
“No, I don’t think so,” she assured. “I wasn’t trying to keep it a secret. I knew when I said it that it’d probably get out there.”
Jackie also didn’t feel that she threw Margaret Josephs under the bus by saying she “knows everything about everyone” and that she didn’t “want to piss her off’ on a season 12 after show.
“No, I said that? I don’t think so. Marge is a yenta,” Jackie explained. “You know what a yenta is? Marge is just a yenta. She does know everything about everyone. Do I want to piss [her] off? No because [she’s] my best friend.”
While playing a Q&A game with Andy during the episode, Jackie was asked questions about Danielle and encouraged to say something nice. But after she applauded the outfit Danielle wore to her Barbie party, she struggled to share additional kind things.
After being asked about the most clever thing Danielle has said, Jackie responded, “What did I hear her say that was clever? I’m not being shady I just can’t think of it. Pass.”
Then, when questioned about what Danielle better at than she is, Jackie said, “Throwing big parties.”
Speaking of their early moments together, Jackie insisted she tried to get along, and that the real reason for their feud is because Danielle invited everyone on the cast, except her, to the first cast party.
“I don’t have anything against her. I was very welcoming to her at the beginning. She does not have eyes in the back of her head. She didn’t see me look her up and down. She just didn’t want to invite me to the first cast party and that made me think she’s a mean girl,” Jackie explained. “I had nothing against her. But when she invited eight of the nine people on the cast and not me, that pissed me off. It was like, ‘Game on.’”
As for the claims of hypocrisy over her questions about Danielle’s falling out with her brother, Jackie said her estrangement from her sister is a “completely different situation.”
“It’s not like I was best friends with my sister and then I stained her favorite shirt and now we don’t talk to each other or know each other’s kids. It’s a completely different situation,” she stated. “We’ve never known each other. We’ve had fight after fight and eventually, as adults, we just cut each other out. They were best friends and then an Instagram block made them completely separate their lives? It doesn’t make sense and I think it’s okay to question it.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 13 airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
