‘RHONJ’ Star Rachel Fuda Admits She Can’t Defend Margaret Josephs’ Decision To Show Dolores Catania The Shady Texts Calling Her A Slob

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Rachel Fuda was forced to address her co-stars’ most shocking moments on the show during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live .

Andy Cohen challenged the housewife to a rapid fire game of “Defend! Your! Friend!,” in which Fuda had to admit whether she could “defend” her co-stars’ actions. Cohen kicked off the game with a moment from Season 14, in which Margaret Josephs showed Dolores Catania text messages from Jackie Golschneider , who called her a “slob.”

“I mean, I can’t defend it,” she admitted.

The text messages in question were sent when Catania didn’t tag Goldschneider and her husband in a photo on social media. The messages to Josephs showed Goldschneider calling Catania a “f****** slob,” writing, “I hate her.”

Goldschneider recently clarified what she meant in a text message to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp , who read Goldschneider’s statement aloud on her podcast Two Ts in a Pod .

“[Goldschneider] wrote, ‘Haha. I just meant it was sloppy behavior. I was venting privately to a friend before filming even started. Should have never been on camera. It was such a nasty thing to do,'” Mellencamp said.

The text message continued, reading, “‘Obviously Dolores is not a slob, and I don’t hate her. I was mad in the moment.'”

During her appearance on WWHL , Fuda also called Goldschneider “the laughing stock of Bravo” after it was revealed that OG housewife Teresa Giudice was using her for more information on Josephs.

But Fuda’s game of “Defend! Your! Friend!” highlighted many of Joseph’s most iconic, and hilarious, moments on the show.

Cohen asked Fuda if she could defend Josephs for pouring water on Danielle Staub ‘s head during their heated altercation in Season 10. “I don’t know the context of this whole situation,” Fuda said. “But yes.”

In another instance from the game, Fuda refused to answer whether she could defend Josephs’ decision to reveal Bill Ayden’s affair. “Um, I plead the fifth,” she answered.
