Analogies have been put aside, hell has frozen over, and Jackie Goldschneider is officially friends with Teresa Giudice. During today’s Real Housewives of New Jersey panel at BravoCon, Melissa Gorga and Margaret Josephs wasted no time shading their old pal’s newfound friendship with the woman who was once her sworn enemy.

While Season 14 of the hit reality show was filming, fans noticed a clear dynamics shift between the cast. For the first time since she joined the show, Goldschneider appeared to be getting along with Giudice — despite the fact that she has been a longtime close friend of Gorga and Josephs.

According to Josephs — who dished on their falling out — Goldschneider has a “nice case of amnesia” when it comes to remembering who her real friends are.

“Jackie and I — spoiler alert since it’s been announced — we are not where we used to be in life. We are not as close as we used to be, which is sad,” she said. “She informed me, which I didn’t realize, [that] we’re not as close as I thought we were. So I think I took offense to that and it went a little south.”

Meanwhile, Gorga — who has been close with both women over the years —  has been put in a “difficult” place. And Goldschneider’s friendship with Giudice doesn’t make it any easier as the sisters-in-law haven’t been on the best terms.

“I’m very confused by it, also,” Gorga said. “I have to say a lot of it was hard for me because I love Jackie. I’ve been friends with Jackie for a long time — the three of us together. A lot of the things she just came out of left field and started to say were strange to me, made no sense to me.”

She continued, “To my face, she’s extremely nice, she’s very kind, and then I’ll read little snarky things here and there that she’s saying so it’s very confusing for me. I don’t understand exactly how authentic she’s being about her new decisions in life.”

At the end of the day, Gorga wants her friend to remember who was there for her when she was “down” —  and anyone who watches RHONJ knows damn well it wasn’t Giudice.

“Everyone needs to remember who their friends are and who was there for them when they were down — not while they’re just trying to get back up,” she said. “I have love for her, I just — I don’t know, I guess we’ll see.”
