RHONJ's Jackie Goldschneider Explains Why She and Teresa Giudice Let Go of Seeking 'Revenge' Against Each Other

Jackie Goldschneider and Teresa Giudice have buried the hatchet once and for all.

During an episode of Goldschneider's new podcast Just Jackie, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 47, opened up about her new dynamic with Giudice, 52, and why the two decided to put their differences behind them despite their years-long feud.

"We have just both hurt each other so many times," Goldschneider began. "We've been vicious to each other for so many years, and yet we chose to forgive each other and to move forward. And a lot of people are really really uncomfortable with that."

The reality star went on to explain how many of her RHONJ castmates and fans have been "so uncomfortable with the fact that we are willing to forgive each other and move forward." In season 14, Goldschneider shocked the Bravosphere when she came to Giudice's defense when Melissa Gorga brought up past rumors that her sister-in-law spread about infidelity in her marriage.

"I can only speak for myself, it felt right," she explained, sharing how "letting go" of all of her "pain," "hurt" and "want for revenge" added "a lot of peace to my life."

She continued, "We weren't just pretending it didn't happen. Teresa and I got together with our husbands, we talked about it off camera. We apologized to each other for it, we apologized to each other's husbands and we decided to move forward."

The decision to resolve things has allowed for "a really nice friendship that continues to grow off camera," Goldschneider said, adding how she sees "the value in a peaceful life."

The duo's resolution come after Housewives executive producer Andy Cohen said on his SiriusXM radio show that the series could have "all fresh faces" for season 15.

While answering a fan question about the deep rifts and longtime feuds on RHONJ, Cohen confessed, "Alright, well yes, we are rebooting the show. We're going to reboot it. We're going to do something different."

"We're gonna see what we do," he continued. "We'll see. I don't know. Maybe just all fresh faces? Maybe. We'll see."

Previously, Cohen has said a "rebrand" was possible. "We're gonna figure something out," he admitted during an episode of Andy Cohen Live in July. "We're gonna figure something out. We are all on the same page about that."
