On The Real Housewives of New Jersey episode “Bridezilla of Bimini,” tensions between Margaret Josephs and bride Danielle Staud rise as Danielle’s wedding demands drive Margaret wild. Meanwhile, Jackie Goldschneider meets with Dolores Catania to try to understand what makes Teresa Giudice tick. Jackie reveals to Dolores that her father “went away for fraud” too, as did Teresa and her husband Joe Giudice. Jackie says the most nerve-wrecking part was awaiting the sentencing “but once they were doing their time, we weren’t ashamed of it at all.” Jackie was in college when her father did six months in jail for tax evasion and her mother was on house arrest.

Dolores tells Jackie what Teresa is going through is very different. Teresa is the one who went to jail and now she’s raising her four children while her husband is doing three years in jail and faces deportation, and on top of that, Teresa just lost her mother and has to be the breadwinner for the family. The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Sundays at 9 pm on Bravo, right after The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
