The Housewives Try to Make Nice After Blowout Fights in ‘RHONJ’

While many of the Real Housewives of New Jersey ladies seemed like they were ready to make nice in this week’s episode, others were finding new things to get upset about.

Dolores Catania and Margaret Josephs attempted to clear the air after Catania’s friendSiggy Flicker attacked Josephs at last episode’s party. Flicker thought Josephs’ mocking of her emotional nature with the nickname “Soggy Flicker” was cruel, while the pigtailed Housewife said it was all in good fun.

Meanwhile, Catania was called out at the party for her unconventional relationship with her ex-husband Frank Catania, with whom she still lives.

When Catania and Josephs get together to make up, Catania calls out her castmatenot only for mocking Flicker but for calling her an “a– kisser.”

Josephs doesn’t have much of a response, but attacks Flicker’s and her recent behavior, which Catania defends despite Margaret’s insistence it was irrational.

“I just don’t understand how she can’t even admit the slightest little fault. I mean, she’s drinking the Kool-Aid, so, I’m getting a little nervous that this dinner might not go as planned,” Josephs says.

When the two Housewives circle back to the other cast members‘ attack on Catania’s relationship with her ex, Josephs assures her that she can’t judge based on her own past of unconventional relationships.

Catania then opens up about her own relationship with her ex-husband, saying they work hard to maintain a close family despite the divorce. This has left her feeling isolated, which is why she has been so loyal to Flicker despite her erratic behavior.

In turn, Josephs tearfully admits that since she married her husband Joe Beningo, two of her step-children from a previous marriage haven’t spoken to her in six years. Margaret begins to cry while talking about it.

“I can’t imagine the hurt that that must be, to have kids that you raised not talk to you. And her feelings go a lot deeper than me and Siggy gave her credit for,” Catania says.

Flicker later tells Catania she’ll give Josephs another chance, but we’ll see how long the Rbavo stars can keep on good terms before igniting another feud.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Wednesday at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.
