Jacqueline Laurita has been sharing some behind-the-scenes details about The Real Housewives of New Jersey. She is one of the original housewives on the show and left after Season 7 in 2017.
Recently, she discussed insider information about Teresa Giudice’s feud with her family and her current relationships with some housewives. During an appearance on the AllAbout TRH podcast, Laurita revealed her biggest regret while filming the series.
In the early seasons of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Laurita found herself not as close to her family as she had been when the show began. She chose to be friends with Giudice instead of her sister-in-law, Caroline Manzo.
By the time Laurita left the show, the Manzo and Laurita families were divided. For Laurita, her biggest regret is connected to the lessons she learned from being part of the show.
Although she did not mention specific moments, she emphasized that she made poor choices regarding her friendships during her time on the series.
Laurita Regrets Trusting The Wrong People
During the podcast, Laurita shared that her biggest regrets from the show involve “trusting the wrong people” and “taking things so personally.”
3Since leaving the series, Laurita has not been involved much, except for a text message that Melissa Gorga read during the Season 13 reunion.
In that message, Laurita called Giudice a “low life trash bucket.” Despite this, the two women remain friends, and Laurita mentioned that it did not affect their relationship.
Laurita discussed how her biggest regrets are tied to her behavior on the show. She explained that many of her castmates came on the show to entertain and left the drama there, while she took everything to heart. “I should’ve kept it like some of the other girls do on the show:
They come on, and they entertain, and then they don’t bring it home. I think I took everything very personally … So I would seriously get hurt by things that would happen and things people would say and do.
I took everything to heart when I should’ve treated it like a business,” she stated.
Laurita also commented on Gorga and her “stale storylines” while on the podcast but made it clear that her friendship with Giudice is stronger now than it was in the past.
