It looks like the ongoing feud betweenTeresa GiudiceandJackie Goldschneiderwon’t be ending any time soon.
In Wednesday’s episode ofThe Real Housewives of New Jersey,both Teresa, 48, and Jackie, 44, refused to apologize for their dramatic fight that wasfeatured in the season premierelast month.
The feud began when Teresa started asking her fellow cast members if they had heard that Jackie’s husband Evan “screws around” with other women when he goes to the gym. However, when Jackie confronted Teresa about it, she refused to share who she heard the rumor from. That led Jackie to come up withan analogyabout Teresa’s 20-year-old daughter,Gia Giudice.
Comparing repeating seemingly baseless rumors about someone’s husband cheating to saying she “heard that Gia snorts coke in the bathroom at parties,” Jackie asked Teresa: “How is that not the same thing?”
The tension continued into the season’s third episode, which featured the entire cast — sans Jackie — on a trip in Lake George. At one point,Melissa GorgaandMargaret Josephscalled Jackie from the lake house to check in, and she explained that the rumor continued to be “disruptive” for her family.

“Is that what he said he needs from her?” asked Melissa, 41, to which Jackie said, “That’s it.”
“Does she realize that’s not a small request?” Melissa later told the cameras. “We can’t even convince Teresa it was wrong to spread the rumor, now you think she’s gonna call your f—— husband?”
“I think if you really want to get her to say what you need her to say, is to possibly say, ‘Listen Teresa, I am sorry for the bad analogy,'” Melissa then suggested, but Jackie wasn’t planning on apologizing.

“Oh no no no no,” she said. “Melissa, there’s nothing in the world that I’m sorry about. I needed her to understand that saying words about somebody you love is so hurtful. She could have made it right but she kept digging in.”
“It’s totally in her court, I don’t know what else to tell you,” Jackie added.
At dinner, Melissa and Margaret, 53, then made it their mission to convince Teresa to apologize and put the fight behind them for the sake of the group.
“She would like for Teresa to call her husband, and say, ‘I did hear a rumor but we can all see you’re a great husband you’re a great father — whoever said this is probably a liar.’ Done. I think that could help,” Melissa explained.
“Are you willing to do that?“Jennifer Aydinasked.

“No,” Teresa replied definitively. “I didn’t make it up, it was something I heard, and if you don’t like it, too f—— bad. When she apologizes to me about my daughter, I’ll talk to her husband.”
“Told you!” Melissa said, asDolores Cataniaadded, “I’m sure she’ll do that.”
“Oh, you’re so sure about that?” Margaret said, explaining that Jackie made it clear she would not be the first to apologize.
The group continued to try to get Teresa to understand her mistakes in spreading the rumor, but the reality star got increasingly more agitated and left the table.
“I’m leaving,” she said. “Because, you know, you guys are all a——-.”
“We tried really hard to make Teresa see the light,” Melissa said in a confessional. “We failed. So, Jackie needs to find a way to move on from all this, or else we’re all never going to be able to be together again.”
“I’m sick and tired of talking about this,” Teresa concluded after her friends calmed her down.
Elsewhere in the episode, the topic of Jackie, Evan and Teresa came up when the Housewives’ husbands were enjoying a poker game together.
“To be quite honest with you, I have sort of heard the same rumors,” Margaret’s husband Joe Benigno told the other men.
“Holy s—!” Dolores' ex-husband Frank said. “Joe just dropped the bomb.”
“Are you revealing your source?” Bill Aydin asked, but Joe didn’t have any conclusive evidence.
“I mean, to be quite honest with you, at any given point during the day there’s 10 girls in my house, and none of them talk quietly,” Joe said.
