While some The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars are celebrating a reunion, Margaret Josephs needs more time before breaking bread with Teresa Giudice. "Some things would have to really change and it's not [the] right time," Margaret, 58, told Us Weekly exclusively at BravoCon 2025 on Friday, November 14. "I think there's too many things in the way, and it's just not correct." She added, "I don't wish her any ill, because I think she has enough pain and enough horrible things going on, and I'm concerned for her." Margaret made it clear that she doesn't "want anything bad to happen to her," but a friendship just isn't in their future - for now. Melissa Gorga Reacts to Teresa Giudice Reconnecting With Joe Gorga While burying the proverbial hatchet with Margaret is clearly off the table, Teresa had a major reunion with her brother, Joe Gorga, and sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, just before their three-day jaunt in Sin City for BravoCon. Margaret weighed in on the huge news while chatting with Us as well. "It's their family. I want it to be genuine for the sake of Melissa and Joe - I know it's genuine on their part," Margaret said of the apparent reconciliation. "I think things like this have to be done in a therapeutic setting and behind closed doors, and not to be played out in the press. This has been done many, many times." Margaret admitted she's "hesitant" about Teresa's intentions. (Teresa reacted to Margaret's comments during a separate interview with Us.) "I feel it shouldn't be played out in the press, and I think it's weird to be played out in the press, but that's just me," she explained. "I don't think every move you make needs to be a public statement. I don't think that's really necessary." Margaret did make it clear that she "always" championed Teresa to make up with her brother. (Fans have watched the ups and downs between Teresa, Joe and Melissa on RHONJ for years.) "I always cared for Teresa at the time. I always wanted to be genuine with her," Margaret continued. "I always wanted the family to be together. Every move that's made within a family doesn't have to be announced to every publication and podcast." RHONJ's Margaret Josephs: 'Deep Therapy' Could Mend Teresa, Melissa's Rift RHONJ is currently on pause following an explosive season 14 finale last year that ended with drama between multiple cast members. Margaret would love for the show to come back, but is hoping any potential return will usher in a change of pace from what occurred last season. "I love Jersey. I love what we had. I don't miss last season. That was ugly," she explained. "I would love the fun Jersey to come back." She didn't have any insight on an announcement, however. "Obviously, we talk to production ... but until we get official word, I'm good," she said. "I have a business, I have a family, I have a beautiful life. I'm busy." Us confirmed in September that RHONJ was test filming with some old cast members and potential additions. When asked about this, Margaret played coy, saying she could "not confirm or deny" any rumors. "I'm not allowed to really discuss that," she said. "But, you know, Jersey is always doing something to keep it moving."
