Viewers will apparently see some drama go down between Jacqueline Laurita and Teresa Giudice, as well as between Jacqueline and Melissa Gorga, on the upcoming seventh season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. For the past few days, Jacqueline has made it clear via her social media accounts that she’s no longer in a good place with Teresa and Melissa.

On Friday, Jacqueline publicly accused Teresa of using the “R” word.

Many people left comments wondering what Jacqueline meant by the “R” word and asking her to clarify. Some people guessed that Teresa used the word “retard.” Jacqueline, whose son Nicholas was diagnosed with autism in 2012, is an autism advocate. Did Teresa actually use the offensive word when speaking about Nicholas, or did she use it in a more general way to describe a situation?

Some people left comments criticizing Jacqueline for making such a public accusation. They told her to be more mature and to tell Teresa what she has to say in private, not on social media. Yet others voiced support for Jacqueline, saying that using such a word is never acceptable. There were also comments from some people that acknowledged that they, and others, although knowing that the word is not appropriate, sometimes let slip and use the word in conversation.

Perhaps viewers will see Teresa use the “r” word during a conversation with Jacqueline? Shortly after posting that accusatory tweet, Jacqueline tweeted that filming for The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 7 has finished.

On the last day of filming, Jacqueline also posted a tweet about how some people have so much to say about her, but don’t have the courage to face her one-on-one. Jacqueline called them cowards who need an army.

Who are the people Jacqueline Laurita believes to be cowards? It may be Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga. On Friday, All About The Real Housewives reported that after Jacqueline refused to attend Melissa’s ENVY fashion show two days prior, producers arranged for Jacqueline to have a final meeting with Melissa. The blog site wrote that Melissa likely had Teresa and one other housewife there with her for support, while Jacqueline may have had Teresa’s cousin, Kathy Wakile, on her side during the confrontation.

On Thursday, NJ.com‘s Vicki Hyman, who attended Melissa’s fashion show, confirmed that Jacqueline was a no-show. She also reported that Jacqueline’s feud with most of the cast was a big topic of conversation. The day prior to the fashion show, All About The Tea quoted an insider as saying that Jacqueline won’t show Melissa any support because she believes Melissa to be self-obsessed and didn’t show her husband, Chris Laurita, any support for his popcorn snack launch.

Jacqueline seemingly confirmed All About The Tea‘s reporting.

Jacqueline’s photos from her husband’s big night seems to show that Teresa also didn’t attend.

Jacqueline also tweeted on Thursday that she has learned to cut out people who are not authentic, supportive, and sensitive, but rather self-serving.

In response to someone who asked her why she continues doing Real Housewives if she feels that way about some of her co-stars, Jacqueline pointed out that it’s a job.

Jacqueline has even actually admitted that she doesn’t like Teresa. On Tuesday, Jacqueline posted a flyer for an event at Dolores Catania’s gym that featured appearances by Teresa and Siggy Flicker. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Dolores and Siggy are two of the women that will be seen on the new season in lesser roles. Jacqueline tagged Dolores and Siggy in her caption, but didn’t tag Teresa. When a viewer asked Jacqueline, who explained to another viewer that she wasn’t going because she was sick, why she left Teresa out, Jacqueline responded that it’s because she doesn’t like her.

“bravo_rhonj: @jaclaurita Why didn’t u tag Teresa? She’s clearly in this pic?”

“jaclaurita: because I don’t like her. Why?”

Just what happened between Jacqueline and Melissa and Teresa? Right after Bravo announced season 7, things seemed to be fine between Jacqueline and the two others, as evidenced by a photo that Melissa posted.

Things apparently went south during the cast’s trip to Vermont a few weeks later. Radar Online reported that Jacqueline got very upset at Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice in Vermont, left the trip early, and got lawyers involved.
