The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 15 Recap: Margaret vs. Siggy
Kim D was back to stir the pot on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 15, and Teresa Giudice was not about to let her leave without throwing in her two cents.
“F—k yeah, I’m on probation, bitch,” Teresa snarled at her enemy before saying that Posche stood for “Piece Of S—t Coke wHore Every day.”
Yes, we’re not so sure Teresa is very good at her spelling. We pity the editor of her books.
Kim then pointed out that the fashion show raised $ 3,000 for the family, and that only paved the way for some more drama as Teresa claimed Kim stole some of the money for herself.
Teresa yelled that Kim D liked to wreck marriages, and even threw in some words about her being a madame. This paved the way for Kim to say that she did not hate the idea of being one.
Wouldn’t it be great if returned full-time? There would be fights on an episodic basis. It would really be Kim D vs. the world.
When Kim D was ushered out of the studio because she served her purpose to rile the women up, Margaret Josephs admitted that she was being sued for over $ 9 million by Vineyard Vines.
This has been widely speculated on social media and something Siggy Flicker has been taunting her with via social media, so it’s excellent that Margaret admitted it.
Margaret was adamant that it was “normal” in the industry, but Siggy continued to try and paint the fashion designer as a bad person.
Now that Siggy is out of the cast, we can breathe a huge sigh of relief until the producers cast the next unstable person to try and cut the women down.
Then, it all switched up and gave us a Dolores Catania and Danielle Staub argument for the ages. If you watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online, you will already know that Danielle has been critical of Dolores’ relationship with her ex-husband, Frank.
Dolores admitted that something was “off” with Danielle and that she did not have any evidence to back up the claims that she was on drugs.
“I get it. You don’t like me, but shut the f—k up and stop calling me names,” Danielle fired back at her nemesis.
“I don’t want anything to do with Dolores Catania, that piece of s—t,” Danielle subsequently said while Dolores was backstage, and it became clear that Dolores loved winding Danielle up.
She was legit laughing and Danielle shouting. Well played, Dolores.
In the end, it all came down to Margaret vs. Siggy, which has been the storyline all season long.
Siggy would not confirm whether she thought Margaret was anti-semitic, saying:
“Only Margaret knows what’s in her heart.”
But things took a tense turn when Margaret started telling Siggy that she had deep ties to Jewish people.
“Shame on you. You are not Jewish. You didn’t convert. You are not Jewish,” Siggy balked at her.
Andy chimed in with his thoughts and admitted that his parents did not agree with Siggy’s sentiments about Margaret.
“You don’t bring him up in casual conversation,” Siggy said. “It’s done.”
So, that’s a wrap on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8!

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 14 Recap: Margaret Josephs vs. Siggy Flicker
When you have a group as divided as the one on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, it’s difficult to imagine what will happen at the reunion.
On The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 14, Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Siggy Flicker, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs and Danielle Staub assembled to break down their thoughts on the tumultuous season of drama.
As always, it all seemed friendly when the episode kicked off, and Margaret was quick to reveal that Joe’s kids watch the show, but they still do not want anything to do with her.
You could tell that was difficult for her, but the whole situation for her seemed bizarre because, well, she left the father of the children and expected them to continue as though everything was normal.
“The only genuine thing you’ve said to me this season is that you are trying to destroy me,” Margaret said to Siggy with a wealthy dose of side-eye, but Siggy continued to act like Margaret was out to her.
Margaret did admit that both of them were as bad as each other, but Siggy continued to act like she was the main attraction of the cast and that Margaret was nothing more than a vile peasant.
Margaret defended her stance about Soggy gate. She said it was about Siggy’s behavior and not to trash her medical condition. Andy chimed in, saying that Siggy was selling merchandise the “Soggy” at her retreat.
Siggy countered that she turns negatives into positives. We think the more probable cause is she turns anything into a profit. Margaret closed off her trash talk of Siggy by saying that her blaming her erratic behavior on menopause was “victimizing.”
In the most random topic change ever, Siggy yelled at Margaret that her husband shot a bear like “Elmer Fudd.”
The conversation switched to whether there would be changes for Teresa and Joe when they get to get back together.
“I guess when he comes home, he has a lot of making up to do. I was hurt, and a lot of anger came out,” she said.
However, Andy questioned whether Teresa would move to Italy with Joe if he was deported and she said the following:
“Whatever God has planned for me, that’s what will happen,” she declared. Yeah, there was something off about it. Maybe the rumors about Teresa having a new man are correct.
Andy then quizzed the ladies about the great big cake fight that kicked off the season. Melissa was mad that Siggy ridiculed her multiple times about it, and felt like she needed to dial it back.
“It was humiliating. I was embarrassed,” Melissa said while glaring at Siggy.
Tensions took a turn for the worse when Kim D was introduced to the stage.
“I guess they let the animal out of the cage,” Teresa snapped before adding, ” “I thought this was The Real Housewives of New Jersey, not Tales from the Crypt.”
Andy told Teresa not to move off the couch. Teresa wanted to slap Kim D around the stage. Let’s face it, Kim has been vile to everyone.
What did you think of the drama?
The Real Housewives of New Jersey comes to a dramatic conclusion next Wednesday on Bravo!

Margaret Whitton Dies; Major League Actress Was 67
Margaret Whitton, a veteran actress and producer best known for playing the main antagonist in the beloved comedy Major League, died on Sunday in Palm Beach, Florida.
She was 67 years old.
Whitton’s producing partner, Steven Tabakin, confirmed the sad news to Entertainment Weekly.
“Because Margaret kept her brief battle with cancer very private, the news of her death is one of those unexpected twists and turns in the story,” he said in a statement to the publication, adding:
“As you might imagine, Margaret faced her illness with all the grace and wit she brought to every facet of her life.”
The actress was a Philadelphia native who was born on November 30, 1949.
She kicked off her acting career on stage, appearing in 1973 in an off-Broadway production of Baby Goya, which also featured acting great Olympia Dukakis.
After that, Whitton made her Broadway debt in 1982 with Nell Dunn’s Olivier Award-winning comedy Steaming.
But it was Whitton’s role in the 1989 classic Major League that left a lasting imprint on entertainment fans.
She portrayed in the film, an ex-showgirl who inherited the Cleveland Indians and attempted to run the team into the ground in order to force a move to Miami.
Once the team learns of her dastardly plot, players grow inspired to win as often as they can to spite her.
Whitton played a key role in the original movie and again in the 1994 sequel, in which Phelps sought revenge.
Other films on Whitton’s resume included in 9 1/2 Weeks (1986); The Man Without a Face (1993); The Secret of My Success (1987); and Ironweed (1987).
On the television side of things, she starred in Hometown, A Fine Romance, and Good & Evil.
“No one could deliver a one-liner like Margaret,” wrote Tabakin to EW. “No one could be more scathing one minute and more vulnerable the next – she played all the notes. Girls wanna be her.”
Following her acting career, Whitton became president and executive producer of Tashtego Films, serving as a producer and developer.
She is survived by her husband of 23 years, Warren Spector.
“We don’t dare mourn Margaret because she would have a wicked one-liner to snap us back to the curves, the twists, the turns, the joy. Those incredible eyes, that delicious laugh,” Tabakin wrote, concluding:
“But we will remember her always, and how she made the world – and those of us lucky enough to share it with her for a while – just a little bit better.”
We send our condolences to her loved ones.
