“You know, it was funny because we had a really long talk and it was all on camera and they cut it down to a very small talk, which I get,” she said. “They just wanted to show that ‘OK, so they’re moving on from it all.’ But it was good to see her, and I’m glad we moved on.”
She continued, thanking Bravo for putting them in the same room together and reuniting them, just as she reunited with her sister-in-law, Teresa Giudice, last year. “I always say, like, Bravo does help heal relationships, even with my sister-in-law and I, for so many years that we went through things,” she said.

What happened between Jacqueline Laurita and Melissa Gorga during RHUGT: Roaring 20th?
Jacqueline and Melissa came face to face for the first time in a decade during Episode 7 of RHUGT: Roaring 20th at Lisa Hochstein’s lingerie party, and quickly buried the hatchet and squashed the beef between them. Upon seeing Melissa, Jacqueline said, “I feel like we both have our perception of what happened back then. But honestly, I don’t want to go back there. I’m letting go of all that crap.”
Melissa accepted this apology. “That’s fine. Gimme a hug,” she said in reply.

Andy Cohen opens up about where he stands with Jacqueline Laurita today
Andy Cohen also addressed where he stands with Jacqueline while appearing on the Andy’s Housewives History Lesson panel at Bravo Fan Fest 2026. The Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host admitted that he recently sent Jacqueline a copy of his new book, Andy’s Bravo Scrapbook: Twenty Years Behind the Scenes of the Real Housewives and the Bravoverse. “By the way, I got a DM. I sent Jacqueline the book, and I got a DM from her the other day,” he said, as seen in the video above, before revealing that they are “cool” now.
He also revealed that Jacqueline apologized for not showing up to the “calamitous” RHONJ Season 3 reunion. “We were filming Season 4 while Season 3 was airing, and Jacqueline wouldn’t come out of her house that morning, the morning of the reunion,” he said. “And she was all over Season 4, so the thing that we have now, where you don’t show up to the reunion, you don’t come back.”
