In the trailer for season 13 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey Jennifer Aydin can be said to see her castmate Margaret Josephs that she “has a family that’s something [she] I’ll never know what it’s like to have it. In a February 2023 interview on the Two Ts In A Pod podcast., hosted by Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alumnus Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, Margaret addressed Aydin’s comment. The fashion designer explained why her son Spencer Josephs and stepchildren are not appearing on RHONJ.

Margaret noted that Spencer, who she shared with her late ex-husband Jan Josephs, doesn’t want to film for the Bravo franchise because he’s “in a very serious career and he doesn’t want the spotlight.” The 55-year-old also shared that he has no social media presence and is not interested in being a reality TV personality.

“Everyone says ‘your kids hate you and duh, duh, duh’ all that nonsense, he’s my biological son, we’re very close, we’re together all the time,” Margaret claimed.

She also shared that she is close to her stepchildren fathered by her ex-husband except for her stepdaughter. She then noted that she has a good relationship with her husband, Joe Benigno’s two children.

“My stepdaughter and I not so good but everyone else all my boys great which makes me happy,” the reality TV personality said.

She went on to say that most of her family members, like Spencer, don’t want to appear on RHONJ or her social media account.

“Everybody hates the camera, we’re so TMI, they don’t want any of that,” the Bravo star explained.

Margaret Josephs spoke about her castmate Teresa Giudice

While speaking to Us Weekly in February 2023, Margaret spoke about her relationship with her castmate Teresa Giudice. As fans know, Giudice had issues with Margaret after mentioning that her husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, was in a video begging an unnamed woman. However, in the first episode of RHONJ Season 13, the Skinny Italian writer decided to try and mend her friendship with Margaret and invited her to their August 2022 wedding.

Margaret shared that she was delighted with Giudice’s gesture. She also revealed that they were in each other’s good graces “for most of the season.” However, the 55-year-old noted that they didn’t get along well.

“I hope she values ​​my opinion, although I think other people are interfering. And she doesn’t always see clearly when others interfere,” explains the fashion designer.

Margaret Josephs shared her thoughts on the new RHONJ cast

Season 13 of RHONJ introduced two new cast members, Rachel Fuda and Danielle Cabral. During the Us Weekly interview, Margaret shared that she was enjoying her new co-stars on RHONJ. However, she suggested that she had problems with Cabral while filming the show’s thirteenth season.

“I think both Rachel and Danielle are a great match. Obviously I prefer one over the other,” Margaret said. “I think everyone will see who this is very soon. I welcome both of them with open arms. Unfortunately, for some reason, I’m turned against, but Rachel, I just love her.”
