Two episodes in, it\u2019s clear that season 14 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey<\/em> is Teresa Giudice<\/strong><\/a> vs the Fudas \u2014 and Rachel Fuda<\/strong> told Us Weekly<\/em> that she\u2019s \u201cnot scared\u201d of calling out the OG.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that she has been on this show for so long and it just solidifies her relevancy and her paycheck \u2014 you\u2019re welcome,\u201d Rachel, 33, told Us<\/em> in an exclusive interview on Wednesday, May 15, when asked why Teresa, 51, targeted her and husband John Fuda<\/strong>. \u201cWho else does she have, right? Melissa<\/strong>\u2018s off. Margaret<\/strong>\u2018s off. She\u2019s not going to fight with Dolores<\/strong>. Jen<\/strong>\u2018s so far up her butt, she can\u2019t even see her eyeballs. And then who else do we have? I mean, Jen Fessler<\/strong> is not going to. \u2026 I was the last resort.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the season 13 reunion, things ended on a tense note between Teresa and several costars, namely Rachel\u00a0and Margaret<\/a> amid claims that Teresa\u2019s husband, Louie<\/strong>, hired a private investigator to look into the cast. (Teresa also remains on the outs with sister-in-law Melissa as always.) In the premiere, which aired earlier this month, Teresa alleged at \u201cfriend of\u201d Jen Fessler\u2019s birthday party that John, 37, was the \u201cbiggest drug dealer<\/a> in Bergen County.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLiterally the day before Jen Fessler\u2019s surprise party, there were all of these things leaking all over the other side\u2019s social media accounts. We know the game,\u201d Rachel told Us<\/em>. \u201cSo going into it, I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh, OK, here we go. So that was really my heads-up.’\u201d<\/p>\n

She later added: \u201cThey couldn\u2019t find anything on me. So they went after him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rachel said on the show that John was arrested for pot possession when he was 17.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a joke because we\u2019ve all made mistakes as kids, and if I were to pull anyone from anyone\u2019s past \u2014 we\u2019ve all done things that someone would say are bad or try to weaponize,\u201d Rachel told Us<\/em>. \u201cJohn is not ashamed of anything that he has done or has been through. It\u2019s just unfortunate that that opportunity for him to tell and share his own story was completely taken from him and manipulated into something that it\u2019s not and weaponized against him.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the second episode, Teresa attempted to downplay the accusations, telling Fessler that she was referring to the past and she now thinks John is a good father. (Rachel and John share daughters Giannella, 4, and Giuliana, 2, and she adopted his son Jaiden, 17, from his first marriage.)<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Real Housewives of New Jersey franchise has seen many of its stars leave the world behind over the years \u2014 and Us Weekly is taking a trip down memory lane and checking in on where they are now. OG cast member Caroline Manzo left the show in 2014, and years later, opened up about [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHe is an amazing father. He is an amazing husband. He is a successful businessman. He is all of those things,\u201d Rachel told Us<\/em>. \u201cBut this is manipulation and gaslighting at its peak. This is what she does is we manipulate our fans, our stories.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rachel noted that she once considered Fessler her closest friend on the show: \u201cI threw Jen Fessler a surprise party. \u2026 I was closest with her tenfold. I mean, 14 times a day we were on the phone.\u201d<\/p>\n

That \u201cchanges\u201d during the season, and Rachel hints that she and Margaret are both struggling with Fessler befriending Teresa as she and Louie continue to deny claims about the P.I., including that he contacted Maraget\u2019s son, who has never been featured on the show.<\/p>\n
