 still up in the air, Margaret, 58, has revealed that she has no interest in making amends with her one-time pal and her husband, Luis Ruelas, 50, confirming that they will “never” be friends and admitting that she doesn’t care “what happens” to her controversial spouse.

“Do you think that you guys will ever be friends?” Margaret was asked on the July 3 episode of the BILF Pod, as seen in a clip shared by 

“Never,” Margaret replied. “I will never acknowledge her again. I will never look at her again. I don’t want to have anything to do with her. Never in a million years.”

Although Margaret is not open to being around Teresa at all, she admitted that she wishes her “no ill [will].”

“She has horrible issues. I pray that she gets out of them for the sake — because I did have a relationship with her at one point. So I don’t want anything bad to happen to her or her daughters or her family,” Margaret explained. “Her husband, I could give two sh*ts what happens to him.”

“[I’ll] never have a relationship with her again. No. Those days — that ship has sailed,” she continued. “By the way, when you’re dead to me, you’re dead. And that’s it. And she’s dead to me.”

While the host argued that she doesn’t move in the same way and prefers to give people second chances, Margaret pointed out that she’d given Teresa “endless chances.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey

 has been on hiatus since the conclusion of its 14th season in August 2024.

The drama surrounding Karen Huger has escalated from the courtroom to financial chaos. Sources reveal that millions in breach-of-contract fines have left the Real Housewives of Potomac star reeling, with networks reportedly refusing to work with her amid the scandal. Insiders say her once-comfortable savings are now depleted, forcing her to consider selling luxury properties just to stay afloat.

Fans remember Karen as the “Grand Dame of Potomac,” but insiders claim the past few months have been anything but glamorous. “She went from red-carpet appearances to financial panic in record time,” a source said. “The fines are crushing, and there’s no backup. Networks don’t want to touch her while the legal issues are unresolved.”

Reports suggest Huger may need to liquidate high-end homes to cover mounting debts. Friends and former cast members say she’s been agonizing over which properties to sell, revealing just how dire her financial situation has become. “It’s heartbreaking to see someone so used to the lap of luxury scrambling just to survive,” one insider said.

With the scandal and fines casting a long shadow, her reality career is reportedly on hold. Producers are allegedly wary of associating with her, fearing negative publicity could jeopardize new projects. “Her star power is still there, but networks don’t want the risk right now,” the source added.

Karen’s next moves are critical. Observers say she’ll need to negotiate settlements, downsize her lifestyle, and rebuild her public image if she hopes to survive financially and professionally. Fans are watching closely, wondering if the “Grande Dame” can reclaim her throne—or if this scandal marks the beginning of her downfall.
