RHONJ’s Margaret Josephs Says Teresa is “Dead to [Her],” Admits She Doesn’t Care What Happens to Luis

Margaret Josephs won’t be following in the footsteps of Joe and Melissa Gorga when it comes to their recent reunion with Teresa Giudice.

With the 15th season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey

 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.”

Then, when the host pointed out that what she’s endured on 

The Real Housewives of New Jersey

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

Over the course of its 11 seasons, 

Most fans were furious when The Walking Dead killed off Carl and failed to replace him, which unsurprisingly left a huge hole in the series. Likewise, Glenn’s death sparked a lot of controversy, and while opinions are still split about whether it was the right decision or not, such a brutal exit was always going to cause backlash.

However, despite these peculiar decisions being frustrating several years later, Beth’s exit remains one of the most disappointing Walking Dead deaths after the series spent so much time building her up. She had some great progression, particularly during season 5, and I’m convinced the franchise should have swapped her fate with another high-profile survivor.

Considering Maggie was an extremely important comic character, fans may have responded angrily to her dying on TV, but I believe 

With no source material to restrict her development, The Walking Dead managed to give Beth some of the best progression in the series, but she sadly met her demise in season 5. Having been held inside Grady Memorial Hospital, she was forced to stay there by Dawn, a police officer who led the small community with an iron fist.

After Beth failed to escape several times, Rick’s group eventually found her and bargained to free Maggie’s younger sister. However, she was shot in the head after stabbing Dawn with some scissors, which many fans felt was a complete waste of her development.

Even if the show felt they needed a big death during “Coda”, Beth was the wrong culprit, and killing off Maggie instead would’ve been just as impactful while offering a huge swerve for comic readers. Sure, it would’ve been controversial, but Maggie’s death could have completely reshaped the series, potentially allowing Beth to step into a bigger role.

Likewise, while Glenn’s Walking Dead death may still have happened, seeing him as a grieving widower going down a darker path would have been fascinating. Perhaps the creators felt Maggie was simply too critical to the franchise’s future to die in season 5, but looking back, it feels like there was more to gain by keeping Beth around instead.

It wasn’t too long after losing her sister that Maggie lost her husband Glenn as well, and while her initial arc following his death was promising, it ultimately fizzled out. Understandably, she wanted to avenge the fan favorite’s murder, creating a long-running conflict with Negan, but this also stifled her character progression, which remains a problem today.

Seeing her step up as a leader and taking over Hilltop was exciting, as was watching her develop some more ruthless tendencies. However, despite getting numerous opportunities, Maggie decided not to kill Negan in 

Lauren Cohan has the third most appearances of any 

While this was fun at first, their reluctant partnership has gone on for years, and it has felt like Maggie’s entire arc has been trying to overcome her hatred for Negan since season 9. As a result, the survivor’s story hasn’t really gone anywhere recently, and I can’t help but feel 

During her introduction, Beth was presented as a shy and timid survivor — the type that looked like she’d never last in the apocalypse. This made it all the more satisfying to see her learn how to handle herself while still providing a level of innocent optimism, with the hospital arc really testing her resolve and resilience.

Had she escaped with her life, it would’ve been so interesting to see how her personality shifted after dealing with Dawn, especially if she lost her sister in the process. Rather than wasting 

Her friendship with Daryl would’ve undoubtedly provided some balance, and Beth could have evolved into the ultimate underdog, with many villains completely underestimating her. The idea of this once scared survivor turning into a badass — similar to Carol’s development — would have been a joy to watch, especially if she ended up honoring her sister’s legacy.

It’s still hard to imagine what The Walking Dead would look like without Maggie, given she’s been a focal point on and off for years, but with how much Beth matured throughout the series alongside her limitless potential, I would’ve loved to see her stick around longer.

Season 5’s mid-season finale arguably needed a big, emotional death, and Maggie could have filled that role without wasting all of Beth’s build-up. Seeing Beth stuck inside the hospital for so long, only to be killed off moments before leaving felt agonizingly cruel, and while that may have been the point, it still feels like a divisive decision over a decade later.

Alternatively, Maggie’s death could’ve provided the same shocking payoff, and while viewers may have been angry about a classic comic character being killed off so soon, in hindsight, it wouldn’t have been the worst decision. Seeing Glenn and Beth’s reactions would’ve also made for a brutal moment full of heartbreak that I’m sad we didn’t get.

Considering that Maggie’s character eventually hit a wall, whereas Beth could’ve continued to thrive without any restrictions, I believe the two should’ve swapped fates in The Walking Dead, and for better or worse, this decision would have completely changed the franchise forever.
