About this episode

Margaret Josephs discusses her departure from The Real Housewives of New Jersey and shares insights on her new ventures and experiences.

#962. Margaret Josephs is entering a brand new chapter... and it does not include The Real Housewives of New Jersey . For the first time on Off the Vine, Margaret opens up about her decision to walk away after seven seasons, the behind-the-scenes conversations with Bravo, why she actually went back to film before ultimately deciding to leave for good, and whether she'd ever return. She and Kaitlyn also recap filming Reality Retreat together, share hilarious behind-the-scenes stories from the Dominican Republic, reveal which castmates surprised them the most, and laugh about a few moments they're already nervous to watch back when the show airs. The conversation goes far beyond reality TV as Margaret gets candid about being misunderstood, the lawsuit that changed her multi-million-dollar business, why she joined Housewives in the first place, building new businesses from the ground up, and what's next—including the other television projects she's already working on! It's honest, funny, unfiltered, and packed with behind-the-scenes stories you won't hear anywhere else. Enjoy! If you’re LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below !
