What happened on Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 episode 12?

On Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 episode 12, Teresa introduced her friends to her attorney, James Leonard. Those in attendance, included Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, Danielle Cabral, Jackie Goldschneider, and Gia Giudice. Initially, the meetup was to expose what Margaret Josephs had been doing to hurt Teresa and her family during the Luis "Louie" Ruelas drama.

James explained that the situation was even worse than when Teresa Giudice went to jail and claimed that it was the first time he had ever seen her that anxious. He added that he would try to neutrally explain the situation and what happened in court to them.

"Listen, I love this family. And I'll do anything I can to continue to help and maybe make others understand what you've all been going through. I think we just present facts, information, and just bring some clarity to the situation," the attorney said.

Meanwhile, the other Real Housewives of New Jersey stars were discussing their plans for the trip. It was revealed at this time that they weren't going on the trip at all, as their "perfect" house had burned down. Jennifer Aydin was relieved to hear the news, as she claimed that it was a sign from the universe since the group was falling apart.

When Margaret found out about the "party," she sent funeral flowers to Teresa, stating that the latter had lost her dignity, which left Teresa furious. She called out each of her friends for going to the "bash party."

The Real Housewives of New Jersey said that it was "disgusting that anybody would go there to listen to an attorney who was trying to bash" her. Margaret added that it wasn't about what was being said about her but about the other Housewives "showing up" to the party to "talk sh*t" about her.

"What kind of person does that? to throw an event just to talk about me with an attorney. Why would anybody even show up?" Margaret stated.
