RHONJ star Jackie Goldschneider has confirmed that in season 13 of the show she will be appearing as a “friend of” the show, instead of a full Housewife.
“When Bravo approached me about casting for season 13, I obviously was very excited to be a part of the show again because I love the show,” Jackie told PEOPLE. “But my recovery was not in the place that I expected it to be. It was moving very slowly. I was still being triggered by stress and I still needed a lot of intense therapy.”
Jackie has been battling health issues and says she is pleased with the reduced role on the show.
“They were so supportive,” she continued. “And even though that was a really tough pill to swallow, and it was hard for me to step back a little bit after having been such a big part of the show for so many years, I really knew that that was probably the best solution.”
One person who will be pleased is Teresa Giudice. Jackie has been gunning for her since the beginning of her time on the show. We will Jackie a speedy recovery!
