Was Bravo’s decision to demote Jackie Goldschneider on RHONJ justified?
Yes, Jackie Goldschneider was indeed demoted to a friend role on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. This was confirmed by Frank Catania, who mentioned having dinner with Jackie and her husband Evan, where he learned about her demotion.
Initially, Jackie Goldschneider denied that she would be a friend of the wives and claimed that nobody knew her status on the show. However, she later opened up about her new role, admitting that it was initially a blow to her ego. Nevertheless, she eventually embraced her new position and stated that there was no real difference in her job.
Despite the demotion, Jackie Goldschneider expressed that she loved being a part of the show and wanted to stay involved. She admitted that it was initially challenging to be in a room where she was no longer the center of attention, but once she embraced her new role and set aside her ego, she considered it to be one of her best seasons. She continued to actively participate in scenes, move the story along, give her opinions, and was present for all cast events and trips.
