Throughout her time practicing, Dolores worked with Bill, a renowned plastic surgeon, before Jennifer joined the cast in Season 9. “I just knew him,” she said on the Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino podcast about working with Bill. “I would assist him in surgery.

Despite Jennifer arguing with Margaret and Jackie Goldschneider multiple times, Dolores seemingly had her back.

The mother of two told her not to cry about her husband’s infidelity coming to light on national TV. Jennifer said the exchange made her question their friendship. “She claims to defend me — and she does in real life, she really does defend me,” she said of Dolores on Access Hollywood’s Housewives Nightcap.

And Jen just said, blatantly, 'I will be your friend on the show, but we are not friends outside of the show. I don’t feel you stuck up for me enough.' That was the bottom line. That’s what she told Dolores. And I said, 'Dolores, can I say that?' She said yes.” The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.AdvertisementMore from Distractify Former ‘RHONJ’ Star Danielle Staub’s Net Worth Drastically Changed After She Got Divorced Dolores Catania's Ex, David Principe, Reportedly Has a New Girlfriend Viewers Are Still Rooting for Dolores and Frank Catania to Get Back Together on 'RHONJ' Latest The Real Housewives of New Jersey News and UpdatesAdvertisementABOUT DistractifyAbout UsPrivacy PolicyTerms of UseDMCASitemapCONNECT with DistractifyLink to Facebook Link to TwitterLink to InstagramContact us by Email Copyright 2022 Distractify.
