Now that Jacqueline Laurita has made her return to Bravo's The Real Housewives of New Jersey, she has opened up about her on-again-off-again friend Teresa Giudice's legal woes more candidly than ever.

Laurita chatted with Bravo Sept. 19 and openly shared her views on what co-star and her husband and four daughters face as they wait to find out how much time (if any) they will spend behind bars after pleading guilty to serious fraud charges.

Laurita revealed that she supported the Giudice family at the wake of Joe Gudice's father, Frank. She also said that while she had reached out Teresa since then, she was never given warm reactions in return.

"We have only had a few exchanges and her responses to my texts were always pleasant but cold, short, and non-engaging. I'm totally OK with that now."

She added that while she does "worry about her and her family," she does not want Teresa to be a part of her close-knit circle of friends at the moment.

"I only want true, caring, supportive friends and real, sincere people in my circle. I still wish her and her family peace and happiness, but I've realized that she doesn't have the qualities of a friend that I want in my life right now. I've let go."

While Teresa might have been short with Laurita in her text messages, she had an emotional reaction to one of them in a recent episode the series.

Check out their exchange below.
