Jacqueline Laurita gave her insider perspective on Sunday's explosive final chapter in the three-part The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion special, in which peripheral cast member Kim DePaola claimed responsibility for the "Strippergate" scandal that shook the Giudice-Gorga family to its' very foundation.

The popular housewife took to Twitter, where she expressed skepticism that Teresa Giudice was more or less an innocent bystander -- as Kim D claims -- in the scandal that implicated her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, as once having worked at a seedy New Jersey strip joint.

On Twitter Sunday, Jacqueline asked, "Why isn't Teresa mad at Kim for destroying her family & still trying to put it on me? Because she wanted it to happen & let Kim take the fall."

Jacqueline wrote the "bottom line is Teresa knew Melissa was the target and said nothing."

Teresa "planted the seed about Melissa being a stripper first," Jacqueline wrote, noting that when she learned of the conspiracy, she tried to warn her friend Melissa via text.
