Real Housewives of New Jersey twins Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano are again dishing to MStars News on more behind-the-scenes action of the staple Bravo franchise. The reality stars came exclusively to MStars to talk about their real thoughts on troublemakers Amber and Jim Marchese, Nicole's tumultuous relationship with Bobby and the always drama-filled reunion.

Throughout this season, there had been a lot of tension between Amber and the twins. Much of that had to do with Amber's vocal and opinioned husband Jim. All the drama started at Nicole's boyfriend Bobby's first responders party. Nicole and Amber got into a physical fight that included tearing each other's hair out.

"It was a really rough season in the beginning," Nicole told MStars exclusively. "One thing I was really upset about through this whole thing, and this is what really hurt me, Amber really thought she got ambushed at Bobby's [party].

"When that went down that was extremely upsetting to me. We went through a lot of really rough times on the show."

Another casualty of the show was the 10-year friendship between Jim and Bobby. Bobby had told Joe Giudice and Joe's brother-in-law Joe Gorga that Jim didn't want to hang around with them because he didn't want to be associated with Teresa Giudice and husband Joe's tax fraud court case.

This led to Jim telling Nicole all about Bobby's alleged extra-curricular activities with other women, including regularly going down to Miami to have an affair with a girl he set up with there in a condominium.

"Those rumors I heard about the person in Florida, I don't' believe that for a second," Nicole said in our exclusive interview. "I've been dating him for over a year and he's never gone down to Florida."

Even with all the strife, Nicole still stands by her man against Jim's unfounded accusations.

"I've never doubted him for a second," she said. "I definitely think Jim made it all up."

Speaking of Jim and his wife Amber, Nicole doesn't mince words when it comes to what she thinks of the reality couple. Nicole had some really interesting things to say about why they wanted to cause so much drama, and it definitely has to do with playing to the cameras.

"I think they came into this experience really wanting to be the head honchos," the RHONJ star said. "They wanted to be stars right out of the gate. They loved the attention and wanted the attention."

It was that need for attention in any way they knew how to get it was one thing Nicole couldn't relate to.

"With me, my integrity meant more than that," she continued. "There were times in the show I really could've hurt people and I chose not to because I have integrity."

Some of the best episodes in Real Housewives history are the reunion shows, where the conflict and hostility are paramount. Next week's Part 1 of the three-part reunion promises to give the audience what they want, but the twins actually came out of it unscathed.

"Yes, there's always drama, there's fighting," said Teresa A. "You see some people who have some remorse.

"My first reunion was a great experience, everyone looked beautiful and Andy Cohen was just awesome. Anything with him is enjoyable."

With all of rumors about their family, the war with the Marcheses and having their lives scrutinized by the public, the twins still loved their first season on the reality show and wouldn't take it back for anything. They're even working on cookbooks and household products.

"It was an experience," Teresa A. said. "The good, the bad, the ugly ... you grow. Anyone who knows me knows I have no regrets in life."

"It's an awesome stepping stone and a great platform," Nicole said. "I've met so many people on Twitter; a little girl with a brain tumor, a woman with cancer. If I can help a handful of people and make a difference in this world, to me, that gives me the most enjoyment and excitement.

"This opportunity has been really amazing for me."
