'Happy birthday @teresagiudice!' Goldschneider, an author and lawyer by trade. 'Wishing you the best birthday.'

Giudice herself graciously acknowledged the gesture, replying, 'Thank you love you'

In the images, Goldschneider wore a sheer black top with black pants while Giudice donned a gray Chanel cardigan sweater.

A second image showed the ladies at an event with the show's Jennifer Aydin, 47, and Jennifer Fessler, 53. In the third pic, Goldschneider and Giudice matched in black ensembles as they posed at an event with a bar visible in the background.

Bad blood between the reality stars brewed on during the show's 11th season in 2021, as Giudice began gossiping with others that Goldschneider's husband Evan had been unfaithful to her.

Goldschneider told DailyMailTV in 2021: 'She just dislikes me. I think that she just will never like me. And I'm OK with that. I don't need everybody to like me and I think we're very different people. But I do think that she just really has it out for me.'

Giudice eventually apologized to her in an emotional discussion on the Jersey Shore.

Giudice told Goldschneider: 'Listen, Jackie, I didn't like the way things went down yesterday and you know, I'm not trying to hurt you in any way, you or your family. So just, can we just drop everything?'

Goldschneider responded, 'I would like that, I just want it to all be done - but do not bring up my husband anymore.'

On Saturday, as Giudice graciously acknowledged the birthday gesture - 'Thank you love you,' she said - a number of Instagram users questioned why Goldschneider would cozy up to Giudice in the wake of past events depicted on the program.

'Didn’t she call you a stalker… and spread rumors your husband cheated on you?' one user said.

The post included a group shot with Jennifer Aydin, 47, and Jennifer Fessler, 53.

A user predicted, 'It won’t be long until Teresa turns on you again.'

Said one fan: 'To me, bringing up rumors about my husband's supposed infidelity on national television would be unforgivable..... not sure why they have such a close friendship now.

'Thought Jackie was stronger and smarter than this ... too bad.'

Another said they were skeptical of Goldschneider's 'friendship with Teresa,' noting Giudice 'has proven to be so hurtful towards you and your family and you still want to be her bestie.

The user added, 'I do not understand or believe your friendship with Teresa ... friendships must mean different things to people who play out their lives on TV.

Said another user: 'This is a joke! I actually thought you were the smart one of the group!'

One person said Goldschneider's credibility took a hit with the birthday wishes toward Giudice: 'We just don’t trust you anymore that’s all.'

Others suggested Goldschneider's public declaration of goodwill toward Giudice was part of a larger agenda to cement herself in the cast of the series, as she is currently a part-time player on the series, known as a 'friend.'

'Jackie, I know you want to be a main cast member again…but this friendship is not the way,' a user said.

Another added, 'You'll do anything to be back on the show,' while another said the birthday wishes reeked of 'the smell of desperation.'

One fan noted that Goldschneider could be 'laying the foundation for a full time spot' in playing nice with Giudice.
