Amber Marchese said Donald Trump's silence on the Epstein files 'speaks volumes.'

“I’ve supported the MAGA movement from day one. I still believe in what it stands for — putting America first, protecting our children, draining the swamp,” Marchese shared. “But I’ll be honest, Trump’s refusal to release the Epstein files hurt. It felt like a kick in the stomach.”

She went on to note it’s “not a partisan issue,” but rather about getting “justice for victims” and “exposing a network of predators” she feels have been protected “for far too long.”

“Trump had the power to blow the lid off it, and he didn’t,” she said. “That silence and denial speaks volumes.”

Amber Marchese said Jared Kushner and his family are on her 's--- list.'

She then addressed Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner for some of the work he's doing in the Garden State.

“Let me say this: Jared Kushner and his family that run Kushner properties are actively ruining my beautiful rural town of Colts Neck with the ugly monstrosity he’s building,” she said. “He’s a pig developer with zero respect for the community or its history. So at this point, the entire family is on my s--- list.”

Amber Marchese said we need to 'demand better' if we want change.

While she “still believes in the mission” of MAGA, Marchese said it’s important not to “turn a blind eye when our own side fails us.” “If we want real change, we have to demand better — even from the people we once trusted most,” she concluded.

Marchese appeared on Season 6 of RHONJ, departing after just one year on the franchise. She recently spoke to OK! about her new show, City of Honor.
