  • REPORT: RHONJ Producers Are “Having a Hard Time” Finding the Right Cast for Season 15 After Test Filming Fails

    The Real Housewives of New Jersey still has no season 15 cast.

    After season 14 concluded with a major divide among the women, some of whom were Team Teresa Giudice, 53, and others of whom sided with Melissa Gorga, 46, in their since-ended feud, an insider has revealed that producers are “having a hard time” finding the right group of housewives and have brought in a new third-party team to interview potential newbies.

    “Previous producers have been having a hard time finding the right cast and fit,” an insider told Us Weekly on January 13. “They didn’t like the newcomers who were test filming last year in August.”

    According to the report, the casting team is searching for a diverse group of women from all different parts of the Garden State.

    “They are going full speed ahead with casting over the next month and a half,” the source shared. “The current cast could have answers if they’re coming back to the show in the next couple of months.”

    As RHONJ fans will recall, Jackie Goldschneider, 49, and Jennifer Aydin, 48, who announced her exit from the series in October, sided with Teresa amid season 14, and Margaret Josephs, 58, Danielle Cabral, 40, and Rachel Fuda, 34, remained loyal to Melissa. Meanwhile, Dolores Catania, 54, who will be featured as a “friend” on the debut season of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, and Jennifer Fessler, 55, did their best to stay in the middle.

    As for who could possibly return, that’s apparently up in the air for everyone.

    “None of the current cast members know yet if they are coming back [for season 15],” the insider continued. “Producers could recast the whole show.”

    Following reports of test filming between Melissa, Margaret, Dolores, and potential newbies in August 2025, Teresa reconciled with Melissa and her brother, Joe Gorga, 51, and ultimately celebrated Christmas together.

    While there have been rumors swirling in regard to a potential cancellation of the series, Andy Cohen, 57, confirmed last June on The View that that was not the case.

    “It was really on a deep pause, and we are actively there casting and looking at the future of what that will be,” he said. “It’s a great franchise, and we love it. I just have to reiterate that.”

  • REPORT: ‘RHONJ’ Season 15 to Return With 4 Cast Members as 3 Are Fired and Newbies Are Added, Plus Update on Jackie & Jennifer and When Filming Will Begin

    The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast has reportedly undergone some major changes ahead of its upcoming 15th season.

    Over a year after the 14th season concluded with Teresa Giudice, 53, and Melissa Gorga, 46, estranged, and the rest of the cast divided, a new report suggests that only four cast members will return as three others are fired, and a number of newbies are added to film the new episodes.

    “Just got word that Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, and Margaret Josephs have officially been tapped to film test scenes with a batch of potential new housewives in the next few weeks. Producers are setting up one on one or small group shoot sessions (think pairings like Dolores + Margaret, Dolores + Melissa, Margaret + Melissa, and Teresa + Dolores),” Bravo and Cocktails revealed to its readers on August 19.

    That means Jennifer Aydin, 48, Danielle Cabral, 39, and Rachel Fuda, 34, have not been asked back.

    “With potentially newbies mostly locked in, it’s now all about capturing compelling footage, watching the chemistry, and deciding which pairings (or singles) stand out. The plan is to unveil the returning vets at BravoCon in November, but it’s unclear if the newbies will be revealed alongside them,” the report continued. 

    As for when filming on season 15 could potentially begin, it was noted that production was hoping to include fall and winter holidays, including Halloween.

    “[It’s] perfect timing for giving the show that classic Jersey charm,” the outlet stated. 

    In addition to sharing that the final four could change before the cast is set in stone, Bravo and Cocktails also revealed that the fates of Jackie Goldschneider, 48, and Jennifer Fessler, 56, are up in the air.

    “Jen Fessler and Jackie Goldschneider have yet to be invited to film, though they could easily be slotted in last-minute if producers decide to bring one (or both) back into the mix. Of the two, execs are leaning more towards Jen Fessler at this time,” it noted.

    The report comes just days after Joe Gorga, 50, told fans at Dolores’ charity softball game that he and his family would be coming “back,” and after Margaret hinted at her comeback on Instagram.

  • Jacqueline Laurita Recalls the Time Andy Cohen Got Involved Behind-the-Scenes During RHONJ Filming, Melissa Gorga Leaking Text, and Her Biggest Regret, Plus Shades Show as “Toxic,” & Shares Why Teresa Giudice Hasn’t Reconciled With Kathy Wakile

    Jacqueline Laurita Recalls the Time Andy Cohen Got Involved Behind-the-Scenes During RHONJ Filming, Melissa Gorga Leaking Text, and Her Biggest Regret, Plus Shades Show as “Toxic,” & Shares Why Teresa Giudice Hasn’t Reconciled With Kathy Wakile

    Jacqueline Laurita opened up about the inner workings of production on The Real Housewives of New Jersey while appearing on a podcast last week.

    As she admitted the show has gotten “toxic,” shared who she believes should return for season 15, and explained why she believes Teresa Giudice, 52, and Kathy Wakile, 58, haven’t yet reconciled, Jacqueline, 54, looked back on Melissa Gorga‘s text leak, revealed her biggest regret, and answered a question about how involved Andy Cohen, 56, is with filming.

    “He’s not involved at all,” Jacqueline shared on the September 10 episode of the AllAboutTRH podcast.

    That said, Jacqueline noted that people can reach out to production, and vice versa.

    “He’ll get involved when the producers can’t handle you. Or if someone’s really having an issue, they can reach out to him … I remember I got a call one time because I wasn’t doing what they wanted me to do and I think it was when Nick was regressing and they wanted Nick to do a playdate with Audriana,” she recalled of an incident with her son, who has since been diagnosed with autism. “He was doing funny things on camera that I was trying to hide and I didn’t feel comfortable … I yelled at everyone. I had all the executives on the phone, Andy, I was telling them to go f*ck themselves. I was so mad.”

    Although Jacqueline hasn’t been seen on the series since its seventh season, she was a hot topic at the season 13 reunion, when Melissa, 45, leaked a text she sent to Jackie Goldschneider, 47. As fans will recall, Jacqueline had spoken negatively about Teresa in the message, calling her a “low life trash bucket.” However, looking back at the incident, Jacqueline said she thought it was “funny” since it didn’t actually impact her friendship with Teresa.

    “I thought the text was funny because I thought it was irrelevant because those texts were written two years prior to Teresa and I making up, when we hated each other, so I didn’t get the importance of it,” she explained. “At the time, I was always saying things publicly, privately, on Instagram, on my podcast, I was saying stuff like that because we didn’t like each other.”

    “Melissa lied and said they were more recent but there was a timestamp on them from two years prior to my making up with Teresa,” Jacqueline continued. “I’m like, ‘What’s your point? Why are you bringing up a text when we didn’t like each other? You have texts like that to me too.’”

    After confirming that Teresa “didn’t care” about the text message, Jacqueline shared what happened when she confronted Melissa about it.

    “I’m like, ‘Why would you do that? I’m just wondering why you would do that. Luckily it didn’t cause a problem with Teresa and I but I just don’t understand what was your purpose in doing that,’” she revealed. “And then she tried to act like in writing, I don’t know if she was sitting or whatever, she was like, ‘You’re the one that unsolicitedly texted me.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh really? Did you forget you were texting and calling me?’ I think she didn’t realize I’m the type of person to save my text messages so I started sending her text messages where she was talking about Teresa, [Dolores Catania], and whatever, and her saying she was calling me and all this stuff. And her response was like, ‘Leave me alone.’ [So] I just left her alone cuz I don’t care. Whatever she was trying to do didn’t work.”

    Also, looking back at her time on the show, Jacqueline said her biggest regret was “trusting the wrong people” and “taking things so personally.”

    “I should’ve kept it like some of the other girls do on the show: They come on, and they entertain, and then they don’t bring it home. I think I took everything very personally … So I would seriously get hurt by things that would happen and things people would say and do. I took everything to heart when I should’ve treated it like a business,” she reasoned.

    While Jacqueline said RHONJ was “toxic” when she was on it years ago, she also said she felt like it’s “gotten worse” in the years since.

    “And now there’s the definite teams,” she noted. “We didn’t even get to see who Rachel Fuda was because she spent the whole season being angry at Teresa and refused to film with her.

    According to Jacqueline, she believes Melissa and those close to her were trying to “ice” Teresa out amid season 14.

    “I think what their plan was, ‘Let’s all stick together and ice Teresa out and show them how great we are over here as a team so you’ll get rid of Teresa.’ They were doing that but it might backfire on them,” she warned. “I think if they were to remove Teresa from the show, they really couldn’t keep anyone from the cast either. I think they would have to rehire an entirely new cast.”

    As producers reportedly put the series on hold until 2025, Jacqueline hopes Bravo realizes that Teresa deserves the title of longest-standing RHONJ housewife

    “I think she’s earned it. Nobody else deserves that thought, especially not Melissa, with her stale storylines,” Jacqueline stated. “I don’t think she deserves that title over Teresa. The show is centered around Teresa since the beginning, she’s always been the face of the show. She’s the network’s moneymaker. There will never be anyone else like Teresa. She’s one of a kind. She’s always active in her life, so she always brings new, authentic storylines to every season. She’s unpredictable, she’s reactive, and she shows many aspects of her personality and her struggles.”

    After praising Teresa for all that she’s given to the show over the years, Jacqueline said she’d like to see some new faces on season 15.

    “I would probably be looking to cast new younger faces with young families, maybe someone with a big following who already has experienced some fame or notoriety,” she shared. “I would obviously keep Teresa and maybe I would keep a couple of the new familiar faces on the show like [Danielle Cabral] and Rachel because I think they have more story to tell that we haven’t seen yet and they can be funny. I think Dolores is a good narrator and gives us good insight into the inner workings of the group and she has this ability to remain neutral so I think she’s good for the show at least in some capacity, where maybe her storyline isn’t as strong but the way she can navigate the group and tell how the group thinks I think keeps her strong. And she’s very likable … and then maybe a sidebar where Kathy and [Rosie Pierri] come in to reconnect with Teresa. That might be fun to see.”

    Of Teresa’s potential reconciliation with Kathy, Jacqueline said it was something she’d like to see before explaining Teresa’s hesitancy.

    “I think it’s really hard for Teresa to get over her coming on the show and I think she gets offended by the way — [Richie Wakile]’s sense of humor, he likes to poke and take jabs, and I think she gets offended by it,” she noted. “She said she would say ‘hello’ to her so maybe that’s the first step.”

    “Kathy to me is way more sincere and she honestly didn’t go on the show to go after Teresa. I didn’t get that vibe from her. I think she reacted out of frustration to some of the things that would go on between them,” she continued.

    As for Melissa’s role in Teresa’s falling out with Kathy, Jacqueline said Melissa was “absolutely” in Kathy’s ear.

    “And then she just flipped on her and totally ignored her. Just like she did with me when I left,” Jacqueline shared. “Melissa didn’t even call me. She didn’t keep in touch with me at all until she heard I was coming back on the show.”

  • Jacqueline Laurita Addresses Caroline Writing Letter of Support for Tommy Manzo, Danielle Cabral Unfollowing Caroline After Joining RHONJ, and Slams “Pathetic” Jackie Goldschneider, Plus Shades Margaret Josephs for Playing Dirty and Says Show is No Longer “Fun to Watch”

    Jacqueline Laurita reacted to Caroline Manzo‘s support of Tommy Manzo during a podcast appearance last week, months after Tommy was found guilty of hiring a hit man to assault ex-wife Dina Manzo‘s now-husband, Dave Cantin.

    While also sharing her thoughts on Danielle Cabral, 39, unfollowing Caroline, 63, her aunt, after being cast on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and shading Jackie Goldschneider, 47, and Margaret Josephs, 57, for their behavior on the show, Jacqueline, 54, described the Bravo series as “toxic” and weighed in on Caroline being a character witness for Tommy, 59.

    “I’m happy the truth finally came out and justice will be served. It just was so disturbing and scary,” Jacqueline began on the September 10 episode of the AllAboutTRH podcast.

    As for the involvement of both Caroline and Dolores Catania, 53, Jacqueline said she had no idea what their letters said — or if they actually existed.

    “I did hear from the grapevine that they were character witnesses for Tommy because I know at the time, Caroline and Dolores were close with Tommy and not so much Dina. And they hadn’t been in contact with Dina in a really long time,” she noted. “Tommy is Caroline’s husband’s brother. So, I could imagine that it put her in an awkward position. And I don’t think either of them truly believed that Tommy would be capable of this. I think they thought it came from someone else, maybe Dina’s husband’s ex’s family [the one that he left for Dina].”

    “I’m sure they’re shocked and disappointed about it. I haven’t discussed this with either of them … because it’s so deep. But I can’t imagine, that’s Caroline’s brother and then her mother-in-law’s son. I’m sure she’s angry,” Jacqueline continued.

    While Jacqueline acknowledged that Caroline and Dina “aren’t close,” she said she “would’ve opted to stay out of” the court case.

    Moving on to Danielle unfollowing Caroline after landing a role on RHONJ, Jacqueline, whose brother-in-law’s ex-wife is married to Danielle’s father, admitted she didn’t understand why she would do that.

    “What happened there?” she wondered. “Caroline helped her. She was, like, kind of suggesting her for the show and everything. I had heard she got in an argument with her brother’s wife because she didn’t take her wedding dress shopping with her. That’s the only thing I’ve heard. But I don’t know what that has to do with Caroline.”

    As for Jackie’s newfound friendship with Teresa Giudice, 52, Jacqueline didn’t have anything good to say about Jackie — especially after she shared private texts between them with Melissa Gorga, who went public with the texts at the RHONJ season 13 reunion.

    “She’s pathetic to me, sorry. I just think that was sh*tty. I just think she’s so desperate and pathetic. I think she’s trying to hold onto her position so she’s doing that,” Jacqueline suspected. “For me, I [was] just like, ‘We were good and I don’t understand why you did that.’”

    Jacqueline then noted that Teresa “thinks they’ve transpired into a real friendship.”

    “Which, maybe, because Jackie was acting out because of what was said on camera and that she was upset about her husband [Evan Goldschneider] cheating. So I understood why Jackie was upset at the time. So if Teresa can let that go, that’s on her,” Jacqueline reasoned.

    According to Jacqueline, she had an experience with Jackie that was similar to that of Margaret, who had said Jackie constantly sent her stuff about Teresa.

    “Why would you put mine out there without putting yours out there?” she asked Jackie.

    Continuing on about Margaret, Jacqueline said she initially thought Margaret was “good for the show.”

    “I thought she was witty and stuff like that. But Margaret, I don’t know … I think there’s obviously a lot behind the scenes going on and being talked about and stuff like that. People will say something for shock value,” she explained. “And I think Margaret likes to keep things in her back pocket to use against people for things, and it is a dirty game to play.”

    Then, when Margaret calling Jennifer Aydin, 47, a drug addict and exposing Bill Aydin‘s affair were mentioned, Jacqueline admitted that can stick with a person.

    “People will tend to believe it [even] if it’s not true. [But] I think they all kind of do that. They go after each other because it’s like, ‘Let me talk about you, take the heat off me.’ I feel like they all kind of take jabs at each other,” she stated. “It’s gotten very toxic to watch. It’s not fun to watch anymore. It’s too tense and deep and dark.”

    The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently on pause ahead of its 15th season.

  • Tamra Judge Claims She Was Told Danielle Cabral Allegedly “Beat Up” Her Brother’s Wife, and This is Why She and Brother Are No Longer Speaking as Melissa Gorga Reacts

    Tamra Judge Claims She Was Told Danielle Cabral Allegedly “Beat Up” Her Brother’s Wife, and This is Why She and Brother Are No Longer Speaking as Melissa Gorga Reacts

    Tamra Judge claimed she was told that Danielle Cabral allegedly “beat up” her brother’s wife, and this is the reason she’s no longer communicating with her brother. Danielle’s castmate Melissa Gorga then reacted.

    During season 13 of Real Housewives of New Jersey, Danielle spoke often about her estranged relationship with her brother, seemingly hinting that it was triggered when she blocked him on social media after he made fun of her. She also suggested that her sister-in-law was somehow involved.

    In the latest season, Danielle revealed that she also wasn’t speaking to her father based on how he handled Danielle’s drama with her brother. The situation confused many fans.

    Speaking on the Two Ts In A Pod podcast, host Teddi Mellencamp said the show spends too much time talking about Danielle’s drama with her brother and father – without sharing many details about what actually happened.

    “I could actually have rage. Like give me the freakin’ juice or don’t,” said Teddi.

    “Don’t talk about your dad if he’s not gonna be on the show,” added Tamra, Teddi’s co-host.

    Melissa eventually chimed in.

    “As far as her brother goes, I’m not gonna lie, I also had plenty of questions. I was confused,” recalled Melissa. “There’s two sides to every story, and then there’s the truth.”

    Tamra interjected to share an allegation.

    “I had somebody reach out to me and say, ‘I know why Danielle doesn’t talk to her brother,’” said Tamra. “And I didn’t respond to this person at all, and she went on to tell me that Danielle beat up her brother’s wife allegedly.”

    “Yeah, we heard that,” said Teddi.

    “What!?” Melissa responded. “This I have never heard … I promise you it’s a first. Look at Tamra, breaking – the first time I’ve ever ever heard anything like it.”

    Tamra clarified that she didn’t know if the allegation was true.

    The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently on hiatus, and no one knows if it will return for another season. According to a report, the show will get a cast shakeup at the very least.

    Margaret Josephs opened up about her communication with Luis Ruelas‘ ex-girlfriend, Vanessa Reiser, while appearing on Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp‘s podcast on Wednesday.

    While also explaining why she’ll never show proof of Teresa Giudice‘s husband contacting her son and reacting to Luis, 50, wishing suffering upon him, the 57-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star addressed claims of hypocrisy, shared her thoughts on Danielle Cabral, 38, doubling down against Jennifer Aydin, 47, and confirmed her husband Joe Benigno‘s cancer diagnosis.

    After being asked if she ever met with Vanessa on the August 14 episode of Two Ts in a Pod, Margaret revealed, “No.”

    “But I got Vanessa’s phone number. Her attorney asked her to reach out to all of us after the Bo Dietl thing. She had a very big thing happening there. I then called her when I found out about that burn party. I was like, ‘I want to talk to your attorney. Is there something I should know about that came up in the case?’” she explained, noting that she wasn’t named in the case but received a subpoena in 2021.

    Because Margaret has claimed to have proof that Luis reached out to her son at work, many have wondered why she won’t share it.

    “He is a private citizen. He wants nothing to do with this show. I am very protective of my children. They’ve never been on the show. I don’t call them by name,” Margaret shared, adding that Bravo wouldn’t let her talk about the issue as a fact if they hadn’t seen the proof themselves.

    “They saw the proof of it. They know it to be true. They know everything to be factual. I don’t need to prove it to the rest of the world what it is. I’m not gonna do that. It would be inappropriate,” she reasoned. “I think what validates it [even more] to be true is his behavior when he would even mention my child.”

    “It’s horrible,” she continued. “For someone who has never mentioned their children … would I ever bring this up and make up a story like this when I’ve been so protective for, at that point, six years, never have even said that I have a biological child? Does that make any sense?”

    Although some have said that it was hypocritical for Margaret to take offense to Luis’ actions against her son when she told Jennifer that children are “resilient” after exposing Bill Aydin‘s affair, she pointed out that Bill’s infidelity wasn’t going to ruin Jennifer’s kids lives.

    “They’ve come together. They’re a wonderful couple. I don’t even get along with Jennifer anymore because of other things that have since happened but Bill’s a wonderful father, they know their father’s loving. They’ve seen their parents work it out and that’s why I said they’re resilient,” she explained. “[Luis is] actually wishing harm on my family. It’s actually dangerous. Because unfortunately, he is igniting, you know, there are sick people in this world and they can have fans that are… and that can be igniting people to do very harmful things.”

    “Why even bring that up? Why even bring up my child?” she wondered.

    Looking back at filming on the RHONJ finale watch party, which aired as an alternative to the canceled reunion, Margaret said she and her castmates filmed for “most of the day.”

    “I wish you would’ve seen more confessional because we all had much longer confessionals,” she shared.

    As for the future of the show, Margaret admitted she doesn’t know where the series goes from here.

    “It changes every day. I feel like I don’t know. I really don’t know. Sometimes I think, the bonds, you saw our room was so happy. We don’t need all happy but we can argue and make up,” she noted.

    Then, when asked about Danielle doubling down against Jennifer, stating that her only regret about their fight was “not killing” her, Margaret admitted she wished Danielle “didn’t say that.”

    “I was like, ‘Danielle, that’s Staten Island,’ cuz I really love Danielle but I think she realized so many things when she was so upset … I think it all came into her head that Jennifer was the one putting those things out online about her. Everything became a reality to her. Like, ’They were never my friends. They were doing these horrible things.’ I think it just like, overwhelmed her,” Margaret explained.

    Also, on the podcast, Margaret confirmed her husband Joe has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, sharing that because his cancer is in the “very early stages,” he only has to get checked every four or five months.

    “[They] do genomic testing now and his is very slow growing, like 97%. So they treat it now with active surveillance,” she revealed. “They don’t do any treatment unless it changes and his has not changed at all so we’re lucky.”

    Melissa Gorga Addresses the Future of RHONJ Cast After Dramatic Finale as Costars React, Plus See Promo for Reunion Special as Jenn Fessler Refuses to Sit in “Room” of “Snakes”

    Melissa Gorga, Rachel Fuda and other Real Housewives of New Jersey castmates hinted that the current cast can’t go forward as it is, following the dramatic season finale – which seemingly closed the chapter on this specific group. Around the same time, a promo gave insight into how the upcoming reunion special will go down, with Jennifer Fessler declaring that she won’t film with a “room” of “snakes.”

    Amid the cast divide, Bravo decided to film the opposing sides separately in an ‘alternate’ reunion without host Andy Cohen, as castmates watched back the intense finale. Since the season wrapped, reports have indicated that the current cast will either be completely replaced or get a major overhaul.  

    In an interview for BravoTV, Teresa Giudice said the show isn’t supposed to be about “cutting people out” and having “teams,” which is “so high-schoolish.”

    Melissa in her own interview addressed the future of RHONJ.

    “I don’t know where the group goes from here but … I wouldn’t take anything back,” said Melissa, via @therealhousewiveszone on Instagram. “At the end of the day, I fight for my family and my husband and my kids and what’s morally right.” The star said she wants to be around people that “want to see [her] thrive.” And if they don’t wish her well, it’s time to “remove them” from her life.

    Rachel declared that the “multi-million-dollar question” is “where do we go from here” as a group. She doesn’t know “if there can be a next chapter” with “this group of women.”

    Jackie answered, “I don’t think the group as it is goes anywhere from here,” but added that there are “some good people” in the group who are “open to resolutions” and a “good time,” and know how to have “petty” fights. According to Jackie, if you “build around” those people, there can be a “great show.”

    Danielle said there’s “no going back” after what was “done this year.”

    Even Fessler said she doesn’t believe a group reconciliation is “in the cards.”

    Meanwhile, Bravo dropped a promo for the upcoming alternate reunion.

    In the video, shared by @queensofbravo on Instagram, an announcer said the cast will have “the ultimate sit-down” at The Rails as they watch the finale.

    In one clip, Dolores expressed that she didn’t “want to see this part,” and called the actions of one castmate “wrong.”

    During another moment in Margaret and Melissa’s camp, Fessler was standing near the table saying, “I don’t have to sit in a room like this with snakes.”

    At one point, Margaret called a certain scene “disgusting,” and Teresa seemingly told Dolores to stop “stick[ing] up” for someone.

    The reunion special airs next Sunday night on Bravo.

    Melissa Gorga is seen chatting with her castmates about Luis Ruelas on the finale episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, revealing that they’ve been contacted by more than the ex-girlfriends of Teresa Giudice‘s husband.

    In a sneak peek, Danielle Cabral, 38, is seen informing Melissa, 45, and Rachel Fuda, 33, that Teresa, 52, had recently called a meeting in which she put Margaret Josephs, 57, on blast for trying to take her and Luis down with the help of his ex.

    “This has been something Teresa has been wanting to say and get off her chest for a long time. What happened was, she had her lawyer [James J. Leonard, Jr.] there and we were all sitting around. [Gia Giudice] was also there. What they were trying to tell us was they have evidence that Margaret has been trying to hurt Teresa and Luis, talking to the ex, trying to get the information about Luis out through Margaret,” Danielle shares.

    “This woman was reaching out to all of us,” Melissa replies.

    Then, in a cast confessional, Melissa recalls an alleged run-in with Luis’ niece, who offered a warning to her about her sister-in-law’s spouse.

    “Luis’ ex — and not just Luis’ ex — Luis’ like, anybody who was ever in his life has sent DMs, certified letters, hell, I went to a restaurant down the shore and his niece walked up to me. She was like, ‘Hi, I am Luis’ niece from his first wife and I just want to tell you, ‘Be very afraid,’” she stated.

    Back in the scene with the cast, Danielle says that Teresa has lost weight, and seems to be just “90 pounds soaking wet.”

    But Rachel alleges, “She’s 90 pounds soaking wet cuz she’s on Ozempic, not cuz she’s upset.”

    Still, Danielle continues, “Teresa is distraught. Teresa is like a shell of the person she was last year because, in the house, there’s not a lot of calm. There’s not a lot of stability.”

    This season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is a bit all over the place. The cast is divided, the ratings are down, and there won’t be a traditional reunion.

    However, people are still talking as not only was there recently a fight between Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral, but Teresa Giudice also openly said that she was using Jackie Goldschneider during a recent episode. Recently, a fan on social media asked Jackie how she felt, and she seemingly supported Tre in the situation.

    Jackie has been a full-time cast member on RHONJ since season nine. However, her friendship with Teresa is newly mended, and many fans and other cast members have called this into question. Previously, she was close to Margaret Josephs and Melissa Gorga, but they have since fallen out. Not only are fans questioning Jackie’s friendship with Teresa, but some are now also questioning her intelligence.

    Recently, the Instagram account Bravo and Cocktails caught wind of a fan asking Jackie how she felt when Teresa said, “Who cares about Jackie? I just need her to take down Margaret.”

    Jackie responded to the fan and basically said that Teresa made the comments early in their friendship, so she didn’t hold them against her. The account posted the encounter with the caption, “Guys. Jackie defending all the crap Teresa said about her.”

    “How did you feel when you heard Teresa say she was just using you in last w show? Did it hurt you or was it expected?” the fan asked Jackie.

    Jackie responded: “It was at the beginning of our relationship. I knew it was strategic at first.”

    Besides the harsh comments Teresa made about Jackie in the recent episode, people also question their friendship because they had a very public falling out during season 11. Teresa even references them as being on bad terms in a confessional when she said she was using her. However, it is possible for people to mend things, and it’s also unclear when Teresa actually filmed the scene where she talked about her relationship with Jackie. 

    Do you think Jackie and Teresa’s friendship is real, or is it still strategic?

  • Danielle Cabral Addresses Status With Jennifer Aydin After RHONJ Fight as She Claims “Violence is Never the Answer” and Says “Lies Spread Like Wildfire”

    Danielle Cabral is addressing her status with Jennifer Aydin after their fight on Real Housewives of New Jersey.

    Danielle claimed they “sat back in silence” for a year as the “lies spread like wildfire,” and she called herself the “LAST person you wanna mess with.”

    At a ‘Tipsy in Tulum’-themed party – which took place last year but just recently aired – Danielle and Jennifer got into it over a story about Danielle’s hairstylist. Jennifer claimed she agreed to model for the stylist for a masterclass, but Danielle later called her to complain that no one was getting paid for it. Jennifer, who didn’t care about the money, suggested the phone call was upsetting because it showed how Danielle treats people.

    Danielle denied this, and she eventually got in Jennifer’s face. Jennifer pushed her back before Danielle threw a drink at her.

    “It’s really hard for me to say that I’ll miss her all that much,” wrote Danielle in the caption of a June 25 Instagram post, presumably about Jennifer. “But as they say on Broadway, the show must go on.”

    “For a year, we sat back in silence as the lies spread like wildfire,” she went on. “Hit after hit – lie after lie. But we held onto our truth and knew our day was coming – ‘The lies are always loud. The truth is always silent.’ Silence is powerful.”

    She then seemed to address how the fight got physical.

    “Violence is never the answer. However, in all fairness, I did say the LAST person you wanna mess with is meeeeeeeee….” she said. “Trust me when I tell you, Tulum was the tip of the iceberg.”

    When news of the fight broke last September, both stars were reportedly put on long-term suspension as Bravo investigated. Another report claimed Jennifer was left “bruised” and “bleeding” after the incident.

    “Jennifer pushed Danielle during the argument and Danielle retaliated by crumpling her plastic cup and hurling it towards Jennifer’s face, drawing blood,” said an insider to Page Six at the time.

    “Jennifer only pushed Danielle because Danielle got in her face,” said a different source.

  • RHONJ’s Danielle Cabral Opens Up About Fallout With Jen Aydin and Slams Her as a “Complete [Animal],” Says She & Teresa Are “Not [My] People” as Margaret and Rachel Weigh in, Plus Jackie Suggests Marge is to Blame for Danielle & Jen Fight

    RHONJ’s Danielle Cabral Opens Up About Fallout With Jen Aydin and Slams Her as a “Complete [Animal],” Says She & Teresa Are “Not [My] People” as Margaret and Rachel Weigh in, Plus Jackie Suggests Marge is to Blame for Danielle & Jen Fight

    Credit: Instagram

    Danielle Cabral took aim at Jennifer Aydin following the latest episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, which featured a physical altercation between them.

    After Jennifer, 47, pushed Danielle, 38, and Danielle reacted by throwing a glass at her, Danielle labeled her castmate an “[animal]” as she shaded her and Teresa Giudice, 52, and Rachel Fuda, 33, Margaret Josephs, 57, and Jackie Goldschneider, 47, weighed in on the falling out.

    “I did not expect it to change so drastically going in this year. I felt very confident with my friendships. I didn’t have anything on the bingo card. I was gonna just saunter in, eat the food, drink the drinks, and it didn’t happen like that for me,” Danielle admitted in a digital original video shared by Bravo. “For me, it was more like I took a backseat and I let people show me their true colors. So I navigated those waters my personal way.”

    According to Danielle, when she began to see a different side of Jennifer, she “immediately took 10 steps back.”

    “It sucked at the beginning because I was like, ‘Didn’t you just come to my son’s communion and like give me a really big check and weren’t we good?’ And then we were not,” she recalled. “Some people are just complete animals. And I’m talking really for Jen because there’s still stuff that I need to clear out with Teresa, that we’ve not talked about.”

    “Those are not my people,” she added.

    Then, after Rachel noted that Danielle “has a great heart,” she suspected that her castmate simply “associated with the wrong people,” and Margaret seemed to agree.

    “I’m good friends with Danielle now. I think she saw the true colors of Jennifer and Teresa, that they weren’t really her friend, [and] that they had set her up last year,” Margaret stated.

    As for Jackie, she seemed to think it was Margaret who was the problem.

    “I think that Margaret convinced a lot of people that there were teams and they needed to pick a side and get on that side if they wanted to stay in this friend group, and I think Danielle and Rachel picked Margaret because there were more people on that team,” she shared. “I think it’s ridiculous. I never had a fight with Danielle. I never had a fight with Rachel. I never had a fight with Melissa. We had like, petty words but nothing that would make, like completely end, like close the door on any kind of friendship but that’s what happened.”

    “I think Margaret demanded blind loyalty and nobody felt like they could continue a friendship with anybody else,” she added.

    The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • ‘RHONJ’ Star Rachel Fuda Says Jennifer and Danielle’s Fight Was “Pre-Contrived,” Calls Jackie “Laughing Stock of Bravo,” and Explains ‘Has Been’ Comment to Teresa, Plus Talks Reunion Envelope and Jackie’s Text About Dolores

    ‘RHONJ’ Star Rachel Fuda Says Jennifer and Danielle’s Fight Was “Pre-Contrived,” Calls Jackie “Laughing Stock of Bravo,” and Explains ‘Has Been’ Comment to Teresa, Plus Talks Reunion Envelope and Jackie’s Text About Dolores

    Rachel Fuda appeared on Sunday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, where she suggested that Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral‘s fight was pre-planned.

    After the ladies came to blows on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Rachel, 33, weighed in on the altercation and shaded both Jackie Goldschneider, 47, and Teresa Giudice, 52, while also explaining her “has been” comment about Teresa, addressing John Fuda‘s reunion envelope, and reacting to Jackie’s leaked text about Dolores Catania, 53.

    “Can we think of anything that’s more pre-contrived in all of that?” Rachel wondered of Jennifer and Danielle’s fight on the June 23 episode of WWHL. “These girls come into this season with a plan and they execute. And that was the execution of a plan that happened before cameras even picked up.”

    Looking back at last Sunday’s episode of WWHL, Andy Cohen, 56, confirmed he hinted to Jackie that Teresa had thrown shade about their friendship, which she did on Sunday’s RHONJ by suggesting she only befriended Jackie to get gossip about Margaret Josephs, 57.

    “She’s the laughing stock of Bravo right now because she just got played. Jackie just got played like a fiddle,” Rachel said of the dig. “She’s posting happy birthday posts and Teresa’s sitting there like, ‘Well, she better do what I say.’”

    In addition to Teresa seemingly faking her friendship with Jackie, Rachel also felt she wasn’t being real when she apologized to John, 36, for bringing up his past.

    “Am I in the Twilight Zone? Is any of it authentic? No,” Rachel stated. “Do you think she really sends a bottle to say, ‘I miss you guys?’”

    “She said on this show that it was [Luis Ruelas]’ idea,” Andy noted of Teresa’s housewarming gift for Melissa and Joe Gorga.

    “It was James Leonard,” Rachel replied, giving a nod to Teresa’s family lawyer.

    As for saying Teresa was a “has been,” Rachel explained what she meant.

    “I totally get [she’s booked and busy]. And I don’t mean her career is a has been. In my opinion, this is up for her. She needs a next chapter. Like, let’s move on,” Rachel shared. “She’s almost too famous to be here. I kinda feel like sometimes where it’s, like, let’s move on to something else. It doesn’t make sense anymore.”

    While the contents of John’s season 13 reunion envelope have never been revealed, Rachel confirmed it contained enough information that she “could’ve wallpapered my 13,000-square-foot house with it.”

    Andy then asked Rachel about Danielle saying she was closer with Teresa and Jennifer, 47, than her and Melissa, 45.

    “There’s really no surprise there. Danielle and I, most recently have been getting really close but at that time, I would say that that’s actually true,” she revealed.

    Regarding why it was okay for her and John to mention Teresa’s jail time but not okay for Teresa to bring up John’s past, Rachel stated, “Because she threw out the first punch, as she always says, right?”

    Moving on to Jackie’s diss against Dolores, who she slammed as a “slob” in a text sent to Margaret, Rachel described the rude message as “so intentional” before reacting to Dolores seeming done with Jackie.

    “Was Dolores ever in it with Jackie to begin with?” she asked.

    During a game of “Can! You! Defend!?,” Rachel was asked if she could defend Margaret for showing Jackie’s text to Dolores.

    “I can’t defend it,” she admitted.

    Rachel also couldn’t defend Margaret for uncovering Bill Aydin‘s affair, asking, “I plead the fifth?” But she said she could defend her pre-reunion meeting.

    “Absolutely. Luis hired a private investigator. Hell yeah, I was [there],” she declared.

    Also on WWHL, Rachel offered an update on her two-year-old daughter, Giuliana.

    “[She’s] amazing. She’s still in therapy. She’s in PT, speech, and feeding therapy. But she’s speaking her little sentences, and walking, running, dancing, the whole thing,” she gushed.

  • RHONJ Recap: John Calls Teresa “Poster Child for Mortgage Fraud” as Their Meeting Goes Awry, Paul Snaps at Dolores Over Questions About His Divorce, Plus Jen Aydin Shares How Teresa Feels About Her Friendship With Melissa

    RHONJ Recap: John Calls Teresa “Poster Child for Mortgage Fraud” as Their Meeting Goes Awry, Paul Snaps at Dolores Over Questions About His Divorce, Plus Jen Aydin Shares How Teresa Feels About Her Friendship With Melissa

    On this episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Paul gets defensive about his divorce timeline when Dolores presses him about a proposal.  Danielle‘s New York Fashion Week debut is a success, but the same cannot be said about the meeting between the Ruelas and Fudas. Insults were slung and apologies were considered inauthentic.  Where do they all go from here?

    Melissa talks about how she is stuck at home with all boys now that Antonia has gone off to college. Luckily, Antonia keeps in touch and after FaceTiming with her, Melissa talks to Joe about the “dramatic” boujie brunch over at Danielle’s. Melissa laughs about alliances switching, but little does she know that Jackie is currently over TERESA’S  house! Are pigs flying? To say those two have had a bumpy past is an understatement, but Jackie wants to be surrounded by “nice people” who make her happy, and so she’s landed on Teresa. Go figure…

    Jackie lets Teresa know that Margaret seems angry and it seems like Teresa is just happy to see Jackie hating on Margaret.  Teresa explains that she just wanted Jackie to learn how to speak up for herself.  Jackie continues to kiss Teresa’s a*s and tells her that she is just up for a drama free friendship, which is quite the opposite of what went down at the infamous brunch. Jackie wonders how Teresa stayed so calm as Rachel came after her, amping her new bestie, Tre, up even more.

    Margaret is in Charleston for a birthday party, but FaceTimes Rachel to recap the brunch.  Rachel explains that she got into it with Teresa and John walks in to be a part of the conversation.  Rachel pointed out that Teresa tried to weaponize John’s past and mock his line of work.  To that, Margaret responds, “Isn’t her [Teresa’s] husband unemployed and mooches off of her?”  Touché, Marge.

    Paulie and Dolores head out for dinner and she talks to him about one day being engaged. However, Dolores doesn’t even want to think about that next step until Paul’s divorce is finalized.  Paul gets snippy with Dolores and asks her if she truly believes he would get divorced one day and then the next minute get down on his knee to propose to her as if to let her know that will NOT be the case.

    Dolores calls Paul out for saying he would get divorced last year, since it seems like he “can solve world peace before” he gets divorced.  Paul wonders if Dolores doesn’t think he is telling the truth and Dolores threatens that she may rethink their relationship one day.  Paul tells Dolores she should think about it sooner than later and if she isn’t happy about their situation, maybe she should make a change.  Ouch.

    Danielle is sweating this NYFW show for Boujie Kids. She is excited that Melissa will be there to support her, but her mom will not be there since she is traveling. Danielle’s godmother will be present and she is happy to have SOME family there, even though her dad was not invited, since it would stress her out too much.

    Margaret is happy to participate in a first responders charity, since giving back is so important to her.  It’s a daytime golf outing where all her besties will be handing out Soiree to the golfers. Rachel, Dolores, Melissa, and Lexi are there to support.  Melissa is looking forward to her upcoming housewarming party and warns them all that she invited Jackie…and Jennifer Aydin, because they DID say they were going to be moving forward after their lunch date.

    Meanwhile the Jens (Fessler and Aydin) meet up for some margaritas.  Jen Aydin explains that she is on a clean slate with Melissa and is taking what she can get with her. Jen Fessler wonders how Teresa is feeling about Aydin becoming friends with Melissa.  Jen Aydin feels like what is best for her is letting go of hostility, but has yet to tell Tre she is going to be attending Melissa’s housewarming party (cuz she is scared??).

    In her confessional, Jen Aydin admits that while Teresa says her new friendship with Melissa doesn’t bother her, it must “sting” for Teresa to see Jen Aydin moving forward with Melissa.

    Fessler explains she is having a similar situation as Jen, as she is becoming friendly with Teresa, which is p*ssing off a crew of her pals.  The love/hate relationships are exhausting.  Jen Aydin is adamant that she did not set Danielle up, but knows Danielle is p*ssed at her for having Lina spill.  Jen goes on to explain that Teresa and Rachel got hot, but Rachel is the who didn’t keep her cool.

    Speaking of the argument, the golfing girls discuss the brunch and Rachel says she has too much going on to say any more about the pettiness with Teresa. Dolores jumps in to talk about the recent convo she had with Paul about his divorce.  Marge shares that she got divorced a week after getting divorced, so what’s Paulie’s deal? According to Paul, he is building a future with Dolores by getting into business with her…which doesn’t necessarily sound like something Dolores would be into.

    It’s Danielle’s big fashion show day and Melissa is so thrilled for her new friend.  The show goes by in a flash and Danielle is thrilled that her dream has actually come true.

    In the meantime, Louie wants to talk to John and put aside their differences.  John is looking for a proper apology from Teresa since she called him a drug dealer AND a parking attendant.  Teresa, on the other hand, can’t believe that John would have the “balls” to demand an apology from her.  Rachel is stuck on Teresa’s intention of bringing up the drug dealer past and John feels like Louie likes to know everyone’s secrets because he is a narcissist and accuses others of what HE is. Louie tells Teresa he “feeds two wolves every day” and it’s only a matter of time to see which one will come to the table with the Fudas. WTF.

    The time has come.  The Fudas have set up a private room for this meeting with Louie and Teresa.  They get right down to business and Teresa begins by bringing a gift for Joe for his housewarming.  She would like the Fudas to deliver it.  John states he is trying to clear the air with Tre because he respects her brother, Joe.  Teresa feels like she never had a problem with the Fudas and insinuates that because Rachel is close to Melissa, she can’t get a fair shake.  John wants to know why Teresa would go out and call him a drug dealer, and Teresa apologizes for making it seem like he was presently dealing.

    John tries to redirect the conversation and continues to demand an apology (which, by the way Teresa already gave him).  John knows that Teresa took that information about his past from a criminal who manufactured crystal meth (who also happens to be his son, Jayden’s, birthmother). Messy, messy.  John doesn’t feel like the apology Teresa gave him was “authentic,” but when Teresa asks for an apology as well, John tells her this is not a tit for tat kind of situation.

    Teresa goes off claiming the Fudas threw the first punch and John shuts her down.  He states, “Here’s how it’s gonna go” and goes on to say that he (again)  doesn’t find Teresa’s initial apology authentic.  Teresa stands by the fact that John brought up Louie’s name first and even Louie tries to get Tre to settle down enough to keep the situation calm.

    When John gets more of what he doesn’t want to hear and less of what he does what to hear, he leaves with Rachel (but not before grabbing the housewarming gift for Joe).  Tre calls him “John Fugazi” and he responds with, “You’re the poster child for mortgage fraud.” John walks away from Teresa’s threats saying he loves a good fight …and when he needs his money laundered, he will call Tre.  To be continued…

    RHONJ Recap: Margaret Slams Jackie as a “Disgrace,” Guest Spills the Tea on Danielle, & Rachel & Jen Clear the Air, Plus Melissa Sees Daughter Off to College

    What’s a better way to celebrate Memorial Day weekend than with the ladies of The Real Housewives of New Jersey? Some call it the kick off to summer, but for these ladies, summer is well underway and so are the grudges and alliances.  Rachel and Margaret aren’t quite sure what to do with Jen Fessler since it seems as though she is getting closer to Teresa. Dolores holds her annual charity softball game, bringing everyone together amidst all the drama.  What could possibly go wrong?!

    After a lovely motorcycle ride with her hubby, Joe, the Marge opens up to him about how everyone in the friend group is seemingly losing their marbles.  She is mad that Jackie didn’t give her a copy of her new book, but did give one to Jen Fessler and Melissa(who, according to Margaret, doesn’t even read).  Margaret goes on to say how lousy of a friend Jackie has been to her, since she didn’t even touch base on the one-year anniversary of Jan’s death. Margaret hasn’t quite moved past losing Jan and wishes that she had support from her friend.

    Rachel explains that she hasn’t heard from Jen Fessler since they left the shore, so she has asked her out to chat about where they should go from here.  At the restaurant, they get right down to it. Rachel starts to get choked up explaining her angle and tells Jen that she feels hurt by her.  Jen doesn’t really understand why a 32 year old woman could be this upset about this, and I mean, rightly so. Jen clarifies that when she sat down with Teresa, it was NOT about Rachel.  But once the convo did turn to the Fudas, Jen “advocated” for them, and to Jen, that seems like a victory.

    Rachel is still disappointed by Jen’s behavior, but Jen makes it clear that she isn’t Margaret, heading into situations ready to fight, blind with loyalty. Jen is still unsure why Rachel is so mad at her and Rachel claims that she is “mourning the loss of what their friendship used to be.” Jen eventually tells Rachel, “you know where my heart is,” essentially ending their beef.

    The subject changes to Jennifer Aydin’s dog party.  Rachel is not ready to jump into a situation like that and Jen is actually happy that her friend will be absent from the event because now she can be herself around “the enemies.”

    Things must be pretty tough for Jen Aydin if she is hosting a birthday party for Biscuit, her new dog. This is what it has come down to for her. Dolores brings one of her ten dogs and Olivia, Jen’s daughter, is just happy to say b*tch over and over, since it is technically a noun for a female dog.

    It’s quite the crew at this party. We have Teresa and Gia, who is apparently auditioning to be part of RHONJ by sitting at the big girls’ table. Speaking of Gia, no she is not engaged yet, but her boyfriend does work with Louie.  Jackie and Dolores are there, and of course, so is Jen Fessler.  There’s a dog fashion show and Biscuit takes the crown.

    There’s also a rando friend there named Lina, who happens to be a hairdresser for some of the women in the group.  Lina is spilling the tea about Danielle‘s “incident” at a charity event.  Apparently, Lina did Danielle’s hair, but when Lina was asked to leave the event, Danielle did not jump in to help her.  According to Jen, things have been brewing with Danielle that people in the group may not know about and Jen is LOVING that she is bringing all Danielle’s sh*t to light.

    Jen then shares that she did invite Margaret and Teresa muses what dog Joe would bring: Margaret of his real dog?  Ouch.  This does not get one chuckle, which is shocking.  It’s then brought up that Rachel is not here because of Teresa. Messy Fessy spills the beans and tells the group that Rachel felt betrayed by Jen when she hugged Teresa.  Dolores sits there in absolute confusion watching these friendships take major turns.  Dolores feels like she is in the Twilight Zone, especially when it comes to Jackie and Teresa, since a year ago, Jackie wanted nothing to do with Teresa.

    Even though she was essentially told to stay out of it by Rachel, Jen Fessler is hopeful that Louie and John can talk and Dolores suggests that they talk at her upcoming charity softball game. Dolores needs those men to be civil at the event and she recommends that they talk before the game.

    Watching Antonia move into the dorms at my alma mater, the University of Delaware, brings back all the feels.  We learn that Antonia will be rooming with her long-time friend and Joe has of course gotten some help moving the ladies in.  Joe swears he took a page out of Louie’s book and has hired investigators to follow Antonia everywhere (lol) and it’s an emotional moment watching them say goodbye to their daughter.

    Later, Danielle talks about her upcoming New York fashion week show.  No family will be attending the event and Danielle is bummed that she cannot share this big moment in her life with special people.  Danielle’s feud with her brother has really upset her, but she prefers the new family that brings her joy.

    It’s the day of Dolores’s softball game and almost 4,000 people will be in attendance.  Dolores realizes that she is putting everyone in the group in a “pressure cooker,” but alas, it’s for a good cause. Dolores is excited to show Paul her success on the day of the charity game, but it’s going to be hard to keep the peace.  Melissa is still p*ssed at Jen about spreading rumors on cameras last season and she says it feels like even now Jen is trying to find reasons to stay mad at her.

    Once in the locker room, the fighting begins.  Danielle asks Jackie, “Who invited you to Jen’s puppy party?” and Jackie schools her when she says the only one who doesn’t like her is Danielle. Jackie says that she has been friends with Jen since 2018, so why wouldn’t she be invited? Jackie points out that she was the only one not invited to Danielle’s party and is annoyed that Margaret is not taking her side in this moment.

    Marge asks Jackie what she has ever did for her and goes on to point out that she didn’t even call her on the one-year anniversary of Jan’s death. Jackie is tired of feeling like part of Margaret’s entourage and therefore, she did not give Marge a copy of her book. Jackie storms off and Margaret lets her know that she is ‘self-centered’…and also a “disgrace.”

    Adding to the tension, it’s beyond awkward when the Gorgas and Teresa’s fam roll in pretty much together.  But all of that gets pushed aside as this game is for a good call.  This year, Dolores is playing for her friend Guerdy, who is battling breast cancer.  All are pretty involved, except for Rachel, as her RA flare up is getting worse.

    Jackie tells Teresa, Jen, and Fessler that she can be friends with whoever she wants to be friends with.  But once again, Jen Fessler is stuck in the middle.  When Marge looks over and sees Jen all up in that group, she goes off on Jen, letting her know that she doesn’t like that she’s associating with those people.  Jen says if people are nice to her she is nice to them, but Marge claims she can’t “connect with people” who behave like Jen.

    Joe reports that he had a happy talk with Bill, and Jen feels like it looks as though Bill doesn’t respect him.  It feels like Jen forgets why she is mad at Melissa, particularly when Melissa invites her to a shit-down in hopes of clearing the air and Jen agrees.

    In the end, RHONJ wins by 1 and over $200,000 was raised.  It was a great night, so long as no one paid attention to all the drama that was unfolding between the ladies…

  • RHONJ Recap: Margaret Confronts Jen Fessler Over Sit-Down With Teresa & Accuses Her of Speaking Poorly About Luis as Rachel Cries and Questions Her Loyalty, Plus Joe Celebrates His Birthday

    RHONJ Recap: Margaret Confronts Jen Fessler Over Sit-Down With Teresa & Accuses Her of Speaking Poorly About Luis as Rachel Cries and Questions Her Loyalty, Plus Joe Celebrates His Birthday

    RHONJ Recap: Teresa Preps to Send Gabriella Off to College; Joe Invites the Aydin's to His Party; Plus, Rachel Questions Jen Fessler's Loyalty After Her Sit-Down With Teresa

    The take-away from this episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey seems to be loyalty.  And even if someone says they aren’t going to tell you not to be friends with someone, they will still be mad at you IF you choose to be friends with that person.

    Just ask Rachel.  After seeing Jen Fessler “cozying up” with Teresa, she is questioning their friendship.  Plus, a college-bound Gabriella keeps Teresa out of the mix, as she was home prepping to send her off to school.  Good thing, because it’s not like she would have been invited to Missy G’s Italian birthday party for Joe anyway…

    We’re still down at the Jersey Shore and the houses are still very much divided into what seems to be teams, minus the few who can ride the fence.  This is just fine in theory, but in reality, the friendships get muddied, causing more drama than necessary…but we will get back to that later.  The Fuda house has prepared a stunning spread of muffins to serve their guests, but not much gets eaten (thank goodness, cuz not much was offered) before John begins questioning Jen Fessler.

    John is confused why Jen would even entertain Teresa the night before, particularly since Teresa has been nothing but sh*tty to Rachel and her family. Jen tries to calmly explain what her motive was when it came to talking to Teresa and admits that it was about Teresa learning she said the group did “not execute the plan” they discussed at the reunion. Jen justifies the sit-down with the enemy by stating she doesn’t have any beef with Teresa and Louie, and with that, the music literally stops as Rachel reminds us that not so long ago, Jen didn’t even want to be in the same ROOM as Teresa and Louie.

    Jen tries to act like a hero for making Teresa clarify the John as a drug dealer rumor, but Rachel is irritated.  She thought she could count on Jen to be on her side when it came to Teresa.

    It’s perfect weather for Joe’s Italian-themed party to celebrate his last year in his forties. Margaret tells Joe and Melissa that Dolores is staying at Jennifer’s house and now that Teresa went home to take Gabriella to college, that leaves Jen alone since she (obviously) is not invited to the Gorga party. Dolores is feeling a little awkward, but she will be in attendance anyway.  Melissa claims that Jen instigates some stuff, on top of being ridiculously loyal to Teresa, but she is unsure what Jen’s problem is with her, since last year she def tried to hurt Melissa.

    Over a Turkish breakfast at Jen’s shore house, they discuss Nate’s celebration of life party and Bill is finally out of surgery (lol). Jen talks about how Melissa has been avoiding her and so Dolores suggests that Jen talk to Melissa about it.  Jen reminds her that she has historically always been the one to apologize and move on.  She’s getting tired of it.

    As a way to extend an olive branch (and since he knows Teresa is tied up at home), Joe decides that he will call Bill up to invite him to the party.  Bill kindly declines, as the wives are still not in a great place and it has been bothering Jen a lot.  Bill reports back to Jen, who finally feels like Bill has her back…after quite a few seasons of him being wishy-washy. Jen states that she doesn’t need an apology and feels like Joe is simply trying to put a band aid on the bigger issues.

    Gabriella is heading to college in 3 days and the best part about this segment is Juicy Joe mocking Teresa’s hello on FaceTime.  All of the girls are in tears until Louie walks in with their drink orders. We learn that Joe is not helping pay for college, so it lands on Teresa…and Louie. It’s crazy how much all of the dorter’s voices sound exactly the same and it’s also surprising to actually hear Gabriella speak- this is the most we’ve ever heard her talk in 14 seasons.

    After the moving trucks come to take Gabriella’s things away, Teresa and Louie sit down to recap the night before. Teresa can hardly believe that John Fuda is mad because he thought she meant he was the biggest drug dealer now. Teresa laughs about John thinking he’s the God Father and Louie calls him one “ugly mother f*cker.”  Teresa thanks Louie for handling everything with grace and for respecting the evening for what it was meant to be.

    Later, Dolores kisses Jenifer goodbye and she heads to the Italian festival, I mean Joe’s party. Marge Senior is in attendance along with Kayla and Jamie…one of the new couples that keeps getting added into the mix.  John arrives with a blow up doll gift for Joe, but instead of making Melissa laugh, she is more grossed out by it.  Frank is back on our screens-praise be- and Jackie is there, feeling out of place, especially since Danielle purposely excluded her from Nate’s party.

    As the men sit around, John claims he is getting attacked on multiple levels over baseless rumors and all I have to say is, thank goodness for Frank.  He breaks the tension and asks John about the double-headed d*ldo rumor, which causes the men to erupt in laughter, rather than aggression.

    Rachel learns through Margaret that Joe called Bill to invite them to the party and that Bill declined, due to the rift between Melissa and Jennifer.  Speaking of rifts, Rachel doesn’t understand why Jen Fessler is fighting her fight, especially after she let Jen into her life.  Margaret doesn’t like that Jen and Teresa were giggling in the corner, and she wants to sit and talk with Jen to figure it out.

    It’s Gabriella’s farewell party and so Teresa has decided to host a party at a restaurant that her friend of 30 years manages. It’s so nice to see all of the dorters come together, especially Milania and Gabriella, who are 16 months apart.  Teresa seems like she’s gonna be lost without this one…

    In the meantime, they’re busy doing a*s shots out of a blow up doll at Missy G’s while Jennifer and her daughter play boardwalk games.  The juxtaposition is hilarious. As the Italian themed party wears on, Frank talks to Dolores and Paul about proposing to Brittany while he is in Costa Rica.  Dolores gives her blessing and understands that Frank is more ready to be a husband now than he was years ago.

    Marge, Jen, and Rachel finally get together and the whole Teresa convo is immediately addressed.  Margaret states, “I’m dying to hear about your chit chat” with Teresa. Jen tries to explain that Teresa was mad because Teresa heard that Jen was talking about the reunion plan. Rachel and Margaret do not believe that Jen owes Teresa any explanation.  Jen refuses to admit that she speaks “poorly about Louie incessantly.” And Jackie plops down, inserts herself, and wonders why Margaret is getting worked up about Louie.  Margaret is not expecting Jen to fight Teresa, but she doesn’t need to have her head up Teresa’s a*s.

    Jen and Margaret begin to yell back and forth and Rachel reminds Jen that she essentially thought she was a ride or die.  Jen lets Margaret and Rachel know, “I ain’t your solider,” which takes them back, and then follows that up with, “I’ve got you, but I’m not gonna be you,” which you know does not sit well with Rachel.  Rachel tearfully explains that she loves and values Jen, but is confused why Jen would want to befriend someone that is trying to hurt her family.  Before storming off, Margaret tells Jen,“ It’s weird [that you’re choosing to be friends with Teresa] because you knew us first and you f*cking just met this girl,” yet Jen remains adamant that she is a good friend to Margaret and Rachel.

    Margaret and Rachel fill Danielle in on what just went down.  Rachel keeps saying how hard it is to look her best friend in the eye because she has befriend Teresa.  She feels like she is being attacked by her best friend and keeps saying she doesn’t want to tell Jen not to be friends with Teresa…buuut she kinda is.

    According to Rachel, Danielle does a good job of receiving information that Rachel says about Teresa (who happens to be Danielle’s buddy) and Danielle can see that it doesn’t seem like Jen is showing very much loyalty to Rachel.  Jen leaves the party, but it’s interesting because she’s supposed to be sleeping at Rachel’s house that night…so that might awkward.  The Gorgas have a wholesome family photo shoot before singing HBD to Joe.  Just your typical Jersey party for the books.

  • ‘RHONJ”s Jennifer Aydin And Danielle Cabral Temporarily Suspended From Filming After Altercation

    ‘RHONJ”s Jennifer Aydin And Danielle Cabral Temporarily Suspended From Filming After Altercation

    Even when “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” cameras stop rolling, there’s drama going on in real-life.

    Both Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral have been temporarily suspended from filming the reality series’ upcoming 14th season while the network and producers investigate an altercation than went down between the two.

    The altercation reportedly got physical after Aydin and Cabral got into a heated confrontation while attending an event hosted by their co-star Teresa Giudice last week, Page Six reports.

    The outlet received conflicting information from sources, with one claiming Aydin pushed Cabral, to which Cabral allegedly hit back by throwing a drink at her. Another source claimed that Aydin only pushed Cabral after she aggressively got in Aydin’s face.

    Though the “RHONJ” co-stars seemed to get along well upon Cabral joining the cast on the most recent, turbulent season 13, it’s unclear what caused their relationship to turn sour. However, a source told Page Six that the two started to bud heads while shooting the forthcoming 14th season.

    This isn’t the first time a heated drink-throwing altercation has occurred between “RHONJ” cast members. Lat year, during BravoCon, Aydin threw her drink at Melissa Gorga’s team and her husband Joe, which was captured in a viral video.

    Back in May, ET learned that the fate of the new season was in question.

    After an explosive season 13 finale, a source close to production said at the time that filming for season 14 had been “halted” due to “cast conflicts” and production “needs to assess and figure it all out.”

    It’s unclear how this incident, and the suspension of Aydin and Cabral, will impact production on the rest of the planned season.
