A look inside the RHONJ cast’s recent “family dinner.” Find out which stars “weren’t invited” and why. Get all the tea!
At least half of the RHONJ cast remains as “thick as thieves” after filming season 14, so much so that they celebrated the New Year with a “family dinner.”
A majority of the RHONJ cast and their husbands got together for a “family dinner” on Wednesday night at LouLou’s in New York City.
Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Rachel Fuda, Danielle Cabral and Jennifer Fessler were all in attendance along with Frank Catania’s fiancée Brittany Mattessich.
The ladies were also joined by their men – Joe Gorga, Frank Catania, John Fuda, Joe Benigno, Nate Cabral, and Jeff Fessler.
However, RHONJ stars Teresa Giudice, Jennifer Aydin, and Jackie Goldschnieder were not invited to the gathering, per Page Six.
“They weren’t invited,” a source revealed.
Apparently, the ladies of RHONJ didn’t want any “bad vibes” at the dinner, so they didn’t invite certain cast members.
“The group is welcoming 2024 with only good energy,” the insider shared, adding the RHONJ cast dinner was “really fun, positive and joyous.”
“The show was not mentioned one time,” the source noted. “The ladies all got along so well, laughing and chatting throughout the evening. Everyone really enjoyed each other’s company.”
Dolores Catania and her boyfriend, Paul Connell, were invited but “couldn’t make it” to the gathering, according to the insider.
“The guys all sat together at one end of the table while the ladies sat at the other for dinner,” the source added. “Everyone was making toasts and welcoming the new year as a friend group.”
After dinner, the RHONJ crew headed downstairs to watch a burlesque show. They then danced the night away as a group.
