Buckle up Bravoverse because according to Andy Cohen a major casting shakeup is in the works for season 15 of RHONJ. Get all the tea!
Entertainment Tonight’s Brice Sander appeared on the Gabbing With Gib podcast where he reported that Andy Cohen said the zero interactions or communication between RHONJ stars Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, and Margaret Josephs throughout season 14 will NOT work for future seasons of the series.
This can only mean one thing: A casting shakeup for RHONJ will need to happen for season 15.
Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice have been vocal about their lack of interaction and communication throughout season 14 of RHONJ. When it comes to Margaret and Teresa – they haven’t been on speaking terms since the season 12 reunion when Marge accused Teresa and her husband, Louie Ruelas, of going after her adult son at his job.
On a January episode of her PodcastOne podcast, On Display, Melissa Gorga told Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Denise Richards that it was difficult to film season 14 with Teresa Giudice amid their fallout.
“Ugh, you have no idea,” Melissa admitted. “It’s definitely been a roller coaster, up and down, and we’re about to air [Season 14] in the spring, and it’s very, very different. Like, we literally don’t even speak to each other.”
When asked if her husband, Joe Gorga, is on speaking terms with his sister to which the 44-year-old replied, “No, zero.”
That same month, the longtime Bravoleb also teased that, unlike past seasons, season 14 of RHONJ won’t primarily focus on the rocky relationship between Melissa and her husband, Joe, and his sister, Teresa.
“The biggest misconception is that it’s gonna be more drama between me and my sister-in-law,” Melissa told Entertainment Tonight . “We don’t even, like, look at each other.”
When asked at BravoCon 2023 how her and Teresa’s lack of communication changed things for season 14, Melissa said:
“It’s very different from last season… because there’s not a lot of communication, so I think it’s different and better.”
“I think the fans will feel refreshed as well. I mean, weren’t you sick of it?” the 44-year-old asked the crowd before adding, “It’s so much to describe right now, but I think everyone knows where we’re at. Everyone’s reading it. I think it’s, like I said, we’re at a place of peace. I think everyone needs a minute. Everyone needs a break, and there’s just a period on it right now.”
As for Teresa, she told E! News in November that her relationship with Melissa was over for good.
“That chapter’s closed,” the OG New Jersey Housewife declared.
Beyond, Teresa, Margaret, and Melissa, season 14 also stars Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, Danielle Cabral, and Rachel Fuda.
Jackie Goldschenider and Jennifer Fessler are also returning as friends of the Housewives.
