Rachel Fuda wants Teresa Giudice gone from RHONJ amid rumors of a casting shakeup for season 15.
It’s no secret that Rachel Fuda and her husband, John Fuda, have a major beef with Teresa Giudice. This beef stems from the RHONJ season 13 reunion, which is when they accused the OG Housewife and her husband, Louie Ruelas, of hiring a private investigator to dig into John’s shady past and contact his ex, who has been in and out of jail.
Going into season 14 of RHONJ, Rachel and John took shots at Teresa in the press and on social media. Rachel cut Teresa out of the season 14 cast photo when she promoted the new season on Instagram. On the other hand, John called Teresa a “has been.”
During the season 14 premiere, Teresa’s feud with the Fudas intensified when she repeated a rumor claiming that John Fuda was the “biggest drug dealer in Bergen County” at Jennifer Fessler’s birthday party.
The drama between these two Bravo couples is expected to reach a fever pitch throughout season 14.
That said, Rachel hopes she won’t have to deal with Teresa on the Real Housewives of New Jersey much longer despite the OG being the franchise’s longest-running cast member.
While chatting with Distractify, Rachel dubbed Teresa a “bad apple” and insinuated that she’s the one impacting the cast’s relationships.
“I don’t even think it’s a question of if there should be,” she said.
According to the 33-year-old, Bravo should consider bringing “new apples” into the mix for season 15.
“I think it’s needed,” she added.
Andy Cohen recently teased that a major casting shakeup for season 15 is in the works.
A few weeks back, 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.
The Watch What Happens Live host later clarified his comments on Sirius XM’s Andy Cohen Live:
“Want to clear something up or want to add to a comment that I made that has made some news this week and I don’t know when I said it, but apparently, I said it to Brice from Entertainment Tonight, and I don’t know when. I haven’t seen him since BravoCon, I don’t think. Apparently, I told him and it got picked up all over the place that Jersey, the idea of having both Melissa and Theresa on the show, that it’s not sustainable because they’re not speaking and there are kind of two camps on the show. What I want to clarify is that I maintain that statement.”
“It isn’t a sustainable universe to have kind of two camps on the show and I think you see that with Potomac this season and why a lot of viewers, including me, were frustrated with it, but I will say this. It somehow worked this season. We got through the season and it worked and it’s interesting and as I think you see from the trailer, the season is not about Melissa versus Teresa and I think that’s great, yet they’re both still on the show and we want to see them on the show.”
Andy concluded by saying while the divide among the RHONJ cast worked this season – it won’t work in the future:
“They’re both, you know, they’re both stars, and they’ve been on the show, you know, forever, so it worked this season, but I stand by what I’m saying that for the future, it’s not sustainable. I don’t want you to think that what I said was a condemnation on this season.”
RHONJ airs on Sundays at 8 pm on Bravo.
