The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 7 is set to begin production in November, but Bravo has yet to make firm announcements regarding casting. E! News is reporting that Traci Lynn Johnson, wife of retired Giants’ baller, Tiki Barber, is no longer in talks to join the show.
“It just didn’t work out,” an E! News source revealed.
Which can mean so many things, maybe she wasn’t bringing the drama or wanted too much money. Sources are saying that Melissa Gorga and Jacqueline Laurita will return, and of course, Teresa Giudice, upon her release from Danbury (if her parole officer allows it).
In talks now is Siggy Flicker, relationship expert, matchmaker, and new author of “Write Your Own Fairytale: New Rules for Dating and Relationships and Finding Love on Your Own Terms.” Here is a quote from Siggy’s blog:
“Siggy’s own love story is just as unique as her methods. Siggy met and married Mark Flicker, and after eight years of marriage and 2 children, Siggy and Mark chose to get divorced without acrimony and recriminations. It was the first “Divorce Done Right.” There were no lawyers, no bitter arguments and no traumatized children.”
Won’t she be fun to have around! Just think of all the good advice she’ll have for the other castmates. There have been other considerations by producers, Hala Kerik, wife of former NYC police commissioner, Bernard Kerik, and Amber Sabathia, wife of Yankees pitcher C.C. Sabathia. The three-part special of Teresa Checks In begins on Sunday, October 11.
