Insider Reveals Bravo Must Choose Between Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga for ‘RHONJ!’
The long-standing feud between Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga has reached a boiling point, prompting Bravo to consider drastic measures for the future of Real Housewives of New Jersey.
According to a source, the network faces a tough decision and “has to pick” either Teresa or Melissa to stay on the show, as most of the current season has been filmed separately to manage the tension.
An insider told Life & Style that the drama between the sisters-in-law has escalated to the point where the network must choose who to let go. “The situation is unsustainable,” said the source.
“Bravo has to pick one. The season 14 reunion was already canceled because these two can’t even be in the same room together. If they can’t film a reunion, how can they possibly handle a new season? The answer is clear — they can’t!”
Another source noted to Us Weekly that the upcoming season won’t undergo a complete cast overhaul like Real Housewives of New York. However, they hinted that cast members from “both sides” of the divide might be fired. “Melissa and Teresa are acting like children,” said the source.
“Their vendetta against each other is more important to them than the show. If they’re not careful, they both might get the boot!”
According to Jackie Goldschneider, Margaret Josephs has significantly contributed to the team mentality within the cast, treating the series like a competition show. “Most stars are either Team Melissa or Team Teresa,” she noted.
A Bravo spokesperson added, “It is clear from the finale this cast is not, and may never be, ready for resolution. The network is looking at a different concept to wrap the season.”
Addressing the swirling rumors of a cast shakeup, Andy Cohen shared with ET, “There was a bunch of casting news about Jersey that was reported today. None of it is true. No decisions have been made. We haven’t even had any serious conversations about next season, so anything you read about what Jersey’s gonna be for next season for the next, I would say six months, is fake, so don’t believe it.”
However, ‘friend’ Jenn Fessler acknowledged that changes are likely on the horizon. “I am not privy to what goes on at Bravo and in the inner workings of the Bravo brains, but definitely, like every other person who’s a viewer, I think, things are changing,” she expressed. “I’m very well aware of the fact that things in Jersey are changing, things are shifting. The hows of it, the whens, the whys? I don’t know.”
As the future of Real Housewives of New Jersey hangs in the balance, fans eagerly await Bravo’s next move in resolving the ongoing feud and determining the cast’s fate.
