Bravo FIRES 3 ‘RHONJ’ Stars – Find Out Who’s Out, Who’s In, and Teresa’s Spinoff Plans!
Bravo just shook up The Real Housewives of New Jersey in a major way—three stars have been fired, one cast member was deemed “too difficult,” and Teresa Giudice is already eyeing her next big move.
Bravo is reportedly keeping only three cast members from Season 14—Melissa Gorga, Teresa Giudice, and Dolores Catania—while the rest of the women are being let go, according to OK! Magazine. With tensions still running high between Teresa and Melissa, insiders say the network may be steering Teresa toward her own spinoff.
“The other women—Margaret Josephs, Danielle Cabral, and Rachel Fuda—were not given retention notices, and, at this time, Bravo is not pursuing them for RHONJ or any other side projects,” an insider revealed. Rachel was reportedly a strong contender to return, but her husband, John Fuda, allegedly became a major factor in Bravo’s decision to move on without her. “Bravo found her husband difficult to deal with behind the scenes and didn’t feel it was worth the headache,” the source claimed.
Meanwhile, Melissa’s spot on the show remains solid, largely due to the network’s appreciation for her husband, Joe Gorga.
“Bravo loves the dynamic her husband brings to the show,” the insider added. “They find him funny and think viewers enjoy watching him do shots and interact with the other men. This isn’t something they wanted to let go of just yet.” Although Melissa, Teresa, and Dolores will continue with Bravo, it’s looking more and more likely that Teresa’s future could be separate from RHONJ.
“As far as where the women will wind up at this point, it’s looking likely RHONJ will be led by Melissa and Dolores, and Teresa will be given a spinoff,” the source shared. “While fans may still want to see both Melissa and Teresa on RHONJ, there just isn’t a world where that has any chance of happening due to where things stood last season and continue to stand today.”
Jennifer Aydin’s status has been in question ever since reports surfaced that she was not invited back following her controversial involvement with Jersey Mike’s. Sources say she is not part of Bravo’s plans for the franchise.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Bravo, but with major changes ahead, its future remains unclear.
