Melissa Gorga Reveals She’s ‘Prepared’ to Exit ‘RHONJ’ Amid the Show’s Future Being Uncertain: ‘You Can’t Do It Forever’

As speculation mounts about the future of The Real Housewives of New Jersey for season 15, Melissa Gorga is bracing herself for what might come next.

“I am prepared for anything at this point, obviously because of all the rumors that are out there,” Melissa, 45, shared on the Thursday, August 22, episode of the Two T’s in a Pod podcast. “I am fully prepared for anything.”

Throughout the entirety of RHONJ season 14, Melissa and her sister-in-law, Teresa Giudice, maintained a frosty distance, not speaking to each other and even sitting in separate rooms during the season’s finale recap at Rails.

Their ongoing feud has fueled speculation that Bravo might not continue with both women if they refuse to engage on the show. (As usual, the network has not commented on casting decisions before any official announcements are made.)

“I think I would realize that her and I are two extremely different characters, so to speak, on the show,” Melissa told podcast hosts Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp.

“So, if Bravo decides to go that route and kind of, like, the darker route, then I need to say that is not a show that I want to be on anyway.” While Melissa still hopes to remain on RHONJ, she made it clear that she’s tired of the ongoing drama.

“I do not want to be on that toxic s–t. As long as you know she is there and that whole thing would come back, I wouldn’t find it as a loss,” she explained. “I also want to say, like, I’ve had a 14-year run … You can’t do it forever. You don’t go and be on a TV show for 50 [or] 20 years. I mean, I’ve been on for 14 years.”

Melissa continued, “So do I want to come back? Do I hope that they do something a little fresh and new? Of course, I’m not gonna lie to everyone. I do hope that there’s some changes, and I don’t know that I’ll be a part of them. I don’t think anybody knows.”

If Bravo ultimately decides to continue with Teresa, 52, instead of Melissa, she seems at peace with that possibility. “[I’ll] feel like it’s a good time to say ‘It’s time,’” she concluded.

“It’s time to move on,” Melissa said on Thursday. “It’s unhealthy and it’s OK, like, it’s all right. I wish nothing but the best, [and for] everyone [to] enjoy life, enjoy this moment in their lives.”

The future of RHONJ does seem uncertain.
