Teresa Giudice, Dolores Catania, and Rachel Fuda are expected to be the three sole full-time cast members of The Real Housewives of New Jersey who will be asked to return to the series for season 15.
Following the cancelation of the season 14 reunion, and rumors of a potential cast shakeup, a series of new reports have shared details about the alleged season 15 cast, which will reportedly also include “friend” Jennifer Fessler, 53.
Radar Online shared the news with its readers on June 11, suggesting that the upcoming cast lineup would not include Melissa Gorga, 45, Margaret Josephs, 57, Jennifer Fessler, 47, and Jackie Goldschneider, 47.
As RHONJ fans may have seen, Andy Cohen, 56, addressed reboot rumors earlier this month on SiriusXM Radio’s Reality Checked.
“There was a lot of play with that one and I think the answer is, I was talking to a cast member about this today. We are gonna cross next season as that comes,” he stated. “Right now, we’re just kind of focusing on, ‘OK, well if we’re not doing a conventional reunion, what are we doing and what is something different that we could do?”According to the report, Rachel, 33, will be asked to return to the series for season 15 due to her current feud with Teresa, 52, which recently saw Teresa mentioning rumors that her husband, John Fuda, 37, was a drug dealer.
“It won’t be a hard reboot like NYC. But likely they’ll get rid of people from both sides because it’s so fractured,” an insider told Us Weekly, noting that both Dolores, 53, and Jennifer Fessler will be asked back due to their Switzerland status with their castmates.
Prior to the news of the alleged RHONJ cast reboot, Jennifer said she’s “well aware” that changes are ahead.
“Things are shifting,” she said. “Everyone is thinking about all the possibilities.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
