‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ Cast Sound Off About ‘Rebranding’ Rumors
Earlier this week, Andy Cohen created a frenzy when he suggested that The Real Housewives of New Jersey fans might see all new faces when season 15 airs. Cohen later went on the record to recant the statement, explaining that he was just riffing and that no decisions had been made. Still, his statements have sent shockwaves through the fanbase and, apparently, the cast. A few cast members have revealed how they feel about the potential end of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, as fans know it.
Teresa Giudice seemed nervous about the end of the series as she knows it
The Daily Mail caught up with a few cast members at a recent event, and they shared how they are feeling now that their reality TV series hangs in the balance. Teresa Giudice looked uneasy during her chat with Nolamarianna for the Daily Mail. She was completely noncommittal about the rumors but insisted she would be willing to see what Bravo had in store for her. Despite the rumors, Giudice appears to be all in on the network no matter what. In July, she responded to rumors that she was considering leaving the show. At that point, she insisted that she would be staying as long as the network would have her.
While Giudice tried to hide her nerves, it was obvious from the interview that she might be feeling the heat. While her money situation remains unknown, some The Real Housewives of New Jersey fans think the mother of four relies on the Bravo paycheck to keep herself and her husband, Luis Ruelas, afloat. It’s impossible to say what would happen if she was booted from The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but viewers don’t think things will go well for her. She is the only remaining original cast member.
Dolores Catania is hoping to be included in the future of the installment.
Giudice seems nervous about the end of her reality TV career, and Dolores Catania doesn’t seem particularly laid-back about the show’s rumored rebranding, either. Nolamarianna also caught up with Catania and asked her about the rumors.
Catania said she hopes to be involved in whatever is next for RHONJ. She went on to say that she never took her time on the series for granted. Fans mostly agree that Catania should stay on if Bravo doesn’t opt for a completely fresh cast. Catania has long been the voice of reason among the very fractured group of New Jersey residents. She began appearing as a main cast member during season 7 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Catania appeared on and off as a guest and a friend from the very beginning.
Jennifer Aydin is a lot more relaxed about the situation
Catania and Giudice weren’t the only The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast members that the Daily Mail caught up with. Jennifer Aydin was on hand to offer up her thoughts, too. Aydin is much less concerned about being fired than some of her co-stars. She insists she will be just fine with or without the show. As for what she would be doing instead of filming, she suggested she might go back to counting her Ferraris and being fabulous.
Aydin has spent less time on the small-screen than Giudice and Catania. She also doesn’t seem to care about the paycheck. Aydin first appeared as a guest in season 7 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. She later joined the cast as a full-time housewife in season 9.
We won’t know what is happening for season 15 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey for some time. Season 14 has yet to wrap up. There is no word on when the cast, whoever it may include, will return to filming.
