Though it seemed like the day may never come, The Real Housewives of New Jersey made a huge shift in the casting department, at least according to the latest rumors in the blogs. It’s been pretty evident for seasons now that the irreparable divide between Tre and her Tre Huggers and Margaret’s blond mob was a gap even the producers of the most fucked up Housewives franchise couldn’t close. If I was in charge (which strangely I’m not), I would’ve scrapped the entire cast from head to toe and hired a whole new gaggle of Jerseylicious bitches to build around, but it does look like some existing cast members escaped the ax. The high-pitched elephant with a dangerously low hairline in the room is, ofc, what did they do about the table flipper who started it all? Is Teresa Giudice leaving RHONJ? Spelling out everything we know about The Real Housewives Of New Jersey season 15 casting rumors.

RHONJ Season 15 Cast

Is RHONJ getting rebooted?

Not entirely, according to the latest rumors. An inside source claimed to OK Magazine that everyone except Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, and Teresa Giudice were being dropped, with the network opting not to “pursue” further “retention notices” for the rest of the cast. This means that Marge, Rachel Fuda, Danielle, and Jennifer Aydin will not be on our TV screens any time soon, at least not on Bravo. Jackie Goldschneider and Jen Fessler were apparently so irrelevant to the convo the source didn’t mention their fate, but seems clear they’re getting the boot, too.

Did Melissa Gorga get fired from season 15 of RHONJ?

As of now, the casting rumors say Melissa is likely to return for season 15. Hallelujah, Joey Gorga is (hopefully) marked safe.

Is Teresa Giudice coming back to RHONJ?

The same source claimed to OK they had intel alleging Teresa was in talks for a deal, but it may be for an entirely different show since the Giudices and the Gorgas refuse to speak to each other. As we’ve seen several times before with other Wives (like Porsha, Kandi, and Bethenny), family spinoff dramas rarely get as much attention. But, at the same time, there’s nothing I wouldn’t put past Tre’s Jersey standom, so anything she films could be an overnight success.

Did Jennifer Aydin get fired?

Earlier reports in 2025 alleged that Bravo was bailing on Jennifer after she filmed herself having a “celebrity” temper tantrum at an airport location Jersey Mikes because the employees wouldn’t let her order more sandwiches after she had placed her order (yes, that’s just how food service works, and yes Jen has since admitted that video didn’t land well). Jen was quickly confirmed to be fired from a cruise appearance immediately after the drama and Andy Cohen called the unnecessary hot mess a “self-inflicted wound” so it seems like pretty good timing for the network to distance themselves from the high-maintenance mom.
