RHONJ's Melissa Gorga says franchise is 'due for a change' amid talks of a cast shake-up: 'I'm excited for what's to come'

As a die-hard fan of The Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ), I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation as Melissa Gorga expresses her eagerness for change in the show amidst calls for a cast shakeup. Melissa, a beloved OG housewife who has been with the franchise since its third season back in 2011, has experienced it all – from bitter feuds to heartwarming moments and everything in between.


Melissa Gorga, a star on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, is open to some new developments in the series following public demands for a roster overhaul.

A reality star, aged 45, who became a part of RHONJ in its third season (which was back in 2011), recently shared her thoughts on the future of the franchise following the cancellation of the reunion, caused by conflict among her cast members.

She expressed her eagerness to Page Six on Monday, sharing, “I’m looking forward to the future with anticipation. I believe it’s time for something new, though I’m unsure of the specifics. I’m excited to discover the unfolding events.”

She concluded, ‘I am excited to see what’s next and where this show goes from here.’

She’s unaware of Bravo’s intentions regarding the program, the brunette stunner admitted, expressing her own bafflement.

Last week, the mother of three expressed her agreement with Bravo’s view that changes are necessary, as her recent comments reflect this sentiment.

She expressed her complete agreement with Entertainment Tonight, adding, “Things have become quite unpleasant.”

She went on to reveal: “Two of my cast members have played deceitfully behind the scenes, and now their wrongdoings are being exposed. This has been going on for years, but the truth is finally surfacing in the wash.”

As a devoted fan, I’ve noticed that during my favorite reality show family’s intense feud, Gorga and her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice didn’t appear together on screen even once.

As a devoted member of the production, I’ve noticed how the strained relationship among the women has spread beyond their small circle. Unfortunately, we’ve all been drawn into the fray, compelled to choose allegiances that go against our natural inclinations for neutrality and unity.

At present, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral, Rachel Fuda, and Jackie Goldschneider are all featured in the series.

Her comments were made merely weeks ago, following reports from several sources to Us Weekly that “Real Housewives of New Jersey” might skip the usual reunion taping for this season.

“An insider disclosed that the reunion’s purpose is supposed to be about finding resolutions, but it’s apparent that there’s no way for the women to resolve their issues.” “There won’t be a neat and tidy conclusion, and things are not going to end smoothly.”

Andy Cohen, however, assured fans that there would be resolution in the season 14 finale. 

I can’t help but feel exhilarated as I share this with you, my dear listeners on SiriusXM’s Reality Checked With Kiki Monique. Trust me, every seemingly confusing piece of the puzzle will fall into place once we reach the final act. It may be a challenging journey, but trust me, it’s all worth it in the end.

After individually watching the final cut, we Producers reached a consensus during our subsequent discussion: The finale encompasses both its concluding segment and the reunion.

Based on my experience as a long-time fan of reality TV shows, particularly those set in Jersey, I can tell you that this finale promises to be a true spectacle. With its deep roots in the rich tradition of jaw-dropping, suspenseful Jersey endings, it delivers an epic group encounter that leaves you speechless. It’s as if you’re witnessing the Last Supper unfold before your eyes – dramatic, shocking, and unmistakably Jersey. I’ve seen my fair share of reality TV twists and turns, but this one is sure to leave a lasting impression. When you tune in for the finale, trust me, you’ll feel complete satisfaction.

I, as an eager and devoted fan, can’t help but wonder about potential cast adjustments on Real Housewives of New Jersey. According to Cohen, they’re still pondering over this matter and will make a decision when the time is right.

He noted that it takes a ‘minute’ for producers to ‘figure things out.’ 

Gorga and Giudice refused to speak to each other while filming the current season. 

Teresa and Melissa’s argument has continued for several months, with Teresa accusing her sister-in-law of causing her to be imprisoned during the reunion show last year.

During their intense argument, Teresa expressed to Melissa, “Everyone needs to know about this since we’re wrapping things up today. I won’t be able to bear looking at your face ever again.”

Melissa pointed out that Teresa had earlier claimed Caroline Manzo was responsible for having her sent to prison, following Teresa’s admission to federal fraud offenses.

‘No, I take that back,’ Teresa said. ‘I think you did.’

‘Oh, my God,’ Melissa gasped.

The animosity between the two females persisted during the most recent series, making it uncomfortable for the production team as they tried to find ways to keep them apart and avoid confrontations.

But that’s not the only drama to have rocked the show.  

As a devoted fan, I’ve got to share some behind-the-scenes drama from the latest season filming. Jennifer Aydin and newcomer Danielle Cabral found themselves suspended after an unfortunate physical confrontation. This unexpected turn of events adds even more uncertainty to the future of our beloved series.

Behind the scenes, tension has built up between Aydin and Giudice, who have been suspected of sharing unfavorable information about their fellow cast members with a social media account that is hostile towards Teresa Giudice.

Giudice has denied her involvement in the scandal, while Aydin has yet to comment. 

Now fans and producers alike are trying to figure out what’s next for the beleaguered franchise.

According to a report in People magazine, there are various possibilities being considered for the show, as one insider put it, “any idea is up for consideration.” This could involve temporarily suspending one or two cast members, or even starting anew like The Real Housewives of New York City did for its fourteen season.
