Real Housewives Of New Jersey: Andy Cohen Updates On Hiatus Status
The latest season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ) has been characterized by a high degree of conflict, especially between Joey Gorga, Melissa, and Teresa Giudice. The tension between these cast members brought numerous contentious moments and has left many fans feeling overwhelmed by the constant drama. Rumors arrived that a shakeup of the cast may be in the works. This week, Andy Cohen, the host of the show, addressed these rumors and provide some clarification on what the future may hold.
Real Housewives Of New Jersey Hijacked By Giudice Family
Really, if you didn’t know the show well, you might think that RHONJ is all about Teresa Giudice, her daughter, Gia, and her in-laws, the Gorgas. The rest of the cast, which includes Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jackie Goldschneider, and Jennifer Aydin along with friends of the show, seem to be simply supporting characters. Well, fans grow sick and tired of toxic Teresa taking the limelight.
Many Real Housewives Of New Jersey fans were happy to hear that there might be a long hiatus with a mega-shake-up. The show was expected to not film again until about October, which is unusual. Additionally, conflicting info suggested there might be a big change to the cast. Furthermore, the Bravo execs were considering a more family-oriented show. Now that Andy Cohen clarified things, it seems some of the rumors were way off the mark.
Real Housewives Of New Jersey: Andy Cohen Speaks
This week, Andy spoke with E! News about the status of the hiatus rumors. Shared on Twitter by @RHONJOBSESSED, the video came with the caption, “Andy Cohen confirms #RHONJ is NOT on pause till 2024 and if he thinks Teresa & Melissa can co exist!” In the clip, Andy reminded viewers that there’s always a bit of a hiatus in-between seasons.

Real Housewives Of New Jersey stars Teresa and Melissa both want to return again. And it seems that while contracts are not yet out, they will probably renew those two. As to whether things will calm down between Tersa and Meissa isn’t known, and Andy confessed to that. He said, “We will see.” It seems to be too early for the execs to actually make any final decisions just yet. After all, they need to first “do a deep dive into the season and see where the viewers are at” before more decisions are made.

Fed up, @taylurinc told the host, “I’ll tell you where we are at Andy… WE’RE OVER IT!!! Either you force the Gorgas to have a storyline other than their hate for Tre, or you fire them! Since season 3 Mel & Joe Gorga have been living off the SAME storyline… its tired and ridiculous.”
