Why It Isn’t a Good Look for RHONJ Cast To Leak Casting Rumors

With the dismal Season 14 of the Real Housewives of New Jersey behind us, fans were hoping for a bit of decorum from the ladies. The cast couldn’t figure out how to get along long enough to film in front of the cameras. In turn, the season showed a distinct line drawn in the sand. However, some of the cast seem to feel they have a crystal ball as they hint at their inevitable return. But Bravo has yet to decide on RHONJ, leaving these thirsty housewives looking silly.

Last week, Jennifer Aydin commented on a social media post and alluded to signing a contract for Season 15. Jennifer took to her Instagram Live over the weekend, complete with a face of Botox, to connect with her fans. But all she found were haters, as one noted they didn’t want to see her back on Season 15. The Paramus resident quipped while flipping her follower the bird, “Oh, sorry (Instagram user’s name), I am coming back.” It seemed as if Jen was confirming what an online source had already tried to spread. The rumor mill has Jen, Teresa Giudice, and Dolores Catania back in front of the camera. 

But Andy Cohen, the Bravo kingpin, instantly shut down Jen, sharing, “We’ve done absolutely nothing — well, actually, we’ve done plenty. But that’s not — no. I’ll wait ’til I get a — I wish her well. Wait ’til Bravo or I say something.” Yikes. How embarrassing. Jen was known to tell a few tall tales during her time. Last season, she was revealed to have leaked stories to the blogs.

Melissa Gorga is annoyed her costars leak secrets

While speaking out on her podcast, Melissa Gorga slammed Jen and Tre for leaking rumors about their past seasons. The singer noted “It’s so stupid, and you know what I have to say I’m actually proud of? Never has it ever once said Melissa Gorga is staying. Never once has that been said, so that should be proof to Bravo and to everyone else that it’s definitely not me that talks to the people and plants stories.” Missy G isn’t wrong in her line of thinking. The move by Jen cast the spotlight on her and made her look pretty desperate to hold onto her 15 minutes of fame. 

Melissa added, “It’s kind of funny…like all of the rumors that are coming out again about our show like ‘Oh, these three are staying; everyone else is going.’ What the hell is that? It’s so stupid.” The semi-OG felt embarrassed for Jen as she shared, “I just think it’s so crazy. I’m like, ‘Just let it be.’ Like, who is feeding these stories? So again, to my listeners out there, please know that the rumors are not true. They are not true, it’s not real, and like, there’s zero decision. I don’t even think they’re discussing the ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ over at 30 Rock. They are not. So that’s that. It’s so funny, let’s see how many more times we’re gonna to read that like a certain three people.”

Nothing is going on with the Real Housewives of New Jersey

Andy has made it very clear that Bravo has put RHONJ on pause. So, the fact that anyone but specifically a few Garden State stars are trying to push a false narrative is a bit annoying. If I were the network, I would ax anyone trying to push their way back in. The idea of selling fans a bag of goods brings down the franchise as a whole. And it seemingly proves that you can’t trust those particular personalities. The network and the cast should be on the same page or at least present a united front to the public. The discourse gives off the feel that it is a D-list series rather than an A-list.

It was already pretty obvious that Jen and Tre were desperate to keep their names up in lights, but this frenzied media blitz should only go to prove why they don’t deserve a spot on the reboot. Here’s hoping Bravo makes the right decisions. But I can only assume they are mad as hell at Jen for hinting at any sort of resolution. Let’s hope the network makes the right call in the end. 

Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock.
