Season 14 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey might be the most dramatic yet.
This is what Bravo wrote as the headline for a preview of new episodes of this long-running franchise, which returns Sunday night, May 5.
It sounds familiar, we know that.
But it can also be true.
Season 14 will star Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda… while Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler will return as friends.
According to The Sun, filming began back in August 2023, not long after a three-part reunion aired on Bravo in June.
The same source reports that Giudice will remain the focus of the series in season 14, but she will also stick to her vow to stay away from her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga.
We actually won’t see much of these women arguing.
so what will are we experiencing this spring and summer?!?
“Margaret and Jackie got into a heated argument about her book. “Jackie gave out copies of her book to some of the cast, but Margaret didn’t get one and that made her question their friendship,” an insider tells The Sun.
Josephs is particularly in trouble with her so-called friend because she introduced Jackie to the publicist who helped her get that book deal.
“I think people are so used to Jersey being about family,” Gorga told The Sun. “There’s a big twist this year – a plot twist!”
Margaret also teased this release that this season’s “biggest fight” is between Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral. A PHYSICAL fight, she emphasizes.
“Jennifer pushed Danielle during the argument and Danielle retaliated by crumpling up her plastic cup and throwing it toward Jennifer’s face, drawing blood,” a source previously told Page Six.
These actors were even suspended for a few days as a result of this altercation.
“I could say it was very surprising for me. But for the viewer and fan of “Housewives,” this comes as no surprise. They already knew what kind of person I was dealing with,” Danielle tells The Sun.
As for Teresa’s controversial husband Luis Ruelas?
Rachel and John Fuda will continue to blame him to hire an investigator to investigate her life.
These allegations were brought to trial in February 2024, when attorney Kevin S. Johnson and his firm filed a lawsuit against Luis (among other things), accusing him of violating the Federal Wiretap Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and the New Jersey Wiretapping Act. and Electronic Surveillance Control Act.
Finally… Welcome to Kayla Giovinazzo, Tiffany Chantell-Rosania and Jessica Kiraly.
These three new faces were brought on this season “as a test,” writes The Sun, to see whether they could replace any veteran cast members later on.
Tiffany competed on The Amazing Race in 2015; Kayla is married to Jamie Giovinazzo, CEO and founder of Eat Clean Bro; and Jessica creates fashion and lifestyle content on social media.
“The Real Housewives” Season 14 airs at 8/7c on Bravo.
