Dolores Catania Breaks Silence on Real Housewives of Rhode Island Cast Rumors

Bravo surprised fans by announcing a new series, The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. While most viewers are hungry for a new location and cast to get to know, some wondered about an interesting rumor. Namely, that Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania was buying a house in the Ocean State and joining RHORI. So, what does Dolores have to say about this rumor?

It’s no secret that Andy Cohen is jazzed about this new franchise. “It’s really good, and they are Italian with a capital ‘I,’” he stated. So, Dolores joining the cast might not be too far-fetched.

Recently, Dolores and her RHONJ co-star Margaret Josephs appeared on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live. And Dolores dished on those juicy Rhode Island rumors. When asked if Dolores was indeed going to star on the show, she set the record straight. “Well, I’m not gonna be a star, and I will visit maybe,” Dolores stated.

“Oh, ’cause you have, do you have friends on the Rhode Island cast?” host Jeff Lewis asked. “I do, yeah, and they are wild,” she stated. “Really?” Jeff asked.

Dolores responded, “Wild. They’re not Jersey, but we’ll see. Jersey is its own thing, you know?” She continued, “No one, I’m very privy to all the shows now. I watch them all ’cause I speak on the podcast, The Two Ts, and I just want to say, really, you’ve gotta go far to beat Jersey.” Dolores added, “I’m not just saying that.”

Well, Dolores may want to keep an eye out for any openings on RHORI. Jersey has been paused for what seems like forever, but Andy finally gave an update on the show’s fate. “We are doing casting on Jersey,” he recently stated. “It was really on a deep pause, and we are actively there, casting and looking at the future of what that will be.”

As of now, The Real Housewives of Rhode Island doesn’t have a premiere date. The Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.a
