Jennifer Aydin dishes on a recent conversation she had with Andy Cohen about the casting rumor drama concerning season 15 of RHONJ.
On the October 21 episode of Vicki Gunvalson‘s podcast, “My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast,” Jennifer Aydin her future on the Real Housewives of New Jersey and the recent casting rumors about season 15.
“Somebody was just very rude and said something like, you know, ‘Can’t wait until you’re not back on the show.’ And I’m just like reading it and it passes my eye. And I just respond, like, ‘Sorry to break it to you, but I am coming back. Sorry,’” the mom of five said on the Real Housewives of Orange County OG’s podcast.
Jennifer explained that Bravo has yet to renew her contract or any of her castmates’ contracts for season 15. The recent reports about season 15 of RHONJ have frustrated Jennifer especially the ones claiming that she confirmed her return.
According to Jennifer her comment from earlier this month “wasn’t really a confirmation” that she was coming back. The 47-year-old was “mortified” when Andy Cohen addressed her comment during an October 2024 episode of her his SiriusXM radio show, Andy Cohen Live.
“So I texted Andy. I said ‘First of all Andy, I just really want to clarify.’ I told him the situation. ‘I did not confirm but I did respond, like, sorry to break it to you, I am coming back. Yes, as a snarky comeback,’” Jennifer explained. “‘And until you guys tell me something otherwise, I am rolling with the vibe that I am still a Housewife. Hence, I’m coming back.’ And he said, ‘I knew it had to be some kind of explanation. Thanks for clarifying.’”
Jennifer revealed that Andy told her “no decisions have been made” about season 15. Andy also told her to “Tell people we’ve spoken — no decisions have been made.”
As previously reported, Andy Cohen took to his radio show last week to shut down a recent report claiming that Teresa Giudice, Dolores Catania and Jennifer have signed on for season 15 of RHONJ.
“It’s not happening. We’ve made no decisions on [RHONJ],” Andy confirmed on the October 15 episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live.
The Watch What Happens Live host then shut down Jennifer‘s claims that she is officially back for season 15.
“What? No! Jennifer Aydin confirmed that she’s returning? No, no, no. We’ve done nothing. We’ve done absolutely, I mean, well, no. Actually, we’ve done plenty, but that’s not, that’s not what’s, no,” Andy insisted. “She said that on her Instagram Live? Wow. Alright. Okay. No.”
After shutting down the casting rumors, Andy directly addressed Jennifer, saying, “I wish her well.”
“[But] wait until Bravo or I [say] something. How about that?” he noted.
Real Housewives of New Jersey isn’t expected to return for season 15 until late 2025 or early 2026.
