RHONJ alum Kim D claims that the future of the Garden State Real Housewives franchise is “not looking good” amid pause ahead of season 15.
Kim D claims that “not one person has been contacted” about season 15 of RHONJ.
“I can tell you this that I know for a fact — every single one of them is sweating it. Every one of them is upset now. Every one of them is feeling the pain,” she told DailyMail.com.
“It’s not looking good,” the 63-year-old added. Kim D also theorized that RHONJ cast members may “have regrets” about how they acted while filming season 14.
Bravo has yet to make any decisions about season 15 of RHONJ, as confirmed by Andy Cohen earlier this month. The franchise is currently “on ice,” and “filming will likely not resume until 2025.”
“It’s much easier to cast in New York City than it is in New Jersey. They cannot find the right people in Jersey. If that happens, I believe Teresa [Giudice] will come back. We’re going to see two different things. It’s either going to be a complete reboot or you’ll see Teresa come back. I see Dolores coming back, and then we’ll see from there,” Kim revealed.
“But plan A would be a reboot, then plan B would be because they cannot find the right people. Jersey’s very difficult to infiltrate.”
When asked if she thinks Melissa Gorga would ever return to film alongside Teresa, Kim D said, ‘It’s not going to happen. Andy Cohen will not do this again.”
She also thinks Danielle Cabral “100 percent should never come back” after getting into a physical altercation with Jennifer Aydin while filming season 14.
Real Housewives of New Jersey isn’t expected to return for season 15 until late 2025 or early 2026.
