Summary
- The fate of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is changing with a reboot.

- Andy Cohen confirms that big changes are coming to shake up the show.
Bravo’s Andy Cohen has made a shocking revelation about the fate of The Real Housewives of New Jersey after several lack luster seasons of the popular reality TV show. The Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ) first aired in May 2009 and was one of the first four shows in The Real Housewives franchise. This installment of the popular franchise focused on the often complicated family dynamics of the main cast and has only strayed slightly in the fourteen seasons it has aired. Recently, a feud between Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice has caused a deep fracture among the cast.
“
We are rebooting the show. We’re gonna reboot it.”
Andy Cohen, the host of the popular late-night talk show Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, recently revealed the fate of the struggling Real Housewives of New Jersey cast. On a recent episode of Andy’s show, Andy Cohen Live, Andy responded to a caller who was complaining about Real Housewives of New Jersey, asking, “Have you heard that we’re gonna do big changes to the show?” When the caller continued to complain, Andy interrupted, saying, “We are rebooting the show. We’re gonna reboot it. We’re gonna do something different,” which is news that many have been waiting to hear.

The Cast Of New Jersey May Have Sealed Their Own Fate
As the conversation with the disgruntled caller continued, Andy said frankly, “We’re gonna see what we do. We’ll see. I don’t know. Maybe just all fresh faces.” The current cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey consists of Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Dolores Catania, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral, and Rachel Fuda as the main housewives. Jackie Goldscheider and Jennifer Fessler also appear on the show as “friends of” the housewives. A major rift in the cast began when the relationship between Teresa and her sister-in-law Melissa deteriorated beyond repair, forcing the other housewives to choose sides.
After several attempts to heal the fractured family, both sides inevitably gave up and decided that the only way they could live peacefully was by not being in each other’s lives. This has made filming the reality TV show extremely difficult, and long-time viewers of the show are getting tired of feeling the strain. During a previous episode of Andy’s show, Andy had a discussion with another caller who wanted a cast shake-up, agreeing that a change was needed. “We’re gonna figure something out,” Andy assured the caller, continuing by saying, “We are all on the same page about that.”

The show provides an opportunity to see how these families handle the hurdles that come their way, including the loss of loved ones, divorces, marriages, and children growing up.
