There are several rumors doing rounds on the internet with regards to the season 13 casting. While some reports claim that Jackie Goldschneider was demoted from her position as a full-time housewife to a friend of housewives, other reports claim that all the housewives from season 12 have been asked to return for the upcoming season. Season 12 featured Teresa, Melissa, Dolores, Jennifer, Margaret Josephs, and Jackie as full-time housewives and Tiki Barber's wife Traci Lynn Johnson as the friend of housewives. 

A blind on Bravo and Cocktails alluded to new ladies being tested to join the show. The blind read, "Danielle Cabral is joining the ladies – finally getting the show into a younger demographic. The next newbie is Jenn Fessler (Marges friend) or Rachel Fuda (Melissas friend), but the decision hasn’t been made on what direction they should go in." We'll just have to wait and watch to see if these rumors are true.
