'RHONJ' may not return despite Jennifer Aydin's bold claims
TRENTON, NEW JERSEY: Fans of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' were expecting some decency from the women after the disappointing Season 14 finale. Unfortunately, they couldn't maintain their relationships long enough to film together in front of the cameras. As a result, the season drew a clear line in the sand. However, several of the stars seem to believe they have a crystal ball, hinting at their imminent return.
Bravo, however, has not yet chosen the cast for the next season of 'RHONJ', making these eager women appear foolish. Jennifer Aydin hinted at signing a Season 15 deal in a social media message last week. Over the weekend, Jennifer engaged her fans on her Instagram Live, complete with a Botox face. However, she was met with criticism, including one detractor who expressed they didn't want to see her return for Season 15. The Paramus resident joked, "Oh, sorry (Instagram user’s name), I am coming back." Jen seemed to be confirming what an online source had already tried to spread—rumors that Dolores Catania, Teresa Giudice, and Jen herself are all making a comeback, according to the rumor mill.
Bravo boss Andy Cohen shuts down Jennifer Aydin
"We’ve done absolutely nothing — well, actually, we’ve done plenty," said Bravo mogul Andy Cohen, quickly shutting Jen down. "But that’s not — no. I’ll wait ’til I get a — I wish her well. Wait ’til Bravo or I say something." Oh, no. How humiliating. During her time, Jen had a reputation for telling some wild stories, and she was even caught leaking gossip to bloggers in the previous season.
'RHONJ' star Melissa Gorga disappointed in Jennifer Aydin's blunder
Melissa Gorga blasted Jennifer Aydin and Teresa for spreading gossip about their past seasons on her show. "It’s so stupid, and you know what I have to say I’m actually proud of?" the singer wrote. "Never has it ever once said Melissa Gorga is staying. Never once has that been said, so that should be proof to Bravo and to everyone else that it’s definitely not me that talks to the people and plants stories," she added.
Melissa Gorga's perspective is not incorrect. Jen’s move seemed to be a way to draw attention to herself, giving the impression that she was trying to hold onto her fleeting moment in the spotlight. Melissa continued, “It’s kind of funny…like all of the rumors that are coming out again about our show like ‘Oh, these three are staying; everyone else is going.’ What the hell is that? It’s so stupid.”
The semi-OG felt uncomfortable for Jen and said, "I just think it’s so crazy. I’m like, ‘Just let it be.’ Like, who is feeding these stories? So again, to my listeners out there, please know that the rumors are not true. They are not true, it’s not real, and like, there’s zero decision. I don’t even think they’re discussing the ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ over at 30 Rock. They are not. So that’s that. It’s so funny, let’s see how many more times we’re gonna to read that like a certain three people."
'RHONJ's future is still hanging
Bravo has put RHONJ on hold, as Andy has made clear. So, it’s frustrating that anyone—especially a few Garden State celebrities—is trying to promote a misleading narrative. If it were up to us, we'd ax anyone attempting to re-enter the network. The entire franchise is damaged by the idea of offering fans a false promise. Additionally, it seems to demonstrate that you can't rely on those specific individuals. The cast and the network ought to be in agreement, or at the very least, show the public a unified face.
It sounds more like a D-list series than an A-list one based on the discussions. Although it was already quite clear that Jen and Teresa were keen to maintain their prominence, this frantic media frenzy should only serve to highlight the reasons why they shouldn't be included in the remake.
Hopefully, Bravo will make the correct choices. However, it is reasonable to conclude that they are furious at Jen for implying a resolution. Hopefully, the network will ultimately make the correct decision.
