Melissa Gorga Agrees with RHONJ Cast Shakeup Amid Toxic Season, Says Changes Are Needed Melissa Gorga, star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, concurs with fans & Bravo that the show requires a cast overhaul due to a toxic season 14 & a canceled reunion. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the New York City premiere of Tyler Perry’s Divorce in the Black, Gorga expressed her agreement on the need for changes within the show. She highlighted the toxicity that has emerged, particularly pointing out the behind-the-scenes manipulations by two unnamed cast members, which she believes are now coming to light. Gorga, who has not shared any scenes with her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice this season, alluded to the ongoing bitter family feud that has also divided the rest of the cast, including Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral, Rachel Fuda, Jackie Goldschneider, & Jennifer Fessler. The tension among the cast led to the decision to forego the traditional reunion for season 14, as confirmed by multiple sources to Us Weekly. The reunion, which usually aims for resolution, seemed impossible due to irreconcilable differences among the cast members. Andy Cohen, the executive producer, however, has promised that the season 14 finale will bring a sense of closure that a reunion typically provides. He described the finale as a combination of a dramatic conclusion & a reunion, promising an epic group encounter reminiscent of the Last Supper, filled with shock & drama that will satisfy viewers. Regarding the possibility of rebooting RHONJ with a new cast, similar to what was done with The Real Housewives of New York City, Cohen mentioned that no decisions have been made yet. He indicated that the producers are taking their time to assess the situation & plan for the next season. The Real Housewives of New Jersey continues to air on Bravo & is available on Peacock, offering viewers a glimpse into the lives & conflicts of its cast.

Melissa Gorga is all in for a change. She’s echoing the sentiments of many who watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey, believing a cast shakeup is overdue. The show’s latest season? Toxic, to say the least. And with the reunion axed, it’s clear something’s gotta give.

Then, there’s the family drama. Melissa and Teresa Giudice, her sister-in-law, haven’t shared a scene this season. Their feud’s so intense, it’s splitting the cast into camps. With names like Dolores Catania and Margaret Josephs in the mix, it’s a full-on loyalty war.

Sources whispered to Us Weekly that there’s no reunion for season 14. "The reunion is supposed to be about resolution and it’s clear there’s no resolving any issues between the women," one insider dished. So, no neat bows to tie up this season’s drama, it seems.

Andy Cohen, the executive producer, promises a resolution of sorts in the season 14 finale. "The main thing is this will all make sense once you see the finale," he assured on SiriusXM’s Reality Checked With Kiki Monique. According to him, the finale is a blend of the usual episode and a reunion, all rolled into one.

"It’s in the great tradition of absolute shocking, dramatic Jersey finales and they have this final epic group encounter, which is like, it feels like the Last Supper and is just so Jersey. And it’s shocking and it’s dramatic and it’s amazing TV. I’m telling you, when you see it, I think that you’ll feel complete," Cohen continued.

As for rebooting RHONJ with a new cast, akin to The Real Housewives of New York City, Cohen’s playing his cards close to his chest. "We are gonna cross next season as that comes," he shared, hinting at a period of reflection for the producers.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Bravo Sundays at 8 p.m. ET and on Peacock. Whether you’re team Melissa, team Teresa, or just here for the drama, it’s clear RHONJ is at a pivotal moment. Will the promised changes revive the show? Time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: Jersey never disappoints.
