When I wake up in the morning, I think about so many things… like what the hell is happening to The Real Housewives of New Jersey?
Stars Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral, Rachel Fuda, Dolores Catania, Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler gathered at Rails Steakhouse on Sunday night (August 11) for an alternate reunion where they watched the Season 14 finale together — albeit in two separate rooms. This marked the first time in the show’s history (and the second time in Bravo history) that a reunion was canceled.
The decision came after a contentious finale that proved the relationships between the cast members are irreparable. Not only did Giudice and Gorga trade blows for the first time this season, but Josephs also outed Goldschneider for hooking up with Luis “Louie” Ruelas’ ex-fiancé when she and Giudice weren’t yet friends. If anything, the women left their lunch, hosted by the well-meaning Catania, more broken than they entered.
Of course, half of Bravo fans want Josephs and Gorga kicked out, while the other half blames Giudice and her husband for the pervasive toxicity. There are also a handful of fans who would like to see Bravo replace the entire cast, as they did for The Real Housewives of New York City.
