AceShowbiz - Bravo has given the answer to fans' burning question regarding Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice's involvement in season 14 of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey". On Thursday, July 6, it was reported that both stars are returning for the upcoming season.
Sources told Page Six that Bravo has extended verbal offers to each of the estranged sisters-in-law to participate in the new season of the hit reality series. The two will be joined by fellow returning stars Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda.
Jackie Goldschneider is also returning in her "friend" capacity. As for Jennifer Fessler, her roles reportedly have not yet been confirmed.
"This is an amazing cast that delivered one of the most successful seasons in franchise history," an insider said. "Why try and fix something if it isn't broken?"
A second source added, "While it once seemed like the show wouldn't be able to move forward with both Teresa and Melissa, it was ultimately decided that both women are integral."
Filming for season 14 reportedly will start at the end of August.
The new season was initially set to begin its production in early June, but the show was put "on pause" amid Melissa and Teresa's ongoing feud. Insiders spilled at the time that Bravo did not know how to proceed under the strained conditions, adding that no one had been offered a contract to come back nor had anyone been fired.
The sisters-in-law have been feuding after Melissa and her husband, Joe Gorga, decided to skip Melissa's wedding to Luis "Louie" Ruelas after the groom allegedly told Joe that Melissa was cheating on him. Their beef only intensified in the reunion as Teresa accused her brother and Melissa of being responsible for putting her and her ex-husband Joe Giudice "in jail."
