Which RHONJ Stars Were Left Out of the Cast’s Family Dinner?

The cast of Bravo's New Jersey Housewives franchise.

A look inside the RHONJ cast’s recent “family dinner.” Find out which stars “weren’t invited” and why. Get all the tea!

At least half of the RHONJ cast remains as “thick as thieves” after filming season 14, so much so that they celebrated the New Year with a “family dinner.”

A majority of the RHONJ cast and their husbands got together for a “family dinner” on Wednesday night at LouLou’s in New York City.

Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Rachel Fuda, Danielle Cabral and Jennifer Fessler were all in attendance along with Frank Catania’s fiancée Brittany Mattessich.

The ladies were also joined by their men – Joe Gorga, Frank Catania, John Fuda, Joe Benigno, Nate Cabral, and Jeff Fessler.

However, RHONJ stars Teresa Giudice, Jennifer Aydin, and Jackie Goldschnieder were not invited to the gathering, per Page Six.

RHONJ’s Jackie Goldschneider, Jennifer Aydin, and Teresa Giudice were not invited to the cast’s “family dinner.”

“They weren’t invited,” a source revealed.

Apparently, the ladies of RHONJ didn’t want any “bad vibes” at the dinner, so they didn’t invite certain cast members.

“The group is welcoming 2024 with only good energy,” the insider shared, adding the RHONJ cast dinner was “really fun, positive and joyous.”

“The show was not mentioned one time,” the source noted. “The ladies all got along so well, laughing and chatting throughout the evening. Everyone really enjoyed each other’s company.” 

Dolores Catania and her boyfriend, Paul Connell, were invited but “couldn’t make it” to the gathering, according to the insider.

“The guys all sat together at one end of the table while the ladies sat at the other for dinner,” the source added. “Everyone was making toasts and welcoming the new year as a friend group.”

After dinner, the RHONJ crew headed downstairs to watch a burlesque show. They then danced the night away as a group.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey will return to Bravo for season 14 in 2024.

I can already tell that I’m going to hate this season, especially if that group is “the cool girls”.

Umm . . . if I had to choose between being stuck in a stuffy restaurant in cold ass weather with these losers or taking an amazing vacation to the Bahamas with amazing weather and people who are WINNING . . . LOL. Also Danielle, what are you wearing?! I mean, the outfit is an improvement over the monstrosity she sqeezed into at BravoCon, but there's still a lot of room for improvement there. And as far as Dolores goes, out of the six couples at that dinner, the only ones I THINK (don’t know for sure) she sees outside of filming are Frank and Brittany, and maybe the FameWhorgas every once and a while. Contrary to what people think, Dolores is not scared of Teresa because if she was scared to be hanging out with people Teresa didn’t like, why did she remain friends with Caroline and Jacqueline (before Teresa and Jacqueline made up)? Dolores has a life outside of the show and hanging out with people she doesn't like or care about is not worth her time unless she is getting paid for it. I'm sure whatever she and Paulie had going on was way more fun/important than wasting time on these morons. I also heard Jackie was at an event with Marysol Patton from Miami so I don’t think she was that bummed either. I honestly think that this was an attempt to upstage Teresa and Jen Aydin on their vacation because they genuinely looked unbothered and were having a great time in the Bahamas. They were just focused on their families and enjoying a stress free vacation together and that’s a great thing.

Who really cares about a cast dinner - and whether someone is invited??? They probably had better things to do. Teresa and her family were in the Bahamas. And who is this so-called "insider"? The Whoregas and Piggy are known to leak to the press.

Just my opinion on the two girls, Danielle and Rachel. The Fuda”s remodeled the Gorga”s home for free and went on the show as a strict ally to Melissa and Joe . Danielle was just an extra. We are all going to see Danielle change alliances. I think she is still friendly with Teresa but I would like to know what happened between Jennifer and Danielle was it a producer based fight? Since John made up rumors about Louis and Teresa the only person that has Teresa’s back is Jennifer. Maybe they wanted to keep her busy so she wouldn’t defend Teresa. Jennifer is a great friend :) Danielle not so much. She’s a follower and just fake.

So the troublemakers got to have dinner together and make sure they were photographed. Telling. And why is Frank still on this show??? I really like this show but there are just too many people on it now that are unlikable. Fuda the street thug, his weird looking wife and loud mouth Danielle are really awful additions. Dolores smartly stayed away because she knew this was all for show and to stir up shit.

It is bad enough to have to work with untrustworthy people so why would they want to spend time with Teresa, Jennifer or Luis when they aren't at work? Not sure why or if Jackie was "not invited" or just didn't go. She and her husband are pleasant and fun. Dolores probably would have enjoyed it although she couldn't dare incur Teresa's wrath by going plus she probably is tired of all of them. Not a big deal regardless.

LMFAO

As a die hard fan I will stop watching this next season. These people are fucking lame. All they do is drag Teresa and Louie.
675309 January 9, 2024 - 3:48 pm
Teresa and Luis need to be dragged out for sure. Teresa expired long ago.

So basically from this picture all I see is Melissa and Joe making millions of dollars for only going after Teresa and her family. Frank and Brittany do not need to be on the show. They are only on the show to make Joe Gorga look normal and nice. We all know that John Fuda is only going after Teresa because Joe Gorga asked him to. If I were Gia Giudice, I would go after John Fuda for going after her mom. He’s a punk and after 10 years of Joe Gorga, going after Teresa, we see another guy, John, the punk Fuda. What a hostile work environment to be in all because of her greedy, selfish shitty brother.

Agree 100% Especially your last sentence.?

How immature! The girls sat with the girls and the boys with the boys! WOW! They all must be super close friends to do that! ? When it comes to authentic friendships Tre & Jenn definitely have one. Their families even spent the New Year's in Bahamas together, along with Joe Giudice. I think someone (Melissa) got jelly and planned the Loulou's BFF dinner. The "tip" to Pagesix sounds like her.

They were even close enough for the Aiden’s to visit Joe Giudice in the Bahamas without Teresa being there. Now who on the other side would do something remotely close.
675309 January 9, 2024 - 5:11 pm
"Without Teresa being there"?
Ross January 9, 2024 - 9:18 am
This was beyond childish.
Watcher January 9, 2024 - 7:42 am
If this was all about their friendship why did they make a point about we didn’t talk about the show? And why did someone give the details? I don’t trust the report because of the known schemers in the group.
675309 January 9, 2024 - 3:56 pm
Considering where we are reading it, that comment is surprising unless it was meant to be sarcastic or something, although I sort of doubt Jackie wasn't invited. If she wasn't, she must be going off the deep end or something! Ha.
holy cannoli January 9, 2024 - 7:16 am
Meh ?, so all of them that are friends got together for a dinner. Big deal.?????
