The men of RHONJ at Joe Gorgas birthday bash

A tweet sent out following the season 14 premiere of RHONJ on Sunday, alleged that Bravo was doing a disservice by allowing the men to be so involved in the drama. Let’s discuss.

On the season 14 premiere episode of RHONJ, fans saw the men get into quite a bit of drama whether it was among themselves or while interacting with the Housewives.

Not only did Paul Connell and John Fuda get into it at Jennifer Fessler‘s birthday party. John and Paulie’s conversation got so heated that the needed to separated by the other men in the group.

John also argued with Teresa Giudice over gossip she was repeating about him allegdly being the biggest drug dealer in Bergen County at one point in time. On top of that, Joe Gorga also lamented over his issues with his sister Teresa and her husband, Louie Ruelas.

RHONJ husbands Joe, Gorga, Frank Catania, John Fuda, Joe Benigno, Nate Cabral, and Jeff Fessler at “family dinner.”

All this drama from the men of RHONJ led some fans to voice their fustration with Sirens Media giving the housewives’ husbands to much power on the show so they feel like the stars and can insert themselves into drama with the women of the cast.

On Bravo account tweeted:

“Problem is Sirens Media made these men feel like they’re the stars. Men need to stay in the men’s place & that’s the back of the room in the darkest corner.”

Another fan agreed, writing: “This! It’s productions fault. They put too much emphasis on the “men.” We don’t want it.”

Other fans couldn’t help but fully support these takes about the men of RHONJ.

“Absolutely agree. It’s weird that these men are so involved in drama. It’s too sassy for me,” one fan wrote.

“Wow never thought of this. But every word is true. Probably the only franchise we sometimes see more of the men than the women . Stopped watching married to medicine for this reason,” a second fan commented.

John Fuda claims that he is Teresa Giudice’s only storyline on RHONJ.

A third fan shared: “The interaction between Tre and John Fuda felt disgusting. I almost fast forwarded that part because It was totally unnecessary for production to even allow that!”

“Real men don’t get involved in women relationships,” another added.

RHONJ airs on Sundays at 8 pm on Bravo.

Mich too much. But they want those paychecks.

Personally, I wouldn't feel the same about the show if the men weren't involved. I may not have made this same statement years back, but they bring even more to the show (in my opinion, of course).

Sometimes the guys are drug into the story I like a little comedic break from the women screaming

This is so true! The only husbands that I’ve ever liked on the show (Joe Giudice, Chris Laurita, Luis, Bill, Evan, Paulie, and Nate) have always stayed out of the drama and even try to de-escalate conflicts. The show is about houseWIVES, not the husbands.

The NJ men are like high school boys. Sick of them and would love it if they never showed anything they do or say.

I have better things to do then watch these misogynistic pigs! Sorry until bravo gets them out of the women’s business I’m done ! Last night was enough !

Joe is the popular one in the Gorga household, Melissa is his sidekick. Same with Fuda, Rachel is another sidekick. The way those two talk to women is so disrespectful. I like to see fun camaraderie between the guys but some try to outdo the women! Joe Benigno is known for his messy one liners especially when he bought up the rumor of Evan cheating at boys night. The guys are too involved with drama.

The Men have been involved since the show's conception, so no, they belong on the show, i love hearing from all the guys.

Ditto!!!

Joey Gorga & John Fuda love the limelight more than their wives.
Andrea May 8, 2024 - 10:26 am
I don't mind seeing them having a good time every now and then but getting involved with the drama is too much now with Jersey. Fuda is the absolute worst. He loves the attention.

YES...too much camera time. Too much man gossip (?) Too much macho BS. It's a turnoff. This is a housewives show. These men aren't the stars. Give them their own shows if Bravo wants to showcase them.
Jacquie May 8, 2024 - 8:48 am
Yes. I don't want to see them drinking out of dildo's as well as all the talk about their wives in the bedroom. That shows such a lack of respect. PLEASE.... stop with the husbands

I actually enjoy the guys when they are bustin’ chops with each other. They can be really funny. But when they are “ gossiping” and being all up in the women business , speaking about it with each other it’s freakin ridiculous and stupid.
Zap It May 8, 2024 - 8:54 am
Agreed...they use to be fun to watch when they were joking around. Bravo should have left it that way. It added humor and some fun.

Agreed! Small doses here and there an episode are fine, but the HW should always be the main event! And I have said this even for Melissa and Rachel, I think Joe and John have no business being on media interviews with them, those are those ladies interviews, especially Rachal she has every right to still be establishing her own character right now. I have said this for years about Melissa, you can go back and see my messages about it, I believe even her own standing would be stronger if she did not have to share the spotlight so much with Joe in the media. A little of the men is fine, but the guy should not be doing their own media and if their scenes are taking up more than 25% of the show, the give them their own show Bravo at that point and if people want to watch the men of NJ instead they can. SouthernCharm, VPR, Summer House over the years have always favored the men and Housewives was more for the women on Bravo. On NJ the needle is just swinging too far a bit now.

I just don’t like them gossiping with each other about their wives issues with the other wives. Seriously what guys do that?! It’s weird. Now them speaking on their wives issues with the other housewives to their own wives I get it . That natural . As far as them going on interviews, I get it ,for support, but actually being a part of the interview. Yeah no,. I feel this way about all the guys, I’m not single out any one .
Jshappyday May 8, 2024 - 3:33 pm
Support is fine, and even a question or two, it’s when they take over. NJ is really the only city where the men go with many of the HW to interviews if you notice and for some of the HWs it is every single interview the Husband is with them and that is too much. NJ still needs to be a Housewives show!
