Teresa Giudice addresses RHONJ drama and her future on the show amid rumors of a major casting shakeup for season 15.
Teresa Giudice isn’t turning the tables on RHONJ just yet!
While appearing on Tuesday’s episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, the Real Housewives of New Jersey OG addressed rumors that she’s leaving the franchise.
“Rumors are that you’re considering leaving the show. Are they true?” Kelly Ripa asked Teresa Giudice, who shut down the unfounded gossip.
“Really? Who put those rumors out there? Maybe some of my cast members,” the 52-year-old replied. “No, I’m not leaving. I started the show. When Bravo wants me to leave, that’s when I’ll leave.”
Live co-host Mark Consuelos noted that Teresa was “there first” and that her tenure on the Real Housewives of New Jersey dates back to the season 1 premiere in 2009.
“Yes, I was there first!” Teresa said before commenting on the alternative reunion the RHONJ cast is having for season 14.
“We’re having something. I don’t know what they’re calling it, but we are doing something. Make sure everyone tunes in for that, but I don’t know what they’re going to call it,” the mom of four said, adding that she’s “glad we’re not doing what we did last year” because of how ugly it turned.
“When you wanted to speak, other people wouldn’t let you speak. Come on, if we have something to say, let us get our point out, and then you speak,” she recalled of last year’s contentious reunion. “We were talking over!”
Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Sundays at 8 pm.

Yawn at all the sycophants' comments praising Teresa. The show would be 100 times better without her. She's like watching a tree grow. Actually trees have a higher IQ and are at least pleasing to the eye.
She didn't start the show. Originally the show was cast around the Manzo family and she was a friend of. Her table flip in the first season finale started this show on it's downward spiral into toxicity, violence, crime and negativity She didn't start it but she will be the death of it.
Let's not get it twisted … Bravo, Sirens Media, and Pimpdaddy himself brought on specific disgruntled family members (behind Teresa's back) to spice things up … they aren't about to muck that up now, just when it's getting good. I think what they didn't plan on was other cast members' (egos) becoming involved along the way. So I predict that next season, they will get back to the basics (minus said egos).
Tre is N.J. If Bravo ever decided to fire her, they might as well close shop and call it a day.
Meho & Large Marge cannot carry a show.
Meho & Large Marge ?
Good for Teresa. Totally agree with what she said about the reunions and as for leaving, that's up to Bravo. But she's committed and good for her.
See,,,she IS walking away and looking back to see if Bravo is behind her to beg her not to leave. They aren't.

gross
Yes you are!
I agree with what Teresa say regarding the reunion (s) actually all the reunions in my opinion. You have them all yelling/ screaming, talking over each other. It’s freakin ridiculous.!
As far as her leaving.. well she’s saying she not on her own. But if bravo lets her go. Well that’s.that
There is no show without Teresa.
Of course, there will be a show without Teresa. There was a show without LVP on BH. Same goes for when Nene left Atlanta and Bethany left NYC. Oh wait, NYC had a total reboot. Eventually the stories get old, feuds become tiresome, and everyone is expendable.
So true. The NYC reboot is a bust and BH was never the same without LVP. Although LVP was on another show so she was still on TV. Can't speak to Atlanta because I don't watch it. Jersey will be done when Teresa leaves.
LVP and Beth left on their own. As you mentioned LVP has another show. Also both ladies don’t need Bravo’s salary. I think Nene was let go, unsure as I don’t watch Atlanta either. I don’t know if Tre can walk away as easily as LVP and Beth.Bravo will decide who stays and who goes. Again LVP left and BH continued.
For Bravo it’s all about ratings. I stopped watch NJ because nothing changed. I’m tired of the same old bickering, feuds, and especially food, drinks, tableware, being thrown. And people being pushed and shoved. With NJ it’s become rinse and repeat every season.
Your name should be Zip It
Of course there is a show. LVP and Bethanny were the top HW's on their shows and life went on. Jersey will be so much better. The felon will be back in prison thanks to Loony.
Nor should she leave . Her back must hurt from carrying 14 years but hey the ungrateful asses on her coattails are still getting a piece of her pie ! I LOL that those twits actually think they can carry a show without her !!!!
