A new report claims that the RHONJ cast has been left “dumbfounded” after a “violent” scene was reportedly cut from the season 14 finale episode.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast gathered on Monday, July 15, at Rails Steakhouse in Towaco, N.J., to film the watch party-style reunion.
During the special, the Garden State Real Housewives cast watched the dramatic final episode of the season play out on a “big screen.” Then, they provided “commentary” on everything that went down.
Melissa Gorga was in one room with co-stars Jen Fessler, Margaret Josephs, Rachel Fuda, and Danielle Cabral. Meanwhile, Teresa Giudice was joined by Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, and Jackie Goldschneider in another room.
The RHONJ season 14 watch party reunion alternative will air on Sunday, August 11.
However, an insider now claims that the RHONJ season 14 watch party-style reunion has become controversial due to footage allegedly being cut from the finale episode.
“As you guys know, Danielle threw a glass pitcher at Jennifer,” a source alleged to OK! Magazine on July 29. “[But] for some reason, the action of Danielle actually throwing the glass pitcher at Jen was cut. You still see glass on the floor, and there’s obviously a ton of tension in the room, but the scene doesn’t make complete sense, as no one completely understands what caused it to be there.”
“The cast was dumbfounded when they were brought together to see the finale at Rails and discuss it,” the source continued. “None of them understood why this scene would have been cut. It was a completely violent, insane outburst, and fans should truly get to see it in order to fully grasp the severity of the situation and what happened.”
According to the source, no one in the RHONJ cast knows why the scene was allegedly cut. However, some believe the scene was scrapped due to legal reasons and to protect Danielle, who had already gotten into a physical altercation with Jennifer earlier in the season.
It seems that producers may want to protect Danielle in order to bring her back for season 15 of RHONJ.
Sources also claim that the RHONJ cast is in the dark when it comes to season 15.
“So much is up in the air as to who, if anyone, will stay. So, some people are surmising it’s possible they wanted to not make Danielle look as bad for the audience in case they decide to bring her back. She is on the younger end, so it’s totally plausible they could be trying to build a cast around her. Danielle does have an issue with Teresa at this point. And whatever ends up happening with the show… many don’t feel there is a show without Teresa. So, ultimately, if they keep anyone, it probably will end up being her and one or two others,” the source explained.
“She’s been with the show since [its] inception. And when you think RHONJ, you don’t immediately think Teresa. It truly is her show,” the insider added.
