Kelly Ripa Says They Can’t Do RHONJ Without Teresa Giudice

Frank Catania claims Teresa Giudice was asked to leave RHONJ ahead of S15 reboot

Bravo fan and Andy Cohen’s BFF, Kelly Ripa, says they cannot do RHONJ without OG Teresa Giudice.

Teresa Giudice recently appeared on Kelly Ripa’s Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast, where the talk show host declared that Bravo could not do the RHONJ franchise with the OG cast member.

“They couldn’t do a show without you,” Kelly told Teresa, who replied, “Thank you. I would hope not. Bravo, I hope you’re listening.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey OG continued, “Listen, I mean Bravo, I guess they have a decision that they’re going to be making.”

She then accused some of her co-stars of attempting to sabotage her happiness on and off the show.

“They all saw how happy I was, they really did, and they all tried to sabotage my happiness. Now I know why I had to go through what I had to go through, is to find Louie.”

As previously reported, the future of the New Jersey Housewives franchise is currently up in the air.

Currently, no decisions about casting for season 15 have been made despite Andy Cohen suggesting that Teresa GiudiceMelissa GorgaRachel FudaDolores CataniaMargaret JosephsJennifer AydinJackie GoldschneiderDanielle Cabral, and Jennifer Fessler will all be replaced.

Sources claim that producers are still unsure about how to move the franchise forward.

“Nothing has been decided yet,” an insider revealed to PEOPLE on July 29.

Other outlets, including OK! Magazine, are also reporting that “So much is up in the air as to who, if anyone, will stay.”

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, July 31, Andy Cohen clarified that it is NOT written in stone that season 15 will feature all fresh faces.

Instead, Andy insists he was throwing out options of what could happen for season 15, which includes a reboot of all fresh faces.

This clarification comes following Monday’s episode of Andy Cohen Live, where Andy said, “Alright, well yes, we are rebooting the show. We’re going to reboot it. We’re going to do something different,” after a caller complained about the New Jersey Housewives franchise.

Teresa is a company person, if Bravo tells her to work with Melissa she will. Melissa loves the camera so she would too. The problem is the friends on both sides who need them to fight to give them a storyline.

STFU Kelly! Worry about your own show and stop azz kissing and blowing smoke up the azz of this disgusting criminal low life. Never could stand Kelly!!

Yes, Tre is the face of RHNJ. But, if the rumors are true and if it has to do with money, I have a feeling she will be cut. I can’t see her working for a fraction of what she used to make.

As well she shouldn't, but the entertainment biz is different than most. Ratings determine pay scales, and the "talent" are merely contract workers.

Talk is cheap, and I don't believe either side is going to willingly walk away from the show. While both have become rich and famous, there are very expensive new homes to pay for. But moreover, neither of their egos are going to allow to other to remain on the show, since apparently the show is what caused the riff in the first place.

Considering we’ve left in droves, Ripa has no idea what she’s talking about.

Of course they can. The ratings are continuing to sink and there is a reason for that. Bravo isn't going to take a financial loss for her. Bravo knows why the ratings are dropping and they never give an OG a pass over behavior that has become unwatchable or phoning it in, not that Teresa phoned in anything. She has also totally disregarded Bravo's annoyance on all the leaks. When the inmate(s) are running the asylum and it results in lost revenue, it is time to cut the inmate(s) loose.

Well when you and Melissa have stated you don’t speak, can’t stand each other, and basically will not film together… I think it’s time for both of you to exit stage left . I was hoping after some time had passed that they would both get their act together. But yeah no, they are both done with each other.

Just my thought here but I really believe that if for once Joe and Mel went to Teresa and sincerely apologized - like for everything last decade , how they snuck on tv, driving wedges all over - she would accept it . They reset, rebuild, reconnect . No rehashing past , it’s dead and buried. Sorry and restart . I think if she apologized to them they’d make her beg, say it wasn’t genuine etc ..and that’s the difference . These people on both sides would bring up a fight memory from 2009 probably lol so the grudges gotta go

I so agree about the grudges Mich.

I disagree, Teresa has become the most inauthentic thing about this show. I need true storyline.
