Margaret Josephs claims she would quit RHONJ if Teresa Giudice and Louie Ruelas returned for another season. She also discusses season 15 casting rumors and news.
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Margaret Josephs appeared on the October 3 episode of her co-star and bestie Melissa Gorga’s On Display podcast.
On the podcast, the two RHONJ stars discussed rumors about season 15. At the same time, Margaret Josephs revealed that she would leave the show if Bravo brought Teresa Giudice and Louie Ruelas back for another season.
“I just wouldn’t [come back],” Margaret explained. “I just have to protect my family, and I cannot put myself in that position, and I think it would be dangerous for myself and my family.”
Melissa Gorga then confessed that the RHONJ cast has “no answers” about the franchise’s future.
“We know absolutely nothing,” Margaret Josephs confirmed.
“We don’t know when we’re going back to filming. We’re just on a break. We’re on a much-needed break,” she added. “We don’t know anyone who’s coming back. We don’t know what’s happening.”
The two Bravolebs also agreed that the ongoing discussions about what could happen for season 15 of RHONJ are “like beating a dead horse.”
“I think we all need to just sit back, see what happens, and when it does happen, we all need to accept whatever it is,” Melissa admitted.
“Exactly,” Margaret said in agreement. “Whatever happens is what’s meant to be, and I think we’re fine with it.”
Margaret adds that she has conflicting theories about what Bravo will do for season 15 of RHONJ, including who may come and who may go.
“One day I think they might just be like ‘We’re sick of all these broads in general, let’s just get all new people. ‘ But I think people are invested in us and invested in our lives. I don’t know. We still had good ratings. I change my mind every day,” the 57-year-old shared.
“I don’t wish bad on anybody. Even the people I can’t stomach, I don’t want something bad to happen to them. I really don’t. I don’t want to see anyone lose money. As much as I can’t tolerate and don’t want to be around them, I don’t want anything bad to happen … I don’t want to see them anymore but I don’t want to see the demise of them,” she continued.
Melissa added that she believed the New Jersey Housewives franchise was “killing it” and had “pretty amazing” ratings before Bravo put them on pause ahead of season 15.
“We were doing a really good job. I feel like there could still be a lot of show left. I feel like they could recast and still make a great show, but there’s also another part that makes me feel like, listen, there’s a lot of years we’ve been doing this, and sometimes it is good to elevate and try new things, and go another way,” the 47-year-old explained.
Real Housewives of New Jersey isn’t expected to return for season 15 until late 2025 or early 2026.

Theresa has to GO!! I'm sick of her toxic BS
Desperation is not a good look on these 2.
Wow all you Marge haters must have missed how unbelievably in denial tre is???they all are crazy woman but we keep watching the drama every season!
As usual, Trout mouth is inauthentic in claiming that if “ Tre & Lou are asked back she will not quit RHNJ to protect her family.”
She doesn’t have a business that pulls in that type of income to support her lifestyle.
Sure you will Marge. Why bless your heart that's so cute of you to say.
Remember Marge., it’s just a show?!
Seriously , if you feel this way, or any of these ladies from any franchise. Leave. move on You’re not a damn tree!
Really, Marge, you need to protect your family after what you did to Luis & Tre? Vanessa wanted to destroy Luis' life and you helped her! Vanessa is also a dangerous & deeply disturbed woman who needs mental help. BUT, it's your family who needs protection?!? ? You Gaslighting b!tch! ???
Goodbye Old Hag Magoo! Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out. ??????
Unless I'm missing something, Melissa and Marge are the only two that are giving an ultimatum. If you feel it's that dangerous and you need to protect your family, then quit already! Perhaps both of those clowns know there's a high likelihood they're FIRED.
They think if they keep saying this enough people will believe it lol!! Marge put others in danger with her “ investigations” last couple years .
Exactly!
Exactly! I think Marge & Melissa are spiralling! Both lie and will gaslight when necessary.
Absolutely
I wasn't aware Melissa has given an ultimatum.
She did , not that long ago . Almost same as trout mouth
Yep.
Well that’s just not going to work; surely they both must know this. Talk about career suicide.
Margaret and Melissa are going out of their way to present themselves as besties, but I think they come off more as friendLY, rather than (real) friends. First of all, they are a generation apart, and secondly, if speculation is true, they are polar opposites, politically speaking.
Melissa knows trout will BURY her if she deviates from plan . Talk about knowing where the bodies are lol!
Yep
It's cute she thinks we care
Girl please you’re not that important . Anyway you should’ve been gone after Siggy , what you did to her , Danielle Staub , etc
