If you thought the drama was over in Jersey, think again. With The Real Housewives of New Jersey on hiatus and rumors swirling of a full-blown Season 15 reboot, Bravo fans have been dying for updates. Enter Jennifer Fessler—always ready with a quip and, apparently, a little casting tea.
In a candid April 2025 interview with Page Six Radio, Jennifer Fessler confirmed what many had suspected: RHONJ is deep in casting mode. “I have [some information],” she teased, before adding with typical Housewives flair, “I don’t know who. …Well, some of the women know some of the women that have been called.”
That cryptic tidbit alone might’ve been enough to stir the pot, but Jennifer Fessler wasn’t done. She revealed that she had a firsthand run-in with a potential new cast member—in one of the most on-brand RHONJ settings imaginable.
“I went into a nail place recently…and some woman came up to me and said, ‘Uh, just so you know I’m interviewing and there’s a bunch of us interviewing,’” Fessler shared. “And I was like ‘Thank you for the information.’ And you know. ‘Good luck to you.’ And so, I know that they’re definitely casting.”
The mystery woman’s boldness may have shocked some, but Fessler was unfazed. When asked if the woman was giving “Real Housewife” energy, her response was hilariously on-brand: “She seemed really nice, so no,” Fessler cracked. “Well, she was very nice to me. Maybe that’s a Real Housewife thing. Nice to me and then she probably left and be like, ‘I just met that ugly girl.’”
Classic Fessler.
With Season 14 featuring heavyweights like Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, and Margaret Josephs, alongside newer faces like Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda—not to mention “friends” Jackie Goldschneider and Fessler herself—the bar is high. But the future of the cast remains a mystery.
“So, I don’t know what it’s—who knows what it’s going to look like,” Fessler admitted. “I mean, you know, everybody has their own sort of theories.”
One thing’s for sure: whether it’s nail salon sightings or Bravo boardroom shakeups, Jersey never sleeps.
