RHONJ Cast: Melissa and Joe Gorga Open Up About Bravo’s Gag Order

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Bravo has the RHONJ cast on lockdown for the remainder of season 13 due to things getting way too ugly on social media.

Melissa and Joe Gorga discussed the gag order on the most recent episode of Melissa’s On Display podcast, which is hilarious, considering they aren’t supposed to be talking about the show or the gag order.

“We got a gag order for the first time ever,” Joe explains. “Let’s tell the truth. We, we’ve been on the show for 13 years, and we’ve never been on a gag order through Bravo. We’ve never had a say, ‘You cannot talk about the show, you cannot talk about anything. You can’t repost anything really about the show.’ So it’s something new.”

Melissa elaborated, “The whole entire cast was told [to stop talking about the show]. We all got a little slap on the wrist because, for some reason, this season has been really kooky. People just getting kooky on social media. There’s a lot of lies. There’s a lot of false narratives out there. So, Bravo for the first time ever in 13 years [to give ] all of us, every single one of us [a gag order is crazy.]”

She continued, “So if you guys notice that we are not reposting fan accounts, we are not allowed. Um, the whole cast is not allowed. I kind of like it. I love it. We’re not allowed to really discuss the show other than the approved pictures we’re allowed to post. So this is like the first time ever that this has happened to us. And it’s just so weird. This year everything’s different.”

“But don’t believe everything you hear on social media and believe,” Joe notes, to which Melissa adds, “Almost zero this year. I would never say it so strongly this year. It’s like next-level weirdness. Like to the point that I giggle.”

AllAboutTRH gave exclusive insight into the RHONJ gag order on the March 24 episode of our podcast.

The gag order went out after Melissa, and Margaret Josephs did a series of interviews after Bravo told the entire cast to “lay off and stop talking about the show” because “things are getting so out of hand” outside the show on social media.

Meanwhile, the Gorgas are ALREADY renovating their brand new Franklin Lakes home. Earlier this month, AllAboutTRH dished about some changes the Gorgas made to their new home, but it seems now that Joe and Melissa are doing even more updates to their home.

According to photos posted by @MelissasOldNose on Twitter, Melissa and Joe are changing the outside style of their home after receiving so much criticism on social media from fans.

“I am not even kidding, their house is the most basic on the block. They stand out terribly,” a source tells @MelissasOldNose on Twitter.

The source adds: “Their neighbors’ houses are nice, elegant. Theirs is so ugly. It looks so out of place. Their lawn is a MESS. No one can possibly live there, so IDK where they have been taking their pictures because this house is FAR from done.”

RHONJ airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.

Bravo imposed a gag order on the RHONJ cast for season 13 due to the escalating negativity and false narratives being spread on social media.

The entire RHONJ cast has been instructed to refrain from discussing the show or reposting anything related to it on social media. They are only allowed to share approved pictures.

Melissa and Joe Gorga are renovating their new home in Franklin Lakes because they received criticism from fans on social media. They want to change the outside style of their house to better fit in with their neighbors’ elegant homes.

Denise Richards: RHOBH Return Analysis

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Denise Richards rumored return to RHOBH has the Bravoverse in a tizzy yet there seems to be a very calculated reason for why the former Bond girl is returning to reality TV.

A new report from Radar Online, claims that Denise is only returning to RHOBH because she is desperate for cash.

The 52-year-old was spotted filming for season 13 of RHOBH on Friday, March 24 at one of Kyle Richards‘ infamous dinner parties.

After images and a short clip of the dinner were shared on Instagram Stories, Bravo fans spotted a place tag with the name “Denise” written on it. Denise’s voice could also be heard on a clip from the party that Kyle shared on her Instagram Story. This news elated RHOBH fans, who couldn’t be happier to learn that Denise was filming for the show.

Denise Richards: RHOBH Return Analysis 19

While Denise’s role for the upcoming season is unknown it seems that Denise is hoping to snatch her diamond back in order cash in on a major pay day.

This rumored return by Denise comes almost three years after she left RHOBH over a pay dispute with Bravo.

A source previously told Page Six, that Denise departed RHOBH due to her demanding an “excessive” amount of money to return for season 11. Bravo denied Denise’s request which resulted in her walking away from the show.

“People think that she didn’t want to come back and that it’s because she got ‘mean-girled’ [by other cast members],” the source explained. “The truth is she did want to come back. But [Bravo] didn’t want to pay her what she asked for. It was way out of her pay grade.”

However, this time around Denise is willing to accept a lower offer to return for season 13.

Why? Well, it seems Denise and her husband Aaron Phypers are strapped for cash due to various lawsuits.

According to Radar Online, Phypers was recently sued for over an unpaid $190k loan from November 2019. While Aaron agreed to pay $11k in interest he was allegedly failed to make any payments on the loan.

As AllAboutTRH previously reported, in recent months, Denise has been vocal about her desire to return to RHOBH.

“I definitely would consider it,” Denise said on Sirius XM’s Jeff Lewis Live in February. “They haven’t approached me, though.”

Season 13 of RHOBH is set to star Kyle Richards, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, and Crystal Minkoff. There is also talk of Bravo adding 1-2 new Housewives into the mix but those reports have yet to be confirmed.

RHOBH is expected to return for season 13 in mid-to-late 2023.

Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss: Explosive Reunion Sparks Chaos

written by Lara Sophia

Buckle up Bravo fans because the upcoming Pump Rules season ten reunion is going to be one wild ride!

The Pump Rules cast filmed the season ten reunion on Thursday, March 23 in Los Angeles. AllAboutTRH previously broke down everything you needed to know about the Pump Rules reunion last Friday but now some new tea has emerged that needs to be spilled.

While there was plenty of drama for the Pump Rules cast to rehash when they sat down with Andy Cohen to film the season ten reunion, the main focus of the reunion was Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss‘ seven month long affair and the 39-year-old’s split with Ariana Madix.

According to a new report, Andy had to physically restrain two Pump Rules cast members when discussing Tom and Raquel’s scandalous affair.

While unclear which two cast members needed to be restrained, TMZ reports it’s “not someone you’d guess.”

However, it has been confirmed that the near brawl did not include Ariana, Raquel, or Tom.

“It was like a nuclear bomb went off in the studio,” the insider shared.

The taping for the season ten Pump Rules reunion lasted five hours however the drama heated up within minutes and “never let up.”

The insider adds that not one Pump Rules cast member took Tom or Raquel’s side including their mentor and boss Lisa Vanderpump.

“The anger towards them is to be expected,” an insider reveals to Page Six. A second source confirms that the claims about the reunion are “accurate.”

During the reunion, Andy peppered Tom and Raquel about their affair. The two explained that they initially hooked up here and there but claim it didn’t turn into a full-blown affair until months later.

The two are reportedly still together however a source tells TMZ it won’t last.

“That relationship is like on an egg timer,” the insider shared. “It’s not gonna last.”

As for Ariana, she cried numerous times during the reunion with a source saying that her tears never became over the top. An insider points out that it’s obvious Ariana has been going to therapy over the whole ordeal.

The same can’t be said for Tom, who was destroyed at the reunion and even had to take a break to escape the heat.

A source tells Deux Moi that Tom was “going hard defending his actions and Raquel.” He tried to “justify” the affair “with the narrative that [he and Ariana] weren’t happy and never had sex.”

During a break from filming the reunion, Tom and Raquel were spotted having a heart-to-heart. The two were smoking and wearing matching all-black outfits.

This was the rumored couple’s first sighting together since the news of their affair broke earlier this month after Ariana dumped Tom and ended their nine year relationship.

Pump Rules airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.

Candiace Dillard’s Relationship with ‘Demon’ RHOP Co-star Gizelle Bryant

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Candiace Dillard shares where she stands with Real Housewives of Potomac co-star Gizelle Bryant after filming season 3 of RHUGT.

The Bravolebs filmed season 3 of RHUGT after enduring a difficult and drama filled season of RHOP months prior that left their once strong friendship shattered to pieces.

It’s safe to say Canidace wasn’t excited going into filming season 3 of RHUGT with Gizelle. In fact, the singer says it she went to hell and back while filming the Real Housewives spinoff show last summer.

“I’m around all these new girls. The one girl that I know really well is a demon, so, like, who are my friends? I felt just alone,” Candiace teases on Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, noting that she had “bad anxiety” about traveling across the world to Phuket, Thailand.

The 37-year-old admitted that she was nervous about opening up to her fellow RHUGT co-stars, which included Alexia Nepola, Marysol Patton, Heather Gay, Whitney Rose, Leah McSweeney, and Porsha Williams, about her issues with Gizelle.

“It didn’t feel appropriate to talk about in front of strangers, so I was just in my room,” the singer explains. “My mom [Dorothy Dillard] was checking in on me every morning, like, ‘How are you doing? It’s gonna be fine, you’re gonna be great.’” 

Candiace was thankful she had her mom to confide in because she didn’t think Gizelle would be able to be there for her during her time of distress.

“You can’t expect humanity from just a rock,” she adds. “Rocks don’t have feelings.”

Eventually, Candiace was able to bond with a majority of the RHUGT ladies and build particularly close friendship with Real Housewives of New York alum Leah McSweeney.

In the early days of the trip Candiace was dealing with feelings of isolation and was also still recovering from a heated fight with her husband Chris Bassett that happened just hours before she left for Thailand.

“I was still dealing with a lot of feelings about Chris and I not speaking and having literally gotten into a huge argument five minutes before going to get in my car and go to the airport and not being able to resolve it,” she admits.

She notes that she is now in a “great place” with Chris. The RHOP couple wed in 2018, with Candiace adding that she is still “obsessed” with her husband.

“Then there are things happening in my family that I can’t talk about that were affecting me, too,” she teases. “And then hearing everybody else tell their personal stories and then talk about their families and what they had gone through, it was just a wave of emotion washing over me.”

Notably, Chris and Candiace had a very difficult season of RHOP but the Housewife insists she’s let go of any anger felt while filming the RHOP season 7 reunion.

At the reunion, the RHOP couple confronted Gizelle amid her claims that Chris made her “completely uncomfortable” during a one on one conversation after the RHOP season 6 reunion.

Both denied Gizelle’s claims with Candiace in particularly going to bat to support her husband’s character.

“Both Chris and I … left the reunion feeling like we left everything on the couches. And I was really proud of Chris because I think he emoted well and I was happy that he finally got to speak on the stage where everybody’s eyes and ears are open,” she explains. “And we left everything there.”

RHOP is expected to return for season 8 in late 2023 or early 2024.

Season 3 of RHUGT is currently airing on Peacock. New episodes drop every Thursday.

RHONJ: The Gorgas and Wakiles to be Neighbors As Kathy and Rich Are Building a New Home on the Same Street As Joe and Melissa’s Recent Build

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Just when you think it couldn’t get any crazier in RHONJ universe – it does! It looks like the Wakiles and the Gorgas will be neighbors very soon

Let’s breakdown what we know!

On Saturday, RHONJ alums Kathy and Richards Wakile revealed that they bought a property in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey to build their next house on.

According to the former Bravoleb’s realtor, the property is “nearly 2 acres with 300 feet of lakefront property.”

The realtor added: “After enduring a barrage of offers, the Wakiles can now start on their newest project called home!”

The couple then shared an update with their followers on their Instagram Stories.

“@Kathywakile & I can’t wait to share our next project with you all!” Rich wrote along with a photo of the already started construction. “Kathy is the designer & decorator always.”

Kathy reposted Rich’s story adding, ” Excited to get started @richardwakile. It was love at first sight before it was even for sale.”

This news comes just months after the RHONJ alums sold their previous Franklin Lakes home. The two sold their longtime Franklin Lakes mansion in November 2022 for $3.65M after building the 7,529 sq ft home in 2016.

AllAboutTRH was interested in learning more about Kathy and Rich’s new home so we did a little digging and found some very interesting tea.

Kathy and Rich’s new home is just doors away from Melissa and Joe Gorga‘s new home. In fact, the two families will be living on the very same street!

In February, the Wakiles purchased 267 Indian Trail Dr in Franklin Lakes for $2.6M while the Gorgas purchased their property located at 300 Indian Trail Dr in April of 2021 for $950k. The Gorgas knocked down the house on the property and built their dream home from the ground up. After nearly two years of building, the couple moved into their new home in late 2022. Looks like the Wakiles plan to do something similar except it’s unclear if there was an existing home on the land they purchased.

The homes are a one minute walk from each other. Crazy!

rhonj
RHONJ: The Gorgas and Wakiles to be Neighbors As Kathy and Rich Are Building a New Home on the Same Street As Joe and Melissa's Recent Build 44

We have so many questions about the Wakiles decision to build a house so close to the Gorgas when they aren’t exactly on good terms.

There’s been bad blood between the family’s since the Wakiles exited RHONJ.

The Gorgas and the Wakiles both joined RHONJ during season three. Both joined the show behind the back of Teresa Giudice, who starred on the show since its premiere in 2009.

While Melissa and Joe remain on the show, the Wakiles were kicked to the curb by Bravo after season 5. Kathy did appear on seasons 6 and 7 as a friend of the Housewives.

For years, Melissa claimed that her and Joe’s relationship with the Wakiles ended because “they are a little sour about not being on the show any longer.”

However, in February 2023, Melissa claimed that she and Joe cut Kathy and Rich out of their lives to keep the peace with Teresa and now regret the decision.

“I think we do regret pulling away from Kathy and Rosie. Joe always thinks about that as well. I think he did that for her when she got out of prison and she thought that was her next step and he wanted to please her, but you can see him in that scene. He was very uncomfortable and it’s the only family he has and we love Kathy and Rosie and I’m sad that we don’t have them,” Melissa said on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

Yet, Kathy doesn’t seem to feel the same way. Just days after Melissa’s claims on WWHL, Kathy shared her feelings in a comment on Instagram.

Kathy explained that she’s not going to pretend or rehearse a storyline to be on RHONJ. She also threw shade at certain people getting “caught up” in the fame.

See what else Kathy had to say below!

RHONJ airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.

Denise Richards Returns to RHOBH for Season 13

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

9021-OMG!

Things are getting very interesting in the Bravoverse. It seems that Denise Richards may be making her triumphant return to RHOBH this season!

The Bravo alum was spotted filming for season 13 of RHOBH this week. Let’s breakdown everything we know – so far!

Denise attended a dinner party at Kyle Richards‘ house that was being filmed for season 13.

rhobh
Denise Richards Returns to RHOBH for Season 13 52

In one screenshot you can see a place tag with Denise’s name on it.

via BravoHistorian

Then in an Instagram Story shared by Kyle, you can hear Denise talking with good friend and RHOBH star Garcelle Beauvais. In the clip, you can see the Bravo cameras in the background, capturing it all on film.

We also can report that E! News‘ Justin Sylvester also attended the dinner. He is a longtime friend of Kyle’s and even used to be her assistant. Bravo fans will recognize him from the early seasons of RHOBH.

So what does this all mean? Well, it could very well mean that Denise is back for season 13 of RHOBH. Or it could simply be a one-off appearance. Only time will tell.

However, this does align with Denise’s recent statement that she is open to returning to RHOBH.

Back in February, Denise appeared on Sirius XM’s Jeff Lewis Live, where host Jeff Lewis asked her if she would “consider” returning to RHOBH.

“I definitely would consider it,” Denise admitted before adding, “They haven’t approached me, though.”

Speaking of RHOBH, Jeff insinuated that Lisa Rinna was probably a “hurdle” that kept Denise from returning to the show considering their major “falling out” during season ten.

Yet with Rinna now gone from RHOBH, this would be the perfect time for Denise to give it another shot at being a reality TV star.

Rinna announced her exit from RHOBH in January 2023 after eight seasons on the show.

On top of all of that, Denise being spotted filming for season 13 makes Nicolette Sheridan’s recent claims that Bravo is knocking down her door to join RHOBH all that more interesting.

The Desperate Housewives alum recently tweeted that Bravo keeps begging her to join the season 13 cast of RHOBH.

“Knocking at my door…how desperate are y’all to have me?” Nicolette tweeted on Saturday, March 11 adding, “@BravoTV@Andy#RHOBH.”

This tweet puzzled a lot of fans at the time but makes a lot more sense now! Perhaps Bravo is hoping to get both Denise and Nicolette to join the season 13 cast of RHOBH. Imagine the drama!

Season 13 of RHOBH is set to star Kyle Richards, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, and Crystal Minkoff. There is also talk of Bravo adding 1-2 new Housewives into the mix but those reports have yet to be confirmed.

RHOBH is expected to return for season 13 in mid-to-late 2023.

Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice’s Fiery Exchange Over Gia’s Stay at the Shore House

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

The drama between RHONJ stars and sisters-in-law Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice is heating up!

On this week’s episode of RHONJ, Teresa made some bold and valid claims about her brother and sister-in-law amid their trip down the shore.

According to Teresa, Joe, and Melissa have never invited her, and her now-husband, Louie Ruelas, to stay at their shore house located in Toms River, New Jersey.

While staying at Jennifer Aydin‘s shore house, she asked the RHONJ OG if she “ever stayed at [her] brother’s beach house,” to which Teresa replied, “No, never.”

“Gia asked to stay there once, and Melissa said no,” Teresa added. This shocked Jennifer as well as RHONJ newbie Danielle Cabral. Viewers at home were also surprised by the claim.

“I wanna be around people that love us,” Teresa told her co-stars. “Like, I feel like you guys are happy for us.”

Despite Teresa’s claims, sources close to the Gorgas tell Page Six why they said no to allowing Gia to crash at their shore house.

“The reason she said no is because it was on a weekend where Joe and Melissa were not going to be at the house,” the insider insists.

The insider says that Gia “wanted to stay there with a couple of friends” when she was “underage” however the reality TV couple “didn’t feel comfortable” letting the college student stay there with “no adult supervision.”

“They obviously love Gia,” the source insists. “If Joe or Melissa — just one adult — was at their house, they would have let her stay.”

While this “insider” tea is an interesting theory, Melissa told a different story on the RHONJ: After Show. Instead of addressing the claim, Melissa said she didn’t want to talk about her four nieces despite bad-mouthing them multiple times while filming season 13 of RHONJ.

“I just am not talking about the kids, okay? It’s like so sad,” Melissa said on the RHONJ: After Show before scoffing off claims that she and Joe would say no to Gia staying at their shore house.

“But you know what’s so funny? Why have I never been asked to stay at her shore house? Why don’t we ever talk about that?” Melissa notes.

Next up, Melissa sent a strong message to Teresa; telling her to “shut the f–k up,” and “stop [being] fake.”

“I am so sick of the double standard, like, you’re not staying at my house. Because you don’t want to shut the and stop faking. Just stop. Do us all a favor, please cuz I’m exhausted,” she said.

The On Display podcast host questions why should she invite Teresa to stay at her shore house when her sister-in-law, doesn’t even like her.

“[Teresa] says to Louie this season, ‘I am not close with my sister-in-law. Why would I invite her family to my wedding?'” Melissa explains.

In reality, the RHONJ OG told her now-husband Louie “If I didn’t put Melissa in my wedding, I’m not close to Melissa. Why would I be close to her family?”

According to Melissa, this comment is exactly why Teresa shouldn’t expect an invite to her shore house. In fact, Melissa says Teresa should just stay at her BFF, Jennifer Aydin’s house.

“Why would you sleep in my house? It doesn’t take a genius right? Why are you staying at my house? Stay at your bridesmaid’s house. That’s why. Stay at the girl that you want to walk you down the aisle. Oh my God, it doesn’t make any sense,” Melissa said angrily.

RHONJ airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.

Thoughts on Melissa’s comments? Who’s side are you on – Teresa or Melissa? Sound off below!

Teresa claimed that Joe and Melissa never invited her to their shore house because she stated that Melissa said no when her daughter Gia asked to stay there once.

Joe and Melissa said no to Gia staying at their shore house because they were not going to be at the house during that weekend and they didn’t feel comfortable letting an underage college student stay there without adult supervision.

Melissa refused to invite Teresa to her shore house because Teresa has openly stated that she is not close with Melissa and doesn’t like her. Melissa believes that if Teresa doesn’t want to invite her to her own wedding, then there is no reason for Teresa to expect an invite to her shore house.

Pump Rules Reunion: Unveiling Secrets, Seating Arrangements, and Cast Controversies

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Buckle up, the drama is coming!

The Pump Rules season ten cast filmed their most anticipated reunion ever on Thursday, March 23.

Ariana Madix, Tom Sandoval, James Kennedy, Scheana Shay, Tom Schwartz, Lala Kent, Katie Maloney, and Raquel Leviss sat down with Andy Cohen and Lisa Vanderpump to hash out all theIr season ten drama, including Sandoval and Raquel’s cheating scandal that is STILL rocking the Bravoverse on a daily basis.

We are going to break down all the reunion tea but before we do let’s take a look at the seating charts for the season ten reunion. Yes, I said seating charts as in plural.

For the first time in Pump Rules history there will be two seating charts for the reunion with Scheana and Raquel each taking turns sitting on the reunion couch. Due to their ongoing legal issues, two cannot be within 100 yards of each other. As AllAboutTRH previously reported, Raquel filed a restraining order against Scheana on March 2, claiming that Scheana physically attacked her after learning of her and Sanodval’s affair on March 1.

The only way to have both Scheana and Raquel attend the reunion in person was to have them swap spots throughout the reunion taping.

Check out the season ten seating chart below. It is quite odd that Sandoval and Raquel are sitting next to each other adn that Scheana is sitting on Sandoval’s side of the couch when she’s best friends with Ariana. Guess Bravo did the best they could to make it work.

Scheana and Raquel’s musical chairs isn’t the only Pump Rules reunion first happening. According to Entertainment Tonight, Sandoval and Ariana will be filming a separate segment with just them and Andy.

”Bravo wants to make sure Ariana and Tom have the ability talk, so Andy Cohen is planning to do a sit-down with just them, either together or separately depending on how things go,” a source says. “There is also talk of Raquel getting alone time with or without Sandoval.”

Now, let’s breakdown some of the reunion tea that’s floating around.

According to Lala, the cast’s phones were being taken away at the start of the reunion. Why? Well, apparently there is a leak among the cast. Lala revealed this on the most recent episode of her Give Them Lala podcast.

”We got a call they are taking our phones because there is a leak,” Lala confessed before noting that she thinks the leak is coming from some of her cast mates shady friends.

Deux Moi also reports that “Sandoval [went] hard defending his actions and Raquel. [He was] trying to justify it with the narrative that they weren’t happy and never had sex.”

C Speaking of what’s to come this season on Pump Rules, the Bravoverse is also learning when the cast first suspected something was going on between Raquel and Sandoval.

Turns out some members of Pump Rules crew grew suspicious of Sandoval and Raquel’s growing friendship not long after they began their affair. The suspicion started when James’ girlfriend Ally Lewber spotted Raquel and Sandoval embracing each other at The Abbey in West Hollywood in August 2022.

“James’ girlfriend, Ally, saw Tom and Raquel at The Abbey dancing alone together and thought it was weird,” one source tells Page Six. “When they realized they’d been spotted looking cozy, Tom and Raquel appeared to act a little strange like they were caught doing something bad.”

“The cast began speculating that something weird was happening then, and Ally was the first to call it out,” adds the source. “But Raquel and Tom were both adamantly denying it at the time.”

A second source explains that Bravo cameras were not rolling when Sandoval and Raquel’s canoodling session took place at The Abbey despite production for season ten of Pump Rules being in full swing.

“Ally did not initially mention what she saw while filming,” the second source says. “She confided in other cast members off-camera simply because she was very much bothered by Tom and Raquel’s interaction.”

“Over the past couple months, the girls have been thinking things weren’t adding up,” the source notes.

Meanwhile, Jax Taylor revealed on reunion day that he wished the ladies of Pump Rules good luck via text message.

”Knock ‘em dead today girls!! Don’t forget to breathe. You’re pros. Thinking of ya,” Jax texted Lala, Ariana, and Scheana. All three thanked Jax for the well-wishes.

Are you excited for the Pump Rules season 10 reunion? Sound off below!

 There are two seating charts for the reunion because Scheana and Raquel cannot be within 100 yards of each other due to their ongoing legal issues. Raquel filed a restraining order against Scheana after Scheana physically attacked her upon learning about her affair with Sandoval.

Yes, there will be a separate segment with Tom Sandoval and Ariana. Andy Cohen plans to do a sit-down with just them, either together or separately, depending on how things go. There is also talk of Raquel getting alone time with or without Sandoval.

The cast’s phones were taken away because there is a leak among the cast. Lala revealed on her podcast that they received a call about the leak, and she suspects it is coming from some of her castmates’ shady friends.

RHONJ Gorgas: Time for a Change

It’s time for the Gorgas to go, according to former RHONJ producer Carlos King.

The former Bravo producer thinks Joe and Melissa Gorga’s time on the New Jersey Housewives franchise has come to an end.

Carlos discussed his feelings about Joe and Melissa‘s reality TV future on the March 22 episode of his Reality With the King podcast.

To start, Carlos explains that he’s simply sharing his opinion before noting that he has not recapped much of RHONJ this season because it’s just the “same old” drama between the Gorgas and Teresa Giudice.

“The reason why I have it recapped the season is because I feel like it’s the same old, same old Real Housewives of New Jersey needs a refresh. I love the cast. I’ve said that before. I think this cast is one of the best,” Carlos explains. “I love everybody on the show. What I’ve been watching so far is just not grabbing me because I feel like even with two new ladies, there’s too much inventory on the old beef – Teresa versus Melissa and Jennifer Aydin versus Margaret Josephs.”

” We’ve seen it, we’ve seen it for so many seasons that I think this season, I’m tired of it. I’m not as invested as I was before in it,” he admits.

That’s when Carlos dropped the bomb that he believes “it’s time for the Gorgas to go.”

“I am not a Melissa Gorge hater,” Carlos insists.” I’m not. I’ve said it before, I think Melissa is beautiful. I thought she was great for the show. At one point. I’ve even told Teresa, ‘I know y’all don’t get along but Teresa as a producer, [Melissa’s] great for the show. She’s interesting, and I like what she brings to the show.'”

“I am sick and tired of this Teresa versus Joe and Melissa child. We have exhausted all aspects of that relationship,” Carlos says, adding, “I think Joe and Melissa know that without Teresa, they just don’t have a storyline.”

Carlos then says that he never bought any of Melissa’s storylines, including her wanting to have a baby or find her unconfirmed long-lost sister, and so on. He calls Melissa’s storylines “weak and lazy” and notes that “Melissa ain’t got much going on unless she gets into it with Teresa.”

“Because Melissa and Joe don’t have much going on, that’s the reason why I think it’s time for them to exit stage left. This show is not going to survive with Joe Melissa on another season. It’s just not,” Carlos shares.

While Carlos does think the Gorgas’ time on RHONJ has come to an end, he does give Melissa and Joe props for all that have brought to the show over the years.

“I will compliment Joe and Melissa for bringing some very interesting family storylines to the show. Joe and Melissa brought another breath of fresh air to the show when they first got on,” admits. “I think Joe Gorge is a great reality star.”

However, Carlos’ opinion of Joe changed when he saw episode three of the current season.

“I thought that until episode three of this season when Joe was facing off with Louie at a restaurant with all the guys. Joe Gorge gave a good old Al Pacino performance. He was like at the head of the table like he’s the Beyonce of the group, and he was looking across the table at Louie [Ruelas]. I felt that Joe was just trying [too hard.] Joe, baby, you are a bad actor. That was some of the worst acting I’ve seen.”

The Kingdom Reign Entertainment CEO believes that Melissa and Joe know they have no role on the show without their drama with Teresa.

He also believes that RHONJ will succeed tremendously without the Gorgas.

“I think Melissa and Joe understands that without [the] Teresa drama, they just are expendable, which is why they got on the show in the first place,” Carlos shares. “I really do believe if you remove Melissa and Joe from the equation, the show will have a chance of succeeding.”

As for Teresa, Carlos believes RHONJ is her show and notes that she has given so much of her life to the show and still has more stories to tell.

“At this point, it’s Teresa’s show. Teresa gives so much to the show, so much to it. Teresa, she said to herself, she had a baby on the show, she got divorced on the show, she is getting married, remarried on the show. She buried her parents on the show like she had to suffer through going to jail on the show in the coming home.”

“Teresa has given every single piece of her life to that show. That’s why it’s her show. And that doesn’t dismiss Margaret, Jennifer, and Dolores [Catania]. It truly doesn’t. It does not. They’re all great. And I love all of those girls too. I even think they’ll say like, look, it’s fine. Teresa is the marquee. When you think of New Jersey Housewives, you think of Teresa, she flipped the table,” Carlos explains.  “That’s fine.”

He points out: “What isn’t fine is Melissa and Joe continuously not having anything else going on, but starting this beef with Teresa. And I’m not saying that Teresa’s always innocent, but I also think at some point, guys, you gotta move on from it and say, what else do we have?”

“In order for the Real Housewives of New Jersey to continue, the Gorgas must leave. Their time is up. Teresa already says she’s never talking to them again. And that makes me even sad to repeat that because I have nine siblings, and I know how much family means to me. But I have to admit, if I was in Teresa’s shoes and if I saw my sibling use the show to start drama allegedly to get a buck, I won’t talk to them either,” Carlos says. “So if Teresa isn’t talking to you guys anymore, and I believe she’s not, I don’t wanna see Melissa having dinner with Margaret. I’m bored. Change the temperature of the show. That’s what this show needs. It needs a temperature change, and that temperature is [at] zero degrees with the Gorgas. It’s time to go, it’s time to leave. And maybe you guys could be able to do other things with the network.”

Carlos concluded with: “I think [the Gorgas] need to join Kathy [Wakile] and Rosie [Pierri] and get off the show.”

RHONJ airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.

Thoughts on everything Carlos had to say? Is it time for the Gorgas to exit RHONJ? Sound off below!

Carlos King believes that it’s time for the Gorgas to leave the Real Housewives of New Jersey franchise. He feels that their storyline has become repetitive and that the show needs a refresh.

Carlos King believes that the Gorgas’ storyline, particularly their ongoing drama with Teresa Giudice, has been exhausted. He thinks that without Teresa, Joe and Melissa don’t have much going on and that their storylines have been weak and lazy.

Yes, Carlos King believes that the show can succeed without the Gorgas. He thinks that removing them from the equation would give the show a chance to thrive. He also believes that Teresa Giudice is the main star of the show and has given a lot to it over the years.
