Andy Cohen Says RHONJ Shakeup Coming For Season 15 Amid Lack of Communication Between Teresa, Melissa, and Margaret

Buckle up Bravoverse because according to Andy Cohen a major casting shakeup is in the works for season 15 of RHONJ. Get all the tea!

Entertainment Tonight’s Brice Sander appeared on the Gabbing With Gib podcast where he reported that Andy Cohen said the zero interactions or communication between RHONJ stars Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, and Margaret Josephs throughout season 14 will NOT work for future seasons of the series.

This can only mean one thing: A casting shakeup for RHONJ will need to happen for season 15.

Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice have been vocal about their lack of interaction and communication throughout season 14 of RHONJ. When it comes to Margaret and Teresa – they haven’t been on speaking terms since the season 12 reunion when Marge accused Teresa and her husband, Louie Ruelas, of going after her adult son at his job.

On a January episode of her PodcastOne podcast, On Display, Melissa Gorga told Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Denise Richards that it was difficult to film season 14 with Teresa Giudice amid their fallout.

“Ugh, you have no idea,” Melissa admitted. “It’s definitely been a roller coaster, up and down, and we’re about to air [Season 14] in the spring, and it’s very, very different. Like, we literally don’t even speak to each other.”

When asked if her husband, Joe Gorga, is on speaking terms with his sister to which the 44-year-old replied,  “No, zero.”

That same month, the longtime Bravoleb also teased that, unlike past seasons, season 14 of RHONJ won’t primarily focus on the rocky relationship between Melissa and her husband, Joe, and his sister, Teresa.

“The biggest misconception is that it’s gonna be more drama between me and my sister-in-law,” Melissa  told Entertainment Tonight . “We don’t even, like, look at each other.”

When asked at BravoCon 2023 how her and Teresa’s lack of communication changed things for season 14, Melissa said:

“It’s very different from last season… because there’s not a lot of communication, so I think it’s different and better.”

“I think the fans will feel refreshed as well. I mean, weren’t you sick of it?” the 44-year-old asked the crowd before adding, “It’s so much to describe right now, but I think everyone knows where we’re at. Everyone’s reading it. I think it’s, like I said, we’re at a place of peace. I think everyone needs a minute. Everyone needs a break, and there’s just a period on it right now.”

As for Teresa, she told E! News in November that her relationship with Melissa was over for good.

“That chapter’s closed,” the OG New Jersey Housewife declared.

Beyond, Teresa, Margaret, and Melissa, season 14 also stars  Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, Danielle Cabral, and Rachel Fuda.

Jackie Goldschenider and Jennifer Fessler are also returning as friends of the Housewives. 

As always, stay glued to AllAboutTRH for the latest, greatest, and most exclusive Real Housewives of New Jersey tea on the internet!

VIDEO: All the Tea on the RHOC Cast Trip to London – Plus Shannon and Tamra Get Into Screaming Match!

written by Lara Sophia

Get all the details on the RHOC season 18 cast trip to London, including what drama went down and which former OC Housewife was in London at the same time!

Last week the RHOC cast headed to London for their final cast trip of season 18.

It wouldn’t be a Real Housewives cast trip if there wasn’t drama from the get go. Apparently, the flight was delayed by 3 hours so that the RHOC cast could make the flight!

“Not my flight being delayed 3 hours just so the Real Housewives of OC could make it to the airport,” TikTok user @newjerseylover69 shared along with video footage of the RHOC cast arriving for the flight.

Turns out the cast’s late arrival wasn’t the only drama. Photos from the flight show, Shannon Beador and Emily Simpson engaged in a heated conversation while co-star Heather Dubrow looks on nervously.

Oddly enough former RHOC star Kelly Dodd was in London at the same time as the OC Housewives. The former Bravo addressed the coincidence on her Instagram while throwing shade at the RHOC cast for not being “well-traveled.”

Kelly ranted:

“I’m getting tons of messages from everybody that the Real Housewives of Orange County is in London, um, and they want me to go terrorize them. I am here with my daughter. My daughter is half British. Uh, we came here to look at a school.

I didn’t come here on a trip where those girls are not well traveled.

Gina, I don’t think I’ve ever been outside the country other than being on a housewife show, same as Emily. Um, most of the girls haven’t. They’re not worldly, and I am not here to fight. I’m over that. I’m enjoying my glass of champagne with my daughter.

We’re at Selfridges, having a great time. So I would appreciate if, um, people would stop DMing me and texting me that the Real Housewives of Orange County is here. They came here to fight and embarrass themselves. I’m here enjoying myself, enjoying my time, seeing my friends. Jolie’s family lives here.

So please just stop with the DMs. Like, I don’t wanna be a part of that. I’m enjoying my life. So God bless, everybody. Thank you.”

She added that the OC Housewives “look so old” and that she’s “not going to terrorize” the cast while in London.

Meanwhile, during their time in London, the RHOC cast enjoyed some shopping at Camden Market and Oxford Street.

They also grabbed food and drinks at a pub where Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge were overheard feuding.

While most of the argument is inaudible, you can hear Shannon call out Tamra for saying terrible things when drunk then apologizing once she sobers up.

RHONJ: Tommy Manzo heading to trial for 2015 attack on Dina Manzo's current husband, David Cantin.

RHONJ’s Dina Manzo’s ex Tommy Manzo Freed on Bail After Posting $100k Bond

written by Lara Sophia

Tommy Manzo, the ex-husband of RHONJ OG Dina Manzo has been freed on bail as he awaits trial. Get all the details.

The New York Post reports that Tommy Manzo has been freed on bail after posting a $100,000 bond ahead of his May racketeering trail for allegedly hiring a mobster to beat up the now-husband of his ex-wife Dina Manzo.

Tommy Manzo, who is a New Jersey based restaurateur and co-owns The Brownstone in Paterson with his brother Albert Manzo, surrendered his passport and cannot travel outside of New Jersey and New York as part of his bail agreement.

The much-anticipated trial is set to being May 20.

Federal authorities claims Tommy recruited Lucchese crime family member, John Perna, to rough up David Cantin, the then-boyfriend, now-husband, of his ex-wife Dina Manzo, in 2015.

In return for completing the attack, Tommy promised Perna a deeply discounted wedding at The Brownstone in Paterson, NJ.

In July 2015, Perna and an associate attacked Cantin and roughed him up with a slapjack in the parking lot of a North Jersey strip mall. The attack left Cantin battered and scarred, according to court papers.

Five years later, Tommy and Perna were arrested and incited for their crimes. Perna pleaded guilty to “committing a violent crime in aid of racketeering activity.” He was sentenced to almost three years in prison and was released in August 2023.

However, Tommy’s case has taken a much longer and rockier road. After the case against Tommy endured many stops and starts, the government dismissed the charges without prejudice earlier this year because it violated the New Jersey restaurateur’s right to a speedy trial.

Last month the feds re-indicted Tommy Manzo on the same charges which include one count of “violent crime in aid of racketeering activity, conspiracy to commit an assault with a dangerous weapon and falsifying and concealing records related to a federal investigation.”

He is also still facing pending state charges over allegations he and another man broke into Dina and Dave’s Holmdel, NJ home where they bound and beat the couple before robbing them in May 2017.

A hearing in that case is scheduled for April 29.

Dina married Tommy in 2005. The two split in 2012 but didn’t officially divorce until 2016. Her sister and fellow RHONJ alum Caroline Manzo is married to Tommy’s older brother, Albert.

Season 14 of RHONJ premieres Sunday, May 5 at 8 p.m. ET.

Sutton Stracke shares her candid thoughts on Annemarie Wiley's departure from RHOBH.

RHOBH: Sutton and Annemarie Get Into Social Media Spat Over Attacks on Garcelle

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Annemarie Wiley may no longer be a part of the RHOBH cast but that isn’t stopping her from continuing to throw shade and butt heads with her former co-stars – including Sutton Stracke.

Sutton Stracke called out her former co-star Annemarie Wiley for accusing her bestie Garcelle Beauvais of playing the “race card” on RHOBH.

As AllAboutTRH previously reported, the fired Housewife accused Garcelle of using the “race card” on RHOBH while appearing on Carlos King’s Reality With the King podcast.

“She’s been able to get away with unnecessarily playing the race card so many times unchallenged because who can challenge her, right?” Annemarie said. “The other ladies can’t challenge her, so I think that’s been her play for so long.”

Carlos, who is also Black, added that he gets the feeling that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast is “afraid” of calling out Garcelle because they don’t want to be labeled a “racist.”

“I would say yeah,” Annemarie said in agreement. “If I wasn’t Black, I would be.”

Annemarie’s comments perplexed Sutton, who took to Twitter to publicly call out the fired RHOBH star’s allegations.

Sutton questioned the validity of Annemarie’s claims when earlier this year she praised Garcelle and their friendship during an appearance on Heather McDonald’s Juicy Scoop podcast.

“The hypocrisy of this woman is starting to wear at me. Great friends then to turn so severely weeks later on a different podcast? Ma’am,” Sutton tweeted.

She also shared a clip of Annemarie praising Garcelle and their friendship on the Juicy Scoop podcast.

“We we actually filmed a really fun afternoon,” Annemarie told Heather McDonald in January. ”She came over to my house, and we had this amazing talk, this awesome heart to heart. We bonded over so many things. We’re actually we have a lot in common, like, in terms of our past and our entry into American life or Los Angeles life in particular. Uh, so we really bonded over a lot of things.”

The 40-year-old continued, “And, you know, with being the 2 black women on the cast, there are certain things that, you know, only we’re gonna kind of understand, and we need to lean on each other for those things and in those kinds of instances. So, no, Garcelle and I got along great I’ve known her for years and she’s really nice.” 

Naturally, Annemarie caught wind of Sutton’s Tweet and clapped back with one of her own. 

The fired RHOBH star accused Sutton of drinking and insisted she changed her opinion on Garcelle after filming the RHOBH season 13 reunion.

Annemarie wrote:  “Omg is she drinking “coffee” at 10 am again!? Juicy Scoop was taped before the reunion and before Garcelle’s statements were “mysteriously” all over a defamatory article about me. [The podcast with] Carlos King was taped after Garcelle started acting shady towards me. Please go away and ride your horse.”

Garcelle has yet to address Annemarie’s comments publicly.

Production for season 14 of RHOBH reportedly begins in April.

Dorinda Medley doesn't understand Leah McSweeney's lawsuit against Andy Cohen.

Dorinda Medley Doesn’t Understand Leah McSweeney’s Lawsuit Against Andy Cohen

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Like most of the Bravoverse, RHONY alum Dorinda Medley is confused by her former co-star Leah McSweeney’s lawsuit against Andy Cohen.

 “I just didn’t understand it at all,” Dorinda Medley told Us Weekly. “I mean, listen, I was there [at Bravo] for six years. … I’ve always worked very well with production in every city. And for me, it was work and I had a lawyer. I read the contract, I signed, I did my work and I left. So, I was very surprised by all that.”

According to Dorinda, in her experience, Real Housewives stars don’t spend much time with their boss and executive producer Andy Cohen beyond the reunion or appearing on Watch What Happens Live or events like BravoCon.

“I don’t really see Andy,” she said. “It’s not like we hung out with Andy. That’s the weird part of it.”

Dorinda, who starred on seasons 7-12 of RHONY, admits that she’s not naive and is “not going to live in a fantasy and say” that working on reality TV is “always perfect.”

However, the 55-year-old says she has “always had a positive ongoing relationship with my production people.”

As AllAboutTRH previously reported, in February, Leah McSweeney filed a lawsuit against Bravo and Andy Cohen for intentionally preying on her alcohol addiction so they could hit the ratings jackpot.

The lawsuit claims that Bravo, Shed Media, and Andy Cohen “discriminated against, tormented,  demoralized, demeaned, harassed and retaliated against Ms. McSweeney because she is a woman with disabilities, such as alcohol use disorder and various mental health disorders, all in the name of selling drama. But being in the business of reality television does not relieve [them] of their obligation to follow employment laws that prohibit the exact type of discrimination, hostile work environment, and retaliation that Defendants subjected Ms. McSweeney to. Now, Ms. McSweeney  seeks justice.”

In her filing, Leah McSweeney also alleged that Andy Cohen “snorts cocaine” with Housewives.

Andy’s attorneys have denied the Real Housewives of New York alum’s allegations.

Then in March, the WWHL host’s legal team fired off a letter demanding Leah McSweeney retract her “baseless and false.” allegations or face going to court

“We demand that you immediately retract and withdraw all allegations relating to Mr. Cohen’s purported ‘cocaine use,’” the legal letter read.

The letter continued, “Mr. Cohen never used cocaine with any cast member on any Real Housewives or with any other Bravo employee. The absence of any reasonable basis to make such allegations is confirmed by your pleading itself.”

Since then, Leah McSweeney’s legal team has teased that there are more lawsuits coming for both Bravo and Real Housewives executive producer.

“There are more lawsuits coming and there are more people who are going to speak out,” McSweeney’s lawyer, Gary Adelman, said in a statement to Us Weekly on Tuesday, March 12. “It doesn’t matter what people say or think — that Andy’s a good guy, or that you should expect to drink, or that you should expect this behavior.”

“Andy Cohen had his counsel and PR agents write a threatening letter to give to the press is hardly surprising. Mr. Cohen is accustomed to using his power in the media to scare and intimidate people like Ms. McSweeney so that they will not speak out,” the statement read. “Mr. Cohen’s attempt to discredit and intimidate Ms. McSweeney to deter her from engaging in legally protected activity in Court is exactly the type of retaliation that this lawsuit was brought to address and only is further evidence for Ms. McSweeney.”

Pump Rules alum Faith Stowers is suing Bravo over Stassi Schroeder racism drama, and Lala Kent's alleged knife attack.

Pump Rules Alum Faith Stowers Sues Bravo for Discrimination 

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Pump Rules alum Faith Stowers is suing Bravo over Stassi Schroeder racism drama, and Lala Kent’s alleged knife attack. Get all the details!

Pump Rules alum Faith Stowers, who appeared on the Bravo series from 2015 to 2017 as a supporting cast member, is suing Evolution Media, the show’s production company, Bravo, and NBCUniversal for discrimination, retaliation, and sexual harassment, physical assault and more, per Page Six.

According to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles on Friday, Faith Stowers alleges that she was “subjected to racism, sexual harassment and physical assault in just her first season.”

The former SURver, who is black, claims that Lisa Vanderpump asked her to appear on Pump Rules to add some “color” to the cast. However, Faith Stowers alleges that she was disparaged due to her race while appearing on the series.

Faith notes that her former Pump Rules co-stars allegedly engaged in “overtly racist social media harassment campaigns,” in which they accused her of various crimes including going AWOL from the military, being a thief, who was wanted by the LAPD and more.

The allegations reference the 2020 Pump Rules scandal involving Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, and Jax Taylor in which their racist claims against Faith were uncovered amid the Black Lives Matter movement.

Jax’s 2017 tweets, accusing Faith of committing crimes resurfaced: “She’s wanted by the police for grand theft auto and ‘awol’ from military, bad idea to be on a reality show dude. Someone’s going to jail.”

As for Stassi, in a now-deleted 2016 episode of the Bitch Bible podcast, she detailed how her and Kristen called the police to try and have Faith arrested because she looked like a woman who was going around Los Angeles drugging men and robbing them of their watches.

“We are like, we just solved a f—king crime,” Stassi reportedly said at the time. “We start calling the police. The police don’t give a f—k.”

Kristen also sent out a now-deleted 2018 tweet that read: “hey tweeties, doesn’t this ex #pumprules thief look familiar? someone put her on mtv & gave her a platform for press. I didn’t wanna go there but I’m going there.”

Faith alleges that she wanted to speak out prior to the Black Lives Movement but was silenced by Bravo and threatened with “ruinous legal action.”

After Stassi and Kristen accusations against Faith became public knowledge they were fired from Pump Rules in June 2020.

Back then Faith said she felt “vindicated” but has since changed her tune.

In her complaint, Faith alleges “now that the racial reckoning of 2020 has receded,” NBC and production company Evolution have “reverted to their old ways,” noting that Kristen and Jax were recently hired for Bravo’s new show The Valley.

Stassi was also offered a role on the show but turned down the offer.

Meanwhile, Faith also alleges that Jax’s now estranged wife Brittany Cartwright hurled racial slurs at her and mocked her “nappy” hair.

As Pump Rules fans know, Faith was involved in a cheating scandal involving Jax, who was dating Brittany at the time.

Elsewhere, in the lawsuit, Faith also claims she was subjected to sexual harassment and physical violence. Faith says after she developed feelings for Lala Kent, Pump Rules producers allegedly forced them to share a bed during a cast trip.

“Production pressured Kent and Stowers to ‘get intimate’ and touch each other sensually on camera,’” the complaint alleges. “All of this was greatly distressing to [the plaintiff].”

Then when Faith’s relationship with Lala soured the Give Them Lala podcast host allegedly pulled a knife on her, “holding it to her neck and threatening to ‘cut a bitch’” as cameras rolled.

A source tells Page Six that Lala is “stunned” by Faith’s allegations because they “never happened.”

“Stowers is looking to promote her podcast,” the insider says, adding that they hope “NBC and Bravo defend themselves vigorously. This is insane.”

In her lawsuit, Faith is being represented by attorneys, Mark Geragos and Bryan Freedman, who are the same attorneys behind Bethenny Frankel’s reality TV reckoning.

Stay tuned for more on this developing story.

Vanderpump Rules airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

More RHOC Alums Send Condolences To Lauri Peterson Following Death of Her Son

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

See which RHOC alums have sent their condolences to Lauri Peterson and her family following the death of her son, Josh.

There may be plenty of drama on RHOC and bad blood between Housewives but when tragedy strikes, the family that makes up the RHOC-universe, past and present, comes together and rallies around their own.

Several RHOC stars – past and present – have come out to share their condolences with Lauri Peterson following the death of her son, Josh Waring, at the age of 35.

As AllAboutTRH previously reported, Lauri announced on Saturday that her son, Josh Waring, passed away on Easter after a long battle with drug addiction.

On Instagram, the RHOC OG shared the devastating news, writing:

“It is with a shattered heart that I write this post to let you know that my sweet Josh left this earth Easter Sunday. No one can ever prepare you for this feeling of such deep loss. Every fiber in my body hurts. Josh fought every single day for most of his adult life, for his life, but this past Sunday, the challenge was too great. Josh’s childhood was filled with deep intellect, humor, pranks, athletics, snowboarding, body boarding, mountain hikes, reading, friends, and his love for music. Even during adult hardship, Josh continued to maintain his sense of humor, continued to be optimistic, continued to be kind to others, defended those that were unable to defend themselves, and continued to love his family so so much! He received the most joy, pride, and purpose through his daughter Kennady and watching her grow and thrive over the years. Thank you to all of the people that have tried to help Josh along the way. I am witness to many Angels on earth. Not everyone understands those suffering from substance abuse disorder, but I am forever grateful for your understanding and the impact you made on his life. I also thank those who have supported me through this journey and offering kind words of encouragement by sharing their stories of living with substance abuse disorder and the many parents that have shared their stories over the years with me about the children they have sadly lost due to this illness. Josh, I love you so much, and I will miss you terribly! I will forever be your “Mama Bear & Mama Dukes,” and every time the clock turns to 11:11, I will expect your call to tell me to make a wish! What will I wish for now? My heart is with you and I pray you have found the peace that you so deserve. Heaven has gained the coolest angel, and you have gained your freedom at last, sweet boy. Love always and forever, Mom ?????? Joshua-Michael Phillip Waring 12/20/88-3/31/24.”

Several of Lauri’s RHOC co-stars sent their condolences in the comments section of her Instagram post.

“Oh, Laurie, my heart breaks for you so much. I know how much you fought for him and always wanted nothing but the best for him. ?? May the Lord surround you with his angels and give you strength through this incredibly hard loss. I love you, friend,” Gretchen Rossi commented.

Fellow RHOC OG Jo de la Rosa wrote, “I am so incredibly sorry, Lauri ? Sending you all my love and praying for your heart. Here if you need anything.”

“My heart breaks for you; I know how hard you worked to be his advocate. Big hug and prayers for your family at this sad time,” RHOC OG Jeana Keough commented.

Peggy Tanous wrote, “I am so sorry for your loss, sweetie. Sending you love and prayers at this difficult time. Josh is in a beautiful place now, as hard as it is.”

Now, even more of Lauri’s RHOC and Bravo family have reached out to share love and support with her and her family amid their unthinkable loss.

Andy Cohen wrote, “Lauri I am so sorry. This is heartbreaking. You tried so hard to save him, and by sharing Josh’s story you would up educating people around the world about the tragedy of addiction for those who are touched by it. May Josh’s memory be a blessing to you always. Sending your family all my love.”

“I’m so sorry for your loss ?!! My prayers go out to y’all!!” Kelly Dodd shared.

Slade Smiley, who also lost a son, albeit to cancer, commented, “Laurie, I’m so so sorry for your loss. this type of pain is something I pray must people will never have to experience. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. The one thing that keeps me going is the thought that this is not good bye, but rather it’s just I’ll see you again soon. Try to stay in the light and know our loved ones are now free of their pain and earthly constraints. Sending love and light to you and the family.”

“Lauri, this is so heartbreaking. Praying for peace and comfort for you and your family. I can’t even begin to imagine this kind of loss. My heart aches for you and what you all went through all these years. You are a great mom. Sending you a big hug and all my love and prayers. ????????????,” RHOC alum Lizzie Rovsek wrote.

Current RHOC star Tamra Judge commented: “Lauri, I’m so sorry. My heart breaks for you. Thinking of you and your family. Sending you all so much love ?.”

Meanwhile, the OG of the OC, and the RHOC alum, who has known Lauri the longest, commented on her daughter Ashley Zarlin’s Instagram page to share her sympathy with the family.

Vicki Gunvalson wrote: “Oh Ashley. I’m so sorry. What a beautiful written message. Peace be with you and your family.”

Lauri Peterson is an original cast member of RHOC, which premiered on Bravo in 2006. She starred in the series for four seasons before leaving during season five to better help Josh deal with his addiction and legal troubles.

Josh battled with drug addiction for well over a decade and spent time in and out of jail. Over the years, Josh was arrested for drug possession and more serious charges, including shooting, hit-and-run, attempted murder, assault, battery, property damage, and more.

This news is incredibly sad, but hopefully, Josh is at peace now after enduring so many struggles and demons. As my mom always says, drugs don’t discriminate and can hit anyone at any time.

Sending love to Lauri and her family.

The Real Housewives of Orange County will return for season 18 in mid-to-late 2024.

Brandi Glanville opens up about RHUGT drama with Caroline Manzo

RHUGT Morocco Footage ‘Temporarily Restricted’ by Court

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

RHUGT footage detailing incident between Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville gets “temporarily restricted” by court. Get all the deets!

Page Six reports that the RHUGT footage that shows the incident between Brandi Glanville and Caroline Manzo in Morocco has been “temporarily restricted” by a New York court.

RHUGT executive producer Lisa Shannon submitted the videos to the court last week in order to have Caroline Manzo’s lawsuit thrown out. However, she also requested that the clips be sealed from the public.

While the footage pertaining to the incident cannot be viewed, in her filing Shannon notes that the footage details “the incident at issue in the complaint, Manzo’s perceptions of it, the other cast member’s perceptions of it and the aftermath” of the encounter between the Real Housewives of New Jersey OG and Brandi Glanville in which Caroline alleges that Brandi forced her tongue down her throat and humped her without prior consent.

In court documents, Shannon also insisted that Caroline Manzo told RHUGT producers that she felt “disrespected” by Brandi Glanville but said the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum did not “sexually violate” her.

“Our primary concern at that point was making sure that Manzo felt safe,” read the documents. “She told us that she felt safe, that she wanted to continue to film, and that she did not want Glanville to be sent home.”

Fellow RHUGT stars including Phaedra Parks all purported that everyone in the cast was “having fun” and that no one was aware that Caroline had been sexually abused as a child which affected her response to Brandi’s behavior.

“Am I happy? No. Do I feel vindicated? No. IM F–KING MORE PISSED THAN EVER,” Brandi tweeted on Thursday following Bravo’s response to Caroline’s lawsuit.

“What these producers do to make a tv show is disgraceful & disgusting. I begged for them to intervene. I almost died. It took a lawsuit… I’m not ok.”

Brandi has repeatedly called Caroline’s “false” sexual harassment claims “absurd” since filming RHUGT in Morocco over a year ago.

“While filming, Brandi followed what the producers asked of her, and there was no sexual assault,” Brandi’s rep told Page Six in January after the RHONJ alum filed her lawsuit.

“She is innocent of these absurd accusations that have weighed on her mental and physical health for far too long without a word of support from Peacock, Shed or Bravo.”

It’s still unclear if Bravo will air the Morocco installment of RHUGT. Some have claimed that Bravo has tabled airing the season while others insist no official decisions have been made.

RHOC alum Lauri Peterson reveals that her son, Josh Waring, passed away on Easter following a long battle with drug addiction. Get all the details on this tragic news.

Earlier today, RHOC alum Lauri Peterson announced the news of her son, Josh Waring‘s death. He was 36 years old.

On Instagram, the RHOC OG shared the devastating news, writing:

“It is with a shattered heart that I write this post to let you know that my sweet Josh left this earth Easter Sunday. No one can ever prepare you for this feeling of such deep loss. Every fiber in my body hurts. Josh fought every single day for most of his adult life, for his life, but this past Sunday, the challenge was too great. Josh’s childhood was filled with deep intellect, humor, pranks, athletics, snowboarding, body boarding, mountain hikes, reading, friends, and his love for music. Even during adult hardship, Josh continued to maintain his sense of humor, continued to be optimistic, continued to be kind to others, defended those that were unable to defend themselves, and continued to love his family so so much! He received the most joy, pride, and purpose through his daughter Kennady and watching her grow and thrive over the years. Thank you to all of the people that have tried to help Josh along the way. I am witness to many Angels on earth. Not everyone understands those suffering from substance abuse disorder, but I am forever grateful for your understanding and the impact you made on his life. I also thank those who have supported me through this journey and offering kind words of encouragement by sharing their stories of living with substance abuse disorder and the many parents that have shared their stories over the years with me about the children they have sadly lost due to this illness. Josh, I love you so much, and I will miss you terribly! I will forever be your “Mama Bear & Mama Dukes,” and every time the clock turns to 11:11, I will expect your call to tell me to make a wish! What will I wish for now? My heart is with you and I pray you have found the peace that you so deserve. Heaven has gained the coolest angel, and you have gained your freedom at last, sweet boy. Love always and forever, Mom ?????? Joshua-Michael Phillip Waring 12/20/88-3/31/24.”

Several of Lauri’s RHOC co-stars sent their condolences in the comments section of her Instagram post.

“Oh, Laurie, my heart breaks for you so much. I know how much you fought for him and always wanted nothing but the best for him. ?? May the Lord surround you with his angels and give you strength through this incredibly hard loss. I love you, friend,” Gretchen Rossi commented.

Fellow RHOC OG Jo de la Rosa wrote, “I am so incredibly sorry, Lauri ? Sending you all my love and praying for your heart. Here if you need anything.”

“My heart breaks for you; I know how hard you worked to be his advocate. Big hug and prayers for your family at this sad time,” RHOC OG Jeana Keough commented.

Peggy Tanous wrote, “I am so sorry for your loss, sweetie. Sending you love and prayers at this difficult time. Josh is in a beautiful place now, as hard as it is.”

Lauri’s oldest daughter, Ashley Zarlin, also wrote a tribute to her brother amid his passing.

The 38-year-old shared:

“On Easter Sunday, I lost my brother to the relentless grip of addiction. It’s a disease that distorts and destroys, leaving behind shattered dreams and broken hearts.

He was brilliant and had limitless potential, but addiction veered him off course. My heart aches for the lost opportunities for us to grow together as adults, to share laughter and dreams, the conversations that we will never get to have, and the dreams that will be left unfulfilled. My thoughts linger on the what-ifs, the alternate paths he could have taken if only the system had offered more than empty promises and closed doors.

My mom’s unwavering love and tireless efforts to support him will forever be etched in my heart. She fought alongside him, never wavering in her belief that he could overcome this demon.

I wish for a different outcome with every fiber of my being. I wish I could have done more, been more, to help him find his way back to the light. As I grieve his loss, I cherish the memories of who he truly was, before addiction stole him away. My little brother.

I mourn not only for the loss of my brother but also for the countless others who have been failed by a system that should have been their lifeline. Their stories, like his, are a reminder of the urgent need for change, for reform, for a healthcare system that prioritizes compassion and support above all else. Our healthcare system is riddled with shortcomings and limitations, and failed him time and again. I pray for a world where compassion and effective support systems replace judgment and neglect so that others may find the help they desperately need.

Josh, I hope that you’ve finally found the peace you’ve been looking for. You’re no longer in pain, you can rest. I love you xo Smash.”

RHONJ alum Dina Manzo, who previously lived in Orange County after leaving New Jersey, offered her condolences to Ashley and Lauri, writing, “Oh Ashley, my heart aches for you and mom. Such a profound loss…my deepest prayers for peace and understanding so you may heal the part of your soul that went with him. Love you.”

Lauri Peterson is an original cast member of RHOC, which premiered on Bravo in 2006. She starred in the series for four seasons before leaving during season five to better help Josh deal with his addiction and legal troubles.

Josh battled with drug addiction for well over a decade and spent time in and out of jail. Over the years, Josh was arrested for drug possession and more serious charges, including shooting, hit-and-run, attempted murder, assault, battery, property damage, and more.

This news is incredibly sad, but hopefully, Josh is at peace now after enduring so many struggles and demons. As my mom always says, drugs don’t discriminate and can hit anyone at any time.

Sending love to Lauri and her family.

The Real Housewives of Orange County will return for season 18 in mid-to-late 2024.

Melissa Gorga and Margaret Josephs react to Rachel Fuda cropping Teresa Giudice out of RHONJ season 14 cast photo amid feud.

There is less than a month until the premiere of RHONJ season 14, and the drama is already heating up in the Garden State.

On Friday, the RHONJ cast shared a new promo photo for season 14, which premieres on Bravo on Sunday, May 5th; however, Rachel Fuda got shady with her post by cutting out OG Housewife Teresa Giudice.

“One month til we’re back. Get excited! Season 14 of #RHONJ is right around the corner!” Rachel captioned the Instagram post.

Melissa Gorga gave Rache’s shady post her seal of approval by commenting with a skull emoji and a checkmark.

Margaret Josephs also gave Rachel’s post a thumbs up with her comment, writing, “Yes, baby doll.”

It’s clear there’s no love lost between Teresa and Rachel. Rachel and her husband, John Fuda, will face off with the RHONJ OG throughout season 14.

In the RHONJ season 14 trailer, Rachel tells Teresa, “You’re a f—ing bully, Teresa,” while the OG fires back with a warning of her own: “Don’t poke the f—ing bear.”

John Fuda then gets in on the drama as he has a confrontation with Teresa.

“You’re the the poster child for mortgage fraud” John tells Teresa. “When I need my money laundered, I’ll call ya!”
