Teresa Giudice isn’t going anywhere, at least not if she has a say in it.
In a recent chat with TooFab ahead of her appearance on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test with daughter Gia, Teresa made one thing clear: the future of RHONJ still depends on Bravo’s word — and the fans.
“I’m glad everyone’s so excited about New Jersey coming back. So I hope it does come back,” Teresa said. “And, we won’t know until Bravo makes that decision.”
“I Think It Wouldn’t Be the Same Without Me”
Despite speculation that the show has already begun test filming for Season 15 without her, Teresa remains unfazed — and ready to return.
“Hello, I’m the OG, so I think it wouldn’t be the same without me,” she told TooFab.
The RHONJ veteran also called on fans to make their voices heard if they want her to stay part of the franchise.
“So I guess the fans, they speak — I want them to tell Bravo and Andy Cohen, like, ‘Definitely let’s bring Teresa back,’” she added.
With more than 15 years under her belt, Teresa is the longest-serving cast member of the Real Housewives franchise, and it’s clear she still holds the crown proudly.
A Mother-Daughter Duo Takes on “Special Forces”
While RHONJ remains in limbo, Teresa and her daughter Gia are gearing up for a very different challenge — one that tests both mental and physical endurance.
The duo will be featured in the upcoming season of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test on FOX, marking the show’s first mother-daughter team.
Gia, 22, joked about how useful it was to have mom around during those first brutal days of filming.
“She washed my clothes the first night,” Gia shared. “I was very appreciative of that. I was so dead. I wanted to, like, literally crawl on a wall and never leave.”
Teresa responded like the proud mom she is:
“She’s my kid, she takes after her momma so she got this.”
“It Was Not a Joke”
Before signing on, Teresa consulted former Housewives who had braved the show before her — including Kenya Moore and Denise Richards — and came in with her eyes wide open.
“I knew it was hard because I spoke to two past Housewives that did it, Kenya [Moore] and Denise [Richards], and I knew it was not a joke,” she said.
Still, doing it with Gia made the whole experience worth it.
“It was something that I’m going to do with my daughter and I’ll never forget it. And she’ll never forget it and she’ll get to tell my grandkids about it and her sisters were jealous.”
Even though Teresa admits she’s not a natural swimmer, Gia’s encouragement helped her push through.
“She was like, ‘Mom, you got this, you gotta do this,’ so she did push me because I was just terrified of her after watching last season,” Teresa laughed. “And I’m not a swimmer, but I learned. So now I feel more comfortable in water.”
“We Were All a Team and All a Family”
Gia echoed that sentiment, calling the experience both humbling and powerful.
“Everyone had their good days and bad days,” she said. “So, on days where you might have been losing a little stamina or you were fatigued, we were pushing each other just to be better and better every day. As much as it was an individually based challenge, we were all a team and all a family.”
While Teresa’s return to RHONJ is still TBD, fans won’t have to wait long to see her in action again.
Season 4 of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test premieres September 25 at 9/8c on FOX, and will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.
Mary Cosby is known for her unfiltered honesty and strong convictions, and in a recent interview, she opened up on two deeply personal topics: her son Robert Jr.’s battle with sobriety and her decision to keep Real Housewives of Salt Lake City castmate Britani Bateman out of her church.
Speaking with Dorinda Medley and Kiki Monique on SiriusXM’s Reality Checked, Mary didn’t hold back. She got real about the emotional toll of watching her son struggle, and why, when it comes to her faith, she draws a hard line between sincerity and spectacle.
“It’s his journey”: Mary on Supporting Robert Jr.’s Sobriety
When asked how her son Robert Jr. is doing, Mary gave an honest answer that reflected both love and frustration.
“He’s doing as good as he can. It’s his journey,” she said. “I told him, ‘If you don’t make your mind up, then this is all for nothing.’ And it just takes a made up mind to do and execute whatever you are trying to do, but you can’t do it if your mind’s not made up.”
As a mother, Mary said it’s difficult to watch, but she’s focused on supporting him without trying to control the process.
“I can’t make it up for him. I can just only push him, encourage him and love him. And that’s what I’m doing. And that’s kind of where we are,” she explained. “But he’s still on that road and it’s a hardcore road. It’s, you know, it’s tough to watch as a mom.”
She also revealed how the journey has affected her husband.
“It’s hurtful to see — his dad is most of the time devastated. But at the same time, I have hope and I believe in him.”
Despite the pain, Mary remains confident in her son’s ability to change:
“I know that his ability — I mean, I raised him, so I know he’s got all the tools and he’s got all the will, the willpower that he needs and the support. He just needs to make up his mind.”
“You’re not allowed”: Why Mary Banned Britani from Her Church
Another standout moment came when Mary was asked about letting the RHOSLC cast attend her church. While most were eventually allowed in, one cast member didn’t make the cut — and Mary made sure of it.
“Well, I didn’t invite Britani. I told her, ‘You’re not allowed,’” she said matter-of-factly.
Mary explained her reasoning, pointing to the importance of shared belief and respect in her religious space.
“I don’t want people to sit out in the congregation that doesn’t believe in what I believe in, in that space. You know?”
Dorinda jumped in, suggesting that allowing the wrong energy into a place of worship can be damaging: “Or make a mockery of it… do something silly.”
“Or you’re just fake,” Mary added.
Still, Mary said her perspective on some of her castmates has shifted over time — enough that she eventually felt comfortable welcoming a few of them.
“I feel like I have a bond with everyone now, and I understand them now and they understand somewhat me, and so I felt comfortable with them coming.”
But not everyone reacted the same way during the visit.
“They came and they all cried, all of them except Angie. I don’t know what Angie was doing. Angie’s just a little busy body. She was just looking at everyone speaking, talking to everyone, talking while I’m talking.”
Teresa Giudice is putting an end to the rumors swirling about The Real Housewives of New Jersey filming without her. Recent reports suggested the show might be test filming new episodes with Teresa left out, but the reality star was quick to clear things up.
“There’s a lot floating around with what’s going on in New Jersey. Lots of reports that they are filming without you. What can you clear up for us?” Brice Sanders asked Teresa during a recent interview.
“Obviously they are not because if they were filming, then it would actually be out there,” Teresa responded firmly. “So it’s just speculation and, you know, people putting stories out there, cause if they were actually filming, there would be pictures out there, correct? It’s just people putting out stories out there. You really can’t believe anything you read unless Bravo is saying it.”
When pressed about whether any official information might be coming soon, especially with BravoCon approaching, Giudice offered a cheeky reply: “BravoTV.com or Andy Cohen. DM him and he will give you an answer.”
@bricesander @Teresa Giudice weighs in on those reports that #RHONJ ? original sound – Brice Sander
While fans eagerly await updates on RHONJ, Teresa’s daughter Gia Giudice is also making headlines. Gia, who stars on The Real Housewives of New York City: Next Gen, revealed she is “hoping for a second season to show you more of her life” and is even “exploring looking at a new place to live on her own.”
The Giudice family remains a focal point for Bravo viewers, and with BravoCon on the horizon, there’s plenty to look forward to from both New Jersey and New York.
Kyle Richards is setting the record straight after fans noticed a few familiar faces missing from a special wedding photo shared on Instagram.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star recently celebrated the wedding of her daughter, Alexia Umansky, who tied the knot with longtime love Jake Zingerman on September 6. While the event was full of emotional and sweet moments, including Kyle and estranged husband Mauricio Umansky sharing a touching dance with the bride, it didn’t take long for fans to focus on something else: the absence of Dorit Kemsley in a group photo posted days later.
In a September 8 Instagram post, Richards shared a joyful snapshot featuring herself alongside fellow RHOBH cast members Lisa Rinna, Teddi Mellencamp, and Erika Jayne. The caption read:
“Celebrating love & life without a single table being flipped, nor a glass of wine tossed.”
But one fan quickly noticed someone missing, asking in the comments:
“Where is @DoritKemsley ”
Richards responded directly, putting the rumors to rest:
“She was there & so was Sutton … both just missed the photo.”
Though Kyle and Dorit had a rocky relationship in the most recent season of RHOBH, marked by tensions and personal struggles, both women are now separated from their husbands, things appear to have settled between them. Kyle’s clarification signals that despite not appearing in the photo, Dorit was present for the special day.
Real Housewives of Orange County star Jennifer Pedranti just scored a major legal victory in her ongoing divorce battle with ex-husband William Pedranti, and fans are here for it.
In a newly filed court agreement on September 3, Jennifer, 48, was awarded sole physical custody of her three minor children: Greyson (15), Everleigh (13), and Dominic (11). William will now only have visitation rights and must provide a one-hour notice before seeing the kids, according to Us Weekly.
The former couple, who also share two adult sons, Dawson (18) and Harrison (21) — had originally agreed to share joint legal and physical custody. But the court’s latest decision makes one thing clear: Jennifer is the kids’ primary caregiver moving forward.
This news comes just months after their July 2024 divorce settlement, in which William agreed to pay Jennifer $4,674 per month in child support, $1,735 in spousal support, and a one-time lump sum of $267,811. He also allowed Jennifer to retain full ownership of her yoga business.
However, things took a turn when William returned to court trying to reduce his financial obligations. He argued that Jennifer’s current living situation with fiancé Ryan Boyajian meant she didn’t need financial support. “Jennifer lives with Ryan, and I believe has little to no living expenses (rent, utilities, car payment etc.) due to this living arrangement,” he claimed.
Pedranti wasn’t having it.
“I believe it is unfair to terminate spousal support because I am cohabitating with Ryan,” she stated in her declaration. “The ONLY reason I am cohabitating with Ryan is because William left me with no other option.”
She also accused William of failing to follow through with the six-figure payment he agreed to, saying, “If I had received [the money] … I would have had the ability to pay my lease, and I would not have been evicted. Or, I would have had the means to secure my own place without Ryan.”
On top of that, William accused Jennifer of harassment, alleging she showed up uninvited at his home and messaged him outside of the court-approved parenting app. Jennifer denied this, saying she was simply trying to talk to him about their children.
While no decision has yet been made on modifying spousal support, the custody ruling sends a clear message: Jennifer is doing what’s best for her family, and the court recognizes that.
This win isn’t just legal — it’s personal. After months of battling it out behind closed doors, Jennifer Pedranti is standing tall, putting her kids first, and showing RHOC fans what real strength looks like.
You asked, and we’re delivering. On today’s episode of AllAboutTRH podcast, we’re breaking down everything we know (and think) about the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Who’s been contacted? Who’s still on hold? And yes, we get into Danielle Cabral’s recent comments suggesting her return… even though Bravo hasn’t exactly confirmed it. We’re giving our honest thoughts on the casting chaos, the behind-the-scenes drama, and what all of this could mean for the future of RHONJ.
Denise Richards made her first appearance in court on Monday, Sept. 8, as part of her ongoing and highly publicized divorce from Aaron Phypers. While the hearing for her restraining order request was postponed until next month, Richards was granted temporary relief allowing her to access the couple’s shared home.
According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, a judge ruled on Sept. 13 that Richards could return to one of their residences “to retrieve her mother’s and her own personal property, including the dogs.” Meanwhile, Phypers has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from the property, per the temporary restraining order issued in July.
The filing also mandates that Phypers must “take no action which would interfere with Ms. Richards access.”
In addition, Phypers has been ordered to return Richards’ laptop and an old cell phone, which she claimed he took in violation of the restraining order. He must return the devices by the end of day on Sept. 9. Phypers, however, has “previously denied being in possession of the items.”
The postponement of the restraining order hearing was initially requested by Phypers, but Richards’ legal team opposed further delays. In a court filing, they argued that “any further continuance will prejudice Denise and cause further distress to Denise by not allowing her finality to her Request For Domestic Violence Restraining Order.”
The couple, who were married in 2018, have both made serious allegations since the divorce proceedings began. Phypers listed their date of separation as July 4 and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
Just days after the initial filing, Richards accused Phypers of domestic violence, alleging that he “repeatedly abused” her during their relationship. A judge granted her a temporary restraining order in response.
Phypers has categorically denied those claims. In a previous statement, he called the allegations “completely false and deeply hurtful.”
In July, Richards further alleged that Phypers violated the restraining order and renewed her request that he return her laptop. She also sought to prevent him from sharing any private information stored on the device—an allegation Phypers again denied.
The legal battle took another turn last week when Richards filed a response to Phypers’ divorce petition. She requested spousal support, asked the court to terminate its ability to award him support, and petitioned for him to cover her legal fees. She also stated that “the full nature and extent” of her “separate property assets and debts are unknown at this time,” as are their community assets.
Interestingly, while Phypers cited July 4 as the official date of separation, Richards listed it as “TBD.”
In a new statement, Phypers lashed out at Richards, saying: “Denise Richards is attempting to humiliate me again, just as she did with her first ex, Charlie Sheen, six years ago today!”
“It is the same vengeance playbook as Charlie said, ‘D and her legal posse only deal in fiction. My day in court is painfully overdue. She is behaving like a coward, and the truth will prevail,’” he continued. “I, too, will be vindicated when the truth comes out, just as Charlie promised. Our family has been ruined by Denise’s lies of promising to end a year-long affair.”
As both parties continue to trade accusations, the next court appearance is expected to provide more clarity in what has become a very public and painful separation.
Katie Ginella may have entered Season 19 of The Real Housewives of Orange County as a rising star, but after a chaotic season, her future on the show is allegedly anything but secure, raising eyebrows as she has become a fan favorite.
As Season 20 looms, insiders say Bravo is facing a tough decision: bring Katie back and double down on the drama, or cut her out entirely and rebuild the dynamic from scratch.
“With all of the drama on Season 19 of RHOC, people are starting to wonder what Season 20 would look like,” an insider told OK!, adding that there are “two ways Bravo can go about things.”
One option would be to keep Katie Ginella in the mix. According to the source, “They could bring Vicki Gunvalson back, who Katie gets along with, and Tamra has said deserves a spot on the show. And then they could possibly add one more of Katie’s friends to the mix.” The insider explained that Ginella has a “huge, loud fanbase online,” which could work in her favor.
“It would make sense for Heather Dubrow to stay,” they added, “and then add some new people to the mix.” It’s clear Bravo sees Season 20 as a major milestone, and stacking the cast with new faces while keeping returning favorites is definitely on the table.
But not everyone is convinced Ginella will make the cut. Her removal from the season wasn’t subtle — it was the result of a calculated decision by both the cast and the network. “Bravo felt that all of the women were coming for her and decided to remove her from the mix for a bit,” a source revealed. “It was clear all of the women had planned to band together to take Katie down and they ended up refusing to film with her.”
Ginella reportedly wanted to participate in the cast trip, but Bravo wasn’t on board. “While Ginella wanted to film the cast trip, Bravo still thought it was best for her to sit out.”
So why remove someone who stirred up so much interest? The source admitted, “The problem is… they’d then have to start turning on each other again… and, as it stands, they made a storyline out of turning on Katie so that wouldn’t really make much sense that they suddenly turned on each other.”
Another layer to Ginella’s complicated arc was her fractured relationships with several key cast members. She began the season close with Jennifer Pedranti, but things fell apart after a cast-wide lie detector test in the August 28 episode — which Ginella completely failed. Her past friendship with Gretchen Rossi also ended badly after she claimed Rossi told her she had been roofied during Season 4’s “naked wasted” episode, a statement Rossi flatly denied.
At this point, Bravo hasn’t confirmed anything about Season 20’s cast. “It’s unknown what direction Bravo will end up going in at this point in time as the reunion hasn’t been filmed yet and that will play a big role,” the insider shared. “But it will sure be interesting to see what ends up happening for Season 20.”
As of now, Katie’s last major appearance was on August 28, and insiders say that may be the end of her current storyline — at least for now. Still, there’s hope for her fans. “Fans of Katie’s can stay tuned, though, as this is not the end of her story on TV,” the source teased.
Bravo has declined to comment on future casting for The Real Housewives of Orange County.
Heather Dubrow had big plans, and an even bigger vision, for her Beverly Hills dream home. The Real Housewives of Orange County star wasn’t just thinking renovation; she was going for a full-on luxury transformation: two new bedrooms, a high-end gym, a private movie theater, and a speakeasy.
“This was going to be a billionaire’s home, for sure,” her husband, Dr. Terry Dubrow, said. But that vision crashed hard.
Instead of flipping the property into an $80 million showpiece, the Dubrows walked away with a staggering $5.8 million loss.
Despite buying the 9,000-square-foot property for $16.1 million and selling it for $16.5 million, they actually needed to hit at least $19.5 million just to break even. Between guest house plans, early-stage renovations, and two different construction firms, one of which they say wasn’t transparent about budget, the costs spiraled out of control.
“We did a lot of stuff to the property,” Terry said on their Between Us podcast. Heather admitted she was ready to take the property to 10,000 square feet before they ultimately pulled the plug. “It was a gigantic fail,” Terry said bluntly. “We got killed on that house.”
In the end, the couple had what Heather called a “come to Jesus” moment. They decided to cut their losses and sell the property instead of sinking even more money into a spiraling project. “We never intended to be real estate people,” Heather said. “We’re like unwitting house flippers.”
Her biggest takeaway? Do your homework.
“You really have to vet your builders,” Heather warned. “You must get a budget up front… You have to do your own research. You have to know what lumber costs. You have to know what trees cost.”
It’s a tough lesson from a couple who had the resources and the vision, but not the right team or timing. If Heather Dubrow, with all her experience and attention to detail, can lose millions on a renovation gone sideways, it’s a reminder for the rest of us: ambition is great—but execution is everything.
