RHoNJ in the Media

Unless they start from scratch with a whole new cast (no leftovers), then this show is toast.

I doubt they will do a complete reboot.  BRAVO learned with RHONY that was a big mistake.  I can see a combination of 1) some from the current cast, 2) a former RHONJ HW, 3) new names.  Similar to what they did with RHOA.

I think the housewives shows are dying on the vine. They've all devolved into screaming matches over meaningless trivialities.

Watch any of the early seasons & you'll quickly see the difference. The shows used to be much lighter, more entertaining. I miss that.

It didn’t have to be these way, that is what is so maddening. 
I feel like Andy and the powers that be love drama and women fighting each other  that they thought this should be the future of the franchise. It is the death of the franchise- a long, torturous death 

I so miss the early days of real life drama, silly drama that was resolved easily and quickly, house and vacation porn, lack of social media, not being required to have a “story line”, etc.

My son and daughter in law were in the Aruba airport yesterday and saw Frank Cantania with his new wife waiting for their flight to Newark, they stalked him for a bit and felt awkward trying to take a photo, then my son asked me if he works and I had to think, the renovation business was a fake, right?

What does Frank do for a living? I think his filming days are over so there goes his Bravo paycheck so where does his money come from?

We didn't see Frank and Dolores doing any house renovation(s) last season. We didn't see anything about the gym they supposedly had for at least a couple of seasons. It's possible they only let the business use their name. Dolores said she wanted to join Paul in his business. Frank was disbarred, and can't practice law for some years. I assume he depends on social media promotions, and appearing at events of stores, bars, and other businesses.

Yep, as Salacious Kitty said, this story says Tre owes money too. Did she not learn anything from her prison stint?

I freak out if I owe $100 in taxes but these ppl continue to just live their best life spending whatever. Like how do they not get stressed out.

I don't buy Teresa is innocent in Louie's unpaid bills either.

I guess when you go to prison once, you're unbothered about going again.

I also think any pleas about how she can't bear to part with her "four beautiful daughters" will not hold as much weight now that the girls are older.

So in addition to the 3 million due for taxes, Luis just pushed back the due date for a million dollar loan and took out an additional 250,000 loan on that loan (?)

The one thing that is probably really eating away at Teresa is fact that her brother was right about this guy!

Gia is touting the company line saying everything is fine, she can lie to herself all she wants but the facts are the facts.

The lien that Teresa has is from the past, with Joe Giudice who doesn't pay for any debt, but left the house to her in the divorce, so that her, and the daughters can live in it. She sold this one a few years ago. She still owes some money, but she pays regularly every month. She already paid the biggest portion of what she owed- it's only about $303,000 now. She paid far more than a million already. The lien is going to remain until all the debt is repaid. She still earns a lot of money, so she can repay the remaining herself. 

The other liens are only on Louie's name, and it seems some are for a $1 million mortgage for the house. The title is misleading, and sensationistic because his businesses and house are on his name only (unlike what happened when Teresa was with Joe Giudice), so Teresa is not responsible for those. It's not her debt, only his, as seen on the documents posted in the links (only his name is on). All the articles that were posted here (and a couple I read) mentioned that the house is on his name only, and I remember him saying he bought the house which was probably intentional, so that Teresa wouldn't be responsible for the mortgage. The mortgage company trusted Louie Ruelas enough to let him have a mortgage modification a few days ago (link below). 

So, prenuptial agreement, or not, Teresa is not responsible for any of Louie's debt because it's only on his name. She is not that stupid after all.

A tax lien isn’t like a loan, it means that he’s responsible for a lot of money that he’s clearly unable to pay.  No matter if it is in her name or not they are married and live together, so if he’s not able to keep the house, she and her daughters can’t live there either.

Luis had a $163k tax lien filed in December 2024 that has since been paid. He also has a nearly $2.6 million tax lien filed against him in March 2025 that's still open/owed. Teresa has a $303k tax lien filed against her also in March 2025 that's still open. I believe this is a new lien, not what's left from an older (aka from the Juicy days) one. These all say that the "Division of Taxation" is the creditor, I'm not sure if that means that the liens are for unpaid NJ state income taxes? This information is all from doing a search on the NJ courts website.

Their house isn't legally owned by Luis or Teresa. It's owned by an LLC. I can't see who the owners of the LLC are using the free search but news articles that I found say that only Luis is on the LLC ownership documents. Should the house go into foreclosure I'm assuming that the LLC would declare bankruptcy and Luis and Teresa would be shielded but I'm not totally sure how that works.

I'm not sure how Teresa is earning a ton of money nowadays with RHONJ (and the associated paycheck) done. No one seems to know what Luis does for a living. I think the best Teresa can hope for at this point is that she managed to stay out of things enough that only Luis will go to prison. I don't feel sorry for her. Between her ego and stupidity, she's done this to herself. Again.

I think RHONJ may be coming back, in some form, with Melissa and Joe and not Teresa.

I listen to Melissa's podcast sometimes, depending on who her guest is, but I do like the episodes where it's her and Joe. He was her guest on her most recent podcast and he said something about something they're filming/doing together. He kept saying it was fine to say what it was and Melissa kept telling him they weren't allowed to say yet and to zip it. They didn't spill the beans but said whatever it was would be announced "soon".

Also, I didn't see this until recently, but Melissa was on Sherri Shephard's show and talks about RHONJ possibly coming back at the 9:50 mark. Just based on what she says, to me it sounds like it's coming back with a few previous castmates (meaning her) along with some newbies. And she says she does not see a reconciliation with Teresa happening (meaning no Tre in the new RHONJ).

My thought on her appointment to the board was purely superficial, the way she asked a houseful of her guests about the cake and cake stand incident with Melissa in Florida told me all I needed to know about Siggy. 

I think she is unable to read a room and now she has a bigger room she will be unable to read.

I think Joe and Melissa are going to be on Bravo's new show, Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition. Apparently it's where Real Housewife couples swap with regular couples. In one of Melissa's podcasts maybe 2 months ago or so, Joe kept trying to say that something was coming up and Melissa kept telling him to zip it. In Melissa's latest podcast with Joe, which was the first new one in a few weeks, she said something like it had been a minute since she'd done a podcast   because they'd been on vacation and "gone dark for a week". I can only imagine who Bravo would have had them swap with. 🤣

If true, God help the woman that swaps with Melissa and has to live with Joe

I kinda hope it's Emily and Shane! 

That would be an interesting swap.

Can you imagine Emily doing her burlesque for Joe or what Shane the Morman would think of Melissa? The Simpson kids would have fun and Annabelle would get a Jersey glam makeover, while Emily lets loose in Jersey and goes wild. Poor Shane 🤣 At least he'll eat well?

I am not a fan of Siggy or most of her politics.

I am not Jewish but my husband and his family are. Going through the Holocaust Museum as a human was sobering, but knowing how many of my husband’s family was lost and the others that were lost haunts me all the time.

Isn’t the Holocaust Museum about making sure humanity does not forget the horrors of what happened in WWII?

Andy's been hinting at this and that as far as casting news, I think on The View?  It's still sounding like 2026 for there to be a NJ at all, which is disappointing for me as I always enjoyed the NJ Christmas footage. Even grumpy Joe Giudice on the couch, lol! There is no NJ without Teresa and the Giudice family as far as I'm concerned.
