Melissa Gorga throws shade at some of her RHONJ co-stars over the recently leaked season 15 casting rumors. Plus, more.

Melissa Gorga recently sat down with her husband, Joe Gorga, and their co-stars Rachel Fuda and John Fuda to discuss everything RHONJ on an episode of PodcastOne’s On Display With Melissa Gorga.

To start, John Fuda shared the small perks associated with being on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

He said, “When I started, it was fun, it was exciting. There’s some perks to it, like little things. Like she’s getting a bunch of maternity clothes. That stuff is cool.”

However, he also mentioned the downsides of being on reality TV, saying, “I really don’t like the way that they basically put the men down. I think they put the men down. I think they’re abusive towards men, our careers.”

Rachel Fuda added, ”But I also think too, like, on specific to our franchise, like, it’s gotten so dark that thank God for the guys because what light and airy and fun would there even had been without them?”

The RHONJ couples then discussed the recent casting rumors that have come out season 15. They specifically addressed a recent report claiming that Teresa GiudiceDolores Catania and Jennifer Aydin have signed on for season 15 with Jennifer publicly stating she was coming back.

Melissa Gorga said, “It’s so stupid, and you know what I have to say I’m actually proud of? Never has it ever once said Melissa Gorga is staying. Never once has that been said, so that should be proof to Bravo and to everyone else that it’s definitely not me that talks to the people and plants stories.”

“When we started the show, our daughter was three months old so we’ve never really been able to, like, enjoy our time as a family of five, like, without the chaos of the show,” Rachel added.

She continued, “So I really feel like this time we’ve had off has been like so calm, and like, we’re just enjoying it, and we haven’t really been worried about that kind of stuff.”
