The latest season of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” was a whirlwind of drama, conflict and heated arguments, leaving fans reeling.

With the current cast featuring Teresa Giudice, Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda, alongside friends Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler, the season was marked by dramatic showdowns.

This season saw a significant divide among the cast. Giudice, Aydin and Goldschneider formed one faction while Gorga, Josephs and Fuda made up the opposing side.

Cabral, Fessler and Catania were caught in the middle, navigating the chaos between the two groups.

The drama reached fever pitch, with the women frequently shouting at each other and using expletives.

The intensity of the season led to speculation about whether the current cast could continue together.

“I don’t know if there can be a next chapter with this group of women,” Fuda commented, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding the future of the show.

Despite this, Fessler still has hope for the ladies: "You can see under all the madness there is a love. You can almost feel it,“ she said. However, she conceded that for most of the cast, a resolution seemed unlikely.

Gorga had a clear message about dealing with toxic relationships, hinting at her estranged sister-in-law: “If someone doesn’t wish you well or clap for you, it’s time to remove them from your life. And I’m okay with that.”

In a recent episode of Andy Cohen Live on Sirius XM, a disgruntled fan named Joanne voiced her dissatisfaction with the current storylines, particularly the ongoing drama between Melissa Gorga and Margaret Josephs, and expressed a desire for change.

Cohen addressed the concerns, revealing: “We’re going to reboot the show. We’re going to do something different.”

Fans on X shared their views on the latest season: “@Andy, can you please 🙏 get rid of the whole cast of ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’? It all feels evil now.”
