The latest season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is shaking things up in a way fans haven’t seen before.
The network has decided not to hold a traditional reunion this time around. This has raised questions among viewers about how the explosive season will wrap up.
An insider familiar with the situation shared with PEOPLE, A reunion is meant to have resolution and it’s clear in the season finale that there is no path forward in that type of setting.
The End of Relationships Looms
Throughout season 14, long-standing rifts in the cast have widened even further, driving members like Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral, Rachel Fuda, Jackie Goldschneider, and Jenn Fessler apart.
The central feud at play this season involves sisters-in-law Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga. They reportedly did not interact until a dramatic finale that was hinted at early on.
Tensions Rise with Margaret and Rachel
Margaret Josephs is also on the outs after accusing Teresa’s husband, Luis Ruelas, of making threats towards her son, which both Teresa and Luis have denied. Meanwhile, Teresa and Luis accuse Margaret of collaborating with Luis’ ex to spread negative stories.
An Explosive Confrontation with Rachel
Rachel Fuda’s husband John accused Teresa and Luis of investigating his personal life. Despite their denials, an online rumor accusing John of severe misdeeds inflamed tensions even more. As previews suggest, these conflicts escalate into a notable confrontation where John criticizes Teresa strongly for her alleged behavior.
A Heated Clash at Rails Steakhouse
The tension builds up further when Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral engaged in a physical altercation during the final party at Rails Steakhouse. Dolores Catania remarked about the episode, It’s definitely closure for people…you have to say it’s so bad that it’s time to let things go.
Behind the Feuds: Social Media Scandals
A social media scandal has also erupted involving claims that Teresa and Jennifer asked trolls to dig up dirt on fellow castmates. While Teresa has denied any such involvement in digging up people’s pasts, this backdrop adds another layer to an already volatile season.
Overall Discontent Among Cast Members
With ongoing conflicts among major cast members, it’s clear why a reunion could be unproductive. Viewers will need to stay tuned to see how Bravo decides to conclude this tumultuous chapter in RHONJ history.
