Everyone is still waiting for news about the future of The Real Housewives of New Jersey following the tense finale. However, not everyone is checking for updates every once in a while. Margaret Josephs, who first appeared on the show in Season 8, has recently spoken to Us Weekly at the grand opening of Planet Hollywood in New York City on Tuesday, March 11, about the RHONJ break. She seems content with whatever comes her way, even if she is not asked back for the show.
Unlike some cast mates and fans, Josephs expressed that the RHONJ break was “fun.” Speaking to Us Weekly, she said, “Do I feel sad we’re not filming? It’s a welcome break. I’m not going to lie. It’s relaxing. It’s fun, but, of course, I’d love to go back.”
Because of the ongoing tensions, not everyone will be able to return for Season 15. In Season 14 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Josephs’ riendship with Jackie Goldschneider suffered, and her feud with Teresa Giudice continued. Reports that insider sources debunked soon after stated that Josephs, along with Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda, were not asked to return. Insider sources recently clarified that they were not “technically fired,” but nothing has been promised to them. Us Weekly asked about Season 15 and the possibility of not returning, and Josephs said, “If that’s what the Bravo Gods want, that’s fine for me. I’ve had a great ride.”
Everyone’s Future on ‘RHONJ’ Is Still Uncertain
Since the conclusion of Season 14 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Josephs has remained close to Fuda, Cabral, Melissa Gorga, The Traitors winner Dolores Catania, and Jennifer Fessler. When asked about her dream lineup for Season 15, she said her friends and some new faces. “I love everybody to work and have a successful career,” she said. “I think some friendships have gone past where they belong. And you know what? If it’s not me, then that’s fine, too. I have a beautiful life.”
Fessler expressed that she would only go back as a friend and noted that Giudice and Gorga would never “mend fences.” Cabral shared that she would want everyone to return “except three people.” She did not say names, but her feud with Jennifer Aydin and her disagreement with Goldschneider and Giudice show that they are not part of her RHONJ lineup. “I hope the dynamics change,” she said. “I hope I get something better to work with!”
An insider source close to Bravo detailed that Bravo could not promise for RHONJ to return amid casting struggles. “As far as RHONJ goes, there is no timeslot for 2025 for the show,” the source claimed. “There is also nothing scheduled for 2026. To be blunt, there is no show as things currently stand.” The Real Housewives of New Jersey can be streamed on Peacock.
