Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Danielle Staub, Dolores Cantania, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin and Jackie Goldschneider will sit down with franchise creator Andy Cohen for a three-part reunion, which will begin airing on Wednesday.
The trailer (above) teased a particularly “dramatic” reunion as many explosive moments from Season 10 spill over into the reunion, from Goldschneider’s eating disorder, to the shallow opinions of Cantania’s relationship with boyfriend David Principe. Gorga’s husband Joe Gorga is also expected to shed more light on the rumors of infidelity surrounding Giudice’s husband Joe Giudice, who has been deported since his release from ICE custody in 2019.
Of course, the tension surrounding Staub and Josephs will be front and center whenever Staub finally decides to come out of her dressing room and address the ongoing beef with her castmate. The pair were involved in a huge fight during Season 10—Staub notably pulled Josephs’ ponytail and dragged her across the floor during a private shopping event—and in the reunion trailer, Staub refuses to join the rest of the cast unless she is sitting next to Cohen and as far away from Josephs as possible.
In a separate sneak peek released by Bravo on Tuesday, Staub said she was certainly going to address why some of the women felt the need to start issues with her just for the sake of getting a reaction out of her, especially when they can never truly handle her reaction.
“I went through this for two-and-a-half years with Margaret alone. It’s a total of 12 years—it doesn’t matter what anybody says, I’ve been mentioned in every single season. I’m very clear as to why she did it, because she’s desperate, otherwise she’d have her own storyline,” Staub said. “She’s desperately hiding her own stuff.”
Although Staub has never backed down from a fight with any of her RHONJ enemies, her Season 10 debacle with Josephs led to her decision to not return for another season of the reality TV show. “I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, but I will never… I will never film with the ladies in this existing cast right now. I won’t. I just won’t do it,” she continued.
Fans should expect the cat claws to come out between Aydin and Goldschneider, too. “I don’t think it’s a surprise to anybody that Jennifer has said and done a lot of things that I am not comfortable with. So I’d like to talk to her about them,” Jackie said in the Bravo video.
Earlier in the season Aydin and Goldschneider clashed after new cast member Aydin began prying into Goldschneider’s finances.
Along with all the “hypocrisy” some castmates committed, Aydin said she definitely had a lot to say about the comments Goldschneider made about her throughout the season.
“I want to address the idea that I’m impressed by her money, because I found out she has all this money and I’m still not impressed by her and I still think she’s boring as s**t,” Jennifer said. “So no, the money does not impress me, especially since you do not enjoy it so what would impress me about that? She says that I don’t know how to be a role model for my kids, which I’d rather be a role model like me as opposed to her any day of the week because I knew people like her growing up and they never spend any money and they ended up having nothing. They have no money and no memory to show for it.”
She added: “That’s not the kind of role model I want to be. I want to teach my kids how to enjoy life and be gracious and to be hospitable and nice host and not stingy.”
Part 1 of the Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 10 reunion airs on Bravo on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET. Part 2 and Part 3 air on March 11 and March 18, respectively.
