Real Housewives of New JerseyTeresa Giudice addresses rumor that she's leaving
Published on December 01, 2025 EDT The "Real Housewives" franchise has recently lost many cast members, including Robyn Dixon, Candiace Dillard Bassett, and Kenya Moore.

Teresa Giudice hasn't flipped the table on her Real Housewives of New Jersey tenure just yet.

The RHONJ OG addressed a rumor that she's ready to leave the long-running Bravo series during a Tuesday morning interview on Live With Kelly & Mark, on which she also confirmed that the series' current edition will end with an unorthodox conclusion, after it was previously revealed that a traditional reunion wouldn't happen at the end of season 14.

"Rumors are that you're considering leaving the show, are they true?" Kelly Ripa asked Giudice, who resisted the idea.

"Really? Who put those rumors out there? Maybe some of my cast members," the 52-year-old replied. "No, I'm not leaving. I started the show. When Bravo wants me to leave, that's when I'll leave."

Mark Consuelos observed that Giudice was "there first," way back on the RHONJ season 1 premiere in 2009.

"Yes, I was there first!" Giudice said, before speaking about the planned reunion-style episode she said that Bravo has planned for the cast.

"We're having something. I don't know what they're calling it, but we are doing something. Make sure everyone tunes in for that, but I don't know what they're going to call it," Giudice observed, adding that she's "glad we're not doing what we did last year" because of the contention it stoked.

"When you wanted to speak, other people wouldn't let you speak. Come on, if we have something to say, let us get our point out, and then you speak," she remembered of last year's fiery reunion, which included accusations of private investigation, infidelity, and more. "We were talking over!"

When reached for comment, a Bravo representative tells Entertainment Weekly the network "won’t be commenting" further on the RHONJ season 14 closer.

Giudice's relationship with her brother, Joe Gorga, and the star's sister-in-law and fellow RHONJ cast member, Melissa Gorga, has stoked the most consistent dramatic tension on the show for several seasons, with the trio refusing to speak to each other on season 14 so far.

"I think things have gotten really toxic. There's two of my cast members that have played really dirty behind the scenes and it's coming out. It's all coming out, because it always rises to the top, it always comes out in the laundry," Melissa told Entertainment Tonight, confirming that she thinks there needs to be a cast shakeup for future seasons. "It's been years, so it's all coming forward."

Among other cast members, however, things took a shockingly violent turn on a recent installment of RHONJ, which saw Danielle Cabral break a cup on the side of Jennifer Aydin's face in response to the latter shoving her during a heated argument at Giudice's house.

RHONJ airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
