For those of our readers who miss the Real Housewives of New Jersey twins, Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano, I have exciting news. <crickets> Um, at least one of you misses them, right? <tap tap> Is this thing on?
Well, then I have exciting news. đ On the latest episode of the twinsâ podcast, Girls In Heels, Teresa and Nicole revealed whether or not they plan to return to Real Housewives of New Jersey and dished on a new reality show in the works â they already shot the pilot â that will focus solely on their family.

When asked about Real Housewives of New Jersey season 7, Nicole said itâs on hold until Teresa Giudice is released from prison. Beyond that, itâs anyoneâs guess. âIt all depends on when Teresa comes out, what theyâre going to do with the casting, and how theyâre going to move forward,â she shared. âThere is a lot going on with Bravo. I donât think theyâre really sure how theyâre going to proceed.â
Teresa jumped in to say that her husband, Rino Aprea, isnât too keen on the idea of doing the show again, and she admitted, she wonât unless the contract âwowsâ her. âIf the contracts are right, weâll see,â she said. âI wonât do it unless itâs SO WOW. Otherwise, it was a lot of stress for me, a lot of shit that I went through. Thatâs been a point of contention with me and my husband. Heâs like, âIs it really worth it?â He goes back and forth.â
What Did Joe Giudice Say About Rino Aprea On WWHL?
âWeâre looking to do our own thing,â Teresa announced. âWe filmed a pilot. Itâs going to happen. We have a lot of people interested. Weâre looking for a great time slot. You have to be careful. You have to compete, so you really have to find a great time slot. Weâre looking right now for that right time slot. Iâm looking forward to doing something like that [with] family.â
Teresaâs co-host, Cooper Lawrence, pointed out a benefit of being on a Bravo show â a huge platform to launch that next product, next restaurant, next show. Teresa said, âItâs a great platform, absolutely, but thatâs why Iâm really looking to do a family show where I am not sharing time with other housewives. It would be all about us, and we can have more control over what weâre showing.â
Nicole added, âAs much as itâs a platform, you say, âOkay, will next season be different? Will there not be as much drama?'â
Here, Teresa and Nicole started to bicker over who had it worse on the Real Housewives of New Jersey. (Disclaimer: Itâs not easy to tell who is who when the twins are talking at the same time and trying to outdo each other, but I tried my best to pull a few quotes and figure out who said what.)
Teresa: I think Iâve been through a lot more than you.
Nicole: I still went through a lot with my children.
Teresa: I mean, theyâre talking about nonsense, saying my motherâs been with my husband. These people are sick.
Nicole: My children had a little social media Twitter war with one of the Housewivesâ husbands. That was very hard for me and their father to see. Yes, they were sticking up for the grandmother, but they had gone through a lot too. They had to go into school and deal.
Teresa: Thereâs always a price to pay. Is it worth it?
Nicole (or Cooper, not sure): Is it worth selling your soul to the devil?
Teresa: Itâs true. You kinda are.
As for the twinsâ new show, think Manzoâd with Children meets Vanderpump Rules. The pilot was filmed at Rinoâs restaurant Angeloâs of Mulberry St. âWe worked with the producer who worked with us on Housewives,â revealed Teresa. âA lot of people have been interested. The pilotâs done; it was done a few months ago. Thatâs my point, whatever we want to showcase, being our own show, we would have a lot more control over garbage. Housewives, thereâs a lot of fun to it, but you donâtâŚâ
More back and forth chatter about Real Housewives of New Jersey â who endured more drama, who had more fun, blah, blah, blahâŚ
âNicole had a better experience,â insisted Teresa. âTo be honest, you do not know whatâs going to come up with reality. You donât. I felt like they just took me down at the knees. That was a shocker to me. It was so repulsive, so bizarre.â
Teresa added that her hard time had nothing to do with so-called skeletons in the closet, but rather flat-out lies made up by her co-stars. âI donât call anything skeletons,â said Teresa. âEverything in my life is an experience â good, bad, or indifferent, I embrace everything. I donât have any regrets. I donât have any secrets. You want to know, itâs out there. You want to know, ask me and I will tell you. I donât have anything to hide.âÂ
Did someone say new reality show?!? Somewhere, Bobby Ciasulli is frantically dialing former ticket to reality TV stardom girlfriend Nicole while mapping out the best routes to the bathrooms at Angeloâs on Mulberry St.
