RHONJ’s Dolores Catania Explains Pre-Reunion Meeting ā€˜Theory’ After Season 14 Accusations

The Real Housewives of New JerseyĀ is back for Season 14, and the drama is already boiling over. TheĀ season premiereĀ featuredĀ tons ofĀ shocking revelations, including the news that some of the cast met before the Season 13 reunion to devise a plan to take downĀ Teresa GiudiceĀ and her husband,Ā Luis Ruelas.Ā 

Tre mentioned it during a sitdown withĀ Dolores CataniaĀ in Episode 1, which aired on Sunday. ā€œFrank told Luis that they all met atĀ Margaret [Josephsā€™] house before [the Season 13 reunion] happened to have a plan to go against Luis andĀ I,ā€ she said. ā€œSo then after New York, my husband reached out to Frank, and they made up, and [Frank said], ā€˜I just want you to know that they all came up with a plan trying to take Luis and myself down.ā€

Dolores confirmed the meeting between Frank and the other Jersey cast membersā€¦Ā 

During Doloā€™sĀ Watch What Happens LiveĀ appearance, the reality star toldĀ Andy CohenĀ that there wasĀ definitelyĀ a meeting before last yearā€™s reunion.Ā However, sheĀ wasnā€™t sureĀ what they discussed.Ā 

ā€œ[Frank] was invited to the, um ā€” yeah, the meeting. Yes, heĀ was invitedĀ to the meeting,ā€ she said. ā€œWas it to take Luis and Teresa down? I couldnā€™t say that. But I can say that it was a meeting before the reunion.ā€

Andy replied, saying he believes some of the HousewivesĀ talkĀ before reunion day, but Dolores said sheĀ hasĀ never been part of those conversations.Ā 

ā€œNot me. I have a theory: You cannot practice whatĀ youā€™re going toĀ say before you getĀ inĀ that reunion because it throws you off. You canā€™t go in with it scripted, like, ā€˜Andyā€™s gonna say thisĀ andĀ then Iā€™m gonna say this.ā€™ But conversations happen, yeah.ā€

During the season premiere, Dolores called Frankā€™s ā€œmeeting of the mindsā€Ā completelyĀ ā€œnormal.ā€Ā 

ā€œI think we all do itā€¦ with this group, itā€™s tit for tat.ā€

The Real Housewives of New JerseyĀ continues on Sundays at 8/7c.Ā
