All eyes are on The Real Housewives of New Jersey as rumors swirl that there’s “test filming” happening over in the Garden State. The chatter has intensified in the last few weeks, and Real Housewives of New York alum Luann de Lesseps theorized that the “test filming” could be the real deal. Dorinda Medley, however, recently shared a different opinion. She doesn’t think we’re any closer to Season 15.
Dorinda doesn’t think Bravo has “figured out” RHONJ Season 15

Dorinda recently spoke to Reality Tea about the 10-year anniversary of SiriusXM’s Radio Andy and the daily show she hosts with Kiki Monique, Reality Checked. We couldn’t let her get away without racking her brain about some of the biggest Bravo headlines. Her thoughts on RHONJ surprised us.
Although Luann told a reporter earlier that day that RHONJ may have already kicked off filming, Dorinda thinks Andy Cohen and the Bravo execs are still trying to piece together the puzzle for Season 15.
“There’s testimony, there’s rumblings, there’s all kinds of stuff, but at the end of the day, from my experience, when I was on, it’s not that complicated,” Dorinda said. “When they decide, literally, you’re like in your kitchen, you know, stirring tomato sauce, and they’re like, ‘We want you back. We’re going to be filming in three weeks.’ It’s that fast.”
Meanwhile, RHONJ has been in limbo since August 2024. The word on the street is that Margaret Josephs, Melissa Gorga, and Dolores Catania could return. Supposedly, a few fresh faces are in the mix with the vets. These rumors have been festering for months, much to Teresa Giudice’s dismay.
The rumors that the ladies have been test-filming seem like a sign of progress. But, Dorinda doesn’t think the bigwigs at Bravo would drag their feet this much.
“When Bravo moves, Bravo moves, and I just don’t get the feeling that they have that whole thing figured out yet,” Dorinda said. “It’s a hard one to figure out. Once they make that decision, it’s going to be both exciting and divisive.”
With that, keep your eyes peeled for official news about Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 15. Until we hear it from Andy or Bravo, it’s all just hearsay.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock, along with Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
