The fate of Real Housewives of New Jersey remains unknown. But if it does return to Bravo, alum Kim DePaola hopes to see Margaret Josephs’ name attached.
Kim recently fell out with her pal Teresa Giudice, who just so happens to be a foe of Margaret’s. So, this sudden shift tracks. But Margaret also has many attributes that Kim appreciates. And it is these characteristics that RHONJ needs, according to Kim.
Kim D says Bravo “loves to get down in the mud” amid RHONJ cast rumors
After years of filming with a split cast, alongside dark storylines filled with life-altering allegations, the cameras went dark on RHONJ. Following this extended pause, rumors swirled that certain cast members were test-filming for Season 15. But then, silence. If this series does receive a Hail Mary, however, here’s what Kim hopes to see.
On her podcast, Get Real with Kim D, Kim stressed, “You need a Margaret on that show. You need someone who’s gonna say it the way it is. She doesn’t care. She tells it like it is.”
To keep the storylines moving, “You need someone who’s gonna say what she’s gonna say. If there’s something to be [told] about Luis [Ruelas] or Teresa, or someone else, she’s gonna say it. I mean, it is what it is.” And then, Kim switched gears to call out her former network for the hypocrisy she thinks she sees.
“Bravo says, ‘Oh, we want more family-oriented [storylines].’ They’re full of crap. They love the nastiness. They love to get down in the mud. That’s what Bravo does, and that’s what the people are looking to see.”
Kim then reiterated that Margaret is the girl for this job. “She’s not going anywhere,” Kim stressed. But is Kim right? Only time will tell.
Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock.
