It’s official: Margaret Josephs is no longer in the running for Season 15 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. And just like that, she finally has something in common with Jennifer Aydin.
Marge confirmed her exit in a heartfelt Instagram post, revealing that she’s stepping into a new chapter—and possibly another network. Naturally, the Bravoverse is having some big reactions to the news, and they continue to roll in. Andy Cohen, Melissa Gorga, and a whole bunch of other Bravolebs are showing love to Marge after this major casting move.
Margaret Josephs is leaving The Real Housewives of New Jersey
Marge shared the news about her RHONJ exit on Instagram, explaining that after months of conversations with Bravo, she was ready to move on to a new chapter.
“We’ve discussed it, and I think the timing is right,” Marge told her followers.
In her goodbye message, she thanked the fans, NBCUniversal, and Bravo for the journey. Underneath the post, Andy reacted to the news, thanking Marge for her seven years of service to the Housewives.
“No thank YOU,” Andy wrote. “What a ride. Also I LOVE your house and taste – always and forever.”
Margaret’s on-screen pal, Melissa, also shared some supportive words.
Melissa added, “Marge, you’re one of the good ones. Your one-liners were my favorite part of the show. I completely understand this decision. Your next chapter will be a fantastic one, and I can’t wait to see what’s next for you.”
Elsewhere in the comments, RHONJ’s Rachel Fuda and Jennifer Fessler showed love to Marge. There’s still no word on whether they’ll also be departing the show, but for now, their focus was on Marge.
Jennifer wrote, ‘Thank you for taking me along on your ride, my dear friend. Being a ‘friend of’ the Marge was an honor and a privilege. Love you so much.”
Of course, fans will miss Marge and her iced coffee-fueled shade and rapid-fire one-liners, but let’s be real. She isn’t going to be away from our screens for very long. She’s rumored to be filming a new girls’ trip show for Amazon with Savannah Chrisley and a few former Housewives. In Marge’s exit video, she was already on the set of the new show.
“I’ve been blessed to work on a different project,” Marge teased in her farewell video. “I’m on the set right now.”
So, this isn’t the end of Marge on our screens. It’s just the end of her RHONJ journey, but we can’t wait to watch what happens next.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock.
