Julia Fox isn’t feeling the fractured cast on RHONJ and wants Andy Cohen to force Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga to interact on camera.

On the Monday, May 20th episode of Watch What Happens Live, the 34-year-old was asked to share her two cents on Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga’s frosty attitudes toward each other in season 14 of RHONJ.

“Is it refreshing to you that Teresa and Melissa are basically just being very clear that they hate each other?” Andy Cohen asked.

The actress and model replied, “No. I think you need to step in and say, ‘I’m your boss, and we have a show to run.’”

According to Julia, she wants to see Teresa and Melissa  “just be on screen together … if they’re fighting, we want to see it. If they’re crying, we want to see it.”

Andy Cohen recently teased that a major casting shakeup for season 15 is in the works.

 A few weeks back,  Entertainment Tonight’s Brice Sander appeared on the Gabbing With Gib podcast, where he reported that Andy Cohen said the zero interactions or communication between RHONJ stars Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, and Margaret Josephs throughout season 14 will NOT work for future seasons of the series.

The Watch What Happens Live host later clarified his comments on Sirius XM’s Andy Cohen Live:

“Want to clear something up or want to add to a comment that I made that has made some news this week and I don’t know when I said it, but apparently, I said it to Brice from Entertainment Tonight, and I don’t know when. I haven’t seen him since BravoCon, I don’t think. Apparently, I told him and it got picked up all over the place that Jersey, the idea of having both Melissa and Theresa on the show, that it’s not sustainable because they’re not speaking and there are kind of two camps on the show. What I want to clarify is that I maintain that statement.”

“It isn’t a sustainable universe to have kind of two camps on the show and I think you see that with Potomac this season and why a lot of viewers, including me, were frustrated with it, but I will say this. It somehow worked this season. We got through the season and it worked and it’s interesting and as I think you see from the trailer, the season is not about Melissa versus Teresa and I think that’s great, yet they’re both still on the show and we want to see them on the show.”

Andy concluded by saying while the divide among the RHONJ cast worked this season – it won’t work in the future:

“They’re both, you know, they’re both stars, and they’ve been on the show, you know, forever, so it worked this season, but I stand by what I’m saying that for the future, it’s not sustainable. I don’t want you to think that what I said was a condemnation on this season.”

RHONJ airs on Sundays at 8 pm on Bravo.

Louie and Tre need to be fired. She should have been fired after she went to prison.

First, who is Julia Fox and why should I care what she thinks? Secondly, I'd be happy if I never saw Teresa again. She's a liar, a criminal and she's a disgusting human being. I assume Andy will keep her around to watch her marriage to Luis implode......because it will implode. It will.

Teresa & Melissa will never get along. Too much has happened. I think Tre & her brother need to work this out by themselves. NO Melissa! When/If they do makeup it should be without cameras present. Right now, the Gorgas are spinning! Especially Melissa! I'm pretty sure she practiced her answers in the Billy Bush interview. She manipulated his questions to talk about herself! ? No surprise there but the interview wasn't a good look for her. She came across cold, self-centered, and angry. She didn't seem happy but stressed. BUT, Tre is the toxic one! Melissa is a gaslighting biotch!

So many people laughed when Tre told Melissa she was going to be fired. She shows up on the show!

Everyone is talking about who will stay, Teresa OR Melissa, but I don't think either one of them are a shoo-in to stay. RHONY was completely rebooted destroyed for having ratings similar to Jersey's, so ... My guess is Teresa and Melissa have both been put on notice to either work it out, or get out, and decisions have already been made about a few of the others (like Margaret and Dullores). I can feel it in my bones.

No no no no no! I’m so tired of this feud and Teresa does not need that mess her in life and we don’t need that mess on our TVs anymore. I don’t care what Julia Fox says.

Here is the thing, it was one thing for Teresa and Melissa to want to cool it a bit, not speak, after 10 years of fighting after being the main storyline and other Housewives to have to step up …that meant Marge, Delores, Jackie, Rachel, Danielle you are the targets this season for once. I don’t think Jennifer needs to because she was the target by Marge with her affair and carried a season or two, but these others have just sat back while Jen, Teresa, Mel have carried the show for years! YEARS! So this did not mean the women were not supposed to be in the same room together! Why Bravo allowed this crap is beyond me. Bravo and Production should have shut this down immediately people not inviting each other to parties and events!! The only two who should not have been speaking were Teresa and Melissa, that’s it, The others be cast members!! Period! You aren’t family. This isn’t personal. The whole cast should have been at EVERYTHING! Production messed up huge. They tried to cut Teresa out. No. It’s not what fans want to watch these half events! And then they cover it with making it the Men’s show, no!

Sorry, I am replying to my own post but they were asking about low ratings and this applies. The biggest problem with NJ is biased and poorly performing production team. How that production team filming this mess this season didn’t see these “mini-parties” no one inviting anyone to anything and half of them way to big for the britches and not doing their Bravo job, why production did not shut that down is beyond me. It’s because this is a way too biased of a production team and it needs to be switched out so badly! The Production team caused the low ratings, period.

Exactly. The solution is not to divide the show into 2 camps who fight.

I just got wind of an interview M did with Billy Bush yesterday. She insinuated that T was “green with envy”. Wtf does T have to be jealous of? M’s lower status in society? Less money in her bank account? Smaller immediate family? Less vacations? Less relevance? In-laws that like her? “Someone please paint the picture of what she has to be jealous of.

Yeah, really.

I saw it to., she was ridiculous.

I actually do not want to see Teresa and Melissa speak. I am OVER hearing about their feud and hate for one another. I am also OVER Margaret and Rachel talking about how much they hate Teresa and will not speak with her. So far, the season is nobody interacting and only talking about and fighting about not interacting. Move on to something……anything else.

Well Bravo caused this mess a decade ago by bringing Joe and Melissa on the show in a slimy way. So now they're going to pull the boss act and tell them to snap out of it? BTW WTH is Julia Fox? No offense, but I had to google it. ?
Ross May 23, 2024 - 9:38 am
This is a good perspective. I didn’t even think about it this way.
SU May 23, 2024 - 9:55 pm
It was slimy of Bravo, and deceitful of Joe not to inform his sister. Regardless, of whether they were talking or not, he went behind Teresa's back to completely expose their family issues to all and sundry, right there showed money was worth more to him than repairing their family. I don't necessarily like or dislike any of them, but doing what he and Melissa did, is as shady as all hell.

Yes, Joe did it for the money but he also did it to keep his fame obsessed wife happy. She has the upper hand in that marriage and he will do anything to keep her happy.
