Andy Cohen gives context on Bravo’s decision not to film a reunion for season 14 of RHONJ.
On Monday, June 3, Andy Cohen called into SiriusXM’s Reality Checked with Kiki Monique to give context on the recent announcement that the RHONJ cast will not be having a traditional reunion for season 14.
Andy said:
“I do want to give some context to the announcement over the weekend that there was gonna be no Jersey reunion because I feel like there are a lot of theories about what this could mean. I think that the main thing is this will all make sense once you see the finale. It is one of those classic Jersey finales that people will be talking about for a long time to come. And when all of us producers saw the last cut of the finale, we all came to the decision separately, and then we talked. We all had the same thought, which is the finale is kind of the finale and the reunion all in one.”
He continued: “It’s in the great tradition of absolute shocking, dramatic Jersey finales and they have this final epic group encounter, which is like, it feels like the Last Supper and is just so Jersey. And it’s shocking, and it’s dramatic, and it’s amazing TV. I’m telling you, when you see it, I think that you’ll feel complete. I really do. And there will be something that Bravo is cooking up in place of a reunion, and so that is to be announced.”
“This season, it is really catching fire. There’s stuff happening with everyone. I feel like this announcement about the reunion came without much context, and so I just wanted to fill in some of the blanks for you. The reason that you guys heard about it. If you think about the timing of when we tape reunions, typically, we tape them about six weeks before the end of the season, which means that we would’ve been taping this one in a couple [of] weeks, which means you have to let the cast know, okay, what date are we taping it and what kind of clothes and whatever. We were letting the cast know. And, of course, it leaked as things do,” Andy Cohen added.
As AllAboutTRH EXCLUSIVELY reported on Saturday, June 1, Bravo has canceled the RHONJ season 14 reunion.
The cancelation comes as the hit Bravo show has drastically declined in ratings in the last four episodes. Our inside sources reveal why this decision was made, saying, “The reunion is all about resolution, and there is so much divide amongst the cast that Bravo feels like they would be wasting everyone’s time filming a reunion that would mirror season 13’s reunion.”
So what does that mean for the future of the Real Housewives of New Jersey?
“Sadly, the cast have been so divided with many refusing to film with each other that Bravo thinks it best to take a long pause on Jersey,” our inside source admits.
The reunion was set for June 27th, but production notified each RHONJ cast member that it had been canceled.
Our sources reveal that all of the ladies are in complete shock and are worried that they will be fired.
The only other Real Housewives franchise that did not have a reunion following a season was the Real Housewives of New York season 13 cast. This resulted in Bravo completely revamping the New York Housewives franchise with a new cast.
Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Sundays at 8 pm on Bravo.

If true, I feel sorry for you, Teresa. What a hateful person you are to say that about a child who is family. I won’t give it life by repeating it. It’s too vile.
What?!!
I wish they’d figure out no one wants to watch people scream at each other. It doesn’t matter which franchise.
As I wrote yesterday, by canceling the reunion, I suspect AC is sending the entire cast (but especially Teresa and the Gorgas) a me$$age reminding them that they are the hired help, are not calling the shots, and can be replaced. My guess is it worked.
I hope Bravo doesn't put RHONJ on pause but I can certainly understand why. When Teresa's family came on, it just went downhill. It was apparent from the start they were up to no good and over the years, it's been a revolving door of buttholes trying to take Teresa down. Such a shame and I can't wait to see how this all plays out.
I wouldn’t mind if they stuck a fork in this show and let it go reboot and recast. Give them a year off or just say bye, bye.
Does this mean that the Last Supper will be filled with screaming accusations that never get addressed? Does little Joey fight someone, male or female, as he usually threatens to do during the reunions? Maybe Andy will have them on WWHL, singly or as couples, to confront them with inconsistencies from the season? I guess we will see…
Oh I’m sure Marge Mel minions all squeezed their table flip moment in
You can count on it!
Nope, they won’t. Teresa brings in too many viewers. She proved it for them on her wedding special, even with the Boycott threat she pulled 30% more viewers higher ratings than this season so far for instance and 50% higher than Erika’s Vegas Special, and Erika’s ran right after a reunion, built in audience.
Teresa even brings more just doing WWHL in comparison to Marge and Mel lmao !!! Teresa got cred from Andy being guest 42 ( now 43)times then meme posted “ fun fact I d been on 36 times” .. she’s an ass lol!!!!!!
“ The Last Super” pretty much means this show is a wrap.
It seems like it . ?
OMG…It has been so nice to come to this site and comment after they got rid of the haters but here we are with the same haters with different names posting here again. They just pollute this site. It's one thing for us all to disagree ( or agree) but the level of hate that these commenters have is toxic and just makes this a bad experience. You know who I mean. They just appeared out of no where with the same language and messaging. Identical to those that were removed a few weeks ago.
Who were the haters?!?…
Can't remember their names but they were removed from this site a few weeks ago. They flooded each story with negative comments and name calling. I think it was about two or three commenters. And they would upvote each other and egg each other on. Every day it just went on forever. They were obsessed with Teresa…Hey I get if you don't like her but these commenters were just obsessed.
Lol… The internet is an interesting place… Fawning over an actual felon…
I dunno, knowing what we now know (about certain gov't institutions) maybe the Giudices WERE set up, as were the Chrisleys, as was Martha Stewart, as was Jen Shah … oh wait, scratch that last one:-).
No doubt!!…
Probably bots. The Bravo section on Reddit is full of them.
Dr Who…
675309 and Dr. Who were two of them. I had to block one of them and the other blocked me so it was a win-win situation and now they are back.
TOTALLY AGREE. Obsessed with expressing hate, and clogging this site with their repetitive BS. Trolls.
I thought the same thing reading some of the comments…sounds very familiar, glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
Unfortunately there’s no limit to how many profiles some of them make. I just wish they would talk shit amongst themselves instead of trolling Teresa’s fans.
It really was out of control … I remember several of us tried to get them to cool their jets and remind them that none of this is that serious, but it only got worse.

I'm calling Horsesh_t. We know why there was no reunion.
I am going to be so pissed if they fire Teresa and Jen Aydin.
I’m so curious about the finale . So I’ll see if I think bravo made the right decision.
