Rachel Fuda calls out Teresa Giudice’s “manufactured” friendships with RHONJ co-stars. Plus, the OG fires back at the bold and false claims.
In a new interview, Rachel Fuda insists that the fake friendships on the Real Housewives of New Jersey franchise are easy to spot.
While appearing on Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast, Rachel says that she feels Teresa Giudice‘s “manufactured” relationships have tarnished the hit Bravo show.
“We have true relationships with each other, and I think that’s the thing that was so unique about our room for the watch party,” Rachel said.
According to the 33-year-old, she and pals Margaret Josephs, Melissa Gorga, Danielle Cabral and Jennifer Fessler have “true relationships versus manufactured relationships.”
She adds, “And I feel like that was a very stark reality, and it’s so clear.”
Rachel went on to declare that she feels that Jennifer Aydin and Jackie Goldschneider are merely soldiers who help Teresa take down her enemies instead of true friends.
“You watch the other room, and it’s like, ‘OK, Teresa, what’s the narrative now? What are we going to say? What do we have to prove now?’ It’s just very manufactured now, in my opinion. … I think that’s the biggest problem. I think our show is truly lacking authenticity in its relationships and friendships,” she said.
“I feel like when you were watching our room, it’s like a group of friends bantering, making comments, gasping, laughing, like, all those little things that we would do if we were sitting on my living room couch — and we have done.”
When asked about the rumored reboot for season 15 of RHONJ, Rachel admits that the show has gotten “so dark” and “so toxic,” but she says she’d love to be included in future seasons.
“I would love to be included, and I think that whatever they decide to do with the show, whether they reboot it, bring some of us back, none of us back, all of us … whatever it is, I would love to see the show move forward in a more positive direction,” she said. “I would love to see it be a little bit lighter.”
Meanwhile, Teresa Giudice fired back at Rachel’s “manufactured” friendships claim on Page Six‘s Instagram post.
“Why is she so obsessed with me???” the RHONJ OG commented on Page Six’s Instagram post about their interview with Rachel.
Real Housewives of New Jersey isn’t expected to return for season 15 until late 2025 or early 2026.
