‘Real Housewives Of New Jersey’ Spoilers: Everything You Need To Know Ahead Of The RHONJ Season 7 Premiere

Season 7 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is set to premiere on Bravo on July 10, and it looks like New Jersey housewives Teresa Giudice, Jacqueline Laurita, Melissa Gorga, Siggy Flicker and Dolores Catania are ready to bring some serious drama.

After taking a long hiatus since the finale of Season 6 aired in November 2014, a whole lot has happened for the New Jersey version of the Bravo franchise. From prison, to a major feud, to a big cast shakeup, here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Season 7 Real Housewives of New Jersey premiere.

Teresa Giudice, Jacqueline Laurita and Melissa Gorga are back with two new housewives
Original housewives and frenemies Teresa Giudice and Jacqueline Laurita are back together again for Season 7, while Melissa Gorga, who joined the series in season three, is also returning to the reality series.

After Real Housewives producers brought in three new faces for Season 6 in the form of Amber Marchese, Nicole Napolitano and Teresa Napolitano, the former newbies are gone to make room for two other new faces, Siggy Flicker and Dolores Catania, while Dina Manzo is also out for the coming season.

According to NJ.com, fan favorites Kathy Wakile and sister Rosie Pierri will also be returning to the Real Housewives of New Jersey for Season 7, appearing as “friends” of the main cast.

According to a report by Radar Online, the two seriously butt heads while filming for the upcoming season and now allegedly “despise” each other in the wake of their drama.

“Jacqueline despises Melissa [and] doesn’t want anything to do with her. She hates her,” a source told the site of the housewives, revealing that some serious drama that went down between the two during filming earlier this year. “Jacqueline doesn’t care about Melissa,” the insider added.

Melissa spoke out about her Real Housewives drama with Jacqueline in a new interview with E! News, where she admitted that her past friendly relationship with her fellow New Jersey housewife completely changed this season.

“I think that my relationship totally changes this season, with her, completely,” Gorga said. “It was pretty shocking and I think she tried to be hurtful in certain situations.”

Jacqueline and Teresa are feuding once again
In addition to finding bad blood with Melissa, it sounds like Jacqueline and Teresa’s longstanding and now infamous Real Housewives of New Jersey feud is still in full swing.

Ahead of the Season 7 premiere, Teresa told E! News that’s she and her former friend still aren’t on the best of terms.

According to the site, Teresa referred to Jacqueline as “Jacko Wacko” during the interview and admitted that the two don’t have a relationship at this point, despite being extremely close when the New Jersey version of the Bravo franchise first premiered back in 2009.

“I’m over it,” Giudice told the site of her drama with Jacqueline. “Because, you know what, people that try to hurt you and bring you down, I have no time for them in my life at all. At all.”

In the Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 7 trailer, Laurita can even be seen blasting Teresa as a “phony b****” and a “f****** criminal,” while Giudice described her former friend as being “an evil person like Osama bin Laden.”

A new castmember was removed from the series after threatening Jacqueline
According to Real Mr. Housewife, a new Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member was allegedly removed from the show during filming after allegedly making threats of physical violence towards Jacqueline.

The site alleged earlier this year that Robyn Levy, who is not an official housewife in the coming season, threatened to harm Laurita while the cast took a trip to Vermont earlier this year, resulting in her being removed from the trip and losing her chance at becoming a full-time housewife.

“Bravo had her and her wife, Christina Flores, removed from the cast trip. They will not tolerate violent threats being made,” an insider admitted.

The site also claimed that things got so serious between the two that “Bravo lawyers had to get involved” following the altercation. “It was extremely serious, and viewers will be shocked.”

But it sounds like it wasn’t just Robyn who found serious drama with Laurita during the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast trip to Vermont.

Melissa also revealed that she and Laurita didn’t exactly see eye to eye during the New Jersey housewives’ trip to E! News.

“I think Vermont is big turning point,” Gorga told the site ahead of the Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 7 premiere. “When we go away on the girls’ trip, it was a big turning point for me, for my and Jacqueline’s relationship. It took my rose-colored glasses off and it was like really seeing someone in front of me that I didn’t see before.”

The Giudice’s prison drama will be featured
After taking an extra-long hiatus while Teresa was serving her time behind bars, The Real Housewives of New Jersey cameras were there to capture the emotional hellos and goodbyes that surrounded the Giudice family this year.

According to NJ.com, Real Housewives cameras captured the moment Giudice returned home from her almost year-long stint behind bars, and were also there to film the moment the family said goodbye to Joe Giudice when he surrendered for his prison sentence back in March.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 7 is set to premiere on July 10 at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
