Season 14 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is set to premiere on May 5. The upcoming season promises some intense drama as Theresa Giudice and her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, refuse to film together. While fans are excited to see what is in store for the ladies of the Garden State, we can’t forget that season 14 looks a lot different than season 1. Do you know that only one cast member has been on the series since the very beginning?
Theresa Giudice is the only current housewife to appear in season 1 of ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’
After so many seasons, cast changes are to be expected, but only one member of The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast has been there since the very beginning. Theresa Giudice is the only current cast member who appeared as a full-fledged housewife in the show’s first season. She has never left.

Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 will premiere in just a few days. But the drama has already begun on social media.

Laurita — who is the sister-in-law of fellow Rhonj alum Caroline Manzo — was recently talking to fans on Instagram when she was asked about her thoughts on Gorga. When asked if she thought Gorga was a liar, Laurita offered an interesting response. She not only claimed that Gorga was “good” at lying, she blamed her and her husband, Joe, for ruining her friendship with Teresa Giudice.

And just like that, The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion came to a close. Not with a whimper, but some yelling, accusations, drama rehashing and yes, a group hug. First, that accusation. Yes, last week Teresa Giudice said she thinks Jacqueline Laurita and possibly Caroline Manzo called the federal government on her, resulting in her prison sentence and husband Joe Giudice's current prison term for fraud. "I feel like she was definitely dabbling in it, she was speaking to people, getting information, to people that maybe those certain people then went to the feds," Teresa clarified during part two of the reunion. Chris Laurita came to his wife's defense and pointed to a mutual friend who...

The schism between the Giudice and Laurita clans is still going strong on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. In the Sunday, Oct. 16 episode viewers will see Joe Giudice's going away party—he reported to serve his 41-month prison sentence in March—and one person will not be there, despite being invited: Chris Laurita. "I was going to go," Chris told Richie and Kathy Wakile and Rosie Perri while out bowling, "but then Dolores told me don't go." Joe invited Chris and Jacqueline Laurita, and Jacqueline gave him her blessing to go, but she would not be attending after the blowout she had in Vermont with Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga.

Amidst working hard to overcome family differences in Arizona with therapy, there’s still unrest between a few cast members that spark another fire after Melissa’s birthday dinner.
When heated words are exchanged between the Gorgas and the Giudices, it’s never good — and when glassware gets broken, it’s even worse. So when the cast goes to a therapy resort in Arizona for Melissa Gorga‘s birthday and therapy sessions, you know that everyone is going to let their true feelings out.
The ‘Rhonj’ Walk The Line In Arizona
In the third and final installment of the The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Melissa wakes up on her birthday the way any girl would want to: with her husband, Joe Gorga, thrusting his crotch in her face, doing a dance move called the “dip.” Melissa didn’t look like she enjoyed it (and we didn’t either!) but...

Therapy is helping the ‘Rhonj’ cast come to terms with some of their issues, but you could still cut the aerosol-filled air with a knife. Also, Teresa and Jacqueline finally talk (and burn) things out. Is their friendship finally back on track?
The cast of the Real Housewives of New Jersey are still in Arizona for Melissa Gorga‘s birthday on the Sept. 1 episode, but the dry heat might be getting to everyone. Therapy sessions are going seemingly well for the group — so well, in fact, that the unlikeliest of people (we’re mostly looking at you, Teresa Giudice) decide that now is the time to talk things out. But is this just a calm before the storm?

Melissa wakes up and declares that she’s sick of the emotional therapy sessions that the group has been having and just wants to have a drink by the pool.

Season 5 of Bravo's "Real Housewives of New Jersey" may be a few months away from premiering, but the drama has already begun.
Housewife Jacqueline Laurita, husband Christopher Laurita and fellow cast member Joe Gorga are facing assault and harassment charges following a brawl at a local clothing store's grand opening in Ridgewood, N.J. on March 30, In Touch reports.
Ridgewood Police Captain Jacqueline Luthcke confirms that "charges are pending at this time against the three individuals," and that the police are waiting "for the court to sign off on the charges still."
The brawl, which also involved a Paramus, N.J. resident named John "Johnny the Greek" Karagiorgis, occurred on-camera, while the hit show was filming. The store's owner says that "three custom sinks were broken" and that "there was blood on the walls" after the fight broke out between Karagiorgis and the cast members.

If you live in Franklin Lakes, N.J., and happen to star on "Real Housewives of New Jersey," being a stripper is just about the worst insult you can fling at a fellow cast member.
At least that's our impression, considering the accusations made over the years about the ladies, from Danielle Staub to Melissa Gorga and now even the show's resident sweetheart, Jacqueline Laurita.
In Sunday's (Oct. 14) explosive conclusion to the "Rhonj" reunion, the rest of the menfolk join Joe Guidice on the hot seat. One of the points beleaguered host Andy Cohen tries to clear up is how Jacqueline met her husband, Chris Laurita.
"Joe [Giudice] claims that you told him that you met me in Las Vegas as a stripper," Jacqueline tells her husband. After Chris insists they met at a trade show in Chicago, Giudice tries to defend himself:
"I never said she was a stripper [and Chris] never came out and said stripper,...

Jacqueline Laurita has more important things to worry about these days than the drama unfolding between Teresa Giudice and the other ladies on "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." The reality star tells People magazine that her 3-year-old son, Nicholas, has autism.
At around 18 months old, Nicholas began having issues with his speech and motor skills and started refusing to answer to his name.
"We had no idea what was going on," Jacqueline says, adding that she hid her son's medical issues from the reality cameras during the taping of Season 4.
Of course, once she and husband Chris Laurita received their son's diagnosis, it came with a whole new batch of concerns.
"I worry about him being independent when he's older," says Jacqueline, who also has two other children, Ashlee, 21, and C.J., 10. "I spend all my time researching what we can do for him."

I know, I know: All you want to see is what historians and scholars will forever dub "the call." In case you've, like, been having a real life outside of the computer and TV (loser), I'm referring to the horrific moment when Teresa's husband Joe is outed as a juicy cheater/verbally abusive husband. Get your popcorn and medicinal cocktail, folks ... your significant other is about to look a whole lot better.
But before we can get to that horror show, let's see what's up in Russian River Valley. Oh, how cute, Teresa and Joe are taking a photo! "Joe, you don't smile good," she screeches. In an attempt to get him to flash those pearly whites she utters that ol' photographer go-to: "Wanna bang me in the a--?" It's like, "Say cheese!," if you want the subject to throw up in his/her mouth and then file for a restraining order.

I'll be honest: Not much happens in this episode. All we learned last night is that the road to Napa never did run smooth and is, in fact, paved with propane and tiffs over nothing that infinitely run in a Möbius strip of dumbassery and Teresa's bowel movements. Choice. Preparations for the ill-advised trip are made as Hurricane Irene looms ominously overhead. Gia side-eyes the camera as Tre displays two recent purchases: leopard-print PJs and something that looks like a dress that The Little Mermaid's Ariel would wear once her marriage went south and she began to hit the sauce. She and Jacqueline miss each other and both hope for a reconciliation but decide it's highly unlikely. "The things they're fighting about make no sense at all," says Chris Laurita, in case we were unaware. Joe Giudice, meanwhile, continues to be the worst husband on the Eastern seaboard. Jacqueline...

Teresa and Melissa make nice, Joe Gorga shows off his sexy side and Melissa performs at a music festival on the July 15 episode of 'Rhonj.' It's funny how the tables have turned with Teresa Giudice. Now she's best buds with freneminster-in-law Melissa, but fighting with former gal pals Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita. I guess anything really can happen on the Jersey Shore. The episode began with Joe Gorga having a "moment" when Melissa Gorga walks out in her sexy red one-piece. A moment that was far from romantic because he goes on to say that he can't stand because his "tarzan" is, well, hard, and he doesn't want the kids to see. Gross. At least we know they're still having sex. "The key to success in marriage is to have sex every single day," Melissa says.

It feels important to note that Caroline Manzo is inexplicably promoting the new movie People Like Us starring Elizabeth Banks. The Manzos remain the Bradys of this show, with the resplendent mini-greyhound-looking family dog Austin as a breakout star. As Caroline irately does dishes, they chill on the front lawn, where Chris Laurita comes bearing wine and thought-provoking discussion regarding the throwdown between Jacqueline and Teresa last week. We also see the effects the fight had on both women. Jacqueline, in the throes of a "complete breakdown," hyperventilates in the bathroom. Meanwhile, at the Brokedown Palace, Teresa reveals to Joe Giudice that she ran to dark horse Dina after her fight with Jacqueline to get the hit of "real friendship" she was tweaking for."[Jacqueline] was like, 'Oh my God, you didn't tell me [you might be going to jail, something any good friend would be concerned about in the Actual...

After apologizing via open letters to her castmates and former friends in In Touch last week, Teresa Giudice continued her apology tour on Sunday's (April 29) episode of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," saying she's sorry to anyone who was apologized about comments in her cookbook. Little does Teresa realize, it's not the cookbook her brother, Joe Gorga, and sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, are so steamed about -- it's the fact that Teresa allegedly told her brother that Melissa would leave him for a wealthier man.
"It's only a matter of time before that storm hits," Kathy Wakile says. And she wasn't even referring to the black eye Joe Giudice gets from a candlestick while grabbing Richie Wakile's testicles (???). From the previews for next week's episode, it looks like the real storm is rolling in -- and everyone's wearing bindis!

Bravo rolled out a big blue carpet on April 4, for their Upfront Party at Center 548 in New York City. I arrived at 6:30 p.m. with my usual wing man, Couples Therapy housemate Chris Nirschel, and we were ready to get our reality on!
Center 548 is a warehouse styled venue, high ceilings and nothing but open space, a perfect place for party activities. For Chris, this was a smorgasbord of single ladies to test out some of his best lines. For me, this was typical night to just catch up with some friends. The fourth floor party-depot included a big blue carpet, lots of flashes with some of the significant others crammed in a small area off to the side behind a black velvet curtain. I instantly spotted the N.J. Housewife husbands huddled up with the other guests and went over to say my hellos.

Radaronline is reporting that Jacqueline, Chris and Chris' brother, Joseph Laurita, are all being sued for mismanaging their formerly profitable company, Signature Apparel Company in New York City, for their own personal gain.

History repeated itself in more ways than most in tonight's The Real Housewives of New Jersey as Kim G.'s antics reminded people of last year's charity event with Danielle Staub and the Hells Angels debacle, while the entire Joey vs. Teresa fiasco is reminiscent of the Gorga kids' (Kathy, Joey, and Teresa) parents, which was revealed tonight by Kathy's mother. Seems like forgiveness doesn't flow as easily with the Gorgas as the blood that runs through their veins.
Kim G. Got Manzo'd!
I was waiting all week to see this smackdown take place and I am glad that the wait paid off in abundance. After Monica Chacon left, Kim G. didn't stop getting her Grinch on. She continued to go around the party telling people Teresa had Monica kicked out of the party and how wrong she felt. The funny thing was that she made sure to elaborate this...

Los Angeles, CA, United States (Ahn Entertainment) - "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice has been punched in the case after causing a scene while vacationing in the Dominican Republic in February. The table-flipping housewife was apparently the reason behind the bar brawl at the Hard Rock in Punta Cana.
According to RadarOnline.com, Teresa was with her husband Joe and her co-stars Caroline and husband Albert, Jacqueline and Chris Laurita, Kathy and Richy Wakile, Joey and Melissa Gorga, the Manzo kids - Chris, Albie, and Lauren - and roommate Gregory Bennett at the hotel bar on February 23 when the incident happened.
Teresa opened a champagne bottle and began spraying it everywhere, including on a woman on a nearby table.
The woman's husband wasn't too pleased with Teresa's playful antics, and physically attacked Joe's housewife.
