Dolores Catania Shoots Down ‘RHONJ’ Casting Rumors

Fans of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” are eager for news regarding season 15 of the show. This is especially the case as the show has been on an extended pause. Now, Dolores Catania is responding to recent rumors that the series is being cast around her, Melissa Gorga, and Margaret Josephs. This rumor also leaves Teresa Giudice out of the cast.

Catania was on the August 19 episode of the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast, and Teddi Mellencamp mentioned the casting rumors. She said, “I don’t think that’s to be true.” The RHONJ star then asked, “What does cast around mean?”

Dolores sounds to be caught up on her words and isn’t sure how to respond so defaults to the PR answer. I think I just feel that this is best case scenario for how RHONJ should go forward, with Margaret, Melissa, and Dolores, so I’m looking for any doubt in Dolores’ comment that the rumor is not true. 📸: Sherri 🎧: Two Ts in a Pod, August 20 #fyp #bravo #bravotv #peacock #rhonj

From there, Mellencamp explained, “That means that they’re gonna bring other people in and you guys are the three…” Catania chimed in, “Cannot confirm. No decisions. This is what they say, ‘No decisions have been made yet.'”


The Cast has Been Seemingly Dropping Hints

As fans know, nothing is official until Bravo makes a casting announcement about “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” However, while Catania is shooting down rumors, some of her castmates are adding fire to the flames. 

For instance, Josephs took to her Instagram account on August 10. She posted a photo of herself on the stairs with a picture of the Wicked Witch of the West in the background. In the image, the RHONJ star appears to be laughing as she wears an orange-colored hat and a brownish outfit. 

However, it was the caption of the post that caught everyone’s attention. She wrote, “Current mood. #thewitchisback” Now, this could be an innocent picture that references “The Wizard of Oz” and “Wicked,” but most fans take this as a subtle hint of her return to the hit Bravo show. 

Then there’s Joe Gorga, husband of Melissa. He was recently at a charity softball game when fans asked if they were returning to “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” He could then be seen and heard saying, “We’re back.” Despite this, there is no official confirmation about the cast from Bravo.


Catania Is joining ‘The Real Housewives of Rhode Island’

It has been basically confirmed that Catania will be a part of “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island.” However, the specifics of her involvement are not precise. Most believe that she will be a friend of the show or serve in some other limited capacity. 

Catania spoke to E! News about the new show. She said, “I think it’s amazing. I know some of the girls, and you are in for a treat. You think we’re Italian? They paint the streets with the Italian flag in Rhode Island. They’re feisty.”

When asked if fans could expect to see her on the series, she responded, “Stay tuned.”
