Kim DePaola Describes RHONJ's Reaction to Reunion Cancellation

Bravo canceled The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 reunion, and Kim De Paola just revealed the cast’s reaction to the news. It turns out the actors may have been just as shocked as the audience.

When Bravo announced the reunion’s cancellation, viewers could only speculate as to why. Suspicious fans immediately pointed the finger at Teresa Giudice, whose feud with Melissa Gorga prompted season-long filming bans.

Granted, Tre isn’t the only problem with the RHONJ cast right now. But Bravo hasn’t given any official reason either way. And as far as Kim is concerned, the reunion cancellation is a bad sign for the stars.

Does RHONJ reunion cancellation signal a reboot?

On the June 17 episode of the Miss Understood Podcast, Rachel Uchitel and Kim discussed the RHONJ reunion cancellation. Kim suggested the cancellation was the cast being “punished” by Bravo. “They are losing a lot of money. Look, they were all expecting a check on June 27th.

She continued: “Producers are losing a ton – millions. Editors, producers, actors, makeup artists – everyone loses. So it must have been pretty bad for them to cancel it. By “it,” Kim meant the fights between the actors.

Later in the podcast, Kim revealed that “Every single one of the cast members – and I know all of them – were completely upset and shocked that they weren’t going to get a reunion.” They shot themselves in the foot. All. They played their cards. No one is bigger than Bravo.

Kim went on to say that the powers that be had “warned” the actors. Plus, she assumed the network would lay off several actors, potentially the entire cast. Of course, she explained, “It’s my intuition,” confirming that it was just speculation.

“When people like Andy Cohen and these producers lose that much money, I think they have a bad taste in their mouth.” Kim and Rachel further insinuated that the current cast is full of pending lawsuits, which Bravo wouldn’t want to be involved in.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey continues Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
