RHONJ star Kim DePaola makes shock claim that the future of show is ‘not looking good’
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Kim DePaola has spoken out about the future of the show after Jennifer Aydin was criticized for “lying” about the decisions that were made.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Kim, 63, also known as ‘Kim D’, claimed that ‘not one person has been contacted’ about season 15.
“I can tell you this, but I know this for a fact: They’re all sweating. Every one of them is upset now. They all feel the pain,” she said.
The Housewives alum has been in touch with Teresa Giudice, 52, who she recently rekindled her friendship with, Aydin, 47, and has also remained close to Dolores Catania, 53, over the years.
The other ladies from season 14 — who reportedly still don’t know if they’ll be asked back — are Melissa Gorga, 45, Rachel Fuda, 33, Margaret Josephs, 57, and Danielle Cabral, 39.

“It doesn’t look good,” Kim, 63, added, theorizing that the cast members “might regret” how they behaved last season.
Bravo has not yet made any announcements for the upcoming season. DailyMail.com reported in August that the show was “on ice” and that “filming is unlikely to resume until 2025.”
Kim D, who has appeared as a friend of the Housewives in recent seasons, believes Bravo will plan a reboot for RHONJ but has a “plan B” if they can’t find the right cast.
“It’s much easier to cast in New York City than in New Jersey. They can’t find the right people in Jersey.
“If that happens, I believe Teresa will come back… We’re going to see two different things. It’s either going to be a complete reboot, or you’ll see Teresa come back. “I see Dolores coming back, and then we’ll see,” she revealed.
“But plan A would be a restart, and plan B would be because they can’t find the right people. Jersey is very difficult to infiltrate.”
When asked if she thinks Melissa Gorga will film with Teresa again, Kim quickly replied, “That’s not going to happen.” Andy Cohen will not do this again.”
She also believes that Danielle Cabral should “100 percent never come back” after the star got into a physical altercation with Aydin last season and hit her in the face during filming.

On Wednesday, Housewives executive producer Andy Cohen addressed Aydin’s comments, confirming that she would return with Teresa and Dolores.
“We haven’t made a decision about The Real Housewives [of New Jersey]he told his co-host on the Andy Cohen Live SiriusXM radio show.
“We’ve done absolutely nothing, well, actually we’ve done enough. But that’s not – no. I’m waiting until I get a… I wish her the best. Wait for Bravo to say something.”
Meanwhile, Kim, who spoke to DailyMail.com at her latest Posche by Kim D Fashion Show on October 16 at Bottagra Restaurant, defended her friend, saying: ‘I think people are so mean and so sarcastic that I think they just said on a whim, like screw it up, we’ll be back, that kind of thing. I don’t think she thought it would grow these wings and fly like it did.”
The entrepreneur plans to have Jennifer back on her Patreon podcast, Get Real With Kim D, sometime in November, along with Teresa and Dolores.
She may even be seen with Giudice in the future if Bravo decides to go for ‘plan B’.

‘I am not blackened. I mean, if there’s a chance with Teresa, I’m sure I’d be seen with her… because Teresa and I have become real friends. We’re back where we were. We are in that place,” she spilled.
The two friends rekindled their friendship in February and have been in touch “at least twice a week” since then.
‘One hundred percent sincere friendship. When I interviewed her, I said, “Out of all your friends, what was the best advice you ever received?” She says, “you give me the best advice”…I almost fell off my chair, but it’s true because I tell her the truth.”
Kim D continued, “I just want everyone to know that I’m just really content with my life. I’m really happy. This is like a new chapter in my life. I’m older now. I’m more comfortable with my home and my animals, and I never thought I’d love anything as much as walking in there [podcast] studio.
“I’ve been doing fashion shows for 15 years, selling clothes, owning two boutiques, three boutiques actually, and I woke up one day about a month ago and thought, you know what? I don’t feel this anymore.’
Her focus now is on her Patreon, booking upcoming performances where she can still see her fans in person, and promoting her new memoir, My Life With The Big Boys, which is available on Amazon. Signed copies are also available on her website.
