Just because Teresa Giudice is in prison, that doesn’t mean she’s done screwing things up for her sister-in-law/arch rival Melissa Gorga.
Sources say casting for The Real Housewives of New Jersey season seven is currently underway, and it’s not just Teresa that producers are looking to replace.
Melissa is reportedly soon to be fired, and it’s all because Teresa is locked up:
“Melissa’s storyline has always depended on Teresa,” one insider tells Radar Online. “Now that Teresa’s in prison [Melissa] is not sure what will happen to her.”
“The fights between the two families have always been major plot lines for the show, but without Teresa, what is Melissa going to do? Melissa is definitely concerned that she is on the chopping block.”
“She doesn’t want to be irrelevant and is not sure what will happen to her.”
Fans of RHONJ know that the conflicts between Melissa and Teresa have been central to the series in past seasons.
With Teresa gone, however, there are rumors that Bravo may be hoping to take the show in a different direction with an all-new cast.
“Melissa loves being a part of the show and she’s devastated for Teresa, Joe [Giudice] and the girls,” the source says. “But she feels like producers might only want her if Teresa is here.”
Melissa is unlikely to receive any sympathy from the Giudice family.
Insiders say Teresa ignored Melissa in the weeks before she headed to prison, and their feud has reportedly continued, despite Teresa’s incarceration.
