Dolores Catania Criticizes RHONJ Cast After Hiatus

Dolores Catania, a longtime cast member of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey,' has expressed frustration over the show's indefinite hiatus and the lack of communication from Bravo regarding its future. She revealed that the cast did not film last season, meaning there will be no new episodes airing in early 2025, and attributed the downfall to her co-stars' inability to resolve their conflicts. Despite her efforts to unite the cast, including consulting a therapist before the season finale, she felt defeated as tensions escalated during filming. The reunion was canceled, marking only the second time in the franchise's history that this has occurred. Catania criticized the behavior of her castmates, stating, 'they made a mess,' and noted that the dynamics have shifted significantly compared to other franchises. With whispers of a potential cast overhaul, she hopes for a return to form, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and unity among the cast members.
