Jackie Goldschneider Jokes That She Turned Down ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ Because ‘The Vibes Were Off’ After Major Network Announcement

Jackie Goldschneider is all about the vibes; the ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ alum joked she turned down a spot on the season 15 roster because the “vibes were off.”

Season 14 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey was such a mess that Bravo put a pin in the series. Fans have been waiting for word on what will happen next with the ladies of Bergen County ever since. An official announcement has been made. Though we don’t have all the details just yet, we know a bit about who will be returning and who won’t be. Jackie Goldschneider won’t be returning; she just shot down speculation about her involvement in season 15 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Goldschneider joked that she was offered a full-time role, but turned it down because the “vibes were off.” She won’t be back.

Jackie Goldschneider won’t return for ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ season 15

Jackie Goldschnieder has no plans on returning to The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and she certainly won’t be taking on the role of a full-time housewife. Goldshneider took to Instagram to discuss the show’s future and whether she fits into it this week. In a sarcastic quip, the former Bravo star joked that the network called to offer her a full-time role, but she declined the offer because “the vibes were off.”

The statement was clearly a joke, but Goldschneider was serious when she announced she won’t be back. She noted that while it had been a long run, she was ready to move on to other ventures. She’s not mad about the time she spent on the show, though. In the latter half of her update, Goldschneider noted that a lot of good came out of her six-season run with Bravo. She noted it gave her a platform to do important work and allowed her the oppurtunity to show eating disorder recovery in real time.

Who is returning for the next season?

Bravo has been really slow to share updates about what is to come for season 15 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. That is changing now. This week, they offered a long-awaited update. In a shock announcement, the network shared that Dolores Catania, Melissa Gorga, and Teresa Giudice would return for the show’s 15th season.

The announcement followed Teresa Giudice’s reconciliation with her brother and sister-in-law. The move is highly suspicious to critics. Bravo has not yet announced any other cast members, which suggests fans can expect to see some new faces. If that’s the case, Jennifer Aydin,  Danielle Cabral, Rachel Fuda, and Margaret Josephs are on the outside looking in.

While Giudice and Gorga brought much of the drama, Aydin, Fuda, and Cabral brought plenty of trouble to season 14, too. Andy Cohen remained mostly tight-lipped through the hiatus. Still, he did make an exception during the break. He wanted to make it clear that Aydin would not be back. Her lack of involvement is unsurprising.

It is unclear when we’ll learn who will be filling the now-vacant roles.
