Teresa Giudice NOT asked to leave ‘RHONJ’, no casting decision made yet

Teresa GiudiceThe future of ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ is up in the air…despite reports suggesting otherwise.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … there is absolutely no truth to the claim that Teresa has been asked to leave the Bravo hit.

The rumor gained steam this week, after castmate Frank Catania suggested that Tre’s time on the show had come to an end. But we’re told no casting decision has been made regarding season 15… let alone a decision has been made on whether or not Teresa will be brought back.

In fact, another source close to the show says production won’t focus on next season until early next year.

There has been a lot of speculation about the future of ‘RHONJ’ after season 14, wrapped in a tumultuous tone…we’re talking, of course, about the heated lunch where fists and insults were thrown.

Things had gotten so tense between the costars, including Teresa, Melissa Gorga, Dorothea Catania, Jennifer Aydin, Margaretha Jozefs, Danielle Cabral And Rachel Fuda — Bravo broke with the traditional reunion format and filmed separate sit-downs with the Housewives.

Bravo big shot Andy Cohen has since hinted that a casting shakeup is coming to New Jersey… much like what the network did last year with “The Real Housewives of New York.”

In fact, Andy told Extra on Thursday that there was “no progress with this group,” confirming that change is on the horizon.

He added… “Keep waiting. There’s no rush. We’re taking our time.’
