‘The Real Housewives Of New Jersey’s Divided Cast Reunited (Sort Of) For Season 14 Finale Watch Party

The Real Housewives of New Jersey might not be getting a traditional reunion this year — but Bravo seems to have found a way to (sort of) bring the cast together to help conclude the long-running show’s fourteenth season.
Variety reports that the women came together to watch the Season 14 finale at Rails Steakhouse in Towaco, New Jersey on Monday (July 15). However, they were split into two groups who watched in two different rooms due to the irreparable divide between the cast — specifically sisters-in-law Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice , who have refused to interact with one another the entire season.
The watch party will be aired as a special on Sunday, Aug. 11, though it’s not clear whether it will be split into multiple parts, according to Variety.
Real Housewives executive producer Andy Cohen confirmed last month that for the first time in RHONJ history, there would not be a reunion, telling his Andy Cohen Live listeners that the decision will “make sense” once they see the season finale.
“When all of us producers saw the last cut of the finale, we all came to the decision separately and then we talked,” he said. “We all had the same thought, which is the finale is kind of the finale and the reunion all in one.”
Cohen added, “It’s in the great tradition of absolute shocking, dramatic Jersey finales and they have this final epic group encounter, which is like, it feels like the Last Supper and is just so Jersey. And it’s shocking and it’s dramatic and it’s amazing TV. I’m telling you, when you see it, I think that you’ll feel complete. I really do.”

The Bravo icon also said this week that the show will be getting a much-needed “rebrand” come Season 15. While we’re unsure what that means at this moment, Cohen told his listeners that he and the network are going to “figure something out.”
Giudice, for her part, has no plans to exit the series until Bravo gives her the boot.
“No, I’m not leaving,” she said on the July 9 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark . “I started the show. And when Bravo wants me to leave, that’s when I’ll leave.”
Gorga, however, acknowledged that “things have gotten really toxic” and there “needs to be changes” when it comes to the cast.
“There’s two of my cast members that have played really dirty behind the scenes and it’s coming out,” she recently told Entertainment Tonight . “It’s all coming out, because it always rises to the top, it always comes out in the laundry. It’s been years, so it’s all coming forward.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock .
