Dorinda Medley is weighing in on the return of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, questioning the show’s hiatus and reacting to recent casting updates.
After it was confirmed that Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga and Dolores Catania will return for Season 15, Medley shared her thoughts on her SiriusXM show.
“This is the same people they left with,” she said. “Why’d they go off air … all this to just come back with the same?”
She added, “People are very happy. We love our New Jersey, but I feel like, why didn’t they just keep them on all this time?”
Still, Dorinda praised the returning cast. “Teresa, Dolores, and Melissa. Wow, that’s amazing,” she said. “Those are three strong women.”
