Teresa Giudice is addressing the speculation that The Real Housewives of New Jersey started filming season 15 without her.
“On that note, like, does a professor take the test?” Teresa, 53, quipped on the Wednesday, September 24, episode of “The Viall Files” podcast. “Also, if they were filming, a fan would have put photos out there. You know, when [The Real Housewives of] Beverly Hills starts filming, there’s always pictures out there. You see them out because it’s not like we just film in the house, like, we go out [and] we go to restaurants.”
After RHONJ season 14 ended in 2024, Bravo did not immediately confirm whether there would be new episodes nor which stars would return. Teresa and her sister-in-law, fellow Housewife Melissa Gorga, have been at odds for several years and said that they’d no longer film together as a result of the drama.
“We have to, kind of, let the past go and move forward,” Teresa said on Wednesday about where the reality TV show could go amid the family feud. “If you rehash anything, I don’t think you’re going to get anywhere.”

Teresa also remained open to the possibility of returning to RHONJ alongside Melissa, 46.
“Never say never,” she told podcast host Nick Viall. “I guess if it comes back, then we’ll see what happens. It’s been a long time now. You know the saying, ‘Time heals all wounds?’ That does happen in life.”
Teresa further addressed the chances that she won’t be asked back to RHONJ at all.
“If Bravo doesn’t want me, God’s rejection is God’s projection,” she said. “I would be fine with it because God’s rejection is God’s projection.”
According to Teresa, she had “heart to heart” conversations with daughter Gia, 24, about their evolving family dynamics and reality TV future while they filmed Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season 4.

“There were things that she said to me, and things that I promised her I would do,” Teresa said. “She wants me to let go of anger, and that is one of the things she said to me. I promised her I would, so you’ll see what plays out on Special Forces.”
Gia recently told Us Weekly that she got especially close to her mother during the Fox competition series. (In addition to Gia, Teresa and ex-husband Joe Giudice share daughters Gabriella, 20, Milania, 19, and Audriana, 16.)
“My mom and I spoke a lot about things that we probably have never spoken about, because you are just secluded from the outside world,” Gia exclusively told Us at the iHeart Radio Music Festival on Saturday, September 20. “It was just her and I, as well as the other castmates. I felt most comfortable with my mom, and we talked a lot about letting go, and this journey on Special Forces was so amazing to just let go of the anger and really worry about yourself and just really let go.”
Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season 4 premieres on Fox Thursday, September 25, at 9 p.m. ET.
