Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Jackie Goldschneider joked that she was asked to return in a full-time role before saying she was not coming back to Bravo‘s hit show.
It’s not goodbye, according to Jackie:
Looking back on her years as a reality tv personality, Jackie reflected, “It’s been a really long, beautiful run. Six seasons over eight years. I am so grateful. I had a lot of fun and it left me with this big, beautiful platform to do really work with and other projects with.”
“Also, most importantly, it showed my eating disorder recovery in real time on national television. For that, I will be forever grateful.”
Regarding Jackie and her former co-stars who weren’t invited to rejoin the RHONJ cast for season 15, Jackie believes the ladies will find their way. “I’m not worried for any of us. I know that there are tons of other shows out there.”
“I’ve been getting calls from casting agents. I have a bunch of other projects lined up, so stay tuned for that.”
A lesson learned:
“I will say this. My last two years on the show were very dark. The show got very dark, no one can deny that. My last season on the show, there was a concerted effort some people on the cast to ice out other cast members. That whole thing ended up backfiring spectacularly. So, the moral of the story, kids, is play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”
… another lesson Jackie learned was not to use analogies if your audience is Teresa Giudice.
Returning to RHONJ are …
According to the network’s official Instagram page, the three ladies from the season 14 will begin filming again!
“Is BACK better? RHONJ is on display as Teresa, Dolores [Catania], and Melissa [Gorga] begin filming Season 15 soon!”
