RHONJ Season 14 Teases a Dinner That's More Dramatic Than Teresa's Table-Flip One
Drama is on the menu at a glass-shattering dinner with The Real Housewives of New Jersey ladies.
Get ready for a dinner unlike any other in Season 14 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Broken glass and hurled insults are at the center of what Dolores Catania calls a “horrible” sit-down-turned-showdown with the Garden State ladies, as seen in a teaser of what’s to come this season. Divisions are greater than ever, and loyalties will be tested like never before, coming to a head in a chaotic dinner table scene as dramatic as Teresa Giudice’s now-infamous Season 1 table flip.
“How did it ever come to this?” a producer asks as someone sweeps glass from the floor of a steakhouse.
Are Teresa and Jennifer Aydin still friends?
Fractures among family and friends were formed in Season 13, and the ripple effects will be felt in Season 14. Rifts will be abundant in the upcoming season, even between close allies Teresa and Jennifer Aydin.
“I ride or die for you,” Jennifer tells Teresa during a tense one-on-one.
“I ride or die for you, too,” the mother of four insists.
However, Jennifer says she doesn’t feel the love.
Her allegiance to Teresa may be faltering after “becoming friends” with Teresa’s love-and-hate sister-in-law and Envy boutique owner, Melissa Gorga, as Jennifer Fessler brings up during a meeting with Jennifer Aydin. A flashback even shows Melissa laughing and getting buddy-buddy with Teresa’s so-called “ride or die.”
Teresa and Jennifer Aydin, however, look united as ever when trying to get Jackie Goldschneider over to their side in the ongoing Team Teresa-Team Melissa drama.

“You need the support of your friends right now,” Jennifer Aydin tells Jackie.
“We’ll show you what real friends are like,” Teresa adds.
The potential switcheroo came at a precarious time after Melissa admitted earlier in 2024 that she and Jackie “drifted apart a little bit.” She told Access Hollywood while at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards, “Jackie and I aren’t completely not speaking, but we’re definitely not where we were,” which could be the case, if the new RHONJ teaser is any indication.
What to expect on RHONJ Season 14
Jennifer Fessler appears again in the teaser during a face-to-face confrontation with Melissa. Here, Melissa questions her about her motives.
“I heard you saying one thing and then saw you doing a different thing,” Melissa says.
Things also seem to be up in the air for Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda, the former even accusing Rachel of attempting to “create a divide” following rumors about Margaret Josephs by Teresa.
“I would stay 10 feet away from anybody that would ever hurt you,” Danielle tells Rachel in the preview.
“That just changed everything for me,” Rachel responds.
Long-time friends Margaret and Dolores were previously reported to be on good terms, despite Margaret being the one to spill that Dolores’ beau, Paul “Paulie” Connell, was still legally married to his estranged wife in Season 13. However, based on the recent teaser, the women’s years-long friendship is put to the test, especially after an emotional Dolores calls Margaret “a lying c-nt.”
“That’s enough,” Margaret demands as she puts her hand in the air.
The new Season 14 preview also teases hand-over-fist confrontations as the women sit down for a dinner reminiscent of Teresa’s Season 1 debacle. This time, Rachel points her finger and screams at Teresa, “Keep my husband’s name out of your [expletive] hot dog-lipped mouth.”
Some Housewives jump to their feet to the sound of crashing glass.
“They learn from the best, white trash,” Melissa yells in another clip from the dinner.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Aydin refers to someone being “unhinged” as another calls someone else “disgusting.”
The teaser closes in as more shots are fired and drama overlaps. Margaret asks another, “Do you know how f-cking stupid you are?” while Jackie tells a castmate to “shut the f-ck up.”
It looks like the blowup prompts either production or security to step in, and one man even attempts to escort Danielle away as she calls someone a “sick animal.”
But, to repeat the producer’s question, how did it ever come to this?
Find out in an all-new season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, premiering Sunday, May 5, 2024, at 8/7c on Bravo and streaming the next day on Peacock.
