Margaret Josephs has opened up about the Real Housewives of New Jersey casting speculations, indicating that the future is still quite uncertain. However, she did emphasize she would avoid putting herself in a “risky situation” with anyone from Teresa Giudice‘s family.

Earlier this year, a reconciliation took place between Teresa and her brother, Joe Gorga, along with his wife, Melissa Gorga. Following this, rumors emerged suggesting that Teresa, Melissa, and Dolores Catania are expected to return for the next season, while Margaret might be leaving the show.

Around the same period, a peculiar video surfaced showing Teresa’s husband, Luis Ruelas, wearing a hoodie and hurling offensive remarks at the camera. Luis later clarified that the video was generated using AI technology.

Margaret delved into these casting rumors during an appearance on Ana Quincoces and Ace Fanning‘s Reality Court podcast.

“I’ll put it this way … there’s been no phone calls from Bravo. They have not solidified the cast,” said Margaret, via @realhousewivesofwestchester on Instagram. “There’s a lot of rumors out there. Nothing has been solidified. I think it could go in any direction.”

“I cannot put myself in a dangerous situation, I will say that,” she continued. “And I do not feel comfortable being around certain people — and I’m not talking about Teresa, but I am talking about certain people that she’s related to.”

Margaret also spoke to Teresa and Joe’s reconciliation.

“They [have] made up. They’re family members,” said Margaret, via @therealhousewiveszone on Instagram. “And I think that they came to a resolution that, you know, they wanted to make up. I don’t even know what else to say. I guess that’s what it was, I think.”

“Do you think there’s any motivation behind making up other than just family?” asked Ace.

“I think the timing was interesting,” Margaret answered. “It was fortuitous and serendipitous. But, you know what, Joe and Teresa are a brother and sister … I’m sure they only have each other. So I’m sure they did miss each other.”

Later on, Margaret addressed Teresa’s marriage to Luis.

“I think she wants to make her husband happy. I think it’s probably easier on her — that’s my opinion. I think, you know, she’s a team player for her family. And I think it makes life a lot easier if everybody gets along,” said Margaret. “She’s a very, very good wife.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is still on hiatus.
