Teresa Giudice is teasing the upcoming 15th season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

While appearing on a podcast last week, Teresa, 52, offered an update on the new episodes, shared her thoughts on returning and “new blood” on the cast, and revealed if her daughters are still in touch with their Gorga cousins while also shading Joe, 50, and Melissa Gorga, 45, confirming which castmates she’s in touch with, and more.

“I heard it’s coming soon,” Teresa revealed on the February 6 episode of Bonded by Bravo. “They have to let you know, like with the status, like with the whole employment thing … I’m gonna go back. I started it so I feel like, you know, there’s still a lot in me.”

As for who she would like to take with her, Teresa said that, ideally, only half of the season 14 cast would return.

“I would take half of that crew … [because] there’s a lot of them that don’t give anything. If it wasn’t for me, they wouldn’t be giving anything,” she explained. “I feel like they should stick some of the old, and bring in some of the new.”

“Even if we’re not friends with them, let’s build the friendship on camera. I love that. That’s something that I would be interested in. I like new blood, and I like making new friendships. I’m a girls girl so I would like to build a friendship and see where it goes from there,” she continued.

Moving on to her daughters’ relationships with their cousins, Teresa revealed they are no longer speaking.

“And it’s not my kids’ doing,” she stated. “But it’s okay. Maybe down the line, they will. It’s all good. My kids have, there’s 11 girls on [Joe Giudice]’s side … So they have a lot of cousins. I’m glad they have that.”

As she looked back on her younger years at the Jersey Shore, Teresa admitted that times have changed, saying that she now prefers “preppy” over “guido” before taking aim at her brother while advising the podcast host to check out an old pic of her.

“It’s a picture of me and my brother, but you can cut my brother out. You really could,” she noted. “It’s me with a leopard bathing suit. And that’s at the surf club. Back in the day, the girls would wear heels with their bathing suits … [And] I’m very tan.”

After dissing Joe, Teresa took aim at Melissa, stating that she’s lied many times about how she joined the show.

“My story’s never changed. It’s always been the same … The other one … Her story does not stay the same. It changes,” Teresa revealed. “She admitted that she was talking to Danielle Staub behind my back … She was talking to Danielle, and she told Danielle that I didn’t go see my nephew in the hospital and I did … She also admitted she came on my show behind my back. I thought it was never put out there, but she did admit [at a reunion] that she did that. And [my cousin Kathy Wakile], they both did … and they did admit that they did come on the show behind my back because they wanted the opportunity.”

“That’s fine if you want the opportunity, but you should tell your family. And that’s what was evil about it,” she continued.

Also on the episode, after confirming she’s only in touch with Dolores Catania, 54, Jennifer Aydin, 47, and Jackie Goldschneider, 48, because the rest of the cast “lied,” Teresa revealed how the Giudice family feels about Luis Ruelas, 50.

“They love Luis. They’ve met Luis,” she shared. “He stepped in and takes care of my daughter like they’re his own, and I like that Joe’s family sees that. I do it all on my own [because] Joe doesn’t really help. He doesn’t. He’s in the Bahamas.”

“Luis [is] amazing, and see, that’s what America didn’t get to see, that part of Louie because, unfortunately, I had my brother and his wife, and [Margaret Josephs], trying to make my husband like he was a bad guy,” she added.
