Recently, an intriguing Instagram post has emerged, shedding light on the potential new faces joining the show. According to the user @realitydude_, the additional members of the season 15 lineup include sisters Xiomara Laracuente and Juliette Collazo, along with Natia Rufolo, Vanessa Barrera, and Deeba Patel.
In response to these claims, Reality Blurb took the initiative to consult with an insider to verify the authenticity of this information. This move comes amid a swirl of rumors involving other possible cast members for the upcoming season.
According to @realitydude_, the rest of the cast for season 15 is comprised of sisters Xiomara Laracuente and Juliette Collazo, Natia Rufolo, Vanessa Barrera, and Deeba Patel.
Reality Blurb reached out to an insider to confirm if this is true or not, as other alleged potential season 15 cast members had surfaced recently.
According to the source, “This is definitely the cast for next season.”
They did point out there are some concerns, though, explaining that these women “have no connection” with one another aside from the two that are sisters.
“It’s very much like when The Real Housewives of New York City did their rebrand,” they said. “No one has authentic connections.”
They also described the casting decision as being “very random.”
When looking into each of the new alleged cast members online, here’s what can be found:
- Xiomara is on Instagram and is followed by Teresa and Melissa. She is the founder of Xposure LLC, whose Instagram bio claims they do “Brand, Social & PR Strategy Consulting • Audits • Rebrands.”
- Juliette, Xiomara’s sister, is also on Instagram and followed by Teresa and Melissa. She is the founder of NJ Makeup School the Arist Makeup Academy and of AMA Weddings, which does bridal hair and makeup.
- Natia is on Instagram and is followed by Teresa, Melissa, and Dolores. She is the founder of INJX by Nat Aesthetics, a company that does cosmetic injectables. The company lists itself as being one of the “top 100 injectors in the USA” and a “top 1% thread provider.”
- Vanessa is on Instagram and is only followed by Melissa. She describes herself as a “New Yorker turned Jersey girl,” and offers followers a “glimpse of my fashion, lifestyle & mom life.”
- Deeba is on Instagram and is also only followed by Melissa. She claims to be “living” her “American dream” and describes her social media as documenting “fashion, lifestyle, dance, and momlife.” She also notes she came from Mumbai to the USA.
When Bravo announced the return of Teresa, Melissa, and Dolores on March 24, they did so via Instagram with the following caption: “Is BACK better? #RHONJ is on display as Teresa, Dolores, and Melissa begin filming season 15 soon!”
While no official date has emerged yet as to when filming will begin, it’s at least a promising sign for fans that Bravo is finally moving ahead with RHONJ. For some time, it was unknown what would happen to the show, as it had been on hiatus since 2024.
Since then, Teresa and Melissa – who were at each other’s throats for years – have made amends, and their family is finally in a good place. It will certainly be interesting to see how everything plays out and how the new women fit in once the cameras officially start rolling.
