With the future of The Real Housewives of New Jersey in question, the cast is acting unbothered as they live their lives.
With Melissa Gorga and Margaret Josephs attending the US Open, they appeared in a promotional video for Page Six on Instagram for a tennis-themed game.
As the two played a game, fans took to the comments section to air their thoughts on the current state of RHONJ.
As Monsters and Critics has exhaustively reported in recent months, fans have continually shared their thoughts with the cast members on social media.
Sometimes, they’re positive, but the recurring theme with RHONJ is that the fans are pretty negative about the cast and how they’ve affected the show.
With the show’s future at stake, there is a lot of vitriol.
“Are you two fired yet, how long until we get the best news ever,” said one fan.

There’s a genuine possibility that everyone from the current cast will be fired to make way for a reboot.
RHONJ tanked this season
The show pretty much combusted in the ratings this season, so Bravo is aware that changes are necessary if they want RHONJ to have any form of longevity.

“Homewrecking Marge and snoozefest Melissa ruined housewives,” another critic doubled down.
The issue with RHONJ isn’t related to one or two cast members.
It’s a widespread issue that has only worsened as Bravo has not done a casting shakeup in years.

“Who ruined the show? The both did,” another critic complained.
“The early seasons without these two yentas were the best.”
“Don’t like my answer? Go argue with the wall,” the fan warned.
With changes on the way for RHONJ, it’s still hard to tell which direction Bravo will go to repair the show.

However, another fan feels Melissa and Margaret’s “jealousy” is to blame.

Another fan said it was “both their faults for destroying the show.”

We shouldn’t expect any official announcements about RHONJ until next year because Bravo has a healthy slate of unscripted hits to take us through the year’s final months.
Plus, it’s a good idea to keep the show on pause for as long as possible to give fans a chance to move on from the drama.
