Luann De Lesseps Says Bravo Should Add to 'RHONJ' Cast Instead of Total Reboot, Addresses Bethenny Frankel Feud


Luann De Lesseps has advice for Bravo's "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" reboot ... rip the cast apart at your own peril!



Speaking with TMZ, the 59-year-old former RHONY personality suggested the network mix new cast members with the old.


'The newbies and the OGs — that's what he should do,' she stated in reference to executive producer Andy Cohen.


'Insteading wiping out the entire cast, he should just meld some new people in,' the singer reiterated.


Luanna also addressed her feud with former co-star Bethenny Frankel, 53.


When asked who in the RHONJ cast should stay and who should go, she playfully answered, 'I've got cabaret shows to do. I can't do everything!'


On a more serious note, she said, 'I think the main cast has been so good, so I plead the fifth.'


A reporter with TMZ asked if she would ever return to the New York franchise, to which the songstress replied, 'I don't think so. I think I'd do Ultimate Girls Trip for sure.'


'Well, you know, you never know,' she later teased.


In the meantime, Luann said she loves her life and touring, adding that she's looking forward to filming her upcoming dating show Love Hotel in September.


On the status of her relationship with Skinnygirl Margarita founder Bethenny, de Lesseps shared that she doesn't know why the star still has her blocked on social media.


'Things are good between us, we made our peace, and then I said, "Wait a second — not so fast with the peace," because of her blocking me on social media.


'If we made peace then why are you blocking me on social media?'



Luann's upcoming Real Housewives dating spinoff will also star Shannon Beador, Gizelle Bryant, and Ashley Darby.


The series will welcome a wide variety of suitors to compete for the reality stars' affections.


All four women will have to choose between a variety of men on Love Hotel, which will stream on Peacock.


It will be filmed in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and is projected to be available on the streaming platform in 2025.


I actually agree with Luann that they need to add new girls to the cast, because I think the franchise did a good job casting Rachel Fuda, Jen Fessler and Danielle Cabral. The new ladies hold their own against the OG's, which is good.


I do think it may be time to get rid of some of the OG's like Teresa Giudice, Jennifer Aydin and Melissa Gorga, but moreso Teresa and Jen since the word on the Jersey streets is that Teresa and Jen work with bots, and bloggers such as Reality Blurb to push certain narratives against cast members they don't get along with that they feel production protects.


So if the OG cast mates want to act like they are the ones running the show over at Bravo, maybe it's time the network show some of these cocky ladies who's really running the show.
