Jenn Fessler Confirms RHONJ is Casting & Shares Convo With Potential Newbie, Plus She Slams Costars for “Telling Her What to Do”

Jenn Fessler revealed her interaction with a potential newbie for Real Housewives of New Jersey, and she shared what she would change if she could go back to past seasons. The star also slammed certain co-stars for “telling me what to do.”​

On the latest season, Jenn’s friends Margaret Josephs and Rachel Fuda reprimanded her for having a pleasant interaction with Teresa Giudice, who was their enemy. Later on, Melissa Gorga also threw shade at Jenn over a similar situation. Although Jenn rarely clapped back, she once told Margaret, “I ain’t your soldier.”​

In an interview for SiriusXM‘s Page Six Radio, Jenn was asked if she’s heard rumblings about potential newbies for next season.​

“Some [castmates] know some of the women that have been called,” she said. “I went into a nail place recently … [and] some woman came up to me and said, ‘Just so you know, I’m interviewing. And there’s a bunch of us interviewing.’ And I was like, ‘Thank you for the information. And good luck to you.'”

“And so I know that they’re definitely casting,” she continued. “[I don’t know] what it’s going to look like … Everybody has their own sort of theories.”

Jenn was then asked if the woman who approached her was “giving Real Housewife.”

“She seemed really nice — so no,” Jenn answered. “Well, she was very nice to me … She probably left and [was] like, ‘I just met that ugly b**ch.'”

As for what she would do differently if she could go back, Jenn shared, “I actually kissed a little too much a**.”

“I was always honest and doing the best I could in the moment … [but] if I did it today, I would eat a little bit less s**t,” said Jenn. She then specifically mentioned the scene where she told Margaret she’s not her soldier.

“[And] as the season went on and I continued to get more s**t [when] all I was doing was defending my friends … [I] would say, ‘Listen, so here’s the alternative. You could f**k off or not … But here’s what I’m not going to do. I’m not going to do what you want to make you feel better. I’m going to do what makes me feel good as a human being, interacting with other human beings.'

“Stop telling me what to do.”
