As is common across the housewives franchises, ladies are often introduced as a friend of a housewife when in reality they do not know each other . The newest rumored NJ housewife, who has been on reality television previously, is not friends with the OG. They are getting to know each other and the newbie is prepared to do whatever it takes to be the OG’s ally as being cast on the show has been a dream of hers for years. It will depend on what she brings, another cast member was reportedly demoted BUT that could change during filming if she brings some heat and the newbie’s role could be minimized or scrapped altogether. Allegedly.
