- She said the show’s tone no longer fit her and noted she remains close to Melissa Gorga and Dolores Catania while not considering some other cast members friends.
- Josephs recounted test filming with prospective cast members in August and said a newcomer tried to broker a reconciliation with Teresa Giudice, which she declined despite being told Teresa was open to it.
- She took aim at Jackie Goldschneider by claiming Jackie will not return, a statement not confirmed by Bravo.
- Bravo has confirmed Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, and Dolores Catania as the returning core for season 15, and entertainment reports say filming is slated for spring as Josephs pursues another TV project she expects to air soon.
