The Real Housewives of New Jersey ladies are starting just one month ahead of the season 14 premiere.
On Friday, Bravo released the official RHONJ cast photo for the new season, and shortly after, Rachel Fuda took to her Instagram page to throw some major shade at her costar Teresa Giudice.
In her post, Rachel shared a solo shot of herself from the new season cast pictures, and then shared a photo of the cast with Teresa cropped out. The photo Rachel shared is below.
Teresa’s nemesis and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga then had her own shady reaction to Rachel’s post, writing the following emojis: “☠️ ✔️.”
It is to be noted that Melissa posted the correct version of the cast pic with Teresa on her Instagram page with the caption, “A House Divided. #RHONJ MAY 5th. #becarefulwhatyouwishfor.”
In the comments section of Rachel’s post, fans had mixed reactions with some defending Teresa.
“Cutting Tre out when shes the whole reason NJ has lasted this long LOL. You need to humble yourself and not bite the hand that feeds you,” wrote one fan.
Another added, “Cropping out the only storyline any of you have is insane. Get well soon.”
Other fans, however, loved Rachel’s shade and praised her for it.
“Rachel is coming in 🔥! Hollerying lol,” wrote one viewer.
“NOT THE CROP 💀💀💀,” commented another person.
During an interview with Entertainment Weekly last year, Melissa addressed her feud with Teresa amid rumors that she and Teresa had not been in the same room with each other since the RHONJ season 13 reunion.
“We have been in the same room together. I don’t know who is saying that we haven’t. We both have zero desire to communicate, and I think it’s better that way. Like boundaries,” she shared.
As for Rachel, it seems Teresa and her husband, John Fuda, got into a major feud in the upcoming season as the RHONJ season 14 trailer showed Teresa and John having a screaming match with John.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 premieres on Sunday, May 5, at 8/7c on Bravo.
