Josephs is questioning why Catania, who she believes contributes less, earns more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMargaret Josephs\u00a0has been a\u00a0part of\u00a0The Real Housewives of New Jersey\u00a0since Season 8.\u00a0Dolores Catania\u00a0has been on\u00a0the reality series\u00a0since Season 7. Despite Catania having a season on Josephs, it doesn’t mean that Josephs believes Catania contributes enough personal storyline to earn a higher salary than her.\u00a0David Yontef\u00a0talked about the pay riff on\u00a0The Real Housewives of New Jersey\u00a0on his\u00a0Behind the Velvet Rope Podcast\u00a0and explained why the show, specifically his former friend Josephs’ thoughts on pay discrepancies.<\/p>\n
He began by speaking on the ongoing division between sister-in-laws\u00a0Teresa Giudice\u00a0and\u00a0Melissa Gorga,\u00a0and how it can impact the show moving forward. According to the Bravo-crazed podcaster, if the ratings dip,\u00a0The Real Housewives of New Jersey\u00a0will be in the “surviving” category of Bravo shows and he says it’s due to\u00a0how expensive the series has become due to cast salaries.<\/p>\n
“New Jersey is really expensive at this point. You have Teresa probably at 2 (million) or 2.5. You have Melissa at1.5 close to 2. I’m not done.\u00a0Margaret Josephs has been there a long time, she’s probably at like 800,000. When I was friends with Margaret, Margaret used to tell me it disgusted her that Dolores made more than her<\/strong>.”<\/p>\nJosephs reportedly doesn’t believe Catania deserves a higher salary because her storyline isn’t too juicy. “‘[Margaret would say] Look at me, look at me on camera.\u00a0I contribute so much more than Dolores<\/strong>. How does she make more than me?’ Well, it’s favorite nations, girl. So as much as Margaret makes, Dolores girl, you ain’t riding so easy either. What are you contributing for your salary?” he said. “Dolores is so in the middle, literally in the middle of the picture, and will not take a side in a way, she’s what they want.”<\/p>\nHow ‘RHONJ’s’ Future of the Show Is Impacted<\/h2>\n <\/h2>\n Andy Cohen\u00a0<\/strong>admitted that he was nervous going into the season with the two main stars, whose drama has carried the show for 11 seasons, refused to speak to each other. With Giudice and Gorga vowing to never make amends,\u00a0he initially didn’t think the show could be sustainable<\/strong>. Ironically, he said he was proven wrong, at least for this upcoming season.<\/p>\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\u201c[I] want to clear something up or want to add to a comment that I made that has made some news this week,\u201d Andy began on the April 11 episode of SiriusXM\u2019s\u00a0Andy Cohen Live. \u201cI don\u2019t know when I said it, but apparently, I said it to Brice from Entertainment Tonight, and I don\u2019t know when. I haven\u2019t seen him since 2023’s\u00a0BravoCon, I don\u2019t think.\u00a0It isn\u2019t a sustainable universe to have kind of two camps on the show and I think you see that with [The Real Housewives of Potomac] this season and why a lot of viewers, including me, were frustrated with it, but I will say this: It somehow worked this season. We got through the season and it worked and it\u2019s interesting and as I think you see from the trailer, the season is not about Melissa versus Teresa and I think that\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
