Season 14 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey will not have a traditional reunion special, People reported.

Bravo reportedly put the kibosh on Season 14 prematurely, leaving viewers wondering what's going to happen next for cast members Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral, Rachel Fuda, Jackie Goldschneider and Jenn Fessler.

"A reunion is meant to have resolution and it's clear in the season final that there is no path forward in that type of setting," a source close to the situation told the magazine.

"So the network is figuring out a different concept to wrap up the season."

There has been longstanding tension between cast members of The Real Housewives of New Jersey for years, especially between Teresa and Melissa, but Season 14 drama apparently escalated to a breaking point.

Teresa and Melissa reportedly didn't interact all season long until the series' explosive finale that was teased during the premiere episode.

Theresa is also at odds with Margaret, who alleged that Teresa's husband Luis Ruelas had called and threatened her son at his place of business. Teresa and Luis, however, denied the allegation.

Teresa and Luis, for their part, accused Margaret of concocting negative storylines with the help of Luis' ex, a claim which Margaret has denied.

Rachel has also had issues with Teresa and Luis. Rachel's husband John Fuda claimed the couple had been investigating Rachel and himself through their friend Bo Dietel.

During The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Season 14 premiere, People reported that Teresa had repeated accusations she had heard about John on the Internet, calling him "the biggest drug dealer in Bergen County." Teresa also reportedly said John was into "kinky sh-t" with sex toys.

"The damaging lies repeated about me are not rooted in reality," John told People of the rumors.

Since Jenn continued to associate with Teresa, Rachel reportedly ended her friendship with Jenn.

In a preview of what's to come on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa also accuses the Fudas of mortgage fraud and money laundering.

Jennifer And Danielle were also reportedly suspended from filming for several days in September 2023 because they had gotten into an "altercation" that became physical.

The only other time a reunion was canceled was for Season 13 of The Real Housewives of New York City. The network ultimately fired all of the Season 13 women and rebooted the series with a whole new cast for Season 14.

An insider told People that Bravo has yet to make a permanent decision about The Real Housewives of New Jersey or its casting going forward.

"Everything and anything is on the table," the insider told the magazine, adding how "all options are being discussed" and "nothing official about the show has been decided."

Back in late 2022, Teresa said she "would never step away" from The Real Housewives of New Jersey because she's the one who had "started the show."

Teresa told People at the time, "I'm never going to give that to anyone because I'm the one that started the show."

"Other people are trying to put that out there, like, 'Oh, Teresa wants to leave,'" she continued. "It's so crazy to me how people are trying to plant the seed that Teresa wants to leave the show... the games that people play."

Teresa has been a mainstay on The Real Housewives of New Jersey since the show premiered on Bravo back in 2009.

"I'm not walking away until Bravo wants me to walk away," the Season 31 Dancing with the Stars contestant added in December 2022.

When Teresa went to prison for 11 months in 2015, the show actually went on a production hiatus during her incarceration.

Teresa and her ex-husband Joe Giudice were sentenced to jail time in October 2014 after pleading guilty to 41 counts of financial fraud -- which included failure to pay taxes, hiding assets and submitting fake loan applications -- in March of that year.

After reaching a plea deal, Teresa was originally sentenced to 15 months in jail, while Joe got a whopping 41 months.

Teresa was released from prison at Danbury Federal Correctional Institution in Connecticut on December 23, 2015.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey currently airs Sundays nights at 8PM ET/PT on Bravo.
