'Real Housewives Of New Jersey' Cast: Why Jacqueline Laurita Refuses To Film With Her Co-stars [VIDEO]
Jacqueline Laurita just returned to Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New Jersey and she’s already pulling out all the stops when it comes to the drama.
Apparently she has officially refused to film on the show. The news comes just after she was MIA during her co-star and alleged arch nemesis Melissa Gorga’s fashion show. The rest of the cast made their appearances to film the finale, but Laurita was nowhere in sight, In Touch Weekly reported Thursday. Word is this is one of many instances in which Laurita does not want to tape for the series and producers are reportedly livid about it.
One source said they were “absolutely furious Jacqueline refused to show up for the fashion show because it was mandatory that everyone be there. Jacqueline didn’t let anyone know she wasn’t coming until the last possible minute.”
As for the reason she had for being a no-show, Laurita didn’t have one.
“There was absolutely no reason why she shouldn’t have been there.”
Still, despite her plan, there is still a few days left for her to film as they don’t wrap this season until Monday. Plus they still have to tape the reunion special.
“Jacqueline is playing hardball, but is being told by Bravo lawyers she has to do this. It’s in her contract.”
Her fellow cast members aren’t really happy about her latest antics either.
“[They’re] just over all of the drama with Jacqueline. It’s so unprofessional of Jacqueline to just bail on required commitments. No one else does that but Jacqueline. Jacqueline is going to be facing off with some very angry ladies.”
But it might be safe to say Laurita’s rumored drama with her co-stars could be why she’s not feeling the cameras. Their recent trip to Vermont was “explosive, and viewers are going to be stunned at what went down. It wasn’t as shocking as Teresa flipping the table, but ranks up there as very, very memorable.”
Apparently the drama brought a little excitement for the season that was “rather slow and boring” at the beginning.
