Jen Fessler loved giving her “more say” on Season 14 of RHONJ
Jane Fessler It rocks its second season. She’s finding her voice, and she’s determined to hang out with Teresa Giudice no matter what Margaret Josephs, Melissa Gorga, and Rachel Voda think.
Yes, Jane breaks rank. She’s enjoying giving her “more opinion” this season, even though it makes her some enemies.
Jen admitted that she “sucked more” this season
“Season 14 was not the easy, fun, funny, silly season that Season 13 seemed to be,” Jen told The Daily Beast as he reflected on the cast dynamic. “Season one, I didn’t really have to get involved in the craziness, and I definitely got caught up in my second season.”
“But I also think it’s nice to be able to give my opinion more, and comment on it,” she admitted.
Jane got caught up in the drama between Teresa and Vodas. RHONJ veteran brought up John Fuda’s past in an ill-advised confrontation. After some thought, the mother of four retracted, saying she didn’t mean in the present tense.
“I certainly didn’t expect her to have such a severe reaction to that conversation. Having said that, I didn’t think Rachel would like it.” I was thrilled when she got Teresa to say that John Voda wasn’t a drug dealer. John Fuda was a child when he did those stupid things and got himself into trouble in such a sad way. But this is old news. This is child behaviour. And now he’s this great father, this great husband, this great businessman. For me, I thought it would be a victory, but not much.
Indeed, John withdrew from a conversation between him and Teresa after the latter did not apologize as he wished. It emerged that the businessman also had harsh words for Jane, accusing her of being a “social climber”. Jane was “baffled” by this statement.
“First of all, I’ve said this in other interviews, but there’s no one below me. There’s no one above me,” she explained. “And that applies to all of us. So there is no way to climb by making friends with anyone. That’s what I learned in therapy.”
Jane ponders who could be “on the chopping block” next season
Jenn became a fan favorite early in the season. She reflected on how viewers made RHONJ such a hit.
“I think it’s a situation where viewers love the women of Jersey so much, and they become so attached to the women and their lives that they take it personally when things don’t go well,” she said. “I understand that it affects people because as a viewer, I think about these things on a Monday morning too, right? I went into my office, and this was the thing that was on my mind. Forget work.” This is what happened the night before with Teresa or Melissa Or whatever.”
This was the thing that kept Jane awake at night. Her longevity on the show. The reality TV star hopes to return for next season but has no confirmation at the moment.
“I’m trying to figure it out, like everyone else, all the time. What’s going to happen? Who’s on the chopping block?” she declared. “And it wakes me up in the middle of the night. Not in fear of that waking me up [way]”, but more like, “Okay, in this scenario, if Teresa stays, let’s say Danielle and Jane stay, what happens then?” And if Melissa and Marge stay…” That’s on my mind a lot, and I’m trying to piece the puzzle together. But I don’t know what will happen.”
