“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Rachel Fuda cropped out Teresa Giudice from the Season 14 cast photo — and Melissa Gorga approves.
On Friday, Fuda took to social media to promote the upcoming season of the Bravo franchise by sharing her portrait, as well as the cast photo. However, she notably cut out Giudice, who was standing on the far right, from the pic.
“One month til we’re back 💃 Get excited! Season 14 of #RHONJ is right around the corner!” Fuda, 32 captioned the post.
Amid all the fan comments that pointed out the shady move, Gorga also shared her seal of approval with, “☠️ ✔️.”
Fuda, who joined the “RHONJ” cast in Season 13, has been team Melissa from the very beginning.
As fans may recall, Giudice has been feuding with her brother, Joe Gorga, and Melissa, for years. Their feud came to a fiery head during the Season 12 reunion, which led the couple to skip Giudice’s wedding to Luis “Louie” Ruelas.
Fuda previously appeared on Page Six’s “Reali-tea” podcast, where she revealed she felt she’d been “written off” by Giudice due to her friendship with the “Love Italian Style” author, 45.
“So, coming on the show as Melissa’s friend … I personally felt like I was immediately polarized — even without polarizing myself,” Fuda said in February 2023.
She continued, “Just put Melissa next to me and I’m, like, written off automatically, which sucks for me because I would have liked a fair chance to have gotten to know Teresa and maybe flourish our own friendship.”

And seemingly their friendship never flourished, according to the Season 14 trailer.
In the teaser for the upcoming season, Rachel and her husband, John Fuda, face off with Giudice calling her the “poster child for mortgage fraud.”
John even screamed at Guidice, 51, during a group gathering, “When I need money laundered, I’ll call ya!”
In 2014, Teresa and her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, pleaded guilty to bank, mail, wire, bankruptcy and tax fraud. Teresa served 11 months while Joe went to jail for 41 months before being deported to Italy in 2019.
Rachel and Teresa also have another confrontation in the trailer, which resulted in the former calling the latter a “f–king bully.”
Season 14 of “Real Housewives of New Jersey premieres May 5 on Bravo.
