Has Bravo found a replacement for Teresa Giudice?

'Bravo Very Nervous' To Film 'RHONJ' Without Teresa Giudice, Pushes Back Production?

According to a new report, the wife of Tiki Barber, Traci Lynn, is said to be a frontrunner for the upcoming seventh season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

“They don’t know where it stands with Teresa doing the show or not doing the show or when she’s getting out,” an insider told Confidenti@l on Friday. “So they’re prepping for either way. Anyway, they need to shake up the cast — last season’s cast was terrible.”

Is Teresa Giudice 'Done' With 'RHONJ?'

Following The Real Housewives of New Jersey season six, Giudice and her husband, Joe, were sentenced for crimes of bank and wire fraud, which resulted in a 15-month prison term for Giudice, and 41 months behind bars for Joe. So, while the seventh season would have normally began filming by now, producers have been at odds regarding how to move forward with the series.

Confidenti@l's source claimed producers were told to lock down another anchor for the series, who would join Melissa Gorga in an attempt to regain the ratings The Real Housewives of New Jersey once captured.

Barber met his now wife when she was working as an intern at NBC. At the time, he was serving as an anchor on the Today show, and married to wife Ginny. Although Ginny was 8-months pregnant when they met, Barber left her and began dating Traci Lynn, whom he married in 2012.
