<p id=”par-1_92″>Jacqueline Laurita walked away from <em>The Real Housewives of New Jersey</em> and the state of New Jersey entirely years ago. In the years since her departure, she’s popped up on podcasts here and there, and fans have kept up with the former Bravo star via social media. Still, they wanted more. There have been rumors that Laurita could return to the Bravo universe on<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/teresa-giudice-is-willing-to-stir-up-drama-in-miami-for-bravo.html/”> a different <em>Real Housewives </em>show</a> several times over the years. Those rumors have resurfaced again, but an insider insists a return to Bravo is a no-go for Laurita.</p>

<p id=”par-2_47″><em>The Real Housewives of Orange County</em> is down a couple of housewives. Bravo is reportedly on the hunt to fill the roles. While new faces are being considered, they are also open to bringing back old network favorites. They’ll need to look elsewhere than Jacqueline Laurita, though.</p>

<p id=”par-3_103″>In recent years, speculation has surfaced that Laurita could resurface on <em>The Real Housewives of Orange County. </em>The rumors make sense, given her move to the area a few years ago. While fans point to her Bravo history and her connection to some of the show’s stars, making her a natural fit, Laurita has not confirmed any plans to appear. Nothing has ever come of the rumors. Now, someone familiar with the situation is speaking out. An insider claims the mother of three has been approached multiple times about rejoining the Bravo family. She even got pretty close to accepting a role recently.</p>
<p id=”par-4_104″>An insider who spoke with <a href=”https://radaronline.com/p/jacquline-laurita-rhoc-fate-revealed-bravo/”>Radar Online</a> claims Jacqueline Laurita was deep in talks to join <em>The Real Housewives of Orange County</em> for season 20. She ultimately decided against returning to reality TV, though. The same insider told the publication that it is far from the first time Laurita has been offered a spot on another Bravo show, but it’s the only time she’s actually considered it. At the end of the day, the financial compensation simply was not enough to draw her back in front of the cameras. She did, however, pop up during a stop for <em>The Real Housewives Ultimate Road Trip</em></p>

<p id=”par-5_53″>Jacqueline Laurita was one of the original <em>The Real Housewives of New Jersey</em> cast members. Still, she never really “took” to reality TV life. Laurita found the filming and drama difficult. Over the years, she has said the process was stressful, since <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/former-rhonj-star-jacqueline-laurita-does-not-mince-words-when-asked-she-thinks-melissa-gorga-liar.html/”>the drama from the show</a> often bled into her real life.</p>

<p id=”par-6_116″>She appeared on the show’s first five seasons as a main housewife. She took a step back as a friend for season six. In season 7, she rejoined as a housewife before leaving the franchise entirely. A move helped her break her ties to the network. In 2019, Laurita and her husband, Chris, sold their New Jersey home and set down roots in Las Vegas. They stayed there for several years before <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/former-rhonj-star-jacqueline-laurita-doesnt-get-melissa-gorgas-purpose-on-the-show-plus-where-her-relationship-stands-with-teresa-giudice-today.html/”>moving to Orange County</a> in 2023. After landing in California, the rumors about her return to reality TV began to swirl. Now, it looks like something big will need to happen for her to seriously consider getting back in front of the cameras full-time.</p>
