Kathy Wakile Almost Didn't Return For Season 5 of "Real Housewives of New Jersey"

Wetpaint.com:

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Kathy Wakile will be back for Season 5 of the Bravo reality TV show and the down-to-earth entrepreneur will once again join the madness and mayhem that only her castmates can provide. In a recent interview with Out IN Jersey Kathy gabs on Season 5 of the hit show starting out in the wake of a natural disaster and throwing the ladies for a loop. 

“I was definitely happy to see the page turn for some things,” Kathy says about the upcoming season of RHoNJ. “The season opens with Hurricane Sandy, and it was definitely tough. We signed up for this though; it's our lives, it's our families, and you need to document both the good and the bad. With Sandy, it's the same things as rebuilding our families; we needed to rebuild and to get it to the splendor that it once was. you have to do the work. We put in a lot of work & it definitely wasn't easy. Repairs of any kind, done on or off camera, need to be done.”

Kathy also addresses how “friends of the housewives” Kim D., Jennifer Dalton and Penny Drossos added a little flavor to the Jersey cast. 

“I think having some new ladies definitely helped freshen things up a bit, it definitely helped. For me, it's fun to interact with new people, and I didn't really have any problems with them.”

Having new ladies freshened it up all right. As you know, Penny Drossos is the wife to John “Johnny the Greek” Karagiorgios — the same “Johnny the Greek” that was involved in the epic “Jersey brawl” this past March with RHoNJ’s Jacqueline and Chris Laurita and Joe Gorga. As you can imagine, we can’t wait to see how things go down. 

Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 5 premieres Sunday June 2 at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
