Richards talked a bit about how this must be hard on Melissa’s husband. “You are in a very tough spot… and I give you a lot of credit because I can imagine it’s gotta be extremely hard for you and your husband,” Richards said. “Family stuff, oh my god, that’s very difficult.” Gorga went on to talk about how their change in dynamic made for a different Season 14. “It’s definitely a rollercoaster, up and down,” Gorga said. “And we’re about to air again in the spring, sometime this spring.
