The Wakiles first joinedRHONJback in season 3. Kathy and O.G. Jersey HousewifeTeresa Giudiceare cousins.
Kathy remained on the show as a full-time Housewife through season 5, and returned in season 6 and 7 as a guest.
Sadly, though she and Giudice are family, they are estranged.
In a season 7 episode back in 2016, Teresa met with Kathy and Kathy’s sister Rosie Pierri, where she closed the book on their relationship for good —telling them that she wanted to “cut the cancer out.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to be a family, you guys are always going to be my family. We have the same blood,” Giudice told them. “I just want to be left alone.”
