The Real Housewives of New Jersey viewers were introduced to Ashlee Holmes, Jacqueline Laurita's teenage daughter, during the very first season of the reality TV show. Ashlee was Jacqueline's daughter from her mom's first marriage to Las Vegas-based Matt Holmes.
Ashlee made an impression during her appearance on the reality TV show as a rebellious teen who always caused her mother and stepfather stress. She was a regular on the first five seasons of Rhonj before reappearing for Season 7.
Since leaving the show, she has found success and peace away from reality TV. Despite having a rocky few years as a lost teen, Ashlee has come out the other side. Although she would happily join the Bravo family again in any future iterations of Rhonj or any spin-offs, she has found peace as a single mother to her young son, Cameron.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is the first series in The Real Housewives franchise to follow cast members who are related to each other. The original cast included sisters Caroline and Dina Manzo and their sister-in-law, Jacqueline Laurita. At the time, the reality TV show also followed Teresa Giudice and her brother, Joe Gorga, depicting her tense relationship with her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga.
With the family dynamics came arguments that were far bigger than a reality television show. The fallout between the Manzo and Laurita families continues to this day, with the family split after a nasty home invasion led to Dina's ex-husband being arrested.

Even though Jacqueline Laurita of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is no longer on the show, the former housewife is speaking out against Melissa Gorga. Jacqueline left the franchise back in 2017 after a few personalities became too much for her. With her husband, Chris, Jacqueline then relocated to Las Vegas.
Jacqueline married into the Manzo family and first starred on the show with her two sisters-in-law, Caroline and Dina Manzo. Jacqueline was a fan favorite partly due to her outspoken daughter, Ashlee Holmes, who went up against Danielle Staub, and her friendship with fellow original housewife Teresa Giudice. For years, the two women were best friends, but after seven seasons, they had a massive falling out, leaving Jacqueline feeling betrayed. Since stepping back, the Rhonj star has been spending time with her children and making sure to give back.

Jacqueline Laurita will officially not be returning to The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Et can exclusively confirm.
Reports surfaced last month that Laurita -- one of the original cast members of the show -- would not be returning for the show’s eighth season. However, the 46-year-old had yet to confirm the news herself until now.
“Unfortunately, I will not be returning,” Laurita tells Et. “I think the feeling [from the network] is that I no longer have an authentic connection with two of the season’s cast members.”
Laurita is seemingly referring to original housewife Teresa Giudice and her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, whom she had an explosive argument with during the previous season.
