'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' season 7 spoilers: Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga not invited to Jacqueline Laurita's birthday party

(Facebook/RHNJ)Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga are conspicuously absent from Jacqueline Laureti's birthday celebration.

"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" season 7 is still a month away from being aired, but reports of catfights and a major falling out among its stars have already trickled out.

The reality show is set to return in June, nearly two years after the season 6 finale. Stars Teresa Giudice, her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, and Jacqueline Laurita are all confirmed to return. They will be joined by new castmates Christina Flores and Robyn Levy.

It's an open secret that the series went on a hiatus of sorts while its breakout star, Teresa Giudice, served an 11-month prison sentence for fraud. However, the cameras started rolling after she was released from Danbury Correctional Facility.

Fans can expect to see Giudice's homecoming being featured on the show. It's also been reported that season 7 of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" will also follow Giudice as she strives to return to normalcy, reconnect with her family and friends, and deal with her husband's absence as Joe serves his 41-month sentence.

It would appear that Giudice and Gorga are on better terms this year. The 43-year-old Giudice and Gorga had famously butted heads over the years but reportedly reconciled over Christmas.

However, that doesn't seem to be the case with Laurita. It's been reported that a cast trip to Vermont ended with Laurita and another cast member heading home even though they were supposed to stay for several days. According to rumors, Laurita and Gorga got into a big fight, an incident that some say was exacerbated by the fact that the cast members were angry they couldn't go some place sunny because of Giudice's travel restrictions. Incidentally, the best-selling cookbook author wasn't involved in the drama and stayed low-key.

While that particular drama happened back in March, Laurita's recent birthday party had fans speculating that there's still tension among the New Jersey housewives. Radar Online reported that the reality star recently celebrated her 46th birthday at New Jersey's Fresco Italian Restaurant. While the reality star was photographed having fun with some of her friends and castmates, Giudice and Gorga were noticeably missing. The two were reportedly not invited and Laurita had not talked to either Giudice or Gorga since their trip to Vermont.

With the trio's troubles well-known and well documented, fans would undoubtedly be tuning in to season 7 to see all the details.

No specific premiere date has been set, but season 7 of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" is slated to be aired on Bravo in June.
