RHONJ: 10 Things To Know About Dolores Catania
Dolores Catania became a The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member in season 7 and viewers love that she does things her own way. Dolores is a truly loyal person and she has showed her various relationships on the reality show, from the love that she has for her friends, two children, ex-husband Frank, and now ex-boyfriend David.
After watching Dolores spend time with her co-stars (and sometimes get into dramatic arguments) for several seasons, fans want to know more, and there are a lot of interesting facts about Dolores, from her love life to her career history.
10 Dolores Has A New Partner Who Won’t Be In Season 12
For the past few seasons, Dolores has gotten a lot of questions about her now ex-boyfriend, David, a surgeon who she didn’t see all the time. At the end of season 11, everyone wanted to know why Dolores had seemingly moved on from wanting to marry David. Dolores left a party early as she was angry that her friends were talking about her instead of understanding her position and respecting her beliefs. This became one of the most dramatic Real Housewives arguments.
According to Us Weekly, Dolores is dating someone but they began dating once season 12 was done shooting, so he isn’t a part of season 12.
9 Dolores Was A Surgical Assistant
Whenever her friends asked why David couldn’t attend a party or gathering, Dolores talked about his schedule and how hard he works for his patients. In one season 11 scene, Melissa left Jackie’s birthday celebration early because her husband Joe had kidney stones, and David helped him out at the hospital.
It turns out that Dolores once worked in the medical field as well. Bravo TV reported that Dolores was a surgical assistant.
8 Dolores Was A Corrections Officer
When Dolores joined RHONJ, fans learned that she is a mom of two and when Frank was unfaithful, the couple got divorced. Viewers also saw her run a gym and get into real estate, but there are still some things to learn about this cast member’s employment history.
According to Cheat Sheet, Dolores said that she used to work as a corrections officer. Dolores explained, “then I got married and had kids. Frank said ‘you could stay home,’ and I was married to an attorney. He said, ‘stay home, or you can go back to work,’ so I stayed home.”
7 Dolores Is Happy Being Close Friends With Frank
RHONJ fans supported Dolores in some episodes and didn’t like how she fought in others. One thing that has remained the same throughout Dolores’s time on the show? Her heartwarming friendship with her ex-husband Frank.
In an interview with Edit Seven, Dolores talked about her relationship with Frank and said that she thinks that if they got back together, he would be a much better partner than he was the first time around. Dolores said that she’s happy being friends with him as she’s not interested in him romantically anymore: “you know, we don’t look at each other like that. Frank’s not my type anymore. Not that he’s not good looking, I think Frank’s gorgeous.”
6 Dolores Acted In A Short Film
RHONJ fans might not know that Dolores acted in a 34-minute short film called Breaking Points. According to North Jersey, she played a mom who was dealing with a loss.
Dolores explained that she has been acquainted with the filmmaker, Brad Forenza, for years, and she was happy to say yes when he asked her if she would be in the movie. Dolores said that being a housewife is “improv” and it sounds like it was exciting for her to act.
5 Dolores Starred On A Game Show
The best and most popular game shows make for some fun entertainment, and Dolores, Frank, their two children, and Dolores’s now ex-boyfriend David were on the same episode of Cash at Your Door, according to E! News.
Dolores said, “I never thought I would be on a game show…That was surreal to me.” Hosted by Jason Biggs, the show has contestants answer questions and attempt to win $25,000.
4 Dolores Wasn’t Upset When A Psychic Talked About David
In a season 11 episode of RHONJ, a psychic met with the cast members, and they said that David and Dolores weren’t soulmates.
While this would typically be upsetting to hear, Dolores said that it was fine as she knew that. According to Cheat Sheet, Dolores said, “There’s nothing that anyone can tell me in my life right now. I know how this play ends, I know what to expect, I’ve been around the block more than once.”
3 Dolores Makes A Good Living From RHONJ
Dolores has appeared on five seasons of RHONJ so far and fans would definitely love to see her continue. While all of the cast members in this city say what they want to say and stand up for themselves, Dolores is known for being even stronger than some of the previous housewives.
The Cinemaholic reported that Dolores has a net worth of $4 million and people say that she makes $30,000-$60,000 for each episode of the reality show.
2 Dolores Does A Lot For Charity
The Real Housewives moments that stick with fans are the big fights or the relationships that end (or seem on the verge of ending). But the show also sees each cast member through their ordinary, daily lives, and fans should know that Dolores does a lot for charity.
The Cinemaholic also reported that Dolores volunteers her time and money to charity, from shelters to Angels for Animals Network, St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital, and Maimonides Breast Center.
1 Dolores Thinks The Season 11 Fights Were Particularly “Emotional”
RHONJ fans have seen some very loud and intense fights over the years, some that were difficult to watch. After tuning into season 11, viewers know that everyone had tension with each other, not just Teresa and Jackie, although the rumors about Jackie’s husband Evan were one of the main sources of conflict.
In an interview with E! News, Dolores talked about the arguments that happened in season 11 of RHONJ. Before viewers got the chance to watch these episodes, Dolores said, “You’re going to see fights that you haven’t seen in years. Like visceral, visceral, emotional fights.”
