Shock: Dolores Catania Suffers Heart Attack and Is Currently in Emergency Care…
In a shocking and deeply unsettling turn of events, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania has reportedly suffered a heart attack and is currently receiving emergency medical treatment at a hospital in New Jersey. The beloved Bravo personality, known for her no-nonsense attitude and strong family values, was rushed to the hospital late Tuesday night after experiencing severe chest pains at her home.
Sources close to the Catania family revealed exclusively to our outlet that Dolores, 53, had been feeling fatigued and under stress in recent weeks, but had dismissed her symptoms as nothing more than exhaustion. “Dolores has been burning the candle at both ends,” said a friend who asked to remain anonymous. “Between filming, promoting her new skincare line, and taking care of her kids and elderly parents, she hasn’t taken a moment to breathe.”
The incident reportedly occurred around 10:45 PM, when Dolores collapsed in her kitchen. Her boyfriend, Paul “Paulie” Connell, was by her side and immediately called 911. Emergency responders arrived within minutes and administered preliminary treatment before transporting her to a nearby medical center.
As of this morning, hospital staff have confirmed that Dolores is in stable condition but remains under intensive observation. Doctors are performing a battery of tests to assess the damage and determine the next steps for her recovery. It’s believed she suffered what’s known as a “mild to moderate” heart attack, but the long-term impact on her health remains uncertain.
The Bravo community has already begun flooding social media with messages of support. Fellow RHONJ cast members, including Teresa Giudice and Jennifer Aydin, have taken to Instagram to send prayers and love. “My heart is broken. Dolores is one of the strongest women I know,” Giudice posted. “She’s a fighter. We’re all praying for her.”
Fans, too, are expressing their shock and concern. “Dolores has always seemed like the rock of the show. This is so scary,” one user tweeted, while another wrote, “2025 has been brutal for RHONJ fans. We can’t lose our queen.”
Production sources say that filming for the upcoming season has been put on temporary pause to allow the cast and crew time to process the incident. “Everyone’s priority right now is Dolores’ health,” one producer stated. “We’re all praying for a full and speedy recovery.”
Dolores Catania has been a fixture on The Real Housewives of New Jersey since Season 7 and has become a fan favorite for her down-to-earth charm, loyalty to friends, and dedication to her family. This latest news serves as a stark reminder of how quickly life can change — even for the strongest among us.
