Amber Marchese appears on

Most cast members of The Real Housewives of New Jersey become legacy cast, remaining for multiple seasons. But not a former housewife and controversial member, Amber Marchese. The 45-year-old beauty joined the cast in Season 6, making it her first and last appearance. Aside from her husband’s offputting personality, she was most known for her cancer storyline. After leaving the show, she was diagnosed for a second time, leading to major surgery in hopes that the cancer wouldn’t return.

Did Amber From ‘RHONJ’ Have Cancer?

Amber joined the show in Season 6 as an old friend of Melissa Gorga. She quickly established herself as a foe after alleging Gorga changed once she got married, and tried to align herself with Teresa Giudice. But her relationships with her co-stars soured due to her husband getting into arguments with them, leaving Amber as an outcast. However, she did spread awareness for breast cancer.
