Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral have been dismissed from Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” after an argument on set. According to sources, the women got into an altercation that escalated physically during a Teresa Giudice-hosted event on Thursday. “Jennifer pushed Danielle during the argument & Danielle retaliated by shattering her plastic cup and flinging it towards Jennifer’s face, spilling blood,” according to a source. However, according to another version, Aydin was just scratched when Cabral tossed her cup; the former didn’t get medical assistance on the scene. “Jennifer only pressed Danielle because Danielle got in her face,” claims a third production source.
Aydin, 46, and Cabral, 38, are barred from filming — even alone — until the incident is investigated by Bravo and Sirens Media, the production firm behind “RHONJ.” According to a source, video evidence has been studied to assist in identifying whether Cabral flung the plastic cup at Aydin’s face or if she hit her while gripping it — as contradictory accounts swirl behind the scenes — while the inquiry continues. Dolores Catania and “friends of” the cast Jennifer Fessler and Jackie Goldschneider were there at the time of the confrontation, although NJ “Housewives” Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, and Rachel Fuda were not.
Jennifer Aydin And Danielle Cabral Are Suspended From “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” After A Physical Incident
The Real Housewives of New Jersey has halted production for two of its stars following an alleged physical incident. Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral have been temporarily suspended from shooting the Bravo series until an investigation into the two women is being conducted, according to PEOPLE. On Thursday, the reality stars allegedly got into an “altercation” while shooting RHONJ at costar Teresa Giudice’s house. “They’ve been feuding all season,” a source tells PEOPLE, “but the dispute escalated in ways it hadn’t before.” According to the source, the argument began verbally and escalated into a physical altercation when Aydin, 46, pushed Cabral, 38. Cabral allegedly tossed her drink at Aydin in response. The plastic cup struck Aydin in the face, plus the back of her earring “cut through the back of her neck,” according to the source. Aydin and Cabral were suspended from filming for several days as a result of the alleged incident, however, a second source in forms PEOPLE that “no one knows how long that’ll last.”
“Neither recorded this weekend, but both have scenes slated for this week,” the second source said. The 14th season of RHONJ is presently in production. Cabral made her Bravo debut last season, while Aydin has been with the show since season 9 in 2018. Aside from Cabral, Aydin, and Giudice (who has been a part of the show since its debut in 2009), other cast members include Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, and Rachel Fuda. Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler will return as Friends of the Franchise, as they did in season 13. PEOPLE previously verified that filming for the next season began in August. Though there was initial anticipation that it would feature a cast shakeup in the midst of Teresa and Melissa’s seemingly never-ending conflict, PEOPLE verified in July that Bravo extended return offers to both ladies and the rest of their season 13 costars. Bravo has not yet confirmed a season 14 launch date. While the present drama appears to be centred on Cabral and Aydin, the previous season’s focus was mainly centred on the Gorga/Giudice family feud.
