RHONJ's Jennifer Aydin shifts her focus to the positive following an intense physical confrontation with co-star Danielle Cabral during the filming of season 14 of 'Real Housewives of New Jersey'
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jennifer Aydin is focusing on the future after her altercation with Danielle Cabral. Speaking exclusively to We at BravoCon on Friday, November 3, the 46-year-old expressed her desire to concentrate on positive experiences. Jennifer aims to avoid letting past negative incidents affect her current mood and is excited about meeting fans and enjoying the vibrant energy of BravoCon in Las Vegas.
Jennifer, 38, teased about her relationship with Danielle but confirmed that the New Jersey ladies wrapped up filming their season 14 finale "last week." She assured fans that the upcoming season, premiering next year, will be worth the wait, as she stays true to herself, even if she occasionally speaks before thinking. Jennifer believes that this authenticity makes for great television, and she hopes that viewers will thoroughly enjoy this season.
One thing season 14 might bring? Footage of Jennifer's altercation with Danielle. Despite their initial camaraderie on season 13 of the Bravo hit, a source exclusively told Us at the time that their relationship took a turn for the worse in September. The incident occurred during a party hosted by cast mate Teresa Giudice. Jennifer allegedly engaged in a physical altercation with Danielle, resulting in both women being suspended from filming. As the tension escalated, Jennifer reportedly pushed Danielle while, in response, Danielle retaliated by throwing a drink at Jennifer.
According to an insider, there was a conflict between Jennifer and Danielle over a shared hairdresser and an alleged lack of donation towards a charity event. Although both women did not suffer significant injuries, Jennifer experienced some minor bleeding during the incident, which was captured on camera.
In the following weeks, another insider revealed that Jennifer and Danielle had both received official written warnings following the physical altercation. They were individually spoken to and fully comprehend the ramifications of their behavior.
According to the insider, both women are willing to reconcile and move forward, acknowledging that they crossed boundaries. The source confirmed that both individuals were given permission to resume filming.
Neither reality star addressed the altercation directly at the time. However, Danielle seemingly shared Jennifer's desire for positivity through a cryptic quote. In September, she posted on her Instagram Story, "Focus on the good. And let God handle the rest."
Prior to their disagreement, Jennifer was one of the few cast members who stood up for Danielle during her first season on RHONJ. She called out her fellow castmates for doubting Danielle's story about her estranged relationship with her brother.

"I never anticipated there being more to the story. It amazed me that we had a newfound friend who was willing to open up to us. She shared her vulnerabilities due to her current situation. As friends, should we now doubt everything we say? In March, Jennifer revealed exclusively to Us her thoughts on the new cast member of season 13. She believes in taking her friends' words at face value."
Furthermore, Jennifer expressed her disbelief at how the other women were handling Danielle's revelation about her brother. According to Danielle, he had blocked her on Instagram and cancelled her invitation to his wedding. Jennifer emphasized that she had never treated a friend in such a manner.
"When we met the girl, you immediately started interrogating her, which didn't sit well with me. That's why I remained silent, essentially expressing my confusion," she continued. "Our friend confided in us that she's going through something, and I don't understand why it's important to probe further. Can't we just be a supportive friend?"
During an interview in Las Vegas on Saturday, Jennifer expressed to Us that RHONJ revolves around friendships. "I understand that conflict is also a part of the show, but people tune in for the friendships. They don't want to see constant fighting; they prefer seeing people reconcile."
