Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral get into physical altercation, are suspended from ‘RHONJ’

Reality TV

Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral have been suspended from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” after getting into an altercation while filming the Bravo reality show, Page Six can confirm. 

Sources tell us that the women got into a heated exchange, which turned physical, during an event hosted by Teresa Giudice on Thursday.  

“Jennifer pushed Danielle during the argument and Danielle retaliated by crumpling her plastic cup and hurling it towards Jennifer’s face, drawing blood,” one insider alleges.

However, another source assures us Aydin sustained nothing more than a scratch when Cabral threw her beverage; the former did not receive medical attention on site. 

A separate production insider emphasizes, “Jennifer only pushed Danielle because Danielle got in her face.”

We’re told Aydin, 46, and Cabral, 38, are not permitted to film — even alone — as the incident is under investigation, launched by Bravo and Sirens Media, the production company behind “RHONJ.”

A source tells us that video footage has been reviewed to help determine whether Cabral threw the plastic cup at Aydin’s face, or if she hit her while holding it — as incongruent accounts circulate behind the scenes — amid the ongoing investigation.

AllAboutTRH was the first to report on the fight.

Aydin, a veteran star whose tenure on the series began in 2018, and Cabral, who entered the fray last year, notably got along during Season 13, but an insider explains that their dynamic shifted dramatically while filming the forthcoming “RHONJ” installment. 

“They have clashed a lot,” the source claims. “Jennifer has accused Danielle of not donating money during a recent charity event, while Danielle has accused Jennifer of stealing her hairdresser.”

No one suspected such typical “Housewives” conflicts would result in a physical confrontation, though.

“Everyone is shocked,” a source says of the “RHONJ” ladies’ collective reaction to the fracas. “And no one has any idea when Danielle and Jennifer will begin filming again.”  

Reps for Bravo, Aydin and Cabral did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment. 

The pair have yet to publicly address the incident, but did resume their social media activity as normal.

“Focus on the good. And let God handle the rest,” Cabral posted via her Instagram Story on Sunday prior to checking out “MJ the Musical” on Broadway. 

Aydin, for her part, shared an Instagram Story about spending a “low-key” evening with Giudice at the latter’s house on Saturday. 

Bravo has yet to announce a premiere date for “RHONJ” Season 14.
