Woman urges 'cocky' co-star to 'dial back' 'unacceptable behavior'

1 month ago 11

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently on a hiatus. After the season 14 cast came to blows, things were left on such bad terms between them that a traditional reunion was scrapped. As the future of RHONJ hangs in the balance, all kinds of rumors swirl.

While many different cast rumors have been churned out since Real Housewives of New Jersey wrapped, one claim from a RHONJ star was quickly shut down by Bravo‘s Andy Cohen, 56. Andy “wishes Jennifer Aydin, 47, well,” but shut down her claims she’s returning to the show. Since then, Margaret Josephs, 57, has weighed in on her “cocky” co-star.

Margaret Josephs says ‘it’s unacceptable’

Appearing as a guest on Reality Checked with Dorinda Medley, 59, this October, Margaret Josephs said she’d “never be so presumptuous to say something like that,” speaking of Jennifer’s comments.

During the show’s current “break,” Jennifer reportedly said on her Instagram Stories that she was set to return to RHONJ.

Andy debunked the claims. Margaret told Dorinda she thought Andy put Jennifer “in her place,” adding how she believes it was a “big mistake” for her to make such comments.

“You don’t go around saying those things when we are on a hiatus and a break… you don’t go around so cocky and behave that way,” she says.

As Dorinda says Jen’s behavior is “reckless,” Margaret agrees, adding: “It’s not acceptable. That is why we’re having issues on the show to start out with. Just like dial it back and everybody should pipe down.”

Real Housewives of New Jersey stars ‘knew the truth’

Despite lots of RHONJ fans buying into the idea Jen is returning to RHONJ next season, Margaret tells Dorinda how she and her co-stars “knew” the claims “weren’t true.”

She explains: “Well, we knew it wasn’t true. I mean, you know, no one’s calling her and saying, you know, and not calling anybody else. I mean, that’s nonsense.”

Dorinda also pitches in: “…But it’s very sort of annoying for the other cast members because you want to then get on the soapbox and be like, but you don’t want to. The whole point of this break is to have a settling period. You want it to settle.”

Agreeing that the whole purpose of RHONJ’s hiatus is to let the dust settle, Marg adds: “Yes. It’s like a can of soda. It would explode if you keep shaking it and we’re just taking it down a notch. I think she didn’t take it down a notch.”
