Margaret Josephs Defends Danielle Cabral’s ‘Knee-Jerk Reaction’ to Jennifer Aydin

The Real Housewives of New Jersey has a cast that is divided. Before, the ladies were either on Teresa Giudice’s squad or Melissa Gorga’s team. Well, except for Dolores Catania, who is playing the Switzerland card and being friends with both sides. But now the physical confrontation between Danielle Cabral and Jennifer Aydin has divided the cast even more. And Margaret Josephs is standing up for Danielle.

Before the altercation, Jennifer accused Danielle of allegedly taking money from a charity. According to Danielle, she organized an event, paid the vendors out of the proceeds, and gave all the rest to the charity. Then Jennifer claimed that Danielle reportedly tried to ruin her hairdresser’s photo shoot for her hair extensions line. The insults started flying, and Jennifer pushed Danielle away from her. So, Danielle smacked the side of Jennifer’s head with a plastic cup. Both ladies were temporarily suspended while Bravo investigated the incident.

Both Margaret and Rachel Fuda didn’t attend Teresa’s party where the altercation went down. “The truth is Jennifer really pushed her much harder than I ever thought and really was the aggressor in that situation,” Margaret told Page Six. “And Danielle had a knee-jerk reaction, which I think nobody would have. When I saw it play back, I was like, ‘Wow.’” Wow, indeed. It is never fun to watch a physical fight between two adults who should know better.

Margaret and Danielle weren’t besties during Season 13 of RHONJ. “Danielle was in my space like that the year before. I didn’t push her like that,” Margaret stated. “That did not happen between myself and Danielle.”

Then Rachel also weighed in on Danielle’s actions. “Danielle did what anyone in this group would do,” she stated. “If someone shoved you with such force, you’re cracked in the head.”

Rachel continued, “Based on Jennifer Aydin’s track record of aggression and lack of boundaries, what I heard and what I saw were really the same thing. That’s my expectation for Jen. She likes to be the antagonist,” she added.

Real Housewives of New Jersey continues on Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
