You can’t keep a Jersey girl down. (Not even an appendectomy can.)
The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion hasn’t even aired yet, and it’s already making waves.
In a new interview with E! News, RHONJ star Jennifer Aydin is teasing inside details about what went down at the reunion, calling it “chaotic” and saying that Andy Cohen himself had to call a time-out on the ladies.
“I don’t think anything could hold Teresa Giudice down,” Jennifer told the outlet, adding, “Not even a surgery!” This was referring to the doctor’s orders that she not shout or scream due to her appendectomy.
No surprise there.
Jennifer added, “It’s safe to say that all of us kind of go at it” during the reunion. “There were times where all of us were screaming all at once, it was very emotional,” Jen explained to the news outlet. “Andy [Cohen] was scolding us. Literally he was like, ‘Would you all just shut up’ or just like ‘one at a time!'”
Jennifer also went on to explain that she will rehash her issues with co-star Margaret Josephs over her husband Bill’s affair being exposed, and she added that she is willing to forgive but “not forget” and move forward with Margaret.
“I know Margaret was really remorseful for what she did and, at the end of the day, I’m happy that she can feel that way,” Jennifer stated. “I don’t want to hold on to any negative energy in my life. That doesn’t just affect my family, that affects me. It’s not the type of person that I am, so I’m willing to forgive and move forward. Not forget, I’ll probably be on guard and trust is something that comes with time. But I’m glad we were able to at least talk about our feelings at the reunion. Maybe screaming at times.”
Jennifer also said that Bill will not be let off the hook and is put in the hot seat during the reunion, and he owned up to his mistakes like an honest man.
“He was put on the spot, and he filmed all season for me—as awkward and as uncomfortable as it was. People were thinking that he wasn’t team Jen or that he wasn’t being supportive of his wife, but I literally acknowledged this big secret and then I expected him to show up for it. And it’s not easy for everybody like it is for me, so I had to respect that.”
Jennifer also went on to call Bill “supportive” and “amazing,” and she said that the two are ready to move on to the next chapter in their lives together as a united front.
“I wouldn’t be with anybody that didn’t treat me well and Bill treats me like a queen. Listen, we spoke about it and now we’re done with it, and we could close that chapter of our lives.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey currently airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
