Jennifer Aydin will not return to Real Housewives of New Jersey next season, according to a new report. Meanwhile, Shannon Beador is replacing her on a ‘Wives at Sea’ cruise with Teresa Giudice and Dolores Catania. As of now, RHONJ is on pause.

Earlier this month, Jennifer was reportedly fired from the cruise after she posted a controversial video at Jersey Mike’s. In the video, she ranted that the “80-year-old” making her sandwich was too slow, and Jennifer called herself a celebrity. She later apologized, but she insisted she wasn’t rude to any staff.  

“Jennifer Aydin is not coming back [next season],” said a source speaking to OK! Magazine.

The insider addressed the Jersey Mike’s video.

“There’s no excuse [to do that],” said the source. “And with her ‘apologies,’ she’s more or less doubled down on it. I also believe this has affected her husband’s business. She needs to read the room. Look what’s going on in the country and in the world. People are suffering and you’re over there like, ‘My diamonds are real’ and ‘I’m a celebrity.’”

But the insider claimed that even before the scandal, the network wasn’t planning on letting Jennifer return. According to the source, host Andy Cohen wasn’t Jennifer’s biggest fan, which played a role in her firing. They also cited a report that Jennifer leaked early copies of upcoming episodes, which are called “screeners.”

“You can’t do that and get away with that,” said the insider.

They also addressed how Jennifer previously claimed she was coming back, though Andy soon debunked it.

“They’re all saying that,” said the source, referring to last season’s cast. “You’re a Housewife with no show. I’m not going to take away from them that they were Housewives. Yes, they were. But there’s no show right now.”

“Teresa has a brand to protect,” the insider added, “and she’s going to have to distance herself from Jen. If she wants to hang out with her, she shouldn’t take pictures, as she’s going to get slammed for it. And maybe it’s even better if it’s in the privacy of their own homes so no one [else who sees them] can take pictures and talk about it.”

Meanwhile, the Fans at Sea cruise revealed Jennifer’s replacement.

“Shannon Beador Is Replacing Jennifer Aydin on Cruise After Jersey Mike’s Incident,” read a headline shared by the Fans at Sea Instagram account.

“We are booking fast!” the account continued. “Book today fansatsea.com!”
