RHONJ’s Danielle Cabral Reacts to Jen Aydin’s Jersey Mike’s Drama

Danielle Cabral couldn’t help but seemingly weigh in on her The Real Housewives of New Jersey costar Jennifer Aydin’s drama with multiple Jersey Mike’s employees.

“I’m usually pretty good at holding my tongue, keeping my mouth shut … not saying anything, take s— from every which way and I feel like I don’t wanna today,” Cabral, 36, said in a lengthy Instagram video uploaded on Friday, January 3. “So in light of all the s— that’s been going down, I feel compelled to say if you guys only knew what it was like to be involved with this person while she’s berating me on how I treat people.”

Since joining the RHONJ cast in season 13, Cabral has had her fair share of ups and downs with Aydin, 47.. Most notably the women were at odds in season 14, which resulted in a physical altercation that subsequently got them both briefly suspended from filming.

In the Friday clip, Cabral shared that when she figures out a person’s true colors she doesn’t hesitate to cut them off.

“It broke my heart to know who people truly are and to see their true colors. Once I find that out done, bye, see you later,” she said. “And I guess it drove people insane that I’m so easily able to cut [people] out that they just spiraled and wanted to talk s—, and spew s—, and hatred and lies.”

While Cabral didn’t call out Aydin directly in the video, she was seemingly referring to the recent incident between Aydin and several Jersey Mike’s workers. The drama began when Aydin went on an Instagram Story rant about her alleged experience at a Jersey Mike’s location in an airport.

“They took our order and then they took the lady’s order that was after me but they fulfilled her order first somehow, made us wait,” Aydin claimed, calling out “the 80-year-old” working at the establishment. “Everything was slow. We’re not complaining. We get it, it’s early in the morning. You’re in a bad mood, it’s New Year’s, you’re working — I’d be pissed too.”

Cabral explained that since joining the Real Housewives franchise, she’s only tried to use her platform for “good.” However, she claimed that because “idiots” have “spread lies” about her, she’s been getting trolls in her comments section to this day spewing hate based on “false narratives” created by others.

“Imagine being a person who only looked out for people. I wanted everyone to succeed, even that asshole, even this schmuck with what she did the other day,” she continued. “A leopard never changes its spots. At the end of the day, the truth always comes out and [the] true colors of certain individuals always comes out. I will stand my ground until the day that I die, I will take the bullets from the nonsense these idiots spewed.”

Cabral added that when people meet her in real life they’re surprised that she’s nice, adding that she’s been advocating for her fellow Housewives to rethink how they act — especially in public.

“Let this be a testament of don’t always believe what you see on TV. I can’t [say I feel] vindicated by this since real people were hurt,” she said. “To see the people in this video, this woman who was working at 7 o’clock … I’m sure you all felt the same way but damn man we gotta do better.”

An apparent employee of the sandwich shop then posted a now-viral video responding with the fast food chain’s perspective of the interaction.

“I really hope this stupid bitch has TikTok,” the employee began in her post. “I really hope I come up on your For You Page bitch, I really hope you recognize me.”

The worker claimed that Aydin didn’t know what she wanted and ended up ordering “four different sandwiches” and “changing the bread last minute.” While the staff was attempting to fulfill the requests, Aydin allegedly started “backing up the entire line.” Workers then told the RHONJ star she needed to get back in line if she was going to add more sandwiches. (Us Weekly has reached out to Aydin’s team for comment.)

“She starts tweaking,” the employee claimed, alleging that Aydin said, “I’m a celebrity” and claimed she was going to sue. “She starts recording all of us and she posts it. … Learn how to order.”
