Rachel Fuda didn’t mince words during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live on June 23. In a candid discussion, she outright said that the intense altercation between Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral was premeditated. “Can we think of anything that’s more pre-contrived in all of that?”
Rachel questioned, adding, “These girls come into this season with a plan and they execute. And that was the execution of a plan that happened before cameras even picked up.”
Heated Confrontation at Teresa’s Home
The fight aired on June 23 showed Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral clashing at a Tulum-themed party hosted by Teresa Giudice. The tension between them peaked when Aydin accused Cabral of being disloyal to her longtime hair stylists. This led to a heated exchange of insults that culminated in Aydin shoving Cabral, who responded by smashing a drink on Aydin’s head.
The Aftermath and Allegations
The fight was severe enough to result in both women getting suspended from The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Addressing the incident, Cabral took to social media, emphasizing that the altercation was just the tip of the iceberg
. In her post, she vented her frustration about enduring constant lies over the past year.
However, Rachel Fuda’s remarks on Watch What Happens Live suggest a different perspective. She believes that the entire episode was staged far in advance, hinting at deeper intrigues within the show’s dynamics.
Cohen Weighs In
Andy Cohen, dad to Benjamin and Lucy, admitted the reunion taping left him so distraught that he needed two tequilas to wind down. Describing the intensity between Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga, Cohen expressed frustration over trying to control the room.
The level of—I won’t even say vitriol—I will just say hate, between Teresa and Melissa, it’s… I mean, the gloves are off,
he noted.
Cohen also sent an early morning email to producers detailing his thoughts after being deeply affected by the arguments. Cohen predicted that the reunion ‘will be very compelling television’ after all the drama that played out.
An Uneasy Future for RHONJ
The ongoing turmoil has raised questions about the future format of RHONJ reunions. Speaking to PEOPLE earlier this month, an insider explained that the significant dissensions led to the decision of canceling the season’s reunion entirely. A reunion is meant to have resolution and it’s clear in the season finale that there is no path forward in that type of setting.
The unexpected movements behind RHONJ signal larger shifts ahead for reality TV enthusiasts. With Rachel Fuda’s claims revisiting assumptions about reality television’s authenticity, eagerness among fans for upcoming seasons remains palpable.
