In a candid moment, Jennifer Aydin shared details about an unexpected encounter with Real Housewives of New Jersey co-star Margaret Josephs at a Gucci outlet. The interaction, which started off as somewhat tense, took a surprising turn as the two women navigated their ongoing dynamics.
“I saw her at the Gucci outlet,” Aydin recalled to US. “We were ignoring each other at first. My kids were like, ‘Margaret’s here with Lexi.’ And I was there with my sister-in-law, Bill’s brother’s wife, and my four nieces and nephew, and I was treating them to a shopping spree at Gucci.” The casual setting of the store made it difficult to ignore one another for long, especially when both women found themselves in close proximity.
Jennifer Aydin continued, “We had to get to the men’s department where Margaret and Lexi were in line. I had to pass them and I’m like, ‘This is ridiculous. I can’t say, ‘Hello?’ It’s New Year’s. So, I passed her, and I said ‘hello.’” Despite any prior tension between the two, Aydin made the first move toward breaking the ice by acknowledging Josephs with a simple greeting.
As the conversation unfolded, Jennifer Aydin introduced Margaret to her sister-in-law, and the two women began chatting. “She was very sweet, and so was Lexi,” Aydin shared. It was a moment of civility, as Aydin emphasized the importance of maintaining cordiality, even in awkward or strained circumstances. “I believe in being cordial for the moment,” she added.
The discussion took an unexpected turn when Josephs brought up the topic of their careers on RHONJ. “She was saying something like, ‘I don’t think we have a job, by the way. I don’t think any of us have a job.’” Aydin reflected on the comment, admitting that the situation surrounding their roles on the show had become “so toxic” that it was difficult to figure out what was next. “Whatever it is, it is,” she said. Despite the uncertainty, Aydin maintained a respectful perspective. “I respect Bravo, and I respect that they know what they’re doing. They’ve been in this business for a long time…If they feel like we need to regroup, more power to you.”

What surprises me the most about this story, is that Margaret was buying real Gucci items, and not the fake stuff she usually swans around in.
I honestly think Jen is a nicer person than I am and I think that genuine character is why good karma blessed her with the lifestyle that she has. I would not have acknowledged Old Hag Magoo’s presence so kudos to her for being a good example to her nieces and nephew.
Margaret is a snake but nice of Jen to stop and say hello.
I understand that Jennifer and Margaret ignored each other at first, I’m sure it was awkward seeing each other.
But I think it was mature and nice that Jennifer eventually said hello to Margaret ,
It is. It shows that her character is more than one dimensional. Even if one facet of her character is assholish (I’m not denying that), it is not the whole of her character. There would have been any number of ways Jennifer could have let her asshole flag fly (again ?), but she not only chose not to, she also chose to wave the flag of a grown ass woman and good for her! ??
STFU, Jennifer. You, your felon friend , her skeezy husband and James Leonard turned the show toxic with all your behind the scenes dirty deeds. There are receipts to prove it.
Jennifer is such a braggart and she just can't help but let everyone know that she's treating her family to a shopping spree.
When people do nice things for other people and are genuine about it they don't brag about it.
