Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 finale was a mess, no thanks to Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral. When Jennifer mentioned Danielle’s husband, Nate Cabral, Danielle tried to leap over the table at Jennifer.
For those who didn’t catch it, Jennifer said, “Your husband with the boobs, and you got the brawn, honey.” While Danielle shouldn’t have turned violent, Jennifer certainly shouldn’t have brought Nate into the conversation. Especially if she just intended to body-shame him.
But Nate and Danielle have had a lot of time to think since filming the finale. How do they feel about the situation now?
Did Jennifer encourage bloggers to attack Nate?
On August 21, Danielle appeared on Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea Podcast to discuss all things RHONJ. “Listen, when someone gets physical, it’s never right. It’s wrong,” Danielle began, addressing her lunge across the table. She went on to say she regretted her reaction but reminded Jennifer that “words hurt.”
She mentioned how Nate struggles with issues of body image and, as a result, “The words that cut like a knife.” Danielle further noted how Jennifer’s claims paralleled those of online commentators. “This was coming out [from] bloggers. People were saying mean things about Nate. I would see [them], and we’re like, ‘Oh God, I hope he doesn’t see this tweet or this image of a big-breasted woman and then there’s my husband.'”
Danielle continued, “He started going to the gym at 4 a.m. He started working out. He started going, ‘Babe, does this shirt make me look OK?’ And I’m like, ‘Aw s—t, he sees it.'” As such, when Jennifer ran her mouth, Danielle thought, “Oh my God, it was you. You’ve been putting it out. You!” And her violent reaction followed.
In response to Jennifer’s comments, Danielle set up and filmed a steamy photo shoot to boost Nate’s confidence. “When we saw the first clip of that video, we were like, ‘This is it. This is how you come back, is how you get a bully, is when you do stuff like that.'”
Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock.
