Is Jennifer Aydin coming back to RHONJ?

Andy Cohen may have said that Bravo won't be sharing any news on the next season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey until at least late 2025, but that hasn't stopped the cast from having their own opinions on the future of the show -- and maybe making the decision to exit the cast?

There were already rumors that Bravo was planning a full reboot of RHONJ like they did with RHONY, but those rumors were never confirmed by Bravo. Since even the cast has shared that they don't know anything about the future of the show, it's hard to say what the future holds for season 15 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but a new report claims that at least one cast member has chosen to leave the series.

Jennifer Aydin is reportedly leaving RHONJ ahead of season 15

Jennifer Aydin became a main cast member on RHONJ in season 9 after previously appearing as a guest and stayed on the show through season 14. Now, OK! Magazine is reporting that an insider has shared with them that she's not coming back for season 15.

This is still only a rumor since Bravo has yet to share any official news about RHONJ's future, but an insider speaking to the publication has claimed that following the viral footage of Jennifer Aydin's altercation at a Jersey Mike's location, she has made the decision not to return for The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 15.

In January 2025, Jennifer Aydin came under fire for filming herself berating two employees of a Jersey Mike's location in an airport. In the footage, which she shared to her Instagram story, she complained that the workers were making sandwiches too slowly and about the attitudes of the employees.

According to the insider speaking to OK! Magazine, her filmed meltdown in Jersey Mike's is one of the reasons that she won't be returning to RHONJ. Considering other members of the cast and even Bravo producer Andy Cohen himself have fired back at her for her behavior in the videos, this may not come as a surprise to many fans.

On his SiriusXM show Radio Andy, Andy Cohen chastised Jennifer Aydin for filming and uploading the altercation and said that the backlash she was receiving was a "self-inflicted wound." On his radio show, he said of the scandal, "She melted down. And you know what, before you hit send on the post, take a beat and say, 'How is this gonna land?' How are you going to cause so much trouble for yourself?"

Although Jennifer Aydin went on to defend her behavior while speaking to Us Weekly, the insider speaking to OK! Magazine says that her apology and statement on the situation weren't enough to turn the public's opinion back on her side.

The alleged insider told the publication, "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.'"

The source went on to tell the publication that all of the RHONJ housewives have been claiming they'll be back for season 15, but since there's currently no show and has been no news from Bravo, fans should take their claims with a grain of salt and said that until Bravo announces the cast, they're housewives with no show.

For now, any updates on RHONJ season 15 are pure speculation. Fans will just have to wait until Bravo shares the cast list to see if Jennifer Aydin comes back or not -- and if Andy Cohen is to be believed, it could be a long wait.
