AceShowbiz - Jennifer Aydin may have become the first casualty in the major cast shakeup of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey". She is reportedly fired following backlash after she recorded herself berating employees at Jersey Mike's, bragging about her celebrity status, and mocking an elderly worker.

Further fueling speculation about her departure from the franchise, the reality TV star is being removed from a cruise ship event with fellow "Housewives" Teresa Giudice and Dolores Catania. Her spot is filled by "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Shannon Beador.

“I am so excited to announce I will be joining Teresa Giudice and Dolores Catania as the THIRD Housewife joining Wives on the Waves Cruise! 🎉✨," Beador announced on Instagram.

Aydin hasn't responded to her alleged exit from the Bravo show, but she has addressed the incident at Jersey Mike's. In a statement released a few days after the video went viral, she insisted she she's not rude to the employees but did acknowledge that she could have handled the situation differently. She blamed her "angst" for the way she reacted to the situation.

This incident came on the heels of a tumultuous Season 14, which saw Aydin embroiled in an feud with co-star Danielle Cabral. The season culminated in a dramatic and explosive altercation that ultimately led to the cancellation of the reunion.

The cast for the upcoming season 15 of "RHONJ" have yet to be announced. Rumor has it, producers explore a younger cast, similar to the overhauls seen on "The Real Housewives of New York City" and "Vanderpump Rules". However, this new direction has been put on hold, leaving the fate of both the existing cast and the potential new additions hanging in the balance.

While reports of Aydin's firing persist, official confirmation awaits a statement from Bravo executive Andy Cohen. The wait for Season 15, currently slated for 2026, promises to be a long one, leaving fans to speculate and anticipate the dramatic twists and turns that are sure to come.
