Sometimes the fighting on The Real Housewives isn’t just verbal.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral were suspended from filming the show’s 14th season in September 2023 after a “mutual physical” altercation, Us Weekly confirmed at the time.
“Jennifer and Danielle got in a fight about a hairdresser they both use and money for a charity event that Danielle allegedly didn’t donate too,” the insider shared, adding that Jennfier allegedly pushed Danielle. “They are likely going to face some sort of long-term suspension.”
Jennifer allegedly had some light “bleeding” after the filmed altercation, which led to the Bravo stars’ brief suspension from filming.
Days after the incident, Us confirmed that they were “cleared” to film the show once again,” a separate source shared, noting they both got “written warnings.” The insider added, “Both women were spoken to individually and understand the consequences of their actions.”
Following Danielle and Jennifer’s altercation, “Bravo released new rules about physical altercations the day after the fight,” the initial source shared. However, a second source noted that the physical altercation guidelines were set to be released before the drama.
These aren’t the only two women who have gone after each other on Bravo over the years. Keep scrolling to see which other Real Housewives franchise stars have experienced a physical altercation on camera:
Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral
After their physical altercation, which took place during season 14 of RHONJ, the duo were “both willing to move on and make up,” a source told Us. “They know they went too far.”
The physical altercation went down at a party hosted by Teresa Giudice when Jennifer allegedly pushed Danielle who retaliated by throwing a drink.
Margaret Josephs and Danielle Staub
During RHONJ season 10, Danielle was egged on by Teresa to pull Margaret’s hair while all the women were shopping together. The physical altercation was the last straw for Margaret who has made it clear that she has no intention of reconciling with Danielle.
Lisa Rinna and Kim Richards
RHOBH fans will never forget the trip to Amsterdam. Between Kim making unfounded threats to talk about “the husband” (referring to Harry Hamlin) and Lisa breaking a glass, where to begin. During a heated altercation between the women, Lisa did go for Kim’s neck — however nothing transpired any further except for broken glass and some yelling.
Brandi Glanville and Kyle Richards
Brandi and Kyle were often at odds when they were both on RHOBH, but things got physical during season 5. They came to blows at a party and started pushing each other. Perhaps the worst of it came when Brandi pushed her costar after accusing Kyle of scratching her first.
Brandi Glanville and Lisa Vanderpump
Brandi found herself at odds with former BFF Lisa during RHOBH season 5. During a trip to Amsterdam Brandi slapped Lisa across the face. While Brandi took the slap to be a playful moment between the two, Lisa did not feel the same way.
Joanna Krupa and Adriana De Moura
The RHOM stars found themselves in a violent altercation while attending Lisa Hochstein's lingerie party on season 2. After Adriana initially had a verbal altercation with Karent Sierra, Joanna got involved.
Adriana made some nasty comments about Joanna and her sister before walking away. When Joanna grabbed her costar, Adriana turned around and punched her.
Porsha Williams and Kenya Moore
Porsha physically attacked Kenya during the RHOA season 6 reunion after Kenya claimed that Porsha’s ex-husband Kordell Stewart cheated on her. Not only did the women scream at each other, but Porsha grabbed Kenya by the hair, pulled her to the ground and dragged her across the floor.
The women have experienced some ups and downs since then, but as of March 2023 are in a “better place,” Porsha revealed on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen at the time.
Monique Samuels and Candiace Dillard Bassett
When RHOP season 5 aired, fans watched as Monique and Candiace got into a physical altercation. Monique attempted to pull Candiace’s hair during a wine tasting before later returning and attempting to continue the fight.
Both women ended up filing lawsuits — accusing each other of second degree assault — but the charges were eventually dropped in December 2019.
Sheree Whitfield and Kim Zolciak-Biermann
The RHOA stars were at odds during season 2 when Shereé pulled Kim’s wig during a brawl when they were standing on an Atlanta street.
Ramona Singer and Kristen Taekman
Another near-physical altercation took place during RHONY season 6 between Ramona and Kristen. At the time, Kristen splashed water at Ramona during a cast trip to the Berkshires. Ramona retaliated by throwing a full glass of wine at her costar.
Years later, nothing changed between the two as Ramona claimed she “forgot” about Kristen when they were both cast in Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy in 2023.
Danielle Staub and Ashlee Holmes
An honorable mention altercation came when former RHONJ star Jacqueline Laurita’s daughter, Ashlee, pulled Danielle’s hair during the show’s second season. Ashlee was found guilty of simple assault, per a 2010 report from the New York Daily News, and had to pay a fine.
