Margaret Josephs calls out Jennifer Aydin for her request to return to ‘RHONJ’

Margaret Josephs is speaking out about Jennifer Aydin saying she will be part of the next season of ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ as Bravo uncovers the future of the reality series.

“I just knew it was a mistake. You don’t do that. Don’t be presumptuous. You shouldn’t be arrogant,” says Josephs, 57. Page Six’s “Real Virtual Tea” while promoting it Ambition Blonde Tour with fellow “Housewives” star Dorinda Medley.

“Until the whole cast knows and you get that call, you don’t have to respond to people,” she adds, calling Aydin, 47, “childish and ridiculous” for his comment on the subject.

The state of “RHONJ” remains in flux after an incredibly divisive season 14 that saw a myriad of feuds play out and, for the first time in the show’s 15-year history, a traditional meeting canceled.

Heated conflicts between Josephs and Aydin, Josephs and Jackie Goldschneider, Aydin and Danielle Cabral, Teresa Giudice and Rachel Fuda, Fuda and Jennifer Fessler as well as lingering tensions between Giudice and her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga occurred throughout, leaving the casting dynamic comes to a standstill.

The mother of five — who has appeared on “RHONJ” since season 9 — raised her middle finger and retorted, “Oh, sorry…I’ll be back.” »

Executive producer of “Real Housewives” Andy Cohen shut down the claim during a later broadcast of his SiriusXM radio show, “Andy Cohen Live.”

“We did absolutely nothing – well, actually, we did a lot. But it’s not – no. I’ll wait until I get one – I wish him luck,” he said. “Wait until Bravo or I say something.”

Josephs, for his part, appreciated Cohen’s response.

“It’s just like, bury yourself, I don’t care,” she tells us of her on-screen opponent Aydin before praising the “Watch What Happens Live” host: “Then Andy came back and said it straight, and it was amazing.”

While the franchise is a hot topic for fans who come to see “Real Housewives of New York” alum Josephs and Medley, 59, on their Blonde Ambition tour, the ladies enjoyed sharing parts of themselves— even beyond the Bravoverse with the public.

“It’s important that when you’re not really filming anymore and you go back out there, you want to make sure that people understand that you’re not just a Bravolebrity,” Medley told “Virtual Reali-Tea.”

“We have to remember that there is a lot of life behind us: how we got to ‘Housewives’, we lived, we loved, we did business, we raised children. And we want people to know that even when we’re not in front of the cameras, we still exist, we run our lives and our businesses and have a lot to say.
