In an Instagram post, Jennifer Aydin shared her thoughts about leaving “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” behind. A caption explained her feelings along with the words, “Peace out everybody.”
Aydin added, “It was fun while it lasted, but we be moving on up and out.”
In the post’s comments section, her social media followers shared their thoughts about this new chapter of Aydin’s life. They believed she should have remained a part of the Bravo series.
“Shame they didn’t bring you back at least as a friend of. You’re still friends with Dolores [Catania] and Teresa [Giudice] , and you’ve shown you can be in the same room as Melissa [Gorga],” wrote one follower.
“You were my fave on the show. You made me laugh without fail, and you are HANDS DOWN one of the best Bravo moms ever. I’ll miss you on my TV, but I’ll always be a fan and will support you,” penned a second supporter.
A third Instagram user noted, “Definitely will be an empty void but onto bigger and better things. Can’t wait to see what’s next.”
Jennifer Aydin Said She Wasn’t ‘Surprised’ She Wasn’t Asked Back to RHONJ
During a new episode of her podcast “TV Gold,” Aydin spilled the tea about not being asked back to RHONJ.
“I’m not coming back to the ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey,’” she began. “You guys are very passionate about the show. You have strong opinions about me, Margaret Josephs. I appreciate that, it’s great. But it doesn’t change my life either way.”
Aydin explained that she received a call from Bravo as she was picking her kids up from school. “I picked up, and we caught up, and it was really nice to catch up. She asked me what I’ve been up to, and I told her about ‘TV Gold,’ creating my own production company. Jacob just got a car — he turned 17.”
But she admitted that she wasn’t entirely surprised by what happened next. “And then I asked her what’s new with the show, and the executive said, ‘That’s exactly why I’m calling. I wanted to give you the courtesy and tell you we decided not to ask you back.’”
Aydin concluded, “I was like, ‘Okay, I kind of knew that already, and I’m surprised with this phone call.’ She said, ‘Yeah, I kind of had a feeling you knew, but you did give so much to the show, and we just felt it was right to call you.’”
On Tuesday, March 24, Bravo announced that RHONJ would begin filming after a hiatus of almost two years. Returning to the series are Melissa Gorga, Teresa Giudice, and Dolores Catania. A release date has not yet been revealed.
Certainly will not miss you at all.

I absolutely hate Pinocchio…aka…Aydin
She’s a mean girl, bully, narcissist, liar, wannabe & ugly as sin.
Hope I never see her again on any show. No wonder her husband cheats on her & sleeps in the guest house.
Wow! If said that I would be deleted. I agree with every word you wrote.
