Margaret Josephs wasn’t lying when she teased that she was in the center of all the drama this season on Real Housewives of New Jersey. During the Season 12 premiere, Margaret exposed her RHONJ co-star Jennifer Aydin’s husband, Bill Aydin, as a cheater.
Bill’s infidelity occurred 10 years ago, when Jennifer was pregnant with their fourth kid. Oof. Jennifer never told anyone about her husband’s indiscretion. “I was able to do it for the greater good of my family,” Jennifer stated.
RHONJ stars Jennifer and Margaret have a history of coming for each other. Jennifer slammed Margaret, and Margaret’s mother, for dating married men. Margaret claimed that Jennifer used Bill as a “meal ticket.”
Margaret admitted that she revealed Bill’s indiscretion because Jennifer was a hypocrite. And Margaret said that she knew about Bill’s infidelity before Jennifer joined the RHONJ cast. Melissa Gorga also stated that she knew about Bill’s affair for years.
Jennifer told Entertainment Tonight that she doesn’t believe that Margaret was aware of Bill’s affair when she joined RHONJ. During Jennifer’s first season, Margaret hinted at Bill’s infidelity when she commented that Bill supposedly slept with his girlfriend or in the pool house. Jennifer erupted in fury and Margaret dropped it.

“What courtesy did she have to me? I think it was better for her to do it back [in season 9], because at least back then there was no history and she really didn’t care,” Jennifer explained.
“So why wouldn’t she blurt it out? She would think like, ‘Oh, she came onto the show. She knew it’s, like, all bets are off. I’m going to out her…,'”Jennifer commented. “So, I feel that if she did have that information for real, that she would’ve used it. So, I don’t believe that she’s had it all this time.” That is a valid point.
Jennifer stated, “I do believe that she knew when we were filming our [season 11] reunion in New York. And again, it looks like she told Melissa [Gorga] and Jackie [Goldschneider] — so all those times she got mad at me for like, let’s say, telling Teresa [Giudice] what Bill said at boys’ night.”
Bill landed in hot water because he told his wife a juicy story that came up during a boys’ poker night. Margaret’s husband, Joe Benigno, admitted that he also heard the rumor that Jackie’s husband, Evan Goldschneider, cheated on her. Jennifer gave Teresa the tea.

The mother of five continued, “‘Why did you tell Teresa?!’ I don’t know. We tell our friends s**t. You told Melissa and Jackie about my husband’s affair when you obviously are preaching, ‘Don’t gossip…’ but yet you gossip? So, I think that’s hypocritical in itself actually.”
Jennifer called out Margaret on Instagram for her hypocrisy. Jennifer wrote the definition of the word “hypocrite” in the caption. She added a video from the Season 8 RHONJ reunion. In the clip, Margaret defended Teresa and Joe Giudice from cheating whispers. “But when she said something like, ‘Joe is cheating on Teresa, Teresa is cheating on Joe…’ that just doesn’t hurt Teresa, that hurts Teresa’s entire family,” Margaret commented. Bloop!
“She took the words right out of my mouth! And it was interesting, when I saw that clip — and I don’t remember that clip, I don’t remember, and I watched that season, but obviously we don’t pay attention to detail until it affects you — and it had come up on my feed just randomly,” Jennifer told Entertainment Tonight.

She added, “And I was like, this is like poetic justice speaking to me, because it just came off the heat of her constantly calling me a hypocrite.” Both Jennifer and Margaret have been hypocrites, so no one will win this war of words.
“So no, when you say like, ‘Oh, she’s with the same thing and it’s in her own backyard’…No, I’m not. He doesn’t go around bragging to everybody on how he cheated on me,” Jennifer stated. “So, when I saw that, I just thought, ‘You know what? I’m in a good place with her, but this is fact. It’s from her own mouth. So, she can’t get mad at me for saying it,'” Jennifer remarked. “She said it. And I agree with her,” she added.
