Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Cabral explains why “bully” Jennifer Aydin’s body-shaming attack on her husband Nate Cabral “cut like a knife.”
In an interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast, the 39-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star opened up about Jennifer Aydin’s body-shaming attack on her husband, Nate Cabral.
Danielle also reveals why she needed to fiercely defend her husband during the RHONJ season 14 finale.
“Listen, when someone gets physical, it’s never right. It’s wrong,” the mom of two said.
If you recall, Danielle Cabral lunged across the table at Jennifer Aydin during the season 14 finale at Rails Steakhouse after Jennifer said that Nate had “boobs.”
While Danielle admits she “regrets” her explosive reaction to Jennifer’s comment but notes that “words hurt,” especially for Nate, who has struggled with body image issues.
“The words that cut like a knife,” she adds.
The Boujie Kidz founder says she became even more incensed when she realized that Jennifer’s offensive comments mirrored attacks being made by social media trolls.
“This was coming out [from] bloggers. People were saying mean things about Nate. … I would see [them], and we’re like, ‘Oh God, I hope he doesn’t see this tweet or this image of a big-breasted woman, and then there’s my husband,’” recalled Danielle.
“He started going to the gym at 4 a.m. He started working out. He started going, ‘Babe, does this shirt make me look OK?’ And I’m like, ‘Aw s—t, he sees it,’” she said.
The 39-year-old became convinced that Jennifer was behind the online virtual against her husband.
“So when she said that to me, in that split second, I was like, ‘Oh my God, it was you. You’ve been putting it out. You!’ And … it just happened, and I thought of my husband. He’s everything to me,” Danielle said, adding that she is “not making excuses” for her bad behavior.
In response to the attacks on her husband from RHONJ fans and Jennifer Aydin, Danielle shared steamy photos of Nate on Instagram.
In the footage, Nate can be seen ripping off his t-shirt and posing shirtless alongside Andy Cohen’s Daddy Diaries book.
“You have to have thick-ass skin in the reality world. Growing up, I was a heavy kid. I had such a fear of even being called on in class,” Nate confessed in the clip. “You see people just shame and talk, it’s just like, why?”
In conclusion, Danielle admits she was overwhelmed by the “love” and support she received from fans on social media.
“I had a year to sit on my response, and this is what I’m going to do, and I had the photographer and the videographer, and it was such a peaceful set. I said, ‘Nate, trust us. We’re going to make you feel comfortable and do right by you,’” she shared.
“And when we saw the first clip of that video, we were like, ‘This is it. This is how you come back, is how you get a bully, is when you do stuff like that.’”
Real Housewives of New Jersey isn’t expected to return for season 15 until late 2025 or early 2026.
