Jennifer from real housewives of new jersey

Dolores Catania exclusively tells Page Six she’s “done” with her “Real Housewives of New Jersey” co-star for good because of the way Aydin treated her leading up to the reunion.

“The way she spoke about me was unwarranted,” Catania says.

Though the women largely got along while filming the latest installment of “RHONJ,” they began feuding from afar after Aydin branded Catania a “jerk” in a February interview on Access Hollywood’s “Housewives Nightcap”  — just weeks after Season 12 premiered.

Aydin — who criticized Catania for not defending her on the show throughout her and husband Dr. Bill Aydin’s dramatic infidelity storyline — said that she hoped to “work it out” with her castmate at the reunion. 

But it was Jennifer’s commitment to hashing out their issues on stage with Andy Cohen that left a bad taste in Catania’s mouth. 

“I did reach out to her off-camera and I did try to speak to her as a friend and she said, ‘I’ll see you at the reunion,’” she recalls. “That was a very pivotal moment for me to see that the person who I have stuck up for so much and feel that I’ve been there for spoke to me like, ‘I’ll see you at the reunion.’’

Catania, who joined “RHONJ” as a full-time “Housewife” in Season 7, maintains that she has fiercely defended Jennifer, who entered the fray in Season 9, against any adversaries — both on- and off-camera.

“I’ve been a friend to you on the show since you’ve been on …  I’ve left events with you. I’ve had your back when you were un-defendable, whether you were in front of me or not,” Catania, 51, says. “And this is the way I get treated.”

It was revealed during part one of the “New Jersey” reunion that Catania gave Jennifer, 45, a pep talk before telling her there was no need to cry over Bill’s 10-year-old affair coming to light on the reality series.

Catania tells Page Six she was disappointed that Jennifer didn’t step in prior to give context to her seemingly cold comment. 

“She should have stepped up and said, ‘Listen, I asked her to be tough with me and I asked her to actually stop me from crying.’ I’m like, ’Stop crying. Walk in this house with your head up and your shoulders back,’” Catania says of the tense scene filmed at her former townhouse rental. 

“That’s what I told her, ‘Because you have a good marriage. This is something you got through and be proud of it.’ But it wasn’t the way she wanted to take it this season,” she adds. “So, I didn’t realize that. Sorry.”

However, Catania is not sorry for putting the kibosh on a future friendship with Jennifer. 

“I feel like it’s probably better for both me and Jen,” she says. “The way I left that reunion is the way it will stay. This is the way it is. This is fine. I don’t have to be everyone’s friend. I’m not used to being treated like this by women — sorry — or anyone because I don’t deserve it.”

Part three of the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” Season 12 reunions airs Tuesday, May 17, at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. 

Jennifer Aydin reveals on tonight’s episode of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” that she is “questioning” her marriage with husband Dr. Bill Aydin after his decade-old affair came to light — and Page Six has an exclusive sneak peek. 

“It was one thing living through it privately,” an emotional Jennifer, 44, tells her brother Steven over lunch, sharing her marital woes with him for the first time. “Now that it’s out there and I have to be forced to deal with it, it’s really hard.” 

Steven points out that Jennifer “still [has] anger” and is “dealing with stuff” she should have handled when Bill’s infidelity originally occurred. 

Jennifer agrees and tells Steven that she and Bill “don’t talk about it” at home as it makes the plastic surgeon “uncomfortable.” 

Steven then broaches the subject of therapy, a coping mechanism that Jennifer has considered but Bill has so far refused out of fear. 

“He was almost like, ‘Listen, if we go into a space where we feel we can tell each other everything, I’m afraid that we’re going to open Pandora’s box and not be able to close it,’” Jennifer says. 

Still, the mom of five — who shares Justin, 17, Gabriella, 14, Jacob, 13, Christian, 11, and Olivia, 10, with Bill, 43 — has urged her spouse to put more effort into their relationship as old feelings resurface. 

“I told him, ‘Show that you f—king care.’ Because at this point in my marriage, I’m f—king suffering and I don’t want to turn into Mom,” she tells Steven, acknowledging their mother’s well-documented resentment toward their father. 

“I don’t want to be married 50 years with him and then think that my life passed me by,” she adds. 

In a confessional, Jennifer suggests that her union with Bill could end imminently. 

“I don’t think it’s fair for anybody to stay in a relationship where they’re not happy,” she says. “I’m questioning my marriage, the trust we have for each other and that’s scary for me.”

Bill’s tryst with a pharmaceutical rep has been dissected by the “New Jersey” cast after co-star Margaret Josephs brought it up on the Season 12 premiere. 

Jennifer previously told Page Six in an exclusive interview that she never intended to reveal her sole “skeleton,” but is trying to gain strength from the onscreen scandal. 

“I didn’t want to be the one to bring it up and ever talk about it because that would be at the expense of my children and it wasn’t worth it for me,” she told us in February.

“But since [Margaret] did bring it up and since I do have to talk about it, I’m going to use it as therapy and find it cathartic and therapeutic.”
