LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Jennifer Aydin faced sharp criticism for a heated exchange at BravoCon in Las Vegas. During the event, an attendee came on stage and asked Aydin if she thought she could get any closer to Teresa Giudice.

“Do you think you could crawl any further up Teresa Giudice’s a**?” the fan said.

Aydin, 46, swiftly defended herself as the crowd erupted with enthusiasm, responding, "First of all, let me enlighten you." She then asserted, "Good friends support each other all the time, and she supports me too," while referring to Giudice.

As the fan appeared to be leaving, Aydin playfully called out to him, saying, "Hey! Hey, big boy with the big mouth. Teresa's got something to say to you."

In a quick retort, the fan said, "Teresa, I wasn't talking to you. Sit down." This led to a banter between the TV star and the fan at BravoCon.
