While she doubts Deena will be getting into any Jersey Shore-style fights, the pal maintains that Deena will do what she must to stick up for the people she cares about.
“She was always a really good friend to me. She has drama in her life but she doesn’t usually throw a punch,” the pal said. “She is a good friend and if there was a fight she’d want to defend her fellow castmates. She would back away from her own fight but with cameras on you can never guess what people are going to do to defend their friends.”
