Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey

So my roommate and I have repeatedly gotten into arguments over me frequently bringing girls to the apartment and as a result refuses to allow a third roommate to move in which was our original verbal agreement. She is doing it to be spiteful because I can't afford to pay half the rent and utilities. It's a three bedroom apartment. She has the master bedroom with a private bathroom and balcony. Out of anger of having to dip into my savings four months in a row i finally refused to pay more than one hundred a month in utilities. The utilities are only in her name. If we go to court for any reason I understand that both our names are on the lease so we both must go regardless of who is actually refusing to do what. My question is if we go to court do I stand a chance of only her getting evicted? At one point she refused to pay rent and I told the super I would pay the full month to avoid having to go to court. He said he would testify to that fact if we ever went to court. She also verbally threatened to beat up one girl I tried to bring into the apartment with her sisters and physically blocked us from entering. The girl will testify as well. So my question is if we both wind up in court due to failure to pay full utilities what is the most likely scenario?
