I would tend to think that the one showing aggression is doing so because she feels insecure and exposed.

A new kitten, while attracting more of your attention from the others, would probably do nothing but exacerbate the negative behaviors. You didn't mention urine marking, but if that's been a problem, adding a kitten would only make that happen more.

What triggers your cat's jealousy is something that you need to investigate and figure out how to gradually address it.

I'm sure that you cat just needs to feel secure and loved in her own home.

I take it that this is an indoor cat.
