Way back in Season 1 of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey, Teresa Giudice and Danielle Staub had a blow-up so vicious that nothing on TV has ever been able to match it.
Their fight saw Tre dragged screaming from one of Jersey’s finest restaurants, after flipping a table on Danielle and calling her a “prostitution whore” who “fucked a guy in my house.”
It was a truly iconic moment in Housewives history.
They mended their friendship after years apart, but now it seems they’re on the outs again, with reports that they have unfollowed each-other on social media and are “no longer speaking.”
This week, various RHONJ cast members and production sources spoke to the media about the feud, hinting that some serious drama might go down in Season 10 of the show.
Someone close to the network told US Weekly that “by the end of the season, there was a lot of finger pointing between Teresa and Danielle and it led to their falling out.”
The source also claimed that there was an “ugly” case of “she said-she said” between them.
Is this Bravo‘s way of teasing some kind of big Teresa vs Danielle confrontation in episodes to come? If so, then please, sign me the fuck up.
In case you somehow missed it, this is what happened between Teresa Giudice and Danielle Staub in the Season 1 episode appropriately titled ‘The Last Supper‘:
Amazingly, the two made up, and Danielle returned in a friend-of-the-housewives capacity on Season 8. Given recent developments, though, that uneasy peace seems to be over now.
Per reports in Hollywood Life, the other cast members have been “begging” producers to cut Danielle loose since she and Tre fell out. A source told that publication:
“Teresa Giudice has no interest in being friends with Danielle Staub again as she feels like she violated her trust. Teresa was the one to end the friendship and the cast is so happy and relieved. It was really hard for Teresa to even let Danielle back into her life, but Teresa grew a lot as a person while she was away [in prison] and when she found out they were going to be working together again, gave her another chance.”
The source continued:
“She was always defending Danielle to the other women which created other strains in her friendships. Teresa makes her own mind up about people, but she probably won’t be forgiving Danielle again anytime soon.”
Earlier this week, Teresa’s sister-in-law Melissa Gorga spoke to US Weekly, hinting that some kind of confrontation might be on the cards.
“Oh my god, the drama,” she said, refusing to go into detail about what happened, but hinting that she herself “might have something to do” with it. “You will have to tune in to see,” she said.
Well-played, Melissa.
So are we headed for Prostitution Whore: Part Two next season or what? My body is truly beyond ready to find out.
