Danielle Cabral, the new addition to The Real Housewives of New Jersey, is experiencing the harsh reality of viewer backlash. After the dramatic events that unfolded during the finale, she is now facing criticism online.
Viewers are accusing Danielle of playing into the hands of Teresa Giudice and Jennifer Aydin, effectively becoming an accomplice in the messy cheating rumor involving Melissa Gorga.
Prior to the season airing, Teresa and Jennifer met with Margaret Josephs’ former best friend, who was ready to reveal everything she claimed Margaret had told her about the cast. According to this jilted friend, someone close to Margaret had allegedly witnessed Melissa engaging in intimate activities with a man who was not her husband.
Armed with this cheating information, Teresa and Jennifer approached Season 13 with different strategies. Teresa opted for a secret mission, calling her brother Joe and informing him about Melissa’s alleged infidelity, with Luis Ruelas supporting her.
On the other hand, Jennifer decided to spill the tea to Danielle, on camera, and then stepped back to observe how it all unfolded.
As the finale approached, Danielle felt burdened by guilt for keeping the secret from Melissa. Consequently, she decided to have a heart-to-heart conversation with Melissa, revealing everything she knew, including the details of the cheating rumor.
However, viewers have not been forgiving. Some have accused Danielle of being played by Jennifer and Teresa, claiming that they manipulated her into bringing out the fabricated gossip. These viewers argue that Danielle should have been aware of the pattern in the show, where Teresa and Jennifer frequently persuade others to do their dirty work.
In the comments section of a photo that Danielle shared on the night of the finale, one commenter speculated about a private investigator that Louie, Teresa’s partner, supposedly had. They suggested that Danielle might be doing their dirty work because she discovered something through the private investigator.
Danielle captioned her Instagram post with the words, “THE FINALE ▪️The moment we’ve ALL waited for.” She acknowledged that there were countless things she could say to justify her actions but opted to let the unfolding story speak for itself.
