RHONJ: Teresa supported Danielle over Margaret – but for what reason?

The conclusion of the RHONJ hair pull heard around New Jersey aired and Teresa Giudice made her side of the argument known…and it didn’t go well.

Margaret Josephs and Danielle Staub had been in a heated argument in the Steven Dann boutique when Margaret dumped water on Danielle’s “very expensive” outfit.  In retaliation, Danielle put Margaret’s purse contents into a $600 hand-painted candle and yanked her ponytail as she walked by.  It was clear after last week that Danielle had no remorse about her actions during her time on RHONJ, but she doubled down on that this week.

The upscale boutique turned into a scene reminiscent of the watering hole scene in Mean Girls.  Teresa Giudice immediately stood up for Danielle and ran out of the boutique with her.  Viewers, and other cast members, were shocked to see that Teresa would support such behavior.  Teresa claims that Margaret came between Danielle and her 21st suitor/husband/boyfriend/landlord and Margaret’s friend, Marty Caffrey.

Melissa yelled at Teresa, “Teresa that’s just unacceptable!”  Jennifer Aydin stepped in to agree with her.  Since when is Margaret not a friend of Teresa’s?  It really is interesting that Teresa is so hell-bent on defending Danielle…it seems like Danielle might have something on Teresa.  Dolores Catania brought up an interesting point about the physical nature of this interaction.  She said that Teresa of all people should know that it just isn’t worth the potential consequences.

Danielle went on What Happens Live with Andy Cohen after the episode to announce she would never be back on the show.  But what is Teresa going to do without Danielle?  Teresa has certainly been back to her old antics this season.  She even threw a glass and threw water on Jennifer last night!  Is Teresa simply securing her spot on RHONJ forever?

If Danielle is never returning to the show as she stated, who will have her back after this?  Now I just need Danielle to share the dirt she has on Teresa…
