Real Housewives of New Jersey: Danielle’s 12 years on the show

The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion is finally over and Danielle Staub finally came out to defend her terrible actions.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion finally came to an end last night with more discussion about Teresa Giudice and Joe Giudice.  Andy asked all kinds of questions about how Teresa and Joe were dealing with things.  Joe Gorga was pretty vocal that he didn’t appreciate how Joe acted during the interview with Andy Cohen straight out of jail, and that he didn’t even apologize for everything.  They managed to slip in the “my [expletive] wife” clip from season one again.

Danielle Staub finally made an appearance after lurking in the wings for the last two episodes.  She did not get her seat next to Andy but got a seat alone on the end by Jennifer Aydin.  For the record, the lighting on her is awful. Danielle placed the blame on Margaret Josephs for all of the hair-pulling.  Danielle said it was just a reaction to Margaret being a “loose cannon.”

Teresa claimed she didn’t realize how hard Danielle pulled Margaret’s hair or she would not have stood up for her.  Apparently, after everyone was able to watch the episode, it brought all of the feelings flooding back.  Margaret wanted to know why Teresa hadn’t reached out to her at all after it aired.  The most shocking part of Danielle’s appearance was how quiet Jennifer was the entire time.  She didn’t make a peep!

Danielle posted on her Instagram that she “resigned not to return” to the show.  She’s very busy cooking in Marty’s kitchen.  

The cherry on top of a one-off-reunion appearance was when Danielle said she was important because she was on the show for 12 years.  Seeing that this is the tenth season of RHONJ, I am questioning what show she’s been on for 12 years.  But Danielle is forever a legend in her own little mind – the star of every show!

The Real Housewives of New Jersey will be back later this year!
