DANIELLE CABRAL BREAKS SILENCE: Left Out of Explosive RHONJ Test Filming But Teases ‘Fresh Start,’ New Faces, and a Shocking Comeback That Could Redefine New Jersey’s Most Chaotic Franchise Forever
Danielle Cabral addressed how her co-stars test-filmed without her, if she thinks they’ll “get it right,” and what she’ll do differently if she returns to Real Housewives of New Jersey.
After a divided season 14, Bravo put the show on pause. But recently, a report claimed Margaret Josephs, Dolores Catania, and Melissa Gorga test-filmed with potential newbies last month.
Speaking to Page Six, Danielle addressed the test filming.
“Yes, they’re putting all the pieces of the puzzle together,” she said. “And I can almost guarantee Jersey fans will not be disappointed. So, just hang tight and I promise you Jersey will deliver.”
Danielle was then asked if she was returning.
“I said no such thing, but we’ll see,” she answered. “You’ll all be happy with how Jersey turns out.” Danielle shared that she recommended some of her friends for the new season.
“When the casting process happens, we always recommend. I’m excited about some of the new faces, and I think it’s about time, baby,” she said. “I think [the season is] going to happen a lot faster than what you guys think. And I really hope to God it’s back to the good old days … That’s what happens in this industry. It’s wait, wait, wait forever, and then boom, you’re up the next day. So, it’s happening.”
Danielle said they don’t know “100 percent” who is returning, but she thinks they’ll “get it right this time,” and there will be a “fresh start.”
In an interview with Us Weekly, Danielle shared more of her thoughts.
“I think we should all be very excited about the test shooting and who they’re potentially looking to add,” she said. “We need fresh. We need new. We need something more than what we were dealing with.”
Danielle claimed that she knows some of the women who test-filmed.
“I’m excited about their potential in the friend group, because they’re cool,” she expressed. “They’re really cool girls … I wasn’t [there], but that’s OK. I think they’re getting it right.”
“If I don’t come back, it was a wild two rides. But if I do, I think you’re gonna see a different Housewife come back,” Danielle explained. “I’m not a deer in headlights, and I know what I signed up for now … Most importantly, I love some of these women on a personal level that I didn’t get to before we were filming. It’s a totally different dynamic.”
According to Danielle, an announcement is “coming soon.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member reveals new details on her relationship with Luis “Louie” Ruelas.
Teresa Giudice and Luis “Louie” Ruelas still have that loving feeling. The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member and her husband have officially been married for three years, and they are sharing some new insight into their relationship.
Teresa and Louie spoke with Miami Vibes Magazine earlier this month, where they opened up about how their love of food has translated to the connection that they share with their children. Teresa is the mom of four daughters that she shares with her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, while Louie has two adult sons with his ex.
“Food is sacred in our house,” they said. “Our moms’ recipes are basically handwritten heirlooms. From arroz con pollo to empanadas, those dishes are our way of saying ‘I love you’ without saying a word. Faith is another big one — we pray together and keep our spiritual roots strong.”
“And we don’t play when it comes to staying connected with family,” they added. “Even if it’s just a group chat full of memes and emojis, we stay in touch.”
Teresa Giudice and Louie Ruelas reveal how they stay grounded in their relationship
Teresa and Louie also shared with the publication how they’re able to stay grounded with their blended family when life seems to be getting out of hand. “We know how to hit pause,” they admitted.
“When it’s family time, phones go down (unless we’re taking cute pics, of course!). The holidays are sacred — we bust out the old-school playlists, cook up cultural classics, and make time to just be us. In the chaos of everything else, our roots ground us,” they added. “They remind us that success doesn’t matter if you forget who you are and where you came from.”
Teresa Giudice and Louie Ruelas reveal how they support each other
They continued, admitting that they’ve also found many ways to support one another. “We’re each other’s hype team, sounding board, and safe space,” they said. “We make it a point to pause — even in the middle of chaos — to check in, show up, and just be real with one another.”
“It’s like a tag team: when one of us needs to hustle, the other steps in and holds it down. We don’t just do life together — we win at life together,” they concluded.
Joe Giudice shares his thoughts on Louie Ruelas
Teresa and Louie’s relationship has even earned the approval of Joe. The dad of four appeared on his oldest daughter Gia Giudice’s podcast on Aug. 18, where he shared his thoughts about Louie.
“He’s a good guy,” Joe said of Louie, noting that anyone who feels differently about him doesn’t “know him like I know him.”
“I think that if they actually met Louie, then they’ll see a different Louie,” he added.
