Margaret Josephs On Throwing Wine At Danielle Staub: “It Felt So Good”

Margaret Josephs is spilling the tea about her ongoing feud with Danielle Staub. If you recall, during Wednesday night's episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, the two went at it after Staub brought up Josephs estranged relationship with her stepchildren, causing Margaret to throw wine at Danielle.

So how did Margaret feel about throwing wine at Danielle during their cast trip in Mexico. “It felt so good,” Margaret told Entertainment Tonight. “It felt so good. I didn't break glass! But I threw a drink.”

“I didn’t even want to engage with Danielle, but she was pushing, pushing,” Margaret says. “She was telling me what a bad mother I am, 'Your children don't want to be around you.' People don't realize I have more than two children. I have endless children. [My husband, Joe Benigno] has two kids that I'm stepmother to, that I'm very close with. I have a natural born child that I don't speak about, which Danielle knows about. I have another stepson that's been on the show with me this year. So, there's, like, six in total.”

“She knows that I'm around my kids,” she continues. “So, to make up lies and make it out like I'm a horrible mother … I was like, 'You know what? You need to cool off. You're just being an a**. You're saying something purposely to hurt me. I'm gonna have to put you in your place.'"

“It was such an artful way, ‘cause, you know, I don't drink alcohol, so I had to take Dolores [Catania's] drink,” Margaret recalls of the moment. “I had to take her red wine and it just went across the table so effortlessly and Teresa [Giudice] was wearing white and I didn't even get it on her, it only got on Danielle. It was just so artfully done. I was so proud of myself at the end of it.”



Margaret says after the wine toss, RHONJ turns into a “scene out of The Godfather.”

“[Danielle] tried to break a glass on my head!” Margaret claims. “I just, like, leave. I go up this big marble staircase with my flowing dress. [Danielle’s] like a lobster in a pot, arms flailing. Security comes, the glasses start breaking, screaming. It was insane.”

She added: “‘Cause, you know, a glass breaks, Melissa’s like, 'Who broke the glass? Who broke the glass?'” Margaret told Entertainment Tonight. “She's like, 'Jennifer [Aydin], did you throw a glass and almost cut me?' And Jennifer cracks a glass and says to Melissa, 'You know, if I broke a glass… you know, if I was gonna cut you...' Like what is that about? That was, like, a threat...Melissa's like, 'Oh no! You didn't do that to me!'”

Maragret reveals following that fight, the group divided and most of them didn't talk to each other. “We left that trip, we weren't talking, we were on different flights,” Margaret reveals, referencing the entire group. “We didn't want to speak to each other. Everybody was like, 'I'm outta here.'”
