“Teresa recently met up with Danielle alone near Teresa’s home and Teresa was honest with her and let her know that the other women have been saying not the nicest of things about her,” a source told HollywoodLife.
Apparently, Staub was not invited to Melissa Gorga‘s fashion show and Teresa was allegedly seen throwing a glass of water while discussing and defending Danielle with co-star Jennifer Aydin. The two were apparently discussing an argument that happened between Staub and cast mate Margaret Josephs last season and Teresa allegedly threw the water to make a point about some wine that was thrown during Danielle and Margaret’s altercation on the cast trip to Mexico, reports the outlet.
“Teresa feels like Danielle really needs to be defended which is why things got so heated at the Envy Fashion Show,” the source continued. “It’s a huge premise of drama this season — The tension with Danielle.”
“One thing about Teresa is she will tell it to you straight and she thinks that the women bad mouthing Danielle is unnecessary, so she felt like she should take her out, sit her down and tell her what happened at the fashion show since she wasn’t invited and let her know what was going on,” the source explained. “Teresa felt like she should tell her everything. They say some pretty harsh things about her and the only one who really likes her is Teresa. A lot of them have even unfollowed her on social media. Danielle‘s feelings are pretty hurt as Danielle is a sensitive girl.”
“The other ladies feel Danielle causes drama and is essentially brainwashing Teresa,” the source told HollywooodLife. “They also feel like since she isn’t a full-time housewife anymore that she shouldn’t be coming around as much. It’s really driven a giant wedge in the cast, however, it’s making for great TV for the upcoming season.”
Meanwhile, Aydin recently called Giudice her “hero” for how she’s handling things as her husband, Joe Giudice's deportation case.
“She’s my hero — in a way that after everything she’s going through,” she told Us Weekly. “She’s still putting on a brave face and still being the best mom she can be, being the best wife that she could be under the circumstances, being a daughter to her father, being a sister to her brother.”
Aydin added that Teresa is doing everything she can for her family. “Anybody else could’ve broken down so easy, and she’s still paying the bills, she’s still working, she’s going on appearances,” Jennifer explained to Us Weekly. “People think she’s gallivanting all around doing vacations – she’s not! She’s not. She’s working. She’s putting food on the table for her children — that’s what a mama bear does.”
