Danielle Staub Officially Announces Her Departure From RHONJ; Says She Will “Never Be Returning As A Housewife Again”

Danielle Staub officially announces her departure from The Real Housewives of New Jersey during last night’s appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, adding that she will “never be returning as a housewife again.”

“I will be never returning as a Housewife again with the Jersey girls,” she told Andy Cohen on Wednesday night's episode of the late-night talk show. “I have, over the past 12 years and 10 seasons, been a part of this whole franchise and I’ve been very happy to rally and stand on a platform and be here with all of you. But it is time for me to leave and do something that I want to do that makes my heart happy every day.”



Cohen was shocked by Danielle’s decision, noting he “didn’t expect” her to use the word never. He added: “This is entirely your move.”

Danielle originally starred on RHONJ as a full-time Housewife for seasons 1 and 2. After rekindling her friendship with Teresa Giudice in 2016, Danielle returned in a “friend” role for seasons 8, 9 and 10.
