Fans slammed Danielle for her comments.

The hit Bravo series has received its fair share of criticism and love over the years it has been on the air. Fans have religiously followed the cast's journey and have expressed their opinions on social media.

Danielle addresses her feelings towards Rachel on RHONJ

Tonight's episode of RHONJ saw the ladies preparing for their trip to Ireland and making the necessary arrangements for the same. The goal was to celebrate Teresa Giudice's bachelorette party but at the same time also have some fun and get away from all of the drama. However, that wasn't possible.

The official synopsis of the episode, titled The Italian Invasion, reads:

"Before the Ireland excursion begins, Melissa hosts a Boujie Kidz pop-up for Danielle; Paul's family gives Dolores advice on how to handle drama in the Emerald Isle; once they've crossed the pond, Teresa's bachelorette party begins."

Ahead of leaving for Ireland in the RHONJ episode, Melissa hosted a pop-up for Danielle's new e-commerce venture at her Envy store. The newcomer felt that the situation was airier after a tense coffee reading that resulted in her feud with fellow newbie Rachel Fuda.

In a previous episode, Danielle spoke to Rachel about how Margaret had an "arsenal" on the fellow cast members, indicating that the star was used to digging up information on the ladies. Rachel relayed the same to Margaret which led to the latter confronting Danielle.

Danielle got into a feud with her fellow RHONJ newcomer as she felt that the latter had twisted her words to ignite a feud between her and Margaret. The newbie also claimed that Rachel had purposefully made it into a terrible situation.

On this week's episode, Danielle addressed her feelings towards Rachel when Melissa asked her how she was feeling. Noting that she was "distraught" by their feud, Danielle said:

"Instead of making the situation better, she continued to go at me and dig at me. She threw me under the bus and I didn't throw anybody under the bus. What I saw that day, I saw a rat that took everything I said, spun it, tried to dig me in a hole and screw my relationship with Margaret."
