Danielle Cabral speaks up against Rachel and Margaret on RHONJ reunion

Tonight's episode of RHONJ saw cast members reflecting on several issues this season. The ladies opened up about their concerns, but it only led to more arguments and conflicts among them. While some were able to reach some amount of closure, the others only took a turn for the worse.

The official synopsis of the episode, titled Reunion - Part 1, reads:

"Dolores dives deeper into her relationship with Paul; Danielle and Rachel's feud hits a new tipping point; Teresa makes shocking new allegations against Melissa, which places even more strain on the relationship between Gorgas and the Giudices."

RHONJ newcomer Danielle was asked about her relationship with her brother at the reunion. She confessed to planning to meet him the following day at her grandmother's funeral. The housewife also revealed that the Bravo series was her brother's favorite show and it was ironic that he was mentioned here.

Danielle explained that she'd sent dressed to her brother's newborn daughter but it was all eventually returned to her. The star asked fellow castmate Margaret if she knew anything about it, indicating that the latter indeed had an "arsenal" on fellow housewives. Margaret, however, stated that she wished nothing bad on the newbie's family.

RHONJ host Andy Cohen then asked Margaret about her comments during the cast trip to Ireland. The housewife had stated that Danielle will continue to have problems with her brother. Margaret claimed that she was initially very kind to the newbie and even helped with her business, but Danielle "flipped on her like a pancake."

Danielle proceeded to call Margaret and Jackie's "mean girl mentality" for commenting on her fashion choices. She clapped back at Margaret's claims of calling her a "wannabe," and said:

"That's exactly the truth. I "wannabe" nothing like you, so all of you...you can make fun of everything that I wear, how I talk, how I do my hair, fine...it means nothing to me."

Andy then asked the RHONJ newcomer why she left certain situations when she was known to clap back at them. Danielle expressed that she was shocked at how Rachel manipulated what she said about Margaret having an "arsenal" and spun the narrative to the latter. The newbie revealed that she was only relaying Margaret's ex-best friend Laura's comments.

This led to a huge blowout between Danielle and Rachel as the latter was accused of "misrepresenting the situation." Rachel expressed that Danielle never took accountability for her actions, which was part of the problem in her relationship with her brother.

Danielle was outraged at fellow RHONJ newbie.
