“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Danielle Cabral, 38, has not spoken to her reality show co-star Teresa Giudice, since they finished filming Season 14 in Oct. 2023, according to Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast, saying her co-star is “very cold.”
“We talked all the way up to the holidays and then something happened and I decided to back away,” said Cabral, underscoring their altercation happened “off camera.” The former Staten Islander is keeping mum of their about their fallout, saying: “I want to keep that to myself.”
The ladies first locked horns when Cabral joined the show in Season 13 (Feb. 2023). The pair reconciled for second season, with Cabral saying: “We just said, ‘OK, let’s start from the ground up again,’ and it’s nice. We have a great friendship and the things that annoyed me or, like, really turn me off about her last year, it’s endearing this year. We say, like, we’re fire and ice.”
The Boujie Kidz founder plans to re-visit the address the situation with Giudice, 51, when the “RHONJ” reunion is taped in the near future. Cabral is a very outspoken personality, even sharing the details of her tummy tuck in April 2024.
“The Real Housewives of New Jersey” airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

OTHER DANIELLE CABRAL DRAMA
Last month, Cabral shared an update on social media about the physical brawl between her and another co-star, Jennifer Aydin, that landed both of them in suspension from the popular reality show.
About the June 23 RHONJ episode, she said: “For a year, we sat back in silence as the lies spread like wildfire. Hit after hit – lie after lie. But we held onto our truth and knew our day was coming.”
The episode showed the two housewives coming to physical blows with one another while enjoying a Tulum-themed party: “Trust me when I tell you, Tulum was the tip of the iceberg…@bravotv,” Cabral added.
According to E! News, Cabral and Aydin argued at the party over their hairdressers, with a furious Cabral hurling insults at Aydin, saying: “You’re dirty. Everybody was right about you. You’re a piece of s–t. I see you, you’re a f–king dirtbag.”
The shocking verbal exchange culminated in Aydin pushing Cabral, to which Cabral reacted by smashing of a plastic cup in Aydin’s face, leaving the other RHONJ stars in disbelief as the fight was broken up.
Cabral seems to have no regrets about her actions, either, adding, “‘The lies are always loud. The truth is always silent.’ Silence is powerful.” Cabral and Aydin were suspended over the shocking Sept. 21 incident.
