Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Cabral is far from shy. She is outspoken, gregarious, and fun-loving. While this is her sophomore season on RHONJ, Danielle has been in front of a camera before. In fact, in 2003, she hit the TRL stage and performed for Pop Princess Britney Spears.
Season 14 of Jersey has been a mixed bag for Danielle. Her business, Boujie Kidz, was relaunched. On the negative side, she was involved in a physical altercation with Jennifer Aydin. The incident led to the demise of her friendship with Jennifer, and probably with Teresa Giudice, too. But Danielle will always have TRL.

Danielle recreated her performance for Britney in an Instagram Reel once the original clip resurfaced. In the original video from TRL, Danielle performed an original rap for Britney that covered everything in the pop star’s life. It even referenced her boo, Justin Timberlake, and her infamous fairy tattoo. Danielle sported a red shirt with a picture of Britney on it, pulled up to expose her midriff, a backward baseball cap, and jeans.
“For my idol, the @britneyspears,” Danielle captioned the Reel. “The year was 2003, and @mtv was IT! I was 16, and I was picked to compete on stage for the title of Britney’s #1fan.” Danielle must have been next-level excited. “I cried. I couldn’t believe it!” she wrote.
Danielle continued, “I rushed home and wrote my “rap” on paper and memorized it. Practicing day and night. We filmed in Times Square. My parents weren’t allowed in the studio, so they watched from home.”
At the taping, the RHONJ star couldn’t believe her luck. “I took a deep breath and just went for it. And … I won! I friggin won! THIS was one of the most memorable experiences of my life,” Danielle wrote. “Britney was my idol. She was everything to me!”
Naturally, Danielle referenced the fact that the clip could have been reposted to embarrass her. But not this Jersey girl! “I will cherish this memory for the rest of my life! @britneyspears I will dance with you any day of the friggin week, STILL!” Danielle wrote.

But perhaps the sweetest part of this post was the comment Danielle’s father, Phillip DiPietro, dropped. The two have been slowly working on repairing their relationship. “As her father I was there every nite when she was rehearsing I cannot say it enough how proud I was then and now. You are a beautiful mother, wife, and person,” he wrote. “Keep it real always and may GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WITH HEALTH AND HAPPINESS ALWAYS. I LOVE YOU TO DEATH.”
Hopefully, Danielle and her dad can work out their differences.
