Of all the friendships on The Real Housewives franchise on Bravo, the most surprising one might be Margaret Josephs and Danielle Staub. Fans who have been watching The Real Housewives Of New Jersey from the beginning were definitely shocked to see Danielle return to the show, as she didn't get along with anyone the first time around.
Danielle is known for fighting with Teresa Giudice (who then flipped a table) and for losing her high net worth. While Danielle and Teresa have had a long-running feud, Danielle and Margaret have stopped being friends as well.
Let's take a look at the truth about Danielle Staub and Margaret Josephs friendship today.
No Longer Friends
Margaret Josephs has a $50 million net worth and has talked about some money troubles on RHONJ. She has also been open about her changing friendships.
Margaret Josephs shared she and Danielle are done being friends. As Margaret told Us Weekly, "Never. That ship has sailed and sunk."
In an interview with Life & Style Magazine, Margaret said the same thing. She told the publication,
“You know, rarely do I ever have regrets. I do regret pouring the water on her." Margaret also said,
“In all seriousness, I probably shouldn’t have done that but everything else, I’m fine. I apologize if I do something wrong and mean it!”
Fans remember the wild moment that happened near the end of season 10 of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey. When everyone was shopping, Danielle pulled Margaret's hair. Fans learned that Teresa had told Danielle to do that, but no one could blame Margaret for wondering why Danielle did it.
At a party, Melissa said that she heard that Teresa told Danielle to pull Margaret's hair. At first, Margaret said she didn't think that was true, and Teresa said, "I was drinking and everything happened so fast." Margaret said, "I'm a little freaked out, I'm not gonna lie."
Before the season 9 premiere of RHONJ, Margaret talked about how fans would see her friendship with Danielle change in those episodes. The reality star explained, “I mean we live in the same town, so Starbucks is the central location, and we haven’t had any deep discussion … there hasn’t really been much conversation. But I really, in all honesty, I wish her only good things and I don’t want any ill for anybody, I don’t want anybody’s life to unravel.”
Danielle's Wedding
Weddings are stressful and while it's an honor to be a bridesmaid and stand with a friend on their big day, it can lead to drama and overwhelm.
It turns out that when Danielle and Marty got married, Margaret says that affected their friendship. Margaret talked about Danielle's behavior around her wedding and said, "If it was her first wedding and she was 25, I could have understood it, but I was like, girl. You're all bougie and stuff, hire a wedding coordinator and let them do everything. She expected a lot from us to do things. At that age, who wants all that nonsense? But she wanted the big hoopla, the everything, and she got it," according to Bravotv.com. Margaret also called Danielle "demanding" and "tough." Fans could tell that this was a tough spot for Margaret to be in.
Fans will remember the season 9 episode "Bridezilla of Bimini" when Margaret was definitely having a hard time with her friend's diva-like behavior. Margaret just wanted her friend to be happy and have a nice wedding, but she wasn't interested in so much stress, and fans can understand that.
Danielle and Marty got divorced, and Margaret shared with Us Weekly that she was hopeful that they could have stayed married. When Margaret talks about Danielle, she sounds like she definitely wishes her the best, and it sounds like this friendship has just run its course.
Danielle has recently been in the spotlight for commenting on the trouble that Erika Jayne is dealing with. According to Heavy.com, Danielle appeared in the documentary The Housewife And The Hustler and said of the RHOBH star, "my advice would be to shut up, sit down. Pay attention to what’s going on in your case and don’t worry about TV.”
Andy Cohen wasn't thrilled with that and called it "questionable at best" that Danielle was an "expert" in this documentary.
It looks like this is a friendship that is absolutely over, and it doesn't seem likely that Danielle will return to The Real Housewives Of New Jersey anytime soon, although it would definitely be a dramatic appearance if she did.
