RHONJ: Danielle Staub Claims Teresa Giudice Attacked Her With A Fork
Former The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member Danielle Staub is claiming Teresa Guidice stabbed her with a fork during the early seasons of the show. Teresa and Danielle became enemies early on in the Bravo series, sparking a feud that would go down in Real Housewives history. Their feud promoted Teresa, who is engaged to Luis, to infamously flip a table during the season 1 finale, causing Danielle to walk out of the room.
The feud spilled into the second season with that one being Danielle's finale one as a full-time cast member. After many years had passed, Danielle returned to the show for season 8 as a "friend of" so Teresa could try and make amends with her former castmate. The two started a friendship that when on to last for two more seasons; however, it came to an end during the season 10 reunion.
Danielle, who called out Erika Jayne in the new documentary, was confused as to why she could defend herself with her words. "I should be able to say what I want to say and not get physically accosted for it," Danielle concluded. Shortly after this piece from the book was released, Teresa's lawyer James J. Leonard denied the claims, telling People, "This never happened. It is 100 percent pure fiction. If it did happen, you would have seen it or heard about [it] on the show and not in a book 11 years later." Andy Cohen, the reunion host and executive producer for the franchise, doesn't believe Danielle's allegations either claiming Bravo would have used the storyline in the show. "We don’t like it when it gets physical," Andy, who didn't want Bethenny on RHONY, told the author. "We tend to cut away from it. We’ll show that something happens, but we kind of do flashes on the screen."
Danielle has not commented on Teresa or Andy's claims denying her story. However, it seems the former Real Housewives of New Jersey star will not back down on her claim that she was attacked by Teresa that night with a fork. If the accusations are true, it's hard to believe Danielle would want to make amends with her costar so many years later.
