Even though Danielle Cabral has been a Real Housewives of New Jersey star for the last two seasons, the mother of two still has to pinch herself. The Staten Island native has definitely added to the drama in the Garden State thanks to her feud with Jennifer Aydin. In the two seasons that she has been a housewife regular, she has garnered massive support from fans.

Danielle is one of the louder RHONJ stars who, at one point, seemed to be friends with everyone. Thanks to her honesty, she was a breath of fresh air for the last two seasons. After her premiere season, Danielle sided with Teresa Giudice and Jennifer, thinking they were the best team to bet on. But she quickly learned that her friends were not ones to be trusted. After getting burned by Jen and Tre, Danielle moved away from them in order to try and befriend the rest of the cast. She made the switch without malice and showed fans she was willing to be a team player.
Danielle Cabral is a RHONJ fan-favorite
After joining Season 13, Danielle quickly became a fan favorite. The Bravo star was young and new and had opinions, so it was easy to like her. She was relatively normal compared to some of the other Real Housewives stars. The Bougie Kids owner didn’t pretend to be someone she wasn’t and turned out to be pretty relatable. Danielle didn’t wear faux designers or brag about her wealth; she just lived her life as a normal mother and wife.
What is so great about Danielle is that she embraces her family life. She must be one of the only Garden State housewives who has a strong marriage. Watching her and Nate Cabral interact was actually enjoyable, as he supported her every step of the way. Even her family drama with her brother and father was interesting and did not involve any over-the-top storyline. When it came to Danielle, I wanted to hear more of her story. And that couldn’t be said for everyone on the cast.
Is Danielle Cabral an imposter?
Danielle opened up during her sit-down on the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast about her struggle with “imposters syndrome.” Over the two seasons, Danielle has experienced a lot of love from fans. But she can’t always kick the feeling that she doesn’t fit in. According to D, the love and support from viewers, especially after her altercation with Jen, was “so awesome.” But Danielle revealed some interesting information, noting, “I suffer from imposter syndrome where I feel like I still don’t belong. So when I get the love from the fans, oh my God, I love it.”
The former MTV True Life star revealed that she never thought she would become a Real Housewives of New Jersey star, sharing that she assumed this path wasn’t in her cards. The fashionista shared, “One reason why I said I can’t do the show is the main reason everybody loves me, and it’s because I’m just like them. They see a little bit of themselves.”
Danielle Cabral talks Jennifer Aydin
Danielle became irate during the Off the Rails episode when Jen poked fun at her husband. In a fit of fury, she chose to lunge across the table. Danielle shared with podcast listeners that she should have known better than to let her anger get the best of her. She noted, “You know the saying ‘words hurt just as much?’ The words that cut like a knife, sometimes it’s worse.” Trolls had been posting unflattering photos of her husband, Nate, which body shamed him before Season 14 got underway.
So, at that moment during the season finale, Danielle realized that Jen had been pushing the bloggers to release the story. Danielle revealed, “When she said that to me, in that split second, I was like, ‘Oh my God. It was you.’” Jen and Teresa have been accused of giving multiple storylines and rumors to bloggers to secure their place in the series. However, the Real Housewives of New Jersey has been put on pause due to the cast’s unfriendly nature with one another.
Don’t worry, Danielle, you’re not an imposter. You fit right in with the chaos!
Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently streaming on Peacock.
