Caroline Manzo may no longer be starring on the Real Housewives of New Jersey, but that doesn’t mean she’s completely out of the loop regarding the show.
The RHONJ OG is currently connected to the show via her step-niece, Danielle Cabral, who joined the show, along with fellow newbie Rachel Fuda, during season 13.
Now, Caroline is dishing on Danielle joining RHONJ and her budding friendship with Caroline’s former friend and co-star, Teresa Giudice.
On David Yontef’s Behind the Velvet Rope podcast, Caroline reveals that she hasn’t talked to Danielle since the 37-year-old joined RHONJ last year.
Caroline explained:
Interestingly enough, the last time Caroline Manzo heard from her was when she was cast, and of course, I had spoken to Andy [Cohen] prior [to recommending her].”
“And she was cast, and then I think they introduced her to Teresa. She hit it off with Teresa. That’s the last time I heard from her.”
According to Caroline, Teresa and Danielle are cut from the same cloth.
Danielle has “got a lot of Teresa in her,” Caroline Manzo notes, adding that these days she doesn’t really think about Teresa all that much. She adds that she highly doubts Teresa thinks of her either before pointing out that their drama happened so long ago.
The mom of three shared:
“I don’t think either of us even think about each other. Again, it’s so far in my rearview mirror. I could sit in a room with her and have no problem. It’s not that I’m gonna be knocking on anybody’s door to do so, but I could do it … You gotta shake off the little things and just say, okay, I’m gonna leave you back there. So she is back there, and I would assume that I am in the same place in her world.”
RHONJ airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.
