Margaret and Danielle get into a heated argument on RHONJ
Tonight's episode of RHONJ saw the cast members have a fun time partying and drinking at Dolores and boyfriend Paulie's Irish party. However, a rumor about Melissa, which was only talked in smaller circles made its way to the cast, leading to multiple confrontations and conflicts.
The official synopsis of the episode, titled Flappers of Fury, reads:
"Everyone gathers at Paul and Dolores' house for their Irish Prohibition Party, but the night of drinking, gambling and fun quickly goes downhill when a festering secret is finally revealed to Melissa; the Gorgas make a divisive decision."
RHONJ newcomer Danielle was initially conflicted to reveal the rumor to Melissa. She had previously heard it from Jennifer and now decided to tell the Envy founder about the same. Melissa, for her part, confessed to have known about the rumor from her husband Joe Gorga, who she revealed had heard it from his sister Teresa.
Melissa alleged that Teresa called her brother Joe to her house and revealed the rumor. Danielle explained that while she didn't believe the rumor to be true, no one was addressing the messenger of the rumor itself, which was Margaret. The latter kept hearing her name and decided to confront the newcomer.
This led to a heated clash between the two ladies. Margaret accused Danielle of trying to start an issue by naming her as the messenger of the rumor. She slammed the newcomer for stirring up drama, while Danielle expressed that she only told Melissa about the rumor as she was concerned about the latter.
Danielle, however, accused her fellow RHONJ castmate of starting the rumor and wondered why Margaret wasn't getting any of the heat, when she is the one to blame for Melissa's rumor. By the end of the episode, the duo continued to clash and scream at each other, only making the situation worse.
In a confessional, Danielle said:
"I am no longer allowing Margaret to paint me as the bad guy. It's been you all along. And I'm just the person to expose you."
