Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ) stars sat down for the After Show special to discuss all the drama that transpired in this week's episode. The cast members were seen spending quality time with each other while involving themselves in conflicts, confrontations, and fights over impending issues, personal relationships, family dynamics, and more.
RHONJ newcomer Danielle Cabral displayed her e-commerce venture Boujie Kidz at Melissa Gorga's Envy boutique. The latter helped the newbie by displaying her kids clothes in the store. Many friends, family members, and acquaintances were seen shopping at the store.
In the After Special, Danielle, however, maintained that Melissa hadn't paid her for one of the Boujie Kidz outfits she'd purchased. She said:
"She took an outfit and never paid me for it. Literally all my friends bought thousands of dollars [worth of items] from her store. And I know she's gonna say, "Well I helped you." But in reality, she made a lot of money of all the people that I brought into the store that day."
Fans slammed Danielle for her comments. They felt that the newcomer should've been thankful to Melissa for promoting her store. One tweeted:
RHONJ fans react to Danielle's revelations in the After Show special
In the RHONJ special clip, Jennifer asked Danielle if Melissa volunteered to pay for the outfit. The newbie, however, maintained that she was never paid by the latter.
Melissa claimed that Danielle had gifted her the dress in a separate clip. Rachel, a fellow newbie, reminded her that the three-piece suit was something she had bought for a newborn baby. It struck back at Melissa's memory when the newcomer revealed it was a $25 outfit.
Danielle, for her part, said:
"So if she ever comes out and says "I did a really big favor by putting you on Envy and putting you on my platform," thank you but I really didn't get any sales from you promoting me."
The RHONJ newcomer also noted that one of her friends confessed to spending a total of $700 at the Envy store as a favor to Danielle. The latter pointed out that "favor goes both ways." She also was a "1000% sure" that Melissa made more profits than her.
Fans took to social media to express their opinions on the issue. They slammed Danielle for her comments and asked her to recognize that Melissa did help her promote her outfits and the business in general.
Check out what they have to say.

Other ladies dish on the RHONJ episode
Jennifer Fressler opened up about being intimate with Tony Soprano actor James Gandolfini. The other ladies called her a "wild animal" and noted that the experience was definitely bucket-list worthy.
Meanwhile, the cast dished on Jennifer, accepting that she'd previously called the psychic coffee reader to update her about the cast dynamics. In a previous RHONJ episode, the coffee reader read the ladies' future prospects out of a coffee cup. The accuracy of the reading made the cast members doubt Jennifer may have called her up previously.
In the After Special episode, Margaret called out Jennifer for not having any "shame or sense of pride." The latter, for her part, noted that although she'd update the coffee reader on a few details, she didn't remember saying a lot.
While a few RHONJ ladies found the situation funny, others only wondered why Jennifer would go to the extent of calling a coffee reader and updating details about the cast.
Season 13 of RHONJ has been an interesting and intense watch so far. The coming weeks will document the ladies' stay in Ireland and the drama surrounding Teresa's wedding, strained friendships, and a lot of heated arguments. Viewers will have to stay tuned to witness it all.
RHONJ airs every Tuesday at 9 pm ET on Bravo.
