Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice’s explosive backyard argument went on for much longer than what was shown on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” newbie Danielle Cabral tells Pvnew.
While giving us an exclusive tour of her home in the latest episode of our new video series, “24 Hours,” Cabral spilled some behind-the-scenes insight into the duo’s fight that set the tone for the rest of Season 13.
“Do you know what this spot is right here?” she asked host Danny Murphy before recounting how Gorga and Giudice got into a major blowup over the latter’s engagement party — where the Gorgas felt purposely snubbed from the family table.
“That actually went on for two hours,” Cabral, 37, revealed of the fight that lasted for a few minutes on the show.
The Staten Island native said Giudice, 51, and Gorga, 44, were going at it for so long she couldn’t help but zone out.
Luckily, Agostino Fresh Mozz Co. was busy creating delicacies as the sisters-in-law were screaming, so she had something else to focus on.
“Right there is where Jenn Fessler shoved the mozzarella in her mouth,” the new Housewife cheekily pointed out. “Like, shoved the mozzarella in her mouth.”
“She let her emotions out on the mozzarella.”
Fessler’s iconic mozzarella moment became meme’d instantly by fans (Pvnew included) all over the world, but Cabral felt like it was actually a metaphor.
“What she was doing by shoving [it in her mouth] is what we were all feeling — chaos,” Cabral joked.
“You can’t have ‘RHONJ’ without a little chaos!”
Gorga and Giudice’s backyard tiff was just one of many arguments that occurred between the estranged in-laws over the years.
In fact, their feud culminated into a reunion so explosive that Peacock even ran the unedited version for fans to watch.
Cabral, who is close with both Giudice and her husband, Luis Ruelas, recently defended the controversial couple’s marriage amid criticism from other members of the cast.
“[Luis] is so amazing. You know, so it’s a hard world to hear people talk bad,” Cabral said on Pvnew’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast in May.
The family drama between the Giudices and Gorgas resulted in Season 14 of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” being put on pause, Pvnew exclusively reported that same month.
Pvnew confirmed last week, however, that filming will resume in August and the entire cast will be returning for the next season.
