'Real Housewives of New Jersey': Danielle says Teresa told her to pull Margaret's hair, is this why they fought?

Teresa and Danielle started off as great friends but over the years the two housewives fell apart

Former 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Danielle Staub and Teresa Giudice started off as great friends, but over the years the two housewives fell apart and gave us the legendary table-flip scene. However, Season 10 saw Teresa and Danielle closer than ever. The two ladies had each other’s back even in the face of adversity.

For instance, when all the housewives ganged up against Danielle when she dragged Margaret Josephs by the hair to the door, only Teresa took Danielle's side and defended her, much to Margaret's dismay.

Watching Teresa defend her former enemy so fiercely, we began wondering why the housewife was being so nice to Danielle. We think we may have the answer now. On the latest 'Watch What Happens Live' episode, Andy Cohen gave us a brief sneak-peek of the upcoming 'RHONJ' episode. The clip shows Melissa Gorga and Danielle talking. We see Melissa making it clear to Danielle that none of the ladies want anything to do with her after what she did to Margaret.

The former housewife looks surprised and asks if that included Teresa. Melissa shoots down Danielle's question by saying Teresa is in no state of mind to make any decisions.

This is when Danielle left everybody shocked when she revealed that Teresa had asked her to pull Margaret's hair. She goes on to explain that on the day the event was organized by Teresa, Margaret was talking ill of Danielle. When Teresa heard it, she apparently urged Danielle to go after Margaret and also gives her blessings for the infamous ponytail-pulling incident. Melissa looked as shocked as us, while Danielle looked smug after revealing the hot tea.
 
Now that Danielle has thrown Teresa under the bus, we wonder if this is what led to the fallout between the two ladies. In an interview, Teresa revealed that though Danielle and she started off on great terms this season, they ended on a bitter note. HollywoodLife reported that an incident that took place during the filming of the season involving Melissa, Teresa and Danielle, caused the fallout between Teresa and Danielle. This makes us wonder if Danielle blaming Teresa for pulling Margaret's hair is what led the OG housewife to throw away her friendship with Danielle.
 
Do you think Danielle is telling the truth about Teresa? Let us know.

You can catch all new episodes of 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 10, every Wednesday at 8pm on Bravo.
