Kim “D” DePaola shared details about the finale altercation allegedly involving Danielle Cabral, saying it was “really bad” and “blew the producers’ minds.” In a recent episode, Danielle first had a physical incident with Jennifer Aydin, who pushed her after Danielle got in her face amid an argument. But according to a trailer, another fight on the season finale was even worse and resulted in broken glass.
Kim, who was once on Real Housewives of New Jersey as Teresa Giudice’s friend (before their bitter falling out), shared what actually caused their feud as Teresa reacted. The stars recently reconciled, surprising many fans.
According to Kim D. on the Miss Understood podcast, the finale altercation was triggered by Jennifer saying something to Danielle about her husband Nate’s “anatomy, saying that he’s got like man boobs.”
“Danielle Cabral picked up a glass pitcher of water and threw it,” claimed Kim. “And It was really shocking.”
“This [fight], I heard, was really bad,” said Kim, via @joyrosenberg on X. “Glass broken. People could have really got hurt. What if glass went in someone’s eye? … Things happened in this finale that blew the producers’ minds.”
She then addressed how the show’s reunion was canceled this season.
“They all expected a check on June 27th to show up at the reunion. It’s a three-part series. What happens is the producers lose a ton. Millions. The editors, the producers, the cast, makeup artists. Everybody loses in this. So [the fight] had to be pretty bad for them to cancel it,” shared Kim.

On Teresa’s Turning The Tables podcast, Kim shared the real reason her friendship ended with Teresa in a past season.
“Back when Teresa and I were filming and she was not getting along with [brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa] and I was on and I was the instigator — you know, we won’t say what I did, but I did a few things,” said Kim, alluding to her exposing rumors about Melissa allegedly working at a ‘strip club’ in the past. “I was told that [after Teresa reconciled with Joe and Melissa], Teresa said, ‘I don’t need Kim D. anymore,’ or, ‘I don’t want her on the show.’ And I got upset and I got mad because now I’m out of a job,” she said. “Rumor was that you didn’t need me because you made up with your family and I was like the troublemaker so you didn’t want the aggravation. That I made you look bad.”
But Teresa denied this.
“If I had control over getting people off the show … I think it’s so obvious who I would get off the show,” she said. “Bravo doesn’t listen to me … If I say I don’t want [someone] on the show … they’ll bring that person on even more.”
