Carlos King believes that Danielle Staub made RHONJ a hit.
“If Danielle Staub was not on Season 1 of ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey,’ [Teresa Giudice’s] table flip would have never happened,” former RHONJ producer King told Page Six.
“[Fans were] seeing this divorcee go through this suburban world in New Jersey where she is the loner amongst a family,” he says. “You had two sisters, a sister-in-law and a family friend. Talk about the odds being against you.
Danielle was on Seasons 1 and 2 of “RHONJ” and later came back to the show as a “friend of” for Seasons 8 through 10.
“She stood on her own,” says King. “Whether or not you disagree with some of her choices, what you must agree on is she is one of the reasons why that show is a hit.”
Is Carlos right? And should Bravo bring Danielle back to the show? Leave us a comment.
