When interviewing Danielle, 38, separately at another event, she agreed with her co-star and shed some light on what went down.
"I'm going to let that unfold because 100 percent I had to pack my patience for a long time waiting for this story to unfold, to be honest with you.
"The rumors are 95 percent not true. So my patience has been packed for a very long time and I'm waiting for season 14 to air," she spilled to The U.S. Sun while hosting Kevin Kelly Salon's 4th annual fashion show brunch last month.
"But I could say, for me, it was very surprising. For the viewers and fans of Housewives, it's not surprising. They already knew what kind of person I was dealing with."

News broke at the end of September 2023 that the two Jersey girls got into a physical altercation at Teresa Giudice's Tulum-themed cast party.
"Jennifer pushed Danielle during the argument and Danielle retaliated by crumpling her plastic cup and hurling it towards Jennifer’s face, drawing blood," a source told Page Six.
The "bloody" fight reportedly led to them being suspended from filming for a few days before resuming.
Danielle told The U.S. Sun she has "no regrets" about what went down.

"No, I have no regrets about anything I've done," she revealed.
"The only regret is that I wish my emotions wouldn't be as strong as they are, but that makes me who I am and I'm not going to apologize for who I am."

CHANGE IN FRIENDSHIPS
This season, Bravo fans will see a "change in dynamics and friendships," as teased by Melissa Gorga.
Danielle, for her part, reportedly gets closer to "Team Melissa," especially after her fight with Jennifer, who is on "Team Teresa."
"I would say dynamics shifted, yes. Everybody's like, 'Oh, you're team this, you're team that.' Wait for the story to unfold. That's all I can really say," Danielle told The U.S. Sun when asked if it was true about her "switching" teams.
Season 13's finale got very heated after Danielle attempted to confront Melissa about a rumor she heard about her allegedly being caught kissing another man who wasn't husband Joe Gorga.

But, it took a turn for the worse and ended with a screaming match between the two ladies, as well as Margaret, Teresa and her husband, Luis "Louie" Ruelas.
Margaret recently confessed to The U.S. Sun, "I think I always liked Danielle. I think I tried to talk to her last year [and] things went awry.
"Obviously, we all saw what happened and I think she realized that we were just being very authentic and real with her when we were trying to say things to her. So I think that we work things out much better."
Meanwhile, Melissa also told The U.S. Sun in a recent interview: "I love Dolores [Catania], I love Margaret and I love Rachel [Fuda].
"I mean, I am getting to know Danielle a lot better this year. She seems like a really down to earth, awesome person. So I am also forming new friendships, which I'm happy about."
'NOT BOTHERED'
The U.S. Sun caught up with Danielle in September following the altercation with Jennifer, 47, as she hosted her brand Boujie Kidz's relaunch party in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
Jennifer was not in attendance, but the majority of the cast was, including rivals Melissa and Teresa.
"I'm sure they had knots in their stomach, but I was fine. That didn't bother me," she said in her interview that took place at Piazza Di Roma for a Vegas-themed fashion show that benefited Hazlet Hope.
"When you think of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, you think of obviously the Teresa and Melissa feud. But from my experience, I thought we did a pretty good job of filming with them separated.
"It was way more other stuff going on, to be honest with you."
"But when you have the two headliners not talking... who are getting paid as much as they are, of course Bravo is going to be like, 'What's going on here?' But I thought it was fine."
FEELING CONFIDENT
All in all, Danielle said that her growth this season is "unbelievable" and she's "excited" for her story to be shown, especially since just joining the cast in season 13.
She's also feeling confident in her skin more than ever now since undergoing a tummy tuck in June 2023.
"I walk around naked. My husband [Nate Cabral's] like, 'I don't know why we didn't do this sooner,' because I look in the mirror and I'm so happy. I really am. I'm the happiest," she gushed.
The children's clothing designer went on to say that "there's nothing else" she wants to get done in terms of more beauty treatments.
"I'm good. I feel confident. I don't need to lose anymore. I am totally happy," she added.
Even a member of her glam squad, celebrity hairstylist Kevin Kelly, revealed to The U.S Sun, "I'm just looking forward to seeing Danielle blossom on her own.
