Danielle Cabral addressed how her co-stars test-filmed without her, if she thinks they’ll “get it right,” and what she’ll do differently if she returns to Real Housewives of New Jersey.

After a divided season 14, Bravo put the show on pause. But recently, a report claimed Margaret Josephs, Dolores Catania, and Melissa Gorga test-filmed with potential newbies last month.

Speaking to Page Six, Danielle addressed the test filming.

“Yes, they’re putting all the pieces of the puzzle together,” she said. “And I can almost guarantee Jersey fans will not be disappointed. So, just hang tight and I promise you Jersey will deliver.”

Danielle was then asked if she was returning.

“I said no such thing, but we’ll see,” she answered. “You’ll all be happy with how Jersey turns out.” Danielle shared that she recommended some of her friends for the new season.

“When the casting process happens, we always recommend. I’m excited about some of the new faces, and I think it’s about time, baby,” she said. “I think [the season is] going to happen a lot faster than what you guys think. And I really hope to God it’s back to the good old days … That’s what happens in this industry. It’s wait, wait, wait forever, and then boom, you’re up the next day. So, it’s happening.”

Danielle said they don’t know “100 percent” who is returning, but she thinks they’ll “get it right this time,” and there will be a “fresh start.”

In an interview with Us Weekly, Danielle shared more of her thoughts.

“I think we should all be very excited about the test shooting and who they’re potentially looking to add,” she said. “We need fresh. We need new. We need something more than what we were dealing with.”

Danielle claimed that she knows some of the women who test-filmed.

“I’m excited about their potential in the friend group, because they’re cool,” she expressed. “They’re really cool girls … I wasn’t [there], but that’s OK. I think they’re getting it right.”

“If I don’t come back, it was a wild two rides. But if I do, I think you’re gonna see a different Housewife come back,” Danielle explained. “I’m not a deer in headlights, and I know what I signed up for now … Most importantly, I love some of these women on a personal level that I didn’t get to before we were filming. It’s a totally different dynamic.”

According to Danielle, an announcement is “coming soon.”
