Danielle Cabral is under fire after seemingly putting her kids in danger in an effort to drum up votes for The Real Housewives of New Jersey, which was recently nominated for a People’s Choice Award.
After the series was nominated for Reality Show of the Year, along with 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, Below Deck, Jersey Shore Family Vacation, Selling Sunset, The Kardashians, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and Vanderpump Rules, Danielle, 38, took to her Instagram Story, where she posted a “careless and dangerous” video that featured her two children.
“Vote for my mommy,” read a caption on Danielle’s post, which featured her eight-year-old son, Dominic, and six-year-old daughter, Valentina, riding on the roof of her black Cadillac Escalade, waving with their legs inside the sunroof as an unidentified driver honked the horn and drove down a street.
A short time later, after the clip was reshared by All RHONJ Facts on Instagram, Danielle was met with backlash.
After Danielle’s video was reshared, social media users flooded the comments section, where they took aim at her parenting, slamming her for seemingly putting her kids in danger to benefit herself and the show.
“What is wrong with her, putting her own personal agenda before the kids’ safety?” someone asked.
“Woooowwwwww!!!! This is how ‘accidents’ happen,” another person stated.
“Seriously?” added a third person. “This is so dangerous. It doesn’t matter if they’re going 3 mph or 30. They could’ve been seriously hurt. Sis needs a reality check.”
“She’s the most dehydrated risking her children too someone please report this woman for endangering her children,” another noted.
Others questioned why Danielle would put the kids in such a “dangerous situation,” accusing her of going “fast” and spotlighting her “irresponsible” driver.
“How careless and dangerous can parents be? Danielle is so desperate! No wonder her brother wants nothing to do with her! She’s an embarrassment,” proclaimed one particular critic.
“Such irresponsible parents. This is 100% wrong. Where are child services?” wondered someone else.
“Do something. Child services must be called,” another agreed.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime in the coming months.
