Danielle Cabral‘s brother, Thomas DiPietro, is reportedly refusing to reconcile with her unless she agrees to undergo a “mental evaluation.”

According to a new report, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, who addressed her family feud with Thomas and his wife on a March episode of the RHONJ: After Show, has remained on the outs with Thomas since exposing their drama on season 13.

After admitting on the After Show what many viewers think she’s a “psychopath sister-in-law” who “tortured her sister-in-law,” Danielle said she hoped that sharing her side of the story would lead to a reunion between her and Thomas.

“That [was] my only hope. But right now, it’s not looking too good,” she stated. “My goal was for them to watch and hopefully think, ‘Wow, maybe she’s really hurting.’”

Danielle also said Thomas was “not happy” about being discussed on RHONJ.

“I’m hearing he’s obviously not happy [about] the stuff I said about [his wife]. I’ve read comments here and there, obviously from her family and friends or his family and friends, like just saying horrible mean things,” she revealed.

Months later, amid filming on the new season of RHONJ, an insider is claiming Danielle is a pathological liar who Thomas will never move forward with until she gets help.

“Danielle Cabral loves to get everything for freeee. She thinks [because] she’s posting on her IG story, she should be paid. When she was younger, she would latch on to anyone who was working in the entertainment world. She’s [pathetic] and [pathological]. If she agrees to a mental evaluation, there may be a chance her brother will talk to her again. She has to be the first to make the move and seek help,” the insider told All About the Real Housewives on September 9, noting that Thomas and his wife “[hate] attention.”

“It’s honestly not worth it to them. They tried to help her. She only reacted more insane,” the source continued, then taking aim at Danielle’s husband.

“[Nate Cabral] is a beta. Sweet guy, but it takes a special type a dude to be with that one,” they explained. “If Tommy won’t speak to his own mother, Danielle doesn’t stand much of a shot. If I ever see Tommy on TV, I would be shocked to death.”

As for what prompted Danielle and Thomas’ falling out, which Danielle previously blamed on an Instagram spat, the insider said it had to do with Thomas’ wedding.

“She wanted to brand his wedding on Instagram and he and his wife said no. She just lost her grandmother and it was an extra tough time for them and Danielle wouldn’t let up,” the source shared. “That’s just the straw that broke the [camel’s] back.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime in early 2024.
