Danielle Staub, the most colorful of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” came thisclose to living next to frenemy Kim Granatell, a k a “Kim G.” Staub was spotted looking at apartments in luxury high-rise 22 Avenue at Port Imperial in West New York and mingling with residents at their July Fourth party while her Bentley was parked outside. But then Staub was informed that Granatell owned a unit in the building.
“Danielle freaked out,” said a source. “She said they were no longer friends and didn’t want to be living that close to her.” Granatell was said to have found out about Staub’s apartment search after her concierge e-mailed her on Facebook to warn her that Staub was in the building. They were once good friends on the Bravo reality show: Granatell threw Staub a birthday party and came to her aid after run-ins with other “Housewives” castmates. But sources say the two have a “huge fight” in an upcoming episode.
