Margaret, 51, responded to a fan’s shade on Twitter who claimed that Danielle waiting to go Instagram official with her new man after her divorce was finalized is a classier move than Margaret’s decision to leave her first husband, Jan Josephs, for her current husband, Joe Benigno.

“I just said to her if you’re not totally happy, if someone isn’t totally happy they shouldn’t go through with someone,” she added. “I said that to her, if you’re not completely happy then don’t go through with it.”
