Family or not, all of the others on the show could not be wrong about you, and you be the only one telling the truth. You have serious issues and I can only hope that you seek and find professional help. No one could be happy being as bitter as you are. Reach out and get some help, if not to make your life better to make your childrens lives better.

This is for the "Viewer" from 8-15-09. I'm sure there are alot of people that would say something to Danielle if they met her face to face. Danielle has gone on TV in front of alot of people. That, in itself, has put her out there for all to see and judge. The producers have gotten what they wanted, lots of publicity. You are the one that needs to smarten up or grow up as you have put it.

It has always been my firm belief that there are 3 sides to a story, yours, theirs and the truth which always comes out in the end. I believe in the end, viewers will know the real truth about each of the women represented on this show so and if not they will form their own opinions. With that being said, I am not here to trash Danielle however I feel you must be accountable for your actions. You stress in this blog that all you want is peace yet your actions suggest something completely different. Whether you were portrayed incorrectly on the show or not you Danielle equal DRAMA! That's not a bad thing it just is! You stess also that you want no recognition for things that you do yet you constantly bring up what you have done for everyone. You also stress that you do not want to be a victim yet everything you have written screams victim. There is really only one word to describe you and your state of mind...denial! If you want to grow personally you have to accept these things before you can change them. I have faith that you can and if you can't do it for yourself then do it for your girls.

This comment isn't for danielle, but this is your all you viewers who are writing trashy things about her! Honestly, stop and think for a minute! Would you really be prepared to walk up to danielle and say these things to her face if you saw her in your neighborhood???? Hell no! You guys are just feeling so brave, because it's online. You wouldn't be prepared to walk up to danielle and trash talk her to her face so brutally like you do online now, would you? Be honest with yourselves and grow up. Next time you want to attack someone online, think about if you'd be prepared to say it to their face. Grow up

get over it and move on stop taking about the book we have heard enough about that darn book.

Family is family,blood is blood...period!

Danielle you might have had a horrible past, but dont expect the rest of the cast to feel for you becuase of what happened. I believe your apologies but as for a long time Caroline, Dina, Theresa and Jacqueline, on tv, seem to already had made their minds about you.Jaqueline seemed to be afraid of her sisters in laws why because here are women that she see probably everyday who she dont want to be enemies with because they are so big on family.....you will compete with that! Especially a big italian family trust me i know, your past will probably come out more if you keep dwelling on it like you did on tv! Just pick your friends wiser and trust no one too quickly and make sure your daughters stay out of that environment and stay bless and God will bless you with a handsome and wealthy man!

For the person who said the other ladies don’t accept Danielle because they aren’t secure with themselves or their own pasts, puhleez! There’s enough stress in day-to-day living, why would anyone want to invite someone who lives for drama (Danielle) in to their lives???

Danielle,
I think it was awfully nice of you to wish everyone peace and happiness, although I disagree with bringing up the book subject at the time you did, and I completely agree with the reaction that Theresa had towards you telling her to pay attention and bringing the book out. I definetly think that Dina had something to do with the book and you deserve to be, and should be as angry and upset towards Dina and her protective, nonsense-talking older sister. I think you have been very strong throughout the show and I hope you never let anyone attack you like some of these girls did. They had no right to judge you. They don't know you! Stay you!

Dear Danielle,

I admire your courage in coming on the show. I admire your cool manner and I believe you are very articulate, especially under pressure. I wish I could speak as well as you do, when I feel stress! I have been watching the show since day one and have tried to be fair-minded. I have also been reading the previous posts and again, I am trying to remain fair-minded. I do indeed feel bad,--- saddened really,--- that your plans for friendship with the other ladies did not work out. I too have been in a place in my life back in school, when I saw myself being rejected by women I wanted to be friends with. I think everyone on the planet knows what THAT feels like. (It is also admirable that you are able to wish them health and happiness in spite of it all!) I believe you will heal from it and as you say in your own words "evolve from that."
I have to say one thing however that contradicts what I have written already. I am shocked that you broke off your friendship with Jacqueline, the one lady who so blatantly and courageously stood up for you at Teresa's dinner. It seems illogical to break the friendship at this point. Especially after all of America witnessed you apologize to Dina at the reunion episode. It just seems illogical to me. I got a good impression from your exchange of words with Dina on camera that the two of you would now work on a better understanding of each other. I even started to harbor a little thought in my head that maybe, Dina and you would be civil to each other, maybe you would help her out one day at her charity event or something and Jacqueline wouldn't feel so torn about being friends with both of you. But now that's not going to happen. Not even close! (By the way, do you have a charity event that you support? We the viewers never get to see that side of you.)
I feel confused and shocked by your decision to break off your friendship with Jacqueline. If your goal was to be friends with these ladies, then, your're certainly not going to meet your goal if you take one step forward and place yourself two steps back.
I mean, here you are trying to cultivate a good friendship with Jacqueline and even Teresa (in the beginning episodes anyway) and I'm thinking, "okay, good you got these girls on your side." Then you lose Teresa, but still you got Jacqueline staying true to you at the Finale dinner. This whole time, Dina is your worst enemy right, but then you beautifully make apologies to Dina,(that was way cool, by the way!) and I'm thinking, "Oh wow! Nice! Things are looking up. Healing can begin now." But then you turn around and cut Jacqueline out? Huh? Girl, you back to square one with that kind of decision-making! I'm sorry. I guess you don't really and truly want to be friends with these other housewives after all. Anyway, best of luck with your new book coming out and hope to see you in season 2.

You are fantastic! Stay strong!

I can't believe I'm writing on a blog. I know about having a past and I know about moving on. They have no right to judge you, nobody does. I admire how you stuck up to them - and lots of us out here think you were/are right!

The viewer before me sounds rediculous. Maybe you need to understand where Danielle is coming from and stop judging her past and the decisions that she has made. I think it is great that Danielle is very much open with her children about circumstances although I don't agree with them knowing everything that's going on about her. I totally understand her and I don't see Danielle digging into everyone elses life and I what I do see is them talking bad about her and just creating her into this image that is really not her and making people view her as this horrible person that she is not. I think they took her through and emotional ride and tried to do a great job at and she was one person standing alone trying to defend her position and Danielle I don't care what anyone says you did the right thing, as long as you know in your heart that you did the right thing don't listen to peoples opinion about what you could've or should've done at that the time because you did what you felt at the time that was necessary to your well being. I am proud of you and in life people face so many circumstances and they become so misunderstood by others and perceived in a way that is not true to who they really are. I applaud you for carrying yourself very well and I will tell you for your well being and for peace of mind and emotional stability know who you are stay true to yourself and stay the hell away from those people because they don't carry any type of love for you in their hearts they are evil. People who think evil things, do evil things and believe me when I tell you that lady Caroline has issues and her sister is one in the same. They have their heads stuck so far in the ass. Another thing love those who hate you because your reward would be create and those who do you wrong will be dealt with. Everything is in the hands of the beholder.

Danielle, firstly I would like to say that I agree that your past is your past. However, your past consists of events and people that are very dangerous to you and anyone around you. I feel horrible that you probably live in fear for you and mostly for your beautiful daughters. Why would you agree to be on this show? If you changed your name in an attempt to erase your past and hide from bad people, why go on national television?? You should have thought of your kids before you made that decision. Of course the other housewives are going to be upset. They also feel your were putting them in danger by being around you. With regard to the book - The way you went about it was ALL WRONG!! If you tried to get everyone together to talk about it and they didn't agree to see you, then you just needed to drop it and cut them out of your life. However, since you did choose to bring it to Teresa's dinner party, then you should have waited until the end of the party and called the ladies aside to discuss it as you now had them all in one room. YOU DID NOT NEED TO DO WHAT YOU DID IN FRONT OF EVERYONE! WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! What you do in your private life is your business but you are wrong for parading your young boyfriend in front of your girls and talking about sex the way you did on TV knowing full well your girls were going to watch. I don't agree that you were making moves on Caroline's son or Teresa's husband, that was simply ridiculous! Caroline was out of line. You do come across as rude, full of yourself and jealous of Dina. Maybe it's the way the show is being edited, but that is how you are perceived. I hope that Jacqueline appreciates all that you have done for her with regard to her pregnancy and doctor appointments, but it also seems that you used her weakness and put her in really bad positions between you and her family. You showing up at the hair dresser to talk to Jacqueline and threatening to show up at the place they were going because you weren't invited, was just wrong. Why the hell would you have wanted to go knowing it was Dina that was making the plans and you came across as absolutely hating her. You definitely made the show more entertaining, but if there is a Season 2 and you are on it, I hope you come back more humble, more modest and more considerate of other people, including your daughters.

I admire you and I commend you for standing up to those people and not allowing them to step all over you. I just went through the same situation and I totally and I think more than anybody understood what you were facing. You probably even felt like Jacqueline could have stood up for you for the right reasons and stood up to her husbands family more often as she says that she supports what is right. However, I also feel like Jacqueline does not know how to handle situations herself and allows people to dictate how she should go about doing things. As a freind and the one and only person that knew of you the most I feel and firmly believe that a true friend should stand for the right cause and never tarry in their friendships and she did. She allowed the things to go as far as it did and did not stand for the right reasons when she was supposed to and I believe that that's what hurted you the most. When she came out and spoke the truth was when Dina made up a lie and said that Jacqueline knew of it all and that's when she spoke up. She is a insecure woman and a very weak being, also she seems like she tries to stay away from the situation because of fear of being outcasted by her husbands family members. As a friend I believe that there was much more that she could do. She didn't do that. I am glad that you dropped her as a friend and have moved on with your life because there are just people that you don't need in your life. I also believe that there are people that you think are truly your friends but only when you fall under hard circumstances will you ever know who your true friends are. Jacqueline is not a true friend. A true friend stands up and does not pushes you away in the way that she did. She seems like a sweet person but she is also very weak for people. As far as her family don't count on them changing because that will surely never happen.

*Danielle
You really need to stop telling your kids everything. There is know need!!! At all

you go danielle! i laughed so hard when i saw jacqueline look all nice and innocent sitting on the couch with her "family", when really the right thing to do was be fair to you. you were a very good friend, and i remember Dina saying that you seemed "obsessed" with her. honestly to me thats a joke! i honestly dont think dina has had any actually NICE friends that treated her like you did in the very beginning! everyone is a bitch! stay true to you girl!!!!! look forward to seeing you next season!

Are you on FB? I think you are awesome and I would love to keep in touch with you and how wonderful you are doing

Danielle,

Love you! Keep your head up high! People will always talk about each other. I think if Caroline is the leader and the rest are the followers. So high school! We all a past and I don't think that we are the same person that we were years ago. We all get older and learn from our past, so we shouldn't be judged for it. You should have kept Jacqueline as a friend people like that don't come around to often, and for the rest they are a bunch of haters who follow Caroline.

You wrote: "It is not fair to constantly look for someone to blame for your own problems". I guess you would know since that is exactly what you are always doing.

Danielle, thank you so much for being who you are. I am 18 years old and i just graduated from high school. I have had people talk about me and backstab me like they did to you in the show. I also have had a friend who i thought was my friend turn against me. thank you so much for showing us young women that you can still keep our heads up high and continue to move on. I look up to you because upon all the things that they have done to you, you still are able to wish them nothing but good health. That takes alot. Despite what these other viewers are writing about you that are bad, just know that you have forever changed a young women and have helped her with her self esteem as well as dealing with things head on instead of letting them tarnish her as an individual but make her stronger than ever. So i say thank you.

Ladies remember in the end that is what you are Ladies! show me more of your substance not just the drama we all need a little positivity in our lives be proud of your accomplishments let them shine more.

Danielle,

I think you're fabulous and I am sorry for the situation you were put in. A person should feel welcomed when entering a circle of friends. I feel when you threw the party at your house and Dina was being rude and you didn't get an apology you shouldn't have let that one go. It's obvious to me that she is the one out to get you! Hang in there I admire the way you carry yourself after everything you have been through in life.

Take Care,

Jaime

Danielle sweetie,You are the same self-centered B.... I met 15 years ago.There are quite a few of us here in Wayne who feel the same way I do.In fact all the people I know,who know you feel exactly the same as I do.Why did you feel the need to list all the things you did for Jacqueline?Sounds like you have quite an obsession with her.An unrequited love?Your behavior was really quite telling.Thank God Jacqueline finally opened her eyes as to who you really are.Dangerous.Real friends do not keep a running tally of good deeds done for a friend.Why did you feel the need to alienate jacqueline from her family?This obsession you have with her was quite disturbing to watch.I think its quite telling you don't have one true friend.You took a harmless comment Joe made and blew it up to Danielle proportions.DRAMA,DRAMA,DRAMA.Then you used this opportunity to take up the cause for Gay Rights.Your new friends will find out soon enough where you are truly coming from.You need to take a good look in the mirror.The other housewives showed great restraint towards you.You are trash.Oh how I would to tell Caroline and the others the"Danielle stories" my friends and I have.I am quite confident that I will have this opportunity sooner than you realize.And Danielle as for you being Italian,puleeze.You are as Italian as Chef Boyardi!!!!!!Instead of trying to take people down,why don't you try to clear up your lies.Actress?Model?I don't think so!Why do you say you have no family?You are finally being exposed for who you truly are,a liar!Get help.Stop obsessing about Jacqueline.Try being a better person.The only people I see you attracting are trash.Trash attracts trash.

Danielle,
All I can say is...YOu go girl! Keep your head up and I think you did exceptionally well on the reunion. YOu do look like you have learned from your mistakes. Not like the others who seem to take in as much attention as they can. Ughh..everyone w/ expecption to Jaqueline got on my nerves. Caroline cried b/c she knows what we all know and doesn't want to admit to it.
But anyways girl. Just dust that dirt off your shoulders and keep moving on.
I'm proud of you!!

danielle,
love your children,they attack you over and over again.
but that was ok ! (right) always remember when someone talking
about you, you doing something right.

Danielle,

C'mon get over yourself! Stop being venomous, vindictive, argumentative. You seem to have low self-esteem and love being a victim. Just stop already!

Danielle,
I feel badly for you. Stop giving so much amunition to these women!! Stop it already. Save yourself & your girls.
If I were you, I'd move far away & change my name (again).

it will never cease to amaze me that we all have enough time on our hands to obsess over someone else's drama. and here i am, offering my 2 cents: danielle, it's oil and water. the only thing more abhorrent to me than the way you are being spoken to/of on the show while the cameras are rolling is reading what people who don't know you at all have to say when they comment on all these blogs. what i have seen is that you are a dedicated and devoted mother who wants more for your girls than you had for yourself, and that is beautiful. you may have been involved with some inappropriate or questionable people, you may use sex as a crutch, you may have been a stoner babe . . . who cares? apparently there is some deeper dirt that caroline hints at, and only you and she know what she's truly talking about. when caroline cracked on the reunion show, you could see that she was holding something precious to her that she was desperately trying to protect. danielle, the only difference i can see between you and the others is your willingness to speak candidly about choices you have made in the past. but for everything that you publicly admit, we have all done something we're not proud of, and i wish that people could see that when they lash out at others it's just like throwing shit at the mirror. it's messy and you can't see yourself clearly.
when people say, "you're sad . . . i'll pray for you", i hope they don't forget to pray for themselves and their hearts heavy with judgement. and also, there is a grain of truth in every attack - find your truth and cultivate it! you are all beautiful, strong, passionate women that don't have to get along, and if it weren't for your presence on the show, it would just be like hanging out at your spoiled italian family reunion. you are the drama - that's why you got the job! xoxo keep the faith

Oh poor, poor Danille...gosh will you ever grow up? The drama you display on this show is worse than the drama my 14 year old daughter experiences!! I really feel sorry for your daughters!

if you didn't want credit for the things you do for someone who is your friend why do you list them??? your just a weird person!

wow! you're such a back stabber! jacqueline was the only one who stood up for you and this is how you're gonna repay her! what an ungrateful person you are! are you sure you still have friends? with the rate that your going you tend to loose friendships faster than you gain friends....I PITY YOU!

Danielle...I get a very strong feeling that the possitive blogs about you are from "you", right? Tell the truth, nobody in their right mind could think anything but dislike for you, after watching you all season than having to read your horrible blog about the only person who stuck up for you "Jacquline"! Also where were all your so called friends all season? I'll bet the only person's coming around you now are out for their 15 minutes of fame! Also, myself having come from a bad home-life take offense that I would have done anything as dispicable as you've done in and with your life because of it!!! Stay away from the good ladies of NJ before you toxify them..D.E.Kelly Seattle

I think the worst mistake you could of ever make was end your friendship with Jacquelyn. She was such a good friend for you and was always sticking up for you!!! So what she made comments?!?! SHe has the right to her own opinion.. There is no need for you to get defensive and end your friendship with her. That is just plain high school shit!!! Out of everyone on the show, Jacquelyn is my favorite. She doesn't play sides and she speaks her mind. However, at times, she does let people take advantage of her kindness.

Keep in mind, editing will always happen in any type of Reality TV!! The producers only show what they think will create fire!! Drama does it .. thats why they only show those parts and edit all the other "boring" stuff out!! Therefore, you might of not heard the entirety of the comments that Jacquelyn might of said when the cameras were rolling might have.

danielle,
it's time to move on. let go and let god direct your paths. I think you would be a better person, if you didn't play the woe is me part. Pray, and help others.
start proving your loyality to your friends on the show. To your self and those kids. Get them in church before they follow in your footsteps. You don't really know what they are thinking. Or for that matter what other kids are saying to them. There are many woman who walked a mile in your shoes, and thank God. Now they are blessed to help others. God is the best friend you will ever have.
He is waiting at the door of your heart, ask him in. Go to all your friends individually and ask for forgiveness. Let God work in their hearts to forgive you. Then you can all start a fresh. I know you are hungry for relationships. Remember to pray first. God Bless you.

When people don't want you in their life, just move on. No need to know why. No Drama.

Danielle,
Wow. I am so impressed at how you handled yourself at the dinner. I was wondering why you chose that gathering to bring up the book but I understand now after reading your blog. I'm not surprised that they didn't want to hear your side. They're hypocrites. Caroline and her judging attitudes about your career as a dancer - but it's a different story when her son wants to start a stripper kingdom! What a phony. I'm glad that you're feeling better. If you decide to do a second season, I think that you should start seeing a therapist to go through it with you. I'm an abuse survivor too. I'm 54 years old and work with other survivors but the issues keep on coming! As in your case, I've gathered a lot of useful tools along the way to deal with them. Best wishes to you and your two very sweet and amazing daughters.
Tamara

wow where do i begin, first of all i come from brooklyn, live in queens now in fact maspeth, queens. when i first watched the show i liked caroline and couldnt care less about danielle but since the show went on i have found myself moving toward danielle and disliking caroline. danielle i can relate to your problems and even tho i dont have that kind of money i would be proud to call you a friend. i give you props for the way you went into the "lions den" (lol) with that book, you got diamond balls gf not brass ones(lol) good for you as i am the same way someone comes after me or my family i will come out fighting, i will definately watch the show and sending comments, keep up the good work danielle, we are proud of you!

Hey Danielle,
I hope you take a moment to read my advise as it comes from a heartfelt place and I don’t have any strong feeling towards you or any of the others ladies. I do however relate to your need to want to fit in and be a part of a community as it's part of human instinct to want to be accepted and fit in. I too have moved to different communities throughout my life and have had pass experiences which some people would not readily accept without first knowing that I did not present a threat. Before you will ever be accepted and fit in a tight knit community you first have to pass the smell test and this is where you underestimated the Manzo family. You noted above that you were there for Jacqueline with all the doctors’ visits, etc... but you failed to realized or understand that Jackie accepted you at face value yet as your bonding deepened you failed to share your pass life with Jackie (not that you need to provide all the details). If she would have accepted your past it would have solidify your bond, had you initiated and disclosed you past life experiences instead of chancing it for the family to try to figure out where you came from and what type of person were they accepting into their inner circle. The fact that you had such a torrid past and choose to start a new life with a new name and all would be a good indication that you will never be accepted 100% into a new community but you can successfully fit in within some such as Jackie. I truly hope you understand what I’m sharing with you and you’re able to find peace and happiness but first learn to trust and allow others to trust you. So much of your drama could’ve been avoided if you all learn to do so. Also please allow your girls to live their lives without all the adult issues as they are way too close to your problems. All the best to you and I wish you a happy life.

Danielle,

I think what is going on here is called a "group think mentality" a clique if you will. Caroline is obviously the bullying-type leader and the rest are her sheep-like followers. You can never win with these people. They are all programmed and wired-up against you.

All I can advise you to do in your life is to continue to put your daughters first, live your life fabulously, lift your head up high, and succeed because the day you fall on your face is when they will all have a celebration over your misfortune. And by the way, Jacqueline was not a true friend. But obviously her loyalty is with her in-laws and they have programmed her against you. Last but not least, NO ONE and I mean NO ONE can stand in judgment of you. Only God! The Lord Jesus spoke: (Matthew 7:1)“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.”

(Matthew 7:2-5) “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

I Love you and please take care of your self: heart, mind, and your body

Danielle,
I can sympathize with you when you said that you had a hard life, however I believe you put yourself in certain situations and then want to play the victim. Whatever Caroline was talking about that you did to Dina and her family, I beleive with all my heart you did that! I believed that you lost the only good friend that you had because you always feel like you are the victim. I pray for you and hope everything goes well in your life, but you really need some serious counseling.

Take care and God bless,

Tonya

Oh Danielle!

I really feel for you. I wish you didn't have to be so defensive all the time. But I understand that you are that way because of your past. The cycle of destruction keeps going with you because it started at such a young age and was never resolved.

You need to be aware that the other ladies didn't start out trying to hate you, but things that you said and did rubbed them the wrong way, which made you retaliate hard. They might have been standoffish to you because they didn't understand how you live your life or how you even talk because they've come from a completely different upbringing than you. Yes, they were blessed with not being abused when they were children, so they aren't going to understand you and they may not accept you because they don't understand who you are. You may think you're not inappropriate, but I think most of the viewers do find you a little rough around the edges when it comes to your sex life and what comes out of your mouth. Listen to what words you choose carefully, even if it means watching the show over and over. You will learn a lot from just watching yourself. People are always listening to every word you choose.

As you say, when you feel you're attacked, you attack back -- with all claws out!
It's just a reflex for you, but please see that you're just continuing the cycle of destruction. If you can take responsibility for the things that you've done, learn from these things, and not be so sensitive to the most minute details of what the other ladies aren't doing right towards you, you might feel better and be better.

I think you're really a good person, but you are caught in the never ending cycle of overly-defending yourself to the point of attacking others.

Many SURVIVORS of child abuse seek out counseling to help work out these issues. If you don't seek help, you could remain a confused VICTIM, in this horrendous cycle.

Please don't be the victim. Be strong! Be a survivor! Don't perpetuate the nightmare. You can be a role model for many abused children out there! It makes me sad to see the confusion in your eyes. I know you want peace. You can always start right now!

Nor should you type something without thinking about it first. You list things you did for her, yet you say I will not list because you do not want credit. Wellll.... Hmm seems like you do want credit. Stop contradicting yourself. I felt sorry for you when I first started watching this show, but as it went on it became apparent that you just wanted some sympathy votes. You really need help.

Danielle, I feel so sorry for you. Sorry for what you went through in the past...but more so for who you are today as a grown woman. You exude "pain and malice" - your facial reactions and body language says a whole different story to what your mouth is saying. I see a woman who has no self confidence, no goals or aspirations for herself, and completely envy's all around her. You seem like someone who wants it all, but don't really want to work for it. Your journey to find a husband on the show speaks volumes - you only want someone with money so you can spend it. This is so sad. Just stop it. Stop acting like trash b/c that's all your going to attract. Make your own future and stop depending on a man for money. Your beautiful and (I think) smart enough to have your own successful career. C'mon...you only got that "black Am Ex" because of who you were married to right?? Stop kidding yourself and stop wanting to have everything everyone else has around you. Make your own future and your own money. I know you can do it...are you afraid of hard work?

It's ashamed how everyone judges you based upon the show. No one knows exactly what happened to you in your life. Their basically siding on who's story is more interesting to hear. What shocked me the most is how you actually said on the reunion show that you were adopted by an abused family and raped from a very young age, you are a really strong woman to say that on national television. People should stop judging you, seriously people, enough already let her live her life. Danielle, i am your number one fan and i cannot relate to what happened to you but your story touched me and i want whats best for you. Keep living your life to the fullest and cocentrate on your kids and your divorce settlement.

Danielle i really think you are good person,but to tell you the truth people are going to talk about everybody and when people talk about you they are only thinking about you.So this my advice to you and hope you take this seriuosly danielle you and god are the only ones that knows about your life and your kids life and i think its time for to set your goals higher and whatever happens twenty-four years its really nothing you can do about it now,so its time to move with your life and help your girls grow up to be beautiful and strong women and always believe in yourself no matter what happen and always remember when someone is judging you about your wrong god is judging them to and please don't think that other people don't skeletons in there closets.

For those of you who are such huge Danielle fans, invite her into your life. I think even you will be amazed at the amount of havoc she will wreck.

If you have any knowledge of body language, you can tell that Danielle was lying all night on the reunion show. She is not to be believed one little bit. I applaud the other housewives for shutting her out of their lives. I would do the same regardless of the show.

Danielle,
I last wrote that you should parlay your exposure into writing a book. I personally think that what people did or didn't do 25 years ago isn't relevant unless it is a pattern in the past 25 years. It's better to make serious mistakes and grow out of them than make no mistakes but have no character (like Teresa). But recognize that what you experienced as a child sets you up for (a) attracting bad men, (b) attracting bad attention (thus the chaos aka "drama") that turns off busy women and wears down friends. Once you like and trust yourself you will only attract good people men and women alike. Take the time apart from men. And recognize that sex is not love or affection. Take a break. Talk about negative stuff with a therapist and leave it there. Talk about positive stuff with your friends and refuse (like Jacqueline) to gossip about anyone. You were on target when you say that what you did or didn't do 25 years ago is nobody's damn business. Leave it at that. They already know it. Be sexy, but modest. Don't brag. People see you are beautiful. You don't have to say it. Just friendly, sisterly advice. But you are on the right track. People will try to derail you. Avoid them if it delays your progress. Negative people aren't your friends. s

Smells kinda cunty in here..... Oh it's just Danielle, she opened her mouth again.

Danielle:

In case no one ever told you, it is extremely rude to create controversy at other people's dinner parties. You also don't get to hold monologues.

This is the first time readers of a book are the target for criticism because of content discussion. Your anger should be directed at the author of the book.Why did you not sue for defamation or lible if the content is untrue?
Why did you not get court assistance in preventing the books publication or distribution? Why didn't you sue the publisher?

You can tell you do not have family. You don't have any idea of how to behave. Because you have deceived people about your past, your anger at people discovering it is misdirected.

You are dishonest with yourself and everybody else.
Throw your own dinner party, pay for it, and entertain as much controversy as people will put up with. Have the author appear and debate the issues.

Sometimes you have to look around to see that it isn't everyone else.

Danielle, You are the Show!

The rest of the women are just NJ silly girls.

Caroline needs to be in a cage, she's vicious.

Danielle, after watching the reunion, all I wanted to say that I will pray to god that you find your soul mate soon. I love you girl!! take care!!

Danielle,

As you are aware, people who change from the inside, don't need to defend themselves. Stay away from people who bring out your defensive side, and move onto healing. These folks are not your friends, and I think the only reason they stay friends with each other is because they have a common denominator = you! Step away from it all and move on with your life. They have nothing good to offer you. If they were truly secure within themselves and their own past, they would accept you as you are -- but they don't. So stop seeking approval because you'll never get it from those who are in denial about their own behavior.

One more thing, don’t be so anxious to show the world how sexually active you are. This is a private matter. Do it for your daughters’ sake and to give your reputation some credibility.

Good luck to you and your daughters!

Danielle. Don't let those he beasts get you down. You are a gem in my book. Never forget that the manzo's have a giant messed up closet filled with 5 books worth of skeletons. It's also appropriate Caroline , the man of the show, wore pink. You know it's fitting because she can now be the poster man for pigs with lipstick. You are a woman. Tell Teresa she needs a third boobie. See if she gets it cause we all know whatever she hears she believes. What a hot mess.

Hi Danielle, I'd like to know what Caroline was talking about at the end of the reunion show? She said you know what you did to Dina?? She made it sound like you had a hit out on her!!! LOL, LOL, I'm dying here,,,,LMAO. I think those women are shallow, nasty, mean, self centered B's!!!!!! Sorry you went through this stuff,,,,,One thing, I'm Irish, I would have told them the story 1st,,,,,,they would have never been able to do that S....to me. Hey we all have things in our past. They need to get over themselves. Wishing you a BETTER life,,,,please stay away from them and people like them.
God's speed to ya,

I totally agree with you Danielle! You and your family's pain is just a relevant as theirs. The lack of Compassion that Caroline has is evident and disgraceful. She is so self-centered and shallow really.

Danielle,
By kissing up to them and saying you are sorry, speaks so much to me. You where truely an abused child. My heart goes out to you. Be happy Danielle try to find some peace in your life. You don't need them to validate your own worthiness as a person Danielle. Go on and be happy. Grab for all the happiness you can cause life is very short. Don't go near them leave them to themselves and you go find some peace in your life.
You have a good gay friend in your corner go be with him spend time with him. He is concerned in all the right ways for you.

You ALWAYS have choices and Jacqueline is not your babysitter. I don't care whether you aske her to set up a meeting or not, she is simply not responsible for doing your bidding. She told you several times to leave her out of it. Did you think she was kidding around when she said that? A friend would never have put another friend in that position. Why was she responsible for setting up any meeting on your behalf? Especially when the woman made it perfectly clear that she did not want to be used like that. She gave you every chance to be a friend and you threw it back in her face with vengence. Stop blambing other people and relying on them to do your dirty work for heavens sake.

Danielle...

You are the most "fabulous" of all the housewives. Those women could not walk in your pumps if they had to. Their husbands define them. You...you do it on your own!! Keep your head held high and don't look bad. God will take care of them. You go, girl!!

Hey you seem so rejuvenated and ready for your life now. I admire you for the strength to move on and learn from this experience. You have the spotlight now so make sure you use it for good and try to show your girls how you have grown. They are you foundation so make sure you build yourself a sturdy life so the three of you can be whole. You need no one to make you complete. Love will find you as it found me. I was a victim of circumstance as well and people judged me for it without knowing me. People also acted like friends and I told them all about myself and they used it to spread venom. Then one day I met my soul mate and they loved me for me now and not then. Let others judge you. Let them hate. You and I will be moving forward as the snakes stay with each other and find their next victim. I can only say for myself that my versions of your snakes had their day and everyone was shocked. All I did was wait. Patiently. Years after I stopped talking to them they wound up smothering themselves with their own lies. They cast stones and you know what, the glass houses crumbled, as I am living in my solid grounded no nonsense house. I do not judge and I do not tolerate gossipp. Forget them all. Maybe it is best to even write off Jackie. Let her smolder. She was a sneak. Hugs from NYC.

After all is said and done isn't it convenient for you to cry and talk about your abusive childhood and difficult relationships. Too little too late! You behaved badly on the show and you should own it, apologize for it and move on. There are millions of adults who suffered abuse and neglect as a child and they don't turn out to be mean, hateful, malicious people. They learn to treat others as they would like to be treated, with kindness and understanding. You are a liar. Why would anyone believe anything you say? The other housewives shouldn't even trust you as far as they can throw you. Grow up.

I am incredibly disgusted with some of these comments. So what if she is an ex-stripper? It was just a job and not who she is.

So what if she is still hoping for friendships from these women, what does that have to do with any of you.

So what if Danielle plays the victim? She was victimized at 8 years old, she was never given a choice. Her abuser turned her into a victim. I have no idea what it must have been like for her and I am not going to judge her. Yes, some people are able to walk away from an experience like that much stronger but most people do not. Sometimes when you are broken from something so horrifically done to you that your only option is to put yourself together as best as you can. I not going to judge Danielle for that or for whatever happened 25 years ago, its none of my business.

Danielle, keep your head up, bypass all of the negative comments and do what you have to do to be okay everyday for yourself and for your daughters.

Love,
hg

Danielle, you are simply the best. If it would not been for your story line NONE of these other woman would even have a hit show. They are all boring. You should be paid twice as much as those 3 other clowns. You need to come out with a healthy cookbook or some kind of book where you are cooking with your children. Every time I saw you interact with your daughters in the kitchen my mouth watered at what great food you were preparing as a family. I want you healthy pizza recipe. PLEASE!

You my dear are going to make more money than you have ever dreamed of! Your Ex's book is going to end up being a best seller.
Was this a publicity stunt of some sort?

Danielle:
I watched the reunion show. I do believe that you had done something wrong in the past. However, the past is already passed.
I hope you do really change to a better person with God in your heart. The most important thing is to take good care of yourself and your two lovely daughters. No more pot please!! Pots can ruin your look. I do adore your manners at the union, poised with self control. I feel that you do watch the lanuguage and words used in front of the camera, so I didn't see you
behaved crazily like Teresa at the restaurant or Mama Goose, Caroline's exaggerated tune. I do feel Caroline's tears were
crocodile's at the reunion.

Anyhow, I wish you from now on, just be very careful with every man you meet in the future. Steve, whom Teresa's husband introduced to you, was a bad guy. They gave you a bad guy and
I don't know how good they are if they associate with bad people.
Danielle, you can write a book about your life and even suggest
a movie deal with some directors to make a movie about your life.
I really want you to turn around not only to become a better person but also start a career in front of camera. I can tell you are good at speech and could even be a wonderful program host. I am now thinking what if you could be a quest host at 'VIEW'.

I want to see you 'grow' in front of TV.

Good luck!

Best regards,
Kay
Jersey City.

I only have one question if your ex husband is as awful and as scary as you say he is why on earth would you do a TV show that shows where you and your children live?

OMG Danielle! Does your back hurt? It must from bending over backwards and kissing your own azz! You are despicable! You are not pretty and while I think you might have a few brain cells left, you just don't GET IT!! You stirred up this whole deal by bringing the book to the dinner. BTW~where did you have the book hidden? Or was this all "pre-planned" with production crew? You were carrying a small purse into the dinner and no way would the book fit in there. Anyway, the other girls are right on with their comments about you. You deserve everything you are getting and more. Leave them alone and I'm sure you will again be a "nobody".

I find it a little too funny, how you Danielle can just sit there and say me, me, me..poor little me..And you name all the things that you did for these LADIES, and all the bad things that happened to you in your life. Did you ever stop and think about what these ladies did for you. I myself have two younger sisters who I care for on my own, due to the passing of my mother when I was 19. There is no stronger bond than a bond between sisters. For me myself, I don't care if my sisters are right are wrong those are my sisters and I would be dammed if I let anyone, esp. someone like yourself get in the middle. From the outside looking in, you are not happy to see these ladies blessed you are Jealous. For you to sit there and enjoy Jacqueline and her Sister-in-laws is sick!! your older than me, but i think you still obviously have a lot of growing up to do...

Danielle,

It was really so sad to watch what you went through on the show. I felt the judgment from those women was just awful. There is a reason that 12-step programs are anonymous, it is because those of us with pasts are judged, people think we can't change, but the reality is that we do change, but we need help. You may need more help and support - I don't know what you're doing for yourself in that department to actually DEAL with the issues that you have, but it's something that you may want to consider. If you truly want to put the past to rest, you may need some assistance...

Love and light,
S

Danielle,

We all make mistakes, the most important is that we learn from them and become a better person. Do not judge the other women on the show as you do not want to be judged. The past is gone forever and the future is a present. Be true to yourself and your girls. If others do things that they should not be proud of let it go...do not go after revenge. That is just negative energy and you do not need to be part of anything negative. Stay positive, be the best person that you can be. Remember you have no control over others. How they act, think or what they do in their lives. Do things that you can look in the mirror and be proud of who you are. Let the past go it is over and done with. Remember everything happens for a reason and God is the only one that gets to see the big picture ahead of time. Do not even read the negative comments. I hope in your book that is coming out you do not attack anyone including your ex-husband. He was definitely wrong for writing those things about you, whether you did them or not is not the issue, he did not have to make it public. If you start writing negative things about people no good will come out of it. I understand how much hurt he put you through, please let it go and move on, be a better person than he is. As hard as it may be pray for him, do not give him the satisfaction of responding. Remember the past is gone and can not come back, live for the future. Each additional day is a gift.

Good luck Danielle and stay around positive energy. One piece of advice, how you say things to people is very important, for example when you told Theresa pay attention, and in the dancing episode told her husband something like do not talk to me like that I am not your wife. Can you see how that can come across and make a person feel like your insulting them. There is no need for comments like that...it is all on how you say things.

I hope the best for you and your girls. Stay strong.

Danielle,
Did I like all things you may have said or done on the show? No. However, I do have to say it takes a big person to go on TV and not only spill their personal past but to also apologize. I do hope it was sincere though I can see in your face the hurt you had. I also think Dina should get credit for accepting your apology and trying to move forward and even standing up to her sister about it. I too have sisters and would do anything for them so I get Caroline's perspective.

Anyway, I am sorry you had such distressed background. I truly hope you and your daughters have a happy life and that you can remember the person you once were so you can be the person you want to be now. Good Luck.

Danielle...You just go on and on with excuses about everything. Yes, everybody has a past. Your mistake was going on national TV where everything comes out eventually. You opened yourself up to all this, so own up to it. Your girls should never have been exposed to any of this...shame on you. Stop blaming everybody else and take the high road in the future. Silence, they say, is golden. If you don't say anything to anybody, nobody can accuse you of anything!!

Danielle or Beveraly whatever your name is.. I think more things in that book are true and you are still lying!!!! YOu just wish you were classy like the others. Your not the only person that had a bad child hood but that is not the other ladies fault and things like that that happen you grow from them not dwell on them.
AND WHY WOULD YOU BE WRITING A BOOK!!! How stupid is that!!! YOu talk about how Teresa lived before her new house when you are living off of your ex husband and don't have a job.. get real!!!

I identify strongly with you Danielle. As a person who was broken by people that I admired and wished to be accepted by it hurts today when I meet people that invoke those feelings. My defenses go up and my mind travels to places not necessary to go to. I play the victim in my mind when I haven't been victimized and I am aware of it. I have done terrible things to myself that I hope people do not find out about but exist in my history nonetheless. The problem Danielle for me is me not the outside forces. When you identify the problems you have and work on those instead of focusing on how you have been victimized then you will truly triumph. I believe you can do it and hope you do because I believe we will see great things from you.

Danielle,

Good or bad, your actions were a direct result of you defending and protecting yourself and no one should ever blame a person for doing that. I give you major credit for admitting you were wrong on national television. Like you I have spent my life having to protect and defend myself, unlike you I have had to primarily do it with my own family! Knowing first hand what you psychologically must go through on a daily basis I do wonder how you are holding up? I really hope that you have a great support group that you can turn to because without that it really is a tough cold world. Keep your back straight and never let them get you down.

Ron

Daniel, you are a strong woman. dont let these other women get to you.(except Jacquline who seems genuine and has a HEART).
It was obvious that they are heartless coz you could see the cameras rollign to them as you were opening to the world about your past and your childhood. they were smiling!!how cruel.
Keep on keeping on and keep on being true to yourself. You are a marvelous woman and what you did 20 years ago is no one's business. True being on this show puts you on the spotlight but they dont have the right to judge you and act all high and mighty.
God bless

Danielle,

Who cares what happened in the past... to all the posts that says own up to your past, IGNORE them. The past is the past and each and everyone of us has it and if you have never sinned or done something to that extent then I will call you God. Just remember to move forward and learn from the mistakes. "Where one door closes another opens," this is my quote for this year to take a positive outlook on everything that happens. Also remember to sit back and listen to your friends especially when they did the same for you. Take Care, Be strong, stay Positive!!

CONGRATS TO DANIELLE!!!

You're moving forward and don't need your ex-cast members negativity.

Remember to be true to yourself and TELL ALL the stories that the STEPFORD WIVES = Caroline/Dina/Jaqcueline/Teresa are trying to hide... in your upcoming book!!!

Looking forward to reading it~~~ WRITE EVERYTHING !!!

Miss Danielle,

If you want love go see a councilor, you obviously have had some difficulties in life. You clearly have difficulties in choosing good male company. Seeing someone who can help you adjust your world view in a positive way, you'll continue to grow as a person. As a result, quality people will want to be apart of your life.
Good Luck!

We live on opposite coasts and lead vastly different lives. However, I appreciate your raw honesty to put yourself out there. I can't say I agree with everything you do or say, but you are unapologetically yourself. Facing a past you may not be proud of does not mean that you are still that person, despite the venom others may spew at you. Who doesn't have skeletons in their closet? For all of the Manzos preaching about how they are "thick as thieves" and are just protective, it's not easy to take on everyone the way you have. At the end of the day, all the drama from the past and present is irrevelant...what your girls think is all that should really matter.

I WANT TO KNOW THIS. AFTER LOOKING AT THE SECOND REUNION EPISODE. WHEN CAROLINE SAID THAT YOU DID SOMETHING OR TRIED TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE TO DINA, WHEN THEY ASKED YOU..."YOU STILL DONT KNOW WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT" AND YOU SAID..."NO I DONT". WELL IF YOU DIDNT KNOW WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT THEN WHY DIDNT YOU ASK? NO YOU JUST SAT THERE AND SAID NO I DONT KNOW. IF THAT WAS ME I WOULD HAVE SAID..." WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED, CAUSE I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT", BUT FOR YOU TO JUST SIT THERE KNOWING HOW DISTURBED THEY WERE AND NOT ASK NOTHING, IMPLIES TO ME THAT YOU DO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. YOU DID TRY TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE TO DINA AND IT FELL THROUGH....ANSWER ME THIS...WHY DID YOU JUST SIT THERE AND STAY QUIET?????

Danielle,

I am so sorry what you had to go through just for the sake of trying to get along. I feel that this was a terrible experience for such beautiful ladies. I don't feel that anyone has a right to go looking in your past. I also don't feel that you needed to or should have explained anything to anyone. I would have never done that because the payoff is not worth it. You opened yourself up and you were still called a liar. Just continue hold your head high and know that you survivor. Don't worry about what people say. You have a story to tell and what started out as something evil against you will turn out go be great for you. I heard this on the radio today, "The past is the past and the future is spotless." The bible says, "he who judge others will be judged himself."

I liked all of the Housewives, but I am partial to the underdog. I can't stand to see people mistreated. I do not like the fact that so much effort was put into digging up your past and putting it out there. We're all human and will make mistakes, but when you're about something you cover people and don't bring shame on them. If you want to know something about someone go them in private. We, as women have to become better friends to each other. What is the payoff in not being the best that we can be at all times?

One bit of adivce that I have for you is not to discuss your personal business so openly. You are not in that place anymore and don't let anyone take you back to such a painful time in your life.

I wish you the best and I will be praying for you and your daughters. I know that something postive will come from this for you.

What was it that Danielle wanted to do to Dina?? Boy it had to be bad for Caroline to get so upset?

Something that I observed during part I and II of the reunion was how you cried when Caroline was talking about her father in law's death, but when you told your story (which by the way is much more painful than hers) non of them shed a tear for you. In fact that retard, Teresa, kept making faces at you. Those people don't feel for others, all they care about is "the family". That's why you shouldn't be so sensitive. Don't let others get to you. When people say negative stuff about you, just brush it off and keep going. But just know that they're not your friends, and make true friends outside of that circle.

Danielle-
You are what makes this show interesting. Without you this show would have the lowest ratings. Yeah bringing the book to dinner was controversial, but that's what made the last episode so popular and that's why people can't stop talking about it.

When it comes to your personal life I think that you need to surround yourself with real friends that will support you and stick by you no matter what. Jacquelin is a good friend, but she shouldn't be your only friend. When it comes to your daughters you should not bring men around them or even talk to them about your relationships. Don't forget that you're setting an example. You are a very powerful women, you've endured a lot, you don't need a man to complete your life or to be financially stable. And financially speaking this show is a great opportunity to market yourself, write books, maybe make a series of workout DVD's... This is a great opportunity to cash in, look at the NY Housewives they don't waste any time, they're selling books, jewelry, you name it. You'll be ok, just stop taking things to heart. Being too sensitive is not a good thing, people will take advantage of that. Sometimes you just gotta let things go.

Whether you're telling the truth or lying, doesn't really matter anymore. I don't know how much of the drama is for the camera or how much is real. Its difficult to really believe reality tv anymore. Either way, its obvious you should let go of Jaqueline and her family. They are not interested in a friendship with you and if you care about her, just bow out gracefully. I personally don't care about your past, I have no reason to however...it is hard to feel sorry for you when you continually try to push them to believe you. Like I said, they don't want you to be a part of their lives so why try to force it. And I hope you have changed your ways. If not, you should seek professional help. I don't say this to be mean. But if you have really suffered all the things you claim to have suffered, it would affect your ability to relate to others in an appropriate manner. Therapy may do you good. Just my opinion...take it or leave it. I hope you find happiness within yourself.

No one's perfect!! No one has the right to judge. Everyone has skeletons in the closet. Judge how you want to be judged. Human beings have feelings. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and feelings. I don't know what's true or not. Try not to worry what others think so much. A true friend could care less what your past was like. It's what you do in the now that counts to true friends. Actions should speak louder than words. Concern yourself with the people that want to be with you and leave the others alone. If you're Jacquelines friend, be her friend. You don't have to be everyone else's friend. If Jacqueline is your friend, concern yourself with what she thinks. I'm sure she doesn't care about your past. If she has questions, answer. "The Book" is out. You, your kids, and God know the truth. Who cares what other people think. Good job on realizing that rumors can cause a lot of trouble. Don't believe rumors, go to the source.

danielle with out you the show would have been boring i see you are not friends with jacky

Danielle,
I was sorry to hear of your past. I, too, know how it feels to have the need for approval. I watched you, time after time, try to be a part of the group. You will never fit in because they do not understand. Only those of us that have lived in this "abusive, hell on earth" way of life understand. Keep on keeping on. I know that I've read many self help books. They do work. There is one that you should read, it's by John Bradshaw, the title is "Going Home. It is a work book. It is very painful, but from it comes freedom. I wish you well. Don't worry about the judgemental remarks and digs from those that have never walked a minute in your footsteps. You know, it's funny, those people could not live, one hour, of one day, or your life without having a total break down! You will be the one to come out on top. You will survive---after all--that's what we do. Good luck, and keep growing. Remember to hold your head high--own your past and your mistakes. My goal is to always be better today than I was yesterday. It works--it's cool!
