Family First

Danielle explains why her kids are the only people she can trust.

May 26, 2009

I want to thank everyone who approaches me with kindness and concern. I wish I could tell each and every one of you what a great comfort you have all been to me. I love all of you for making me feel as though I am not alone and that you are on this journey with me. I have been out and about with my children a lot and the outpouring of love and respect towards my girls and myself has been an incredible help to me. Thank you from the depths of my heart!

I love the comments from fans in public and on the blogs about how wonderful my children are. I'm so glad the world gets to see how great my kids are! They are my world!

Rock climbing on this week's episode was awesome! My girls and I have very busy schedules during the school year. Both of my children are in honors classes and have dance four times a week, and Christine also has soccer and year-round track. We are very busy! Rock climbing is our summer sport at the Rock Gym. I absolutely love all sports with my children and I think they help me to stay fit. My kids are definitely my inspiration for many of my athletic endeavors, plus they are tons of fun to be around. I think in viewing this week's episode I should keep my list of friends limited to my children. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but it seems they are the only ones I can truly trust. They are my only family.

That is exactly how I feel Danielle; My four children are my life and I love them all and they are my best friends. I don't have any friends because I know people are fake they pretend to be you friend and they stab you in the back everytime. Stay close to your girls and give them unconditional love at all times. They are beautiful and they also have very sweet spirits.

If people are treating in an unkind way, it's because you expect it. When you say "there is no one I can trust." You are setting the stage for that to be your reality. Why don't you move from a victim mentality to an empowering one? Say things like "I'm wonderful and others think I'm wonderful too." "I have many warm caring friends." ... and then expect it to be. Every time you state the negative, you reinforce it. If you want a good life, you need to expect a good life.

You and Dina are the two most pathetic housewives on the show. The both of you LOVE DRAMA! You both LOVE to be the center of attention - no matter what the cost. You both need to get a life.

wrong place to bring out book had your own party to do it

I love you Danielle. You are my favorite on the show and you look the best.

Danielle,
I think you are such a great person who seems to be getting such a bumb rap on the show. Obviously the bad girl of the group when you arent. You remind me a lot of myself, except I am a few years younger. Dont let these awful women bring you down. They are stuck up bitches who dont have anything better to do with their time but to bring someone else down b/c they dont belong in their family. I have been through it myself. You are a great mom, and person so do not let them win, you keep fighting. And you dont need a man to keep you warm at night, you get your ex-husband to pay what he owes you by going through your attorney and the right one will come along. Promise, Mine did when I least expected it.

Love your friend if and when you ever need one,
Sherry

That 20-something year old guy you were dating looks so old. You can do so much better.

Danielle,
i dont agree with some of the things you do on the show but you seem like a warm, loving, giving person, despite what others think of you. Dont change! I like how honest and open you are, its very enduring and refreshing. Its touching how you have such a great relationship with your kids - they are both so cute and seem like great girls. Despite what others say about you, you did a great job in what will be your most difficult and important role ever - as a mother. As long as you did that, no one else has any right to say anything negative about you. I hope you find a man that can love you and treat you and your daughters well because you deserve it.

Don't ever change to please anyone! You are yourself and if people can't handle it or have a problem than you probably don't want them as a friend. If you are happy and your kids are happy with who you are don't worry about what other people say. I'm sure they are not paying your bills or doing anything for you. Most likely they are probably just jealous that they have to keep up an act at all times so that they can feel part of the in crowde. You are what is giving that show ratings because the rest really have nothing interesting worth watching!

Danielle, I love you and I just think that you are misunderstood like everyone said ppl have past lives, you need to stop having them in your life so much, trust me I have been there,I found someone great and the ppl that I had in my circle tried everything to could to make him live me, but nevertheless keep your head up and be strong and and dont worry about Dina and her sister, they have a past also, that includes the mob and other things which was in people mag. but you look good and think about your kids first. YOUR THE ONLY ONE I LOVE ON THE SHOW, I kinda like Jac, but we will see if she is real, there are other ppl in the world besides family you know!!! Come as you are and if that dont try to bond with you then shame on them so they can get to know you.

Danielle, first I must say tonight watching the show I felt your pain. I wanted to go inside the tv and hug your neck. We want to be tough but inside it really does hurt. I have been the victim of numerous rumors in my town and when you said something in regards to being the single mother target that everyone has to gossip about - it hit home.

I have also spent my time in jail and boy was I the topic. I am suprised there is not a book with my mug shot in it. But, it was a mistake that will forever mark my chest with the red letter.

WE make mistakes and we can't go back but it does make us the strong noble women that we are today.

Stay true and strong. Your a great mother and person. But hey dump the young boy, if you haven't already. Your too cute for him. Get you a hot rich sugar daddy! ha ha!!

Oh, and remember don't regret anything you go thru, it makes us who we are today !!!

Danielle,

I have to say your my favorite Housewife. I love how much fun you have with life and the relationship you have with your girls. I think that Caroline & Dina are just hating on you because they are jealous of your friendship with Jacquelin. This is a relationship they will never have with her because she only married into the family and was not born into it. They have a problem with outsiders because they have a problem with control. They can't control you.

Keep your head up girl! This Newark Jersey Girl got your back. Let those heffas fall where they may.

Dear Danielle,

Try to become stronger as an individual. You DO NOT need the approval of any of the other women and especially not of Jacqueline who cannot be a supportive friend or grow a backbone and stand up against her cult of a family. Throughout the entire season thus far, all of the women have talked about you behind your back and only invite you to events just to discuss how horrible of a person you are. You Don’t Need People Like This. Yes you have made mistakes in life but nobody is perfect. I think they have something against women who are not married. Drop Them All

Best Wishes In Your New Found Strength

Those women are absolute poison. They will corrupt Jaqueline and whatever trust and friendship you two have developed. Stay away from them like the plague.

I find myself liking you and seeing you as a genuine person, but I do wish that you'd provide for yourself and stop referring to your life as one of "struggle." Until you worry about how you're going to put food on the table and must look to sell what few things you own in order to do that (and all the while you're working full time), you're not struggling.

I find you the most normal of any one. As far as pasts are concerned, I can be sure they all have their own. Yours happened to go public (thanks to them). And thank you for quieting that pig with his gay slurs at the dance studio. Good for you.

Danielle,

Who do you think you are, jesus you guys operate under the stress of fabricated false illusions of real life problems. Do you have any idea the crisis many real housewives are facing in america today. Your worried about a settlement from your ex, but it appears you are living rather well. Try waiting for child support as your home is foreclosed and a repoman took your only transportation to your job. Get real. You get made about people not dancing with you? jesus this show is the problem with many Americans today.

Danielle,
Read your remarks and the comment that your girls were your only family. I just have one question. What about your mother in Pennsylvania? That is the only copmment I have to make.

Dani,
You seem like a great person, regardless of what people say about u. People are judging you based on what they heard versus what they know. I was told don''t judge a book by its cover. and thats what the rest of the women are judging you by. its wrong and not cool. unless they know your situation, i cannot judge you based on what happened over a decade ago, versus the person you are now. i only judge what i see. be blessed and good luck for you and your daughters

Danielle, you remind me of Betheny Franken from Real Housewives of New York City. You are kind of the underdog of the group. My mother was a divorcee and I know that that is not an easy life to lead. I think it's awesome that you're so honest with your kids (although you could hold back at times, I feel, they don't need to know every detail). I just wanted to say that I really like you and I feel like all you're trying to do is find someone you can be happy with and make friends, and people keep criticizing everything you do. I don't think you should settle on any man, specially one that treats you like Steve used to. I think you don't need the approval of any of the Manzo sisters.

Danielle:

I absolutely adore you. You wear your heart on your sleeve and you are a straight shooter. That is a quality very hard to find these days. Word to he wise:

1. Stop trying to fit in with the Manzo tribe. To hell with them and their exclusive membership by blood only family. Do you and don't make any apologies or seek anyone's approval. Your need to be liked by them shows and they have been feeding off of it.

2. The Manzo's have made a lot of judgements of you...but what is so telling about character lies within the behavior of their children vs. yours. You have well mannered respectful children. vs their uncontrollable ungrateful, spoiled rotten, dumb ass, failing grade kids.

3. Jacqueline and Teresa are not your friends. Jacqueline is a fake and Teresa just wants to get an earful.

4. Stop telling everyone your bisiness. People only know what you tell them.

5. YOur ex hubby likes to hear yo beg. Ensuret that the governent Makes him pay. He'll wish he kept the divorce more amicable.

6. Love your inner man...pay more attention to the state of your emotional well-being than the outer appearances. Once you do that, you won't have the desire to belong to anyone's clique to validate your worth

Oh Danielle, how I love you girl. Let me tell you, you are what's making the ratings go up right now. So you have a little drama if there wasn't drama not everyone would be so ready to see the new episodes and look forward to the reunion show they keep advertising. Every housewives city has a drama queen and that is what keeps it cooking. I mean really the other ladies have boring stuff going on and have nothing else to talk about but you. It would be so Leave it to Beaver without your drama in there. And as far as you and the younger men, girl you have a great body and if I could work out like you and looked like you I would flaunt it to. Most woman can't get any kind of man to look at them twice much less one that is twenty years younger. Belive me if you were a man you would be king of the block, think about it. And your past so what maybe it's not all true. How do we even know that everything we do see is real. A few things could be added here or there, there are doing a tv show I would'nt put it past them. They know what to do to keep us watching. I love you girl and look if you ever need back up there and go to lunch with you and the other ladies. Being a bitch is sometimes all a woman has and I can show Dina a real bitch.

LOL I am with EM. she nailed it with sheree, kelly and danielle. i don't put gretchen in the same category because she is so young and there is a chance she will wake up and have better values. but the others, including Danielle, are too far gone. calling them "bimbo"s is being too polite. Danielle, you are setting a horrible example to your girls, which is a shame since you clearly love them so much. wake up and clean up your act before it is too late.

Danielle,

I real hope you do not end up older without a man and trying to steal your daughter's boyfriend. But I hope you open your eyes and find yourself a descent man, one who will respect and love you.

Hey girl!

Look, dont let anyone bring you down. No matter what your past is you are a human being, and it's not your fault some woman are to childish, and sad to accept you as a human being. I love how everyone on that show acts as if they have been assistant's to the Pope, and have lived a holier than thou life. We as people in this world go through things in life good and bad and most of us grow and learn from them, and we move on to better things. so screw them if they dont want you around, OH WELL. besides you wouldnt want people like them in your life anyway. every second you would turn your back you would get a knife thrown in it. just focus on you and your girls. they are the only things in this world that matters.

((((((hugs)))))) from California

Teresa is not your friend. Stay away from her! As for Jacqueline, I'm on the fence. It is obvious that she is uncomfortable when you speak about Dina, which is fine. However, one chooses their friends not their family, so if she was a good friend to you, she would just tell her family to back off.

Danielle,
I see you on the show and you have a great body you APPEAR to be a great mom. However, have a little class, that scene at the table on episode 2, going into the bathroom. Dude, how old are you? Have some class, lady! You are beautiful, but you still need to have a little class. Also don't look so needy, it is very unattractive. You can have the best body, and look good but if the attitude is not there then NO ONE is going to see anything but that.

Hi Danielle,
I just have to say YOU ROCK! Your a great person and mom you will find the right guy.

Love Ya,

Lori from Wayne,NJ

Danielle: I want to say to you that you are a very honest straight forward lady. You say it like it is! Not, too many people can handle that. I can also see that when you are a friend to someone you give your all to that person and expect that person to be loyal and true to you and not be a hypocrite. I totally agree with you on this. I have a melancholy-sanguine personality and just have a couple of friends not too many because the ones I do have love me for me and thats what makes a true friendship.
Love you just the way you are! Don't worry your true love will come but make him work for your love not you work for his love okay! Love You- Carmen M. Florida

Danielle, Danielle, I don't give a rat's --- what that books says about you I like you.

1. Please date some interesting men, go out of your comfort zone, location, race and age, pick someone with an interesting hobby

2. Your girls, love them!!! don't change a thing,

3. Make your husband pay up and move along

4. I just wrote on Dina's page, love her but:
a. tell her a-- off and don't speak to her
b. or talk to her but make no effort to be overly friendly just act like you are no one to be impressed by, I didn't like that slick stuff she did at your house and I told her.

5. start a business! You're too honest and smart not to succeed

Muah girl...... keep it going

I apologize in advance if this has already been brought up to you...I am way behind on this show.
There is an apparently new invention (to you) out there called a job. You go there, do work and in return you get a paycheck. From that paycheck you pay bills, buy food, clothing for you and your family and if you are very lucky save some for that proverbial rainy day that comes along. I don't understand what you are teaching your daughters by waiting for "man" to come along and save you? Alot of women save themselves....in fact most have to. You might have to downsize some(horrors!!!!) but you would be fine. Maybe it's Dina jealousy because she married someone who has what you want most $$$$$$$$$$$$$

keep your head up...we have ALL made mistakes in our past, and no one should judge unless they have walked in your shoes. stay strong. God Bless.

danielle, i wonder what is wrong with your eye brows
they are getting closer to your hairline every second
and your lips look like those of a duck, i think your
fake and very pushy.

You make the show interesting, love drama. But you would look way hotter without all the enhancements.

I think you can't win with these catty women, Danielle. Stop trying and stop being so needy. I can tell you that this show is the most boring Housewives show Bravo has ever done. I'm not interested in the antics of Caroline's family - nice or not nice as they are. I think you need to get a job, then you won't have so much time on your hands to think up irrelevant bs. At 46, you have a lot of growing up to do and I don't have the time to watch and see if it happens on Bravo. It ain't gonna. Those women are jealous, don't like outsiders and you will NEVER get 'in' their group. Who would want to? So, step up and make your children proud by being the strong woman you think you are. You're not really, but there's hope. Get a job, get some outside interests and stop dwelling on men so much. And rich isn't everything, sweetie, it's just a state of mind!

Danielle:
You are too concered about finding a man to support you. Downsize to a more appropriate house - yours is too dated, anyway. Get somthing more tasteful and interesting and get a job. Learn to live on your own and when you do get your settlement, put it away for the girls education - don't blow it on clothes and a new McMansion.

You women are the reason people laugh at "new jersey" and the people with their big, tacky houses. 401 pair of jeans - you should be ashamed of yourself, blowing money on nonsense like that. Even if I won the lottery for 100 million, I would never live in a house like the jersey women or buy 401 pair of jeans. I would buy beautiful and expensive clothing, but not so much of it. I would buy a tasteful house with beautiful furnishings - not that cheap looking crap that Theresa bought at that crappy store. Think to yourself, "what would Julia Roberts buy?" or "what would caroline kennedy buy?"- They have class and taste. Get it?

Danielle,

I can understand you needing a friend and going to talk to them at their play date but if you go to talk that means you have to listen at some point right? I have two nephews who get dragged threw the mud everytime their mother or father dates someone new they bring them around and then boom they are gone and the kids are left wounder why. Your girls are older then the boys but still it has to have some effect one them think about that with the next guy. Oh yea what are you going to do when the school calls and says you daughter was with a guy in the bathrom? Have you have heard of a JOB why does a man have to come save you and take care of you is that what you want for you girls you love them but your self more.

hey D,
it's pretty clear that you can't embrace these women and expect the same treatment in return. Even if there were truth in the fact that you were a stripper...it's no one's business. it's not the woman you are today...so who cares. Women are usually catty, bitchy, judgemental and jealous. If you can find even one true friend your lucky. Good luck to you. p.s. you and your girls are gorgeous!

Danielle,

I wanted to tell you something. First, I've never been a "Housewives" fan (any of them). But, the other night I was doing my laundry and nothing was on TV, so I started watching you New Jersey girls. Well, let me tell you, "I'M HOOKED NOW!" You are extremely entertaining, yes you’re CRAZZZY! but definitely entertaining. I watch the show now because of you. Second, you have a rocking body and it's an inspiration to me, especially since I usually have to drag my ass to the gym every morning. Third, your girls seem really sweet, smart, and healthy which mean your doing something right as a mother. Lastly, we all have pasts and that’s where the past should stay. We learn from our mistakes, it’s what makes us who we are. I've made some bad decisions in the past and I don't regret them, because without those mistakes, I wouldn’t have the wonderful life that I have now. So, don't let those other "Jersey Girls" make you doubt or feel bad about yourself. Oh' and the show would be soooooo boring if you weren't on it! Buona Fortuna, Bella!

I too have a questionable past and I clawed my way to being an Executive at a Bank. I worry that people will find out about all the bad things I did in the 80s but at the end of the day.....it made me who I am today so I embrace it. Whenever I refer to my "bad days" people don't believe that I ever did such things. Danielle......I may not agree with the way you behave but I respect you for getting where you are no matter how you did it. I hope that in next week's episode that you will "OWN IT" and not be ashamed. Who cares what people think? I respect you.

Drama Queen

Hi
I realy think it sucks that your,so called friends were not supportive when you needed them. After all,every girl needs a friend to depend on ,specially when u are going through a rocky relationship. I think they were selfish and unfair. I truly hope that u find true girlfriends in the future honey, and be strong.

VIEWERS IS DANIELLE A TROUBLE MAKER OR A DRAMA QUEEN????!

Was there any part of your head that thought "gee, if I go on a TV show, my past my come up?" --- I mean the media was bound to dig it up.

Danielle it's obvious that your friendship with jacqueline will have to end, i believe that she will choose them over you. And I also think that you would kick the sh-- out of Dina if you had too, and yes that b---- knows she has botox. She's a huge liar

Danielle you are only one word I can think of - fierce!! I can tell you are a wonderful mother. Your girls are smart and seem to be excelling in school. Don't worry, I get your humor, and honestly I find the sex comments funny, I just think that people who you haven't known very well are taken aback a bit. But girl, you are a woman and a sexual being so don't be afraid to show it! Just don't do it by breaking up with someone on national TV, lol. But I gotta love you for being fierce. You are the reason the ratings are up.

Keep looking after your beautiful daughters, they have one hot mama!

Hey Danielle..i think you are full of spunk and fun..you are a real person with real issues..you don't act fake and tell it how it is..i am soooo tired of you letting the other girls bash you..i think you need to stay away from them and show them where you came from(parents etc) them maybe the housewives will understand you better..i wish u the best and i hate dina..and that nose right? lol she looks like an orange peel...And Caroline ..haaa please.we are thick as thieves shit... think your soo tough until her money is taken away from the IRS? LOL You need to stop taken shit from people and manage other relationships..and stay away from that guy....ughh...And they baby there kids tooo much..

Danielle,
I love your taste in jewelry! I especially liked the black beaded necklace with the cross that you wore in the episode where you were waiting for Gucci Model. Can you tell me designer? Thanks :) BTW, love the show!

Danielle you got trust problems the way I see you in very single episode you always go to your daughters when you can talk to Jacqueline and the other housewives about it but you think you have the nerve to see it your way when you can look at it in a positive light. Dani you just suck out all the fun because you need to lighten up. Look at the situations from a positive light instead of a negative light and start being a parent because your kids need you.

Danielle you are a tough cookie but not charismatic like the other housewives because you like to start stuff, provoke,and bicker with them and you seem like your so perfect because your in your own little world. You've got to start being nice to these women or they will not want to talk to you or see you anymore because of the squat you give them especially ( Dina, Caroline, Teresa)but you have to have Jacqueline by your side all the time you even have Jacqueline defend for you when you can defend for yourself how old are you grow the hell up and start defending yourself instead of having somebody else do it for you
