Danielle

Don't worry about whatever anyone has to say about u. Stay Strong. People just dont have anything better to do than to talk about others when people stand up for someone they r just doing it because there on TV. You know who your real friends r. Just be happy of who u r. If i was there i would of stuck up for u.

Karen

Make your mantra..."So be it". Embrace your beautiful daughters and live your best life. Start to keep a private journal. Start each day with a positive thought and live it. Reflect each night on how your day went. Be kind to yourself. Thank you. L.

daniella move on
you are women thats been deeply hurt i hope and pray that you get to know God he is the one that can love you with a true love
and i hope you meet a man that that will just love you for you not your body
you are worth so much dont give yourself to men and i iam a men
men are pigs well alot of them take good care
and the other girls need to grow up and help you this is not high school anny more !!!

DANIELLE:
You are an honest lady whom I respect very much. I believe that no one is perfect. Everybody makes mistakes. Some did more at young age. Anyhow, there is no point for any one of other housewives to attack you about something you did in the past especially well over two decades. I have sympathy for your situation as a young girl without parent's guidance and such thing happened to you while you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Jacqueline is a nice woman. I also like her very much. Dina and Carolina are evil bitches and they should be cut out of your life. Danielle, stay strong, you still look very attractive and healthy. I hope besides taking good care of yourself and your children, you should also consider taking up a career. You were a model in the past. With your previous experience in front of the camera, you may consider looking for a job in entertainment business such as radio show host, TV game show host as a beginning before moving onto some serious stuff. I would like to see you more on TV. I need to stess that everyone deserves second chance. You definitely deserve an opportunity to start a new life for your family. You also deserve true love. Please stop phone sex. You never know what kind of man on the other side of the phone line. What happen if that man is a psycho, a crook or an accomplice of your ex-husband.

I wish you well, Danielle, and I hope your friendship with Jacqueline can last.

Good luck!!!!

Danielle,

Thank you for standing up to Theresa's husband. His homophobic comments were unacceptable and you seem to be the only person on the cast that cared enough to speak up.

Bravo to you

Danielle, Here's the thing...If not for you, this group of women would NEVER have been picked to do this show.Individually, and as a group, they are just not interesting enough to merit a show of their own. And the blonde...I feel sorry for her. She is one of those people who is bound and determined to be unhappy, no matter what the situation. She needs help.

I only like you and Jacq... The other HW are petty, jelous and so hateful! they seriously need a life other than yours... They obviously focus and envy you... I hate them all with the exception of Jacq. what that hell is she doing w/ that family?

Just wondering what it is you do for a living? You have a beautiful home and your kids seem to want for nothing. What is your secret?

Danielle, except for Jacqueline I find all of you to be narcissistic, obnoxious and spoiled housewives who hold no loyalties to anyone but themselves. You are the most dysfunctional of all of them. Who in the heck has phone sex with online men and expect them to actually show up in person to a meet! Why don't you leave Jacqueline alone and stop trying to manipulate her. And no one HAS to come in and rescue you financially. If you don't have any money get a job. Did you ever stop to think of all the hard working NJ housewives who do work hard and get no tv credit for all the work they put in? NO?

Out of all of the HW's shows, I do not know why Bravo decided to do this one(New Jersey). I do not feel that any of the women except for Danielle have a personality either bad or good. The other women appear not to be very educated, unsophisticated, mean spirited and hateful. Why does Dina get on T.V. and acts as if she is better, considering she married her brother-in-law's brother give it a rest. I thought Orange County was bad, but this takes the cake. I will try and give it a chance but, if Bravo is going to give it another season, they should try a different approach please. I do not watch a lot of T.V. and I accidently started to watch New York which I love, Atlanta I like, Orange County o.k. but New Jersey I don’t know.

Thanks for reading, a loyal fan of Bravo.

Danielle,

I am curious why you put Jacqueline in the middle between you and her sister in law, Dina... If you want to have problem solved between you and Dina.. My sister and I have watch your show... You are one of a big drama on the show but you are honest...
If Dina don't want to do anything for you anymore or didn't invited you to be in her Ladies's Night out.. You should of give Dina some respect.. I don't want to see Jacqueline caught in a middle between you and Dina..

Thanks,
Desert City Girls

Danielle,

I love you! I've been watching the show since it first aired and you're by far my favorite! I myself want others to like me so badly, i will go out of my way to try and be-friend them. It made me so upset when you had opened up your house for a spa party and Dina and her sister were cackling and making rude comments about you. Even Jacqueline didn't stand up for you...I know what it's like to have a sister-in-law and a friend who do not get a long. And trust me, a true friend will stand up for you no matter what the connection is!

Danielle, I have watched every episode of the RHW and I must say you are by far the most honest of them all. However that could be a bad thing. You should focus on your kids as much as you do yourself. I'm also a recent divorcee and after the breakup of my 2nd marriage I decided to foucs on ME. I don't have kids just me and my dog. It's hard getting back on dating scene, I have not ventured to far into that scene just yet and not really looking forward to it. What I have been doing is taking care of me and that means body, mind and soul. You have the body foucs on the other two. I have become very picky about what I want out of my next relationship and maybe that's why I have not been on dating scene. If you have standards then don't compremise them for no one. For instance the young guy you're dating ???? what is that about? He doesn't seem like he's in your league. I don't know if he has money but from the looks of him I would guess NOT. Why waste your time and good looks with him he's a KID! You're a Goddess believe it.

Danielle, I'm confused, Dina obviously dosen't like you, so get over it!!!! Not everyone has to be friends. And when you said you need your divorce settlement so that you won't loose your house or loose all means to support your children, you would think that you wouldnt be throwing a spa party and paying for everyone's treatments just so they will like you. IF YOURE AS HARD UP FOR MONEY AS YOU SAY YOU ARE WE ALL KNOW WHY!!!! Quit spending money on yourself and stupid shit like trying to buy freinds and start supporting your girls. And as a mother I would NEVER say what you say about sex and your boyfriends on tv. Your girls must be so embarrased of you, my heart goes out to them. Start acting like a lady and a mother and put your kids before sex. It's not that hard, unless youre trying to turn them into tramps like you, i dont know. And as for you telling them you meet men online, NOT A GOOD IDEA!!! IT's very unsafe and if you do it your girls will think it's ok and it's not! Start using common sense honey, it'll do you good. And enough botox, your eyebrows look like youre scared all the time.

I HAVE WATCHED ALL VERSIONS OF HOUSEWIFES AND THERE IS ALWAYS 1 WHOSE THE "UNDERDOG"...AND THEY ALWAYS COME OUT ON TOP...DANIELLE YOU TOO WILL COME OUT ON TOP...SEEMS LIKE YOUR CAST MATES GOT A BAD CASE OF FINGER POINTING...
EVEN IF THINGS DID HAPPEN IN THE PAST,SO WHAT,IT'S THE PAST...I THINK A FEW OF THEM SHOULD BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THERE PRESENT SITUATIONS AND FEDS KICKING DOWN THERE DOOR...

Except for Jacqueline, I find the Manzo clan very dysfunctional. No decent Christian family would act the way they do, let alone air it. Obviously, the priest who appeared on the show condones their behavior. These Catholic priests nowadays!!!

And Danielle, if you want to be a tramp that's your right but what kind of mother would talk the way that you do on air, especially about oral sex? It was obvious by the look on your boy toy's face that he only liked you for one thing. I feel very sorry for your girls because of the embarrassment that you will cause them.

They should rename the show The Real Smut of NJ.

one word: Cougar!

I love all these shows! I can't wait to find out what happened to Beverly Merrill!

Danielle, you are the coolest chic on that show. Jacqueline is FAKE and not trustworthy so please be very careful with her. Dina is just a lucky bitch that married the RIGHT guy with the RIGHT amt of money. She is not worth your time. Stop being so nice to her! Caroline is OLDDER so i don't see why she's on that show?

I'm a male and love the show as does my girlfriend. I truly love all the drama and can't wait for the next episode. I hope everything works out in your favor and sometimes people have to go through some tough times to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have faith in your future and expect great things to happen to you and your family. All the best in trying to find that golden husband...i think you should look within yourself to get through all this and be a great role model to your girls.

Fan

Not that this will get posted.. I have tried 1 million times..

Danielle,
Why should someone come and save you.. Get off your butt and help yourself. You have 2 daughters to think about. You are setting a bad example for them. You are desperate and seem to think about sex all the time. The scene at the High Lawn was revolting. I go there all the time and will never be able to use the Ladies room again.

Maybe Chris will hire you to work in the strip club.. after all isn't that what your old job was.

I would much rather be known for being overly nice and uncautious than to be known for trying to sabatoge people.

Danielle, please quit trying to get Dina to like you. She only hates you because she knows you are a much more likeable person. Her sister-in-law would not be friends with her, if it were not for the family connection. I know you are loyal, but Jacqueline is not a trustworthy friend because she will not stand up to those shrews on your behalf. Another poster gave you some great advice about reading some books on females and relational styles with other females. I am a therapist, and reading to gain understanding about these issues is an important therapeutic step for you at this stage in your life. There are so many other women out there who would want to have a friend like you. A divorce is a trying time and often women find themselves mixed in with the wrong people. Experimentation is part of the deal; however, you have to learn when to move on(from men and women). The focus on your daughters is a good thing,establish strong bonds with them and teach them how to be in decent, strong, supportive friendships with other women.

So far you are the only person I could be friends with on your show. The rest are really nasty acting divas wannabes.

i love danielle, she's honest but nice at the same time. i think dina is such a hypocrite, its so obvious she does lip injections. she's not a girl's girl that's for sure!

I watched the show last night for the first time and have to say it made me depressed to think that in this day and age a woman like you would say she was waiting for man to come along and "take care of her and her children" as if she were incapable of doing it on her own. Having lived through a divorce and single motherhood myself I am so proud for having rebuilt our lives with my own two hands and feet. You totally underestimate yourself if you think you can't do it alone. If along the way you meet a wonderful man (as I was fortunate enough to do) then all the better. But having been through it I would NEVER place my or my children's future in the hands of someone else. Nor would I teach my daughters that they need a man to be complete.

I am not really crazy about how dirty she talks on the show. I't makes her look well, I don't think I have to say the words.

Danielle,

Please read a book about women, relationships, and how they use relational aggresion to tear other women apart for absolutely no reason. I myself am in your exact same shoes in a circle of females, just different ridiculously wealthy community, and different women hating for no reason. Find a therapist, not because you're weak or "need help", but because you need someone who will keep your innermost thoughts confidential. Its too bad that women that could BE so strong, influential, and accomplish so much spend their time ripping others apart. Truly a shame, classless, and a display of their complete lack of character. My suggestion to the other women: mature.

Anytime you need someone to talk to!! Stay away from those jersey jerks! New york has nice guys for you. I understand how you feel alot during the show. You are the hottest one on that show. dont forget that!

I thought you were coming off to strong and you were forcing something that wasn't there. I think you should of just said what you had to say about the issue and that you didnt want to fight with her and left it there and if she wanted to be friends with you then that was that and if she didnt then hey!!! Dont let anyone get you down.

Danielle,

I am so glad that a lot of the other viewers who have written comments have been mostly supportive. I feel the same way they do--I believe you are a good person and are doing the best you can. Whatever is in your past is your past, you can only learn from it and move on. If people choose not to like you because of something they heard about you, they aren't worth your time. You are not your mistakes--you are a human being trying to be the best you can be. You have to love yourself first and forgive yourself if you have messed up. If you hurt somebody, ask them to forgive you--if they don't, it's not your problem. Above all, seek God's forgiveness and His help because that's the only way you or I are ever going to make it.

Love you, God bless you!

Dearest Danielle, You are not doing the right thing. And you know it. It's not normal to be giving your kids that example. You're just teaching them to be insecure and think that all they have are their looks...right? Think about what you're teaching your girls...they watch and learn, remember that. Promiscuity is not what you want for them. Believe in yourself. You don't need a man to take care of you and your kids. You can do that yourself. You are kind of embarrassing us all with your behavior. But i know you will eventually understand what that means. I just hope it's not too late for you and your children to heal... I hope the show is paying you enough to put your kids through this.

You are the most honest of the housewives. Jacqueline is certainly a sweetheart, but does not always speak up. I think because you speak up, the others who are used to having the upper hand, get nervous.

I don't think there's anything wrong with hoping to be financially stable, especially for your kids. I think the other housewives are embarrassing themselves by saying you are always talking about $... it's clear they are comfortable with the support of their husbands. It's not unreasonable in this world to want some sort of financial stability, especially when you have children.

Hang in there!

Danielle you are WYSWIG . what yyou see is what you get . That is real as it gets these other women have secrets that is why they need to expose you to cover their own a2$%

Love you Daniella, The next time you have a Spa party invite some real friends.... Like me! I wish I had a friend that would be so nice to have a spa party and invite their own personal doctor and give free Cosmetic gifts. That was so nice and expensive and I would have been so grateful and appreciative for you being so thoughtful because some of us just dream of having cosmetic gifts because we can't afford that stuff. Those bitches were ugly to you in your house and in your face for such a wonderful party... Drop those girlfriends! And get you some New Ones........ And keep on being YOU!

Ok so I enjoy watching the Real Housewives, no matter what city is being showed. Danielle, I do think you have a big heart and I can respect your honesty with your daughters. The problem I see is that you care about what people think when honestly you shouldnt. People are going to say nasty things about others no matter what and that is life. As far as the situation between you and Dina, I think the two of you should just leave each other alone. There is no need to try to figure out why Dina says nasty things about you and there is no need for you to entertain anything. Leave it alone Danielle, you are better than that. You look amazing and keep on doing your thing girlfriend.

You look so cute in your Alice and Olivia pink polkadot dress....

You place too much emphasis on what people think about you and they will come around on their own time, if at all. It's hard being alone, but you do have your children who love you and looking at it in that aspect, you are not alone.

Seriously, I watched the episode tonight with my 11 year old daughter (yeah, a mistake) and told her, "Don't EVER become dependent upon a man."

Thanks for the example of what NOT to do as a woman. Get a job, Danielle.

Hang in there girl. My mom raised me and my older sister as a single parent, she got married to my dad, they divorced then she got married again and got divorced again. Trust me, you'll be fine, hang in there and DO NOT worry about your kids because they'll learn from any and all of your mistakes. Take my advice and talk to them about everything, don't keep them in the dark. And as for Dina, please don't waste your time, keep in classy and F*ck her if she wants to waste her time talk crap about you. Tell her to get a life.

Danielle,

You may want to consider getting a...JOB!!!

The Pass is the pass. If for some reason you needed to dance to pay your bills so what!!!. You did what you needed to do to live or maybe you just enjoyed it. That is your business. Tell those Housewives they dont have a heaven nor a hell to put you in so don't judge you.
Aishah.

I THINK THAT DANIELLE IS TRYNIG DESPERATLY TO HAVE SOME FRIENDS, BESIDES HER DAUGHTERS, AND OTHER HOUSEWIVES JUST DON'T GIVE HER THE OPPORTUNITY, THEY HAVE A LOT OF PREJUDICES AGAINST THE PPL WHO ARE DIFFERENT, AND WHO SEE THE WORLD DIFFERENTLY...SO RICH, BUT SOOO CLOSE MINDED ):

Is anybody else tired of these housewives?! I feel like I have reached my breaking point in watching these shows. Spoiled rich housewives that are put on television just to make themselves wealthier. What about the hard working housewives that actually have jobs and have more worries than what type of marble to put in their million dollar homes? To me, this is ludicrous. Although the show is entertaining, and the women seem like good people, I would love for Bravo to focus on some everday people!

Danielle, you should seek out other female friends because these women obviously do not accept you and maybe their acceptance is really not all that important.

Danielle,

I LOVE the medalion necklace you were wearing in episode 2 and episode 3!!! You had it on several times during the show. Does the necklace/medalion have a specific name? Where can I find one??? I am really all about this necklace and have got to have one!!! Or I am going to drive my friend crazy with the obsession of finding the necklace!!!
Thanks,
A Fan

You are in great shape and deserve to be damn proud of that. Please share your workout secrets with the rest of us. We'd all like to copy your routine!

hi danielle....its me Anthony (big Anthony) remember we met at"the Avenue" in long branch...what gives...any problems you call me okay??????????????
i'll take care of anybody thats problems with you......okay darling, had a great time with you.....see ya soon!!!!!

Danielle, I'm a huge fan of all the housewife's shows. At the beginning of NJHW's I did not know how to take you. But after reading your blog, I have to say, I really think like you. But, I have to agree with Trish, I'm not understanding, if there is a court order for your ex-husband to pay a settlement, why is he getting away with not paying you. Does he not care about his children??? I hope as the show goes on we will see that he HAS to pay, per court order. Also, I do feel that maybe getting a job would do you a world of good. I'm not judging you by any means, I just think it would be helpful. I can't wait to watch the show this week, as I'm soooo into these shows. Keep your chin up. Good things will come your way.

I'll be honest in episode 1 you showed up at the salon where the girls were getting ready for "Girls night out". And said "I wouldn't go out with ya'll if you begged me". Then turned around and said "Are you still going to Ciprianni's, so then it wouldn't be a problem if I showed up would it?". You call yourself a friend to Jacqui however you didn't seem to discern the uncomfortable situation you were willing to put her in with her family. I'm going to be very honest with you from what I've seen so far you seem like a real Drama Queen and that is all well and good until your drama becomes someone else's drama. I'm sure you have potential it's just not apparent yet. Good luck on the show. I hope there is more to you than just a great body and phone sex. Oh really quick I and you both know that during the 1st episode when you got stood up you were hurt. What made you look like an idiot was when you called the creep on the phone in front of the other women at the bar and pretended to be so hardcore. I and all of America were fully aware.

I'll Holla

Dina why would you say that you are Ashely's biggest
fan? It looked like Jacqueline was kinda like, "What the hell be your own daughters' biggest fan." "Even though me and my daughter fight a lot I'm still her biggest fan."

Hey D, girl I Love you on the show your my favorite. Dina have a problem with you and you tried to be friends but I think personally that won't happen so just continue be yourself.

Hola Chica,

Ghurrl are you fo real! Me thinks u need to work on an um, edu-macation instead of your looks. Honey because beauty fades but DUMB if forever. You can say what you want about Dina, but she has a skill and is involved with a worthy cause. You on the other hand are a bad example for your girls and females. You seem to be lazy and a bit daft. Stop being on the prowl for men and get a skill, career and purpose, ie life. You can be pitiful or powerful but you can't be both.

Danielle:
just 3 words...GET A JOB!!!!! Why the hell do you need a man for financial security???? You are setting the wrong example for your girls. I've raised my son on my own, and it was a great accomplishment. There are plenty of single mom's out there doing it on their own, what makes you so special? Seriously?

How are you trying to find someone to love you and your girls, when you are trying to have sex in a restaurant bathroom on your first date? Yea, that will get you a longterm relationship......I mean seriously, how do you expect him to respect you. I am a guy, and know if that were to happen, we would have no serious relationship after that, just would be a hit & run a few times a month. your truly a looser when it comes to that.

The quote is, "It's better to have loved and LOST than never to have loved at all."

Danielle
I'm hooked on the housewives...my fave were the NY because of the charities, their friendships and the glamour. Unfortunetly, these housewives of new jersey seem to be "new rich" people, so sad, that people who have been blessed by wealth act this way, and buy everything on their way. Dina & Teresa both are Italian trash, can't u see, they certainly have no clue what class means. It would had been great for them to attend the last episode of the NY housewives to see thier trashy look! HA!
anyways, certainly you love your friend jackie, but do not beg dina or teresa, no matter what your past has, no matter how you come across, you had a fabulous life, you know what having it all is all about, you don't need them around, their untrainable, they will never be but the new rich. thats all, who cares about people like that.

Danielle-I am originally from Allendale, 1974 till 2005, so I probably lived there longer than you have. Why in God's name do you have a show where you talk about men the way you do, and your children will see it? I mean I don't care if you had a bad marriage in the past or whatever, we all go through things like that. The other women need to get a grip on that. But to have a man so much younger than you and say the things you do, about the phone sex, I mean, your children are your best friends you say..I'm sorry I just would never ever want my children to hear my say these things?! I'm sure this has all been said on all the comments so I won't go on and on. I moved out of Bergen County because of all the woman you hang out with, I'm sure you know how much they talk behind your back and I'm disgusted with this Housewives. It's trashy and I think you have more class than that to have had your name attached to it. That is sad...

Daniella, hummm....dear, there is something twisted about you. sorry. You put yourself out there in a way that doesn't flatter or back up who you say you are..first, i do alot of internet dating. Unlike you i am looking for a partner not a man to take care of me, if he comes with comforts great if not, as long as he is good where he needs to be! Your crazy to meet anyone who doesn't want to provide a name.....or a picture...and putting or swapping nude pics of you with others is not the way to get a man..if you need to get laid, i am certain you must have friends with benefits.....You do look your age or older, you may be fit but yo uhave a very hard rough edge about you, it isnt soft...it is obvious you miss that famly niche..but then girl you aint gonna acquire it at the pace your going either......your ex should just cough up what he needs to give you....that i do agree....and your kids seem very good girls. perhaps to me that is your best feature, your girls. its not that i think your a bad person, but you are a tad shady in your personality. not good. so, if the other housewives dont feel comfortable with you, they are on target.

Hi Danielle,
I couldn't help but notice your gym, and how you like to work out. I am a personal trainer that specializes in in-home clientele. If you haven't tried having a personal trainer in home, you should. Look me up at www.eaglefitnessllc.com

Danielle,
You are an interesting person. Its hard to be single sometimes. I think you need a refresher course, as things are different as we get older, then when we were single when younger.

In watching you interact with the dating world, you might want to pull back and up the femininity mentally as well as physically (where you do a good job). In other words, wait for the guy to compliment you, don't offer sex wait to be asked and then make him wait a little...don't give yourself away on these fronts. Men like a challenge, and sometimes when you look so sexyish they need to feel the feminine part coming from your mind. The part that yes, does want to be taken care of.

I highly recomment Dr. Pat Allen's "Getting to I Do" for you, please get it. And a quick read of "The Rules" will never hurt....then you will be even more of catch for some lucky guy who will jump through hoops for you. It happened to me and it can happen to you. Hope you don't mind the advice!

I really felt for you when that jerk didn't show up at the bar. You are so right that they guy was not who he obviously said he was because I had a very similar experience with an online man from NJ. I later found out he was a married loser who talked a big game but was really a little loser. Good luck to you, you will find your prince.

Danielle...

I have no strong opinions about the housewives of NJ either way except to say that I love the show. That being said, you may be a wonderful person; however, you are not coming across well. Chalk it up to editing or what have you, but as confident as you say you are, I can only believe that you are probably an extremely insecure person based on what I have viewed thus far. It's really too bad since you have two absolutely gorgeous girls looking up to you.

I would never, in a million years, wait more than a half hour for a date, and that's only if he's called me to say he's sitting in traffic or what have you. And if a man says I look beautiful, my natural response is, "Thank you"; not, "Yes," and "You're so lucky."

Please, please, stop trying to compete with Dina. She thinks you're crazy, and I honestly cannot blame her. Keep your distance, be yourself, and good luck.

You seem to want to impress guys by sleeping with them or try to always use your sexuality to get the guys.
Why don't you try to be yourself. They would probally like you for you. The guys that you take to bed or if you are on a date (the bathroom) that is all that they will want you for.......wake up.

Danielle, you seem like a nice person but you can also be toxic. Stop creating problems for Jacqueline, you dont have to like her in-laws, so why do you always start drama. Are you so desperate to hang with Jackie and her in-laws that you act like a jealous B****?. Why do you think no one wants you around? I would not!

Your girls are beautiful, but you are putting your life and that of your kids in danger with your poor dating choices. You are a beautiful woman, with low self esteem and low self worth. You should not be dating, as it seems you are an accident waiting to happen. Dating should be fun, not suicidal.

Danielle, I love the fact that you really take the time to keep physically fit. I loved the little pink poof dress you wore in the last episode and it was so cute. I really understand you being single, wanting to stay looking great, and trying to find a delicate balance between dating and being a good mom.

There's a lot of things that you say that really make sense and it's too bad the other ladies don't seem to give you a chance. After all, there way from being perfect, but expect everyone to just take it, while every thing you do, good or bad, is scrutinized and suspicious.

Keep being you. Stop talking to your ex on the phone. Get your attorney and seize assets to compensate for the settlement he's suppose to give you. That's not one person you need to worry too much about being nice too. He made his bed, now he needs to lie down in the mess of a settlement he now finds himself in. If you can't do it for yourself..do it for the girls. It will also make them stronger seeing you taking up for yourself and for them to get what's rightfully and lawfully yours.

I certainly wouldn't worry so much about being in this 'in' crowd. Why try to cozy up to Dina, who's as scary as her hairless cat, Theresa, the married prostitute-baby factory, or the helicopter marshmellow mom? I don't see that there connected enough that it's worth your dignity trying to fit it.

You grew up alone and in a way you'll always be a little bit set apart from everyone else. Embrace your identity and independence and by all means, develop a career for yourself. You are so so so capable of being that business woman.

Hi Danielle,

From the 2 episodes us viewers have seen so far, your 2 daughters seem the most well behaved! They seem like truly nice girls. You are raising them right! Kudos to you.

HOWEVER, I do think when the girls are older and can watch these episodes it will affect them negatively. You were on a date with a guy that you stated in your blog is not a "forever" guy..so he should NOT be around your children for one..and two, you shouldn't broadcast that you want to have a quickie in the bathroom with him..and you can deny it until you are blue in the face, but we ALL know you either implied a BJ or sex with him in the bathroom...and the 26 yr old was embarassed and told you to finish your meal!!

You seem like you are raising your girls right, but you need to respect yourself..by not sleeping around.

Danielle you are so awesome and your kids seem so normal compared to the other cast's kids. What is up with the charity thing? I don't understand why people would get mad at you for not donating when you aren't part of it. Not everybody is rolling in dough like they are. I would be so pissed off if people expect me to drop $750.

Stay strong and don't let theses ladies bring you down! They don't even know you so they can totally suck it!

Danielle, posting, the same exact comment on both of your blogs is crazy....get my drift here.

This show proves time and time again that money cannot buy class. Needless to say....I love the show. Bring on the drama!

Danielle, for some unknown reason, I really like you and you're my favorite housewife. You're genuine and honest. The other wives don't get you because they are insecure, jealous and needy. You're obviously doing something right as a mother because your daughters are the only unspoiled children on the show. Your girls seem sweet and friendly unlike others who are whiny, demanding, and downright brats.
Don't let the haters like Dina or Teresa get you down. They are pathetic women who bully others to make themselves feel secure.

DANIELLE- STOP WITH THE PHONE SEX AND STUFF LIKE THAT,WHO CARES. I THINK YOU NEED TO STOP TRYING TO BE FRIENDS WITH DINA,SHES NOT WORTH IT. LOOK AT HOW SHE GOT TO WHERE SHE IS. TOO BAD THERES NOT ANOTHER BROTHER!!!!!!! WHAT A LAUGH THAT WOULD BE. SHARON LEE

Do NOT try & be friends with that Dina-woman one second longer! Have more respect & integrity for yourself than to let her even have the satisfaction that you want to be friends with her. She thinks she's Gods-gift to the world...ay-yigh-yigh!

Your comment that " you and your girls need someone to come and rescue you/take care of you" was pretty shallow. Are you for real?

I completely agree 100% with Jessica and her comment about this type of personalities. She hits it right on the nose.
I picked up this red flag immediatley with a comment like "either you love me or you hate me" Why so extreme? A mature, secure and mentally competent person knows there aren't ONLY two options and so on. (IMO)It is an attempt to control another person and every situation they are in, and if it doesn't go their way, they lose it, and bam! There you go. It is extremely negative and no holds bar destructive behavior. Please go see a therapist it might not be to late.
Danielle you are a sad mess to watch.
(IMO)The other women on the show all seem positive and fun. Danielle is a complete opposite, hence spicing up the show, and the producers/casting know exactly what they are doing, that in it self makes me laugh.
It is fun to read the blogs and other peoples opinions, some of them are really funny.
Best to all!

I know you, but not personally. Let me explain. I have lived an extremely full life. I was in the military for an extended period of time. I ran into a variety of people. I am an open book, too open, but nonetheless open. I am not shy and have no problems speaking to people and voicing my opinion in general. I have befirended people like you who seem to easily and happily become a part of my life. We develop a close firendship very quickly. I have ran into a few who are too good to be true and that is you. You are actually a big hot heaping mess of a woman. You have a lot of deep seeded issues, emotionally. You think you are a gift to all men and deserve a rich one to take care of you and your kids. A real women is responsible for taking care of herself at all times. Relying soley on a man for anything shows that you are not a strong woman. Get it together and get a job and a psychiatrist. I am sure your ex would pay for it. You know you lie, appear to be something you are not, and are a "loose" woman. You can repent, but nobody can reverse the miles that you are putting on your body. Be a good example of a strong independent woman and raise those kids with a good role model. Rich men do not want someone your age. You need a reality check from Patty Stanger.

I was a single mom of one ,for yrs. she is grown now. I had to get my hands dirty just like every single mom, your no better than the rest of us to work.
My cousin, bless her heart, once had the a huge house, swimming pool and all the works. Shopped till she dropped and a husband who was screwing her over the whole time. She had four kids. Yes I said four. He left,left with the all the bills (unpaid bills). She lost everything the house, the vehicles everything. She got up and off her ass went to work, went back to school, opened her own shop and raised those four beautiful kids into great responsible adults. They of course had hard times but, she did not stress the kids. So see it can be done.

Here is the thing...I am pretty aware that the ladies of this show receive a salary for appearing. Because of that fact, I know this is why Danielle is on this show. She has made no bones about her financial situation. So here is the thing when people on the comments tell Danielle to not associate with these women, I suspect the contract she signed to do the show says otherwise.

Like Kelly on RHNYC, Danielle doesn't hang with this group and they probably only met her a short time prior to the filming. Obviously something happened with Dina and Danielle and now Bravo has the drama it craves that drives up ratings.

This is why I like the original RHOC. Those ladies were all friends well before the show aired and most lived in the gated community of Coto de Caza...exception Laurie who at least used to live there and was friends with the group.

Of all the girls on the show, (including Teresa's), yours are the most beautiful, thoughtful, and poised. It's clear they adore you.

Danielle,
I understand where you are coming from. I agree people shouldn't another person, and any issues should between both parties and not the entire audience. As a single mom I learned not to share everything with my girls, and as far as dates or dating an individual ,I never brought them home. I wish you all the best!

Danielle,
Have you ever thought that perhaps Dina and Theresa are the insecure ones? You would think they would have other concerns rather than to trash you. Your daughters seem like children (as they should) and not little women, so you can't be all that bad.

Even with all the trappings of money and good fortune these women are still lacking. Stay away and find some good friends. Jacqueline is a hanger on. She loves the money and is tolerating being bullied and belittled by her sister-in-laws for this reason. You are better off with out a friend like Dina.

I am an Italian 40 year old mom of an 18 year old daughter, and I keep myself in good shape, but, I need to know:
How do you keep your body so hot! Give me some of your tips! Again, I am not putting myself down, I have a great personality, pretty, and in good shape, but, what is your regimen? What kind of work out do you do! Nothing against the other housewives, as, I love you all, but, I believe they are jealous of your appearance, and rightfully so! Angel

You're doing the best you can and that's all you can do. Hang in there! :)

Regarding the ex: Call your lawyer.

despite what the show is making you look like, i think inside you really are a good person. take it down a notch as someone else said, and just be yourself. good luck with everything!

You seem quite desperate for people to like you--Dina, the "dates", etc. Why do you care so much for Dina's approval? Surely there are other people in your area that you can be friends with.

Danielle. I think you are a beautiful and very nice woman and mother. It makes me feel bad for you, seeing how misunderstood you seem to be to the other women. Just hang in there and in time your good intentions will shine through. You have your beautiful daughters to spend time with, and I'm sure that in no time at all, you will find love with a man who truly cares of you. I felt so bad when you were stood up at Lua, but it was cool that your friends were there to cheer you up. You know, when you stop looking for love, it will certainly find you. So buck up and keep smiling and I'm sure things, both financial and emotional, will turn in your favor before you know it. And, don't take any of these negative comments to heart and make you sad. You know who you are and you will rise from the ashes! Mark my word!

i agree with the comment jan made

I am rooting for you and I hope that you will make it through. These people fail to realize you're paid for being on the show. Do like the NYC wives and write a book about your experiences. I think you're the most interesting wife but I feel so sad for you at time. You deserve compassion but you must give it also. File down the claws and use a softer touch. Its easy to draw people into your life but to keep them, you must show gentle care. I learned the hard way.
