Soul Searching

Danielle thanks her supporters, and asks her castmates to consider the harm they've caused.

June 9, 2009

Hello Everyone,

Here we are at Episode 5! It’s going so fast it seems. I hope all of you are enjoying the ride. Again, I want to say thank you to all of you who publicly approach me and extend your support, love and kindness towards me.

I have to say, I feel so blessed to meet all of you whether online, on Facebook, or in public settings. All of you bring me such happiness when I hear your stories, or your struggles, and it feels so nice to know each and everyone of you relate to some portion of my life that I have shared with you thus far. Thank you to all of the women who are standing by me and building me up, giving me their advice, and taking some from me as well. I simply go the local store for food with my daughters, and I leave with so much more. Recently, there was a wonderful group of cheerleaders, the all-star athletes group and their mom, collecting money outside Collators in my town, Wayne, and they were not only thrilled to see me, photograph with me, etc, but the best was that they really related to me, opened up to me, asked me for my advice on many things, from how I handle what’s going on, on the show, behind the scenes and behind my back, how it makes me feel, and then they tell me it’s enlightening to them that it may be happening to more of us than we think. They ask me about divorce and difficulties on relationships after divorce. They ask me to please inspire them to get back out there themselves. They want more is what they’re telling me. They tell me what great kids I have and that it’s a reflection of me, and that’s my favorite part altogether. They ask how I handle a lot of different situations. All this amounts to them telling me that I help them so much whereas, truth be told, they are the ones helping me. This is only one example but the most recent to show. And I would like to say you are the ones helping. Thank you from the depths of my heart. Thank you to all on Facebook- friends who support and love on a daily basis makes me feel so incredible. Thank you to my beautiful daughters- my world, my life, my inspiration, my best friends, my family- I love you both so, so much.

So the girls are away in A.C., and Steve finds a way to completely insult me and defy my trust. I wish someone would have told me about this when it happened instead of letting my find out this way. I don’t like the way it looks when other women enjoy the pain being caused to another woman- any woman at that. Women should build each other up and not tear each other down. Oh well. I hope it made you feel good to know that would hurt me. I would ask you to consider this: What if you were me and saw that women were laughing and enjoying your pain? Just think about it. Was it nice? I just know I would and will never do this to another woman.

Dear Danielle,
You are great. I like it & love you. Because, you are the one who is make a strong self to get respect, love & good behave. Hope, you will go higher more level & must with your cute girl. Really i proud of you. I don't say you are good as a person. But, i want to say you are different from other person. Wish you good luck. Thank you.

Oh! i think Danielle has a big problem that she must solve in the grace of God but you know what i amazed you personality for such a fighter about the problem you had very impressive to exist in this world because even though i am a man but i am afraid to have this kind of problem.I now say that if its not for you then you have nothing to do it but face that circumstances and just pray i'm sure you can fine the very best answer you will ever maid.Thank you and God will lead your way!!! always!!!

I loved the necklace that you wore on the end of season show when you were all sat round on the couches. Can you tell me what type of stones were in it?

people are to judgemental and need to get on with thier lives like you have danielle we love you and your girls . you have done great raising them and taking care of yourself.Remember we all were born with nothing and live this earth with nothing . but are dignity and love of our loved ones. the other housewives have nothing on you because they seem to be throwing the stones first always. They need to all go to some kinda therapy. including jacquelines daughter. the apple doesnt fall to far from the tree.I dont see danielles girls in any kinda of trouble. and the way all who see the show are going to relize whos the bad apple here. and rotten at that. so keep up the good role of a mother danielle and yr life will be blessed and god is watching over you.

Danielle, From watching you on T.V. I know you have had a rough life. But why do you think you need a bodyguard? Is there some one out to real do you bodly harm? Do you really think that one of the case would? You realy know how to cause drama from nothing. You should try to be more calm with out all the up and down moods. I just don't think your very happy with your life and I truly wish you were. Not all people are out to get you or upset you.

LOL you are so funny. You make the show interesting and I'm STRAIGHT. My sis has me watching the show and I think you and Caroline should jus fight already. Either you need to put her in her place or she needs to do it to you. Trust me it would make the show so much more interesting. lol # 1 show on Bravo fo sho.

XoXo Love you so Much Danielle & thank you for being a WONDERFUL, TRUE & TRUSTING Friend!!! Everyone makes mistakes in their lives, it's WHO you ask for forgiveness from that makes ALL the world of difference in how much you WILL CHANGE,, & EVERYONE is ENTITLED to A CHANGE!!!

Love ALways
Jess

Hey Danielle

You know what sometimes people laugh at you hurt and pain because they themselves are miserable. I would say brush it off your shoulders and move on with your life. I understand that it hurts what people might say and what people might do, but the best way to build yourself up is by watching what you feed yourself, what you listen to and what you may surround yourself by. I definitely believe that your surrounds were definitely not intact because there were these women who had husbands but still so very judgemental about everything. Also, when you surround yourself around certain people you start to wonder about your own life and what's going on in your life. I wouldn't say totally stay away from people but to find yourself you definitely have to stay by yourself. Not forever, but for a while to get more clarity and get a deeper understanding of who you are and exactly what you want. Believe me you definitely don't need anyone to love you, as long as the love you have for yourself is complete that's all that really matters. No one can love you better han you and you don't need no man to complete who you are because that's why God exists. Maybe growing up you really didn't get love and all sorts of things happened like you said, but let those circumstances be the strength to help you keep pushing forward and not relying on anyone to complete you and who you are. A complete person can accomplish any and everything they put their minds to.

Love you always and God loves you a million times more.

Carla

Dear Danielle,

I kow that you can be an even better person if you work out a few kinks about yourself, for starters. The man you want to spend the rest of your life w/ might a great guy who only makes 5 figures a year. You obviously have talent and looks to make money for yourself. You can't play the victim all the time as well and you need to stop putting yourself in bad situations, like you should of never went to the dinner party Teresa threw, but I undrestand that that was the only time to make yourself be known and confront the women, even though it wasn't your place to confront them in the first place it was their responsibility to confront you. I've always have been thought, that if you have a problem w/ someone, let it be known and move on. Another thing, Jacqueline was never really your friend because there was info being shared w/ her from the other women that she should of shared w/ you. These women also contradict themselves. They said that you were inappropriate, well Teresa is very inappropriate, always talking about sex and body parts. They also talk about how you are looking for a man for hismoney, which I do not agree w/ but would they have have married men if they couldn't cater to their needs. With all that said I think they just don't like you. Even if you fit into the woman they would have been friends w/ they still wouldn't have liked you. I know you are good person and kepp moving forward.

DANIELLE, I THINK YOUR WONDERFUL, STRONG, AND VERY ENTERTAINING. ALSO, ALL THOSE BITCHY WOMEN ARE SO OBVIOUSLY JEALOUS. I FOUND IT VERY HARD TO WATCH HOW THEY CONSTANTLY ATTACKED YOU. YOUR A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN- STAY STRONG.

How old are you? You act like you're a teenager. The things that happen to you like going to court to prevent the release of a sextape, those things happen to young girls who don't know better. You are old. You have grown daughters. Your daughters know these things about you which is HORRIBLE!!! This makes for a bad mother. Check yourself "Danielle". You are too old to have these things occur in your life.

Danielle, is real as they come.......I would love to see her team up with Kim from the Housewives in ATL they would be on fire...

Danielle, who cares about your pass and what you have done....Name one person who does not have a pass and made major mistake...Its not like you kill somebody! Half of the folks if they were expose would not leave the house the dirt they done!

What business is it to them who you slept with.....Them so call sisters are so fake and trouble makers...Neither one of them have it going on or cute...They are so jealous they think you coming at their ugly husbands and they are going to miss the meal ticket that brought them to the top!

They are like high school girls can you imagine how they were when they were younger trouble makers and fake friends....Back-stabbers......

You Go D........Fight Back!

Girl, Girl, Girl....Wow!! You are growing and your blog shows it!! Beautiful insights...Bless your heart...the word is "band"...not "Ban"...Band as in, bind together...like a rubber BAND...Ban is a deoderant! :-)
You have been so very wounded by life, and haven't we all? Please, please just concentrate on the good, the positive, the small, tiny blessings each day...discard phoney, plastic people who are teeny, tiny and don't spend the time to search as you do...you are MUCH better off alone than begging after friendships with people who do not want you!!
Men and women alike...God will give you the tip top BEST friends, suiters and husband IF you let go and put your days alllll in his hands...you're on the right track, just keep your mind and heart open, BUT...love yourself enough to save your heart from all that (Yes...you're guilty) DRAMA!! There is so much more in store for you!!
And finally, PLEASE stop depending so heavily upon your girls...they do NOT deserve all this responsibility your insecurity is laying on them...it's another hurdle to jump, but you can do it! You're a sharp lady!

Danielle,
You do not need any of those fake people. They are not your friend, but who cares................they are backstabbing bitches!!!!
The sisters are the worst of the group!!!! On the reunion they didn;t like the fact that the mafia connections were brought up. BUT IT IS OK, WHEN THEY TRY TO SLAUGHTER YOUR NAME AROUND TOWN. Once they are hurt, they don't like it.
They should have never acted that way. Teresa, who I used to like, except for the last two episodes, had no reason to go off like she did at the dinner party.
Anyway,
Keep your chin up and hold it high. You seem to have your head on your shoulders. Anyone should be happy to be your friend.

Girl,
What can I say other than, those two sisters are evil and they need it all taken away.
Stay true we all have things in our closets and we just to do some spring cleaning. Show your girls what life is really all about. Not just nice cars and money.
Dina the Bridezilla and her fat cow sister have more than one closet.
Tracey

just wanted to say if Danielle is looking for a new man i'm more then ready to leave alabama and move to new jersey

Danielle,

I agree with the comment below.. YOU ARE DELUSIONAL! You cannot attack someone in your blog and then say "I am not attacking but pointing out a few struggles in all of this" and think that it erases what you said previously. You talk about other people saying nasty things to hurt you but I've counted equal amounts of nasty comments flowing from your mouth. So who's the victim? You can't start a fight and be the victim at the same time. I think your a sham and too prideful to accurately asses this situation and see that YOUR THE PROBLEM!

Why are many women here claiming/assuming that "everyone has a past". I am getting sick of this - just forcing that notion on "everybody". You don't know that "everyone" has a past. Maybe you and some people like you. Just don't make it everyone just to make yourselves feel better. On the other hand, it is looking like lot of the women here do have a similar kind of past as Danielle's and then they are adding "everyone has a past"... clearly to make themselves feel better.

P.S. Whatever you did in your past is past. We all have a past and I'm sure the ladies in Jersey wouldn't want theirs put out there either. But if it was 25 years ago and you've changed then act like you've changed. Dignity. Such an important word. Lead your life with Dignity. THey love it when they see you sweat so if you don't give them a reaction you've taken their fun away for the day and so they go play somewhere else. Dogs pick at a carcass that lays there and takes it. Move on, shrug it off and show them a thing or two about class. What an example you could've been to your girls! Don't let your incredible neediness lead you through life. People run a mile from needy people, that's why you only have your daughters to talk to. INNAPPROPRIATE!! They should be worried about homework and friends and parties and boys. You've had a rough life. Got it. So have many of us have. But it won't get any better until you start changing the habits that keep the drama coming back. If someone brought up my rather unsavory past(we all have some kind of past we don't want the world to know about), I'd laugh and make a joke about the skeletons I can hear rattling up in their closet and walk away. Keep it light. If you live your life open then the wise saying will apply to you. Those that have nothing to fear, fear nothing. Here's another wise saying my momma always told me growing up. "If you do right, you'll come out right". Never seen it fail. Love your girls and most especially YOU to get some good therapy and teach your girls the right way to handle bad things that happen in life. Good luck girl!

hello danielle iam so proud of you the way you stood up for yourself when they all ambushed you. i think it was wrong and to do that in front of your children. they are the one who are trash everyone makes mistakes no one is perfect only god. and he forgives everyone of there sins so who are they to judge and everyone has skeltons in there closet that they want to stay private.i think that your other cast members has a few there self theres something crooked going on with that bunch . stay strong and take care of your babys love you girl

danielle i love u and jaqueline are my favorite...love and stay srong.

Danielle you are incredibly strong and I admire you a lot. Good for you not backing down to these mean and childish women.

love you Danielle, you go girl!!!

Danielle, hold your head up high. You have done nothing wrong. What you did was something I would do. Who does Dina and Caroline think they are? They act like you have to check in with them if you are going to live in N. J.. I don't think so, they are no body and I bet if someone wanted to check on Dina, they would find she is no angel.
Where is her husband anyway? Works at the BrownStone, I don't think so. Sounds more like he works for the MOB and she is trying to hide it. You and your girls do not need people like that in your lives. Good Luck to you and your family, you will be the one to make it.

After reading all these comments, I am amazed at how there are some people out there that are as delusional as you. You are a drama queen Danielle. You are so lonely up in that pseudo-tower of yours that you are stirring the pot just to feel you matter or you exists. The devotion your kids have foryou should be enough, but it is not. I have watched all the episodes so far, and this I must say I can't stomach you either! I guess you have to be kept around to boost the raitings. How about for a reason to exist?

Whether you realize it or not, the show will be a recording of how you have behaved. Every episode has recorded a behavior that is a bad example to your girls. Ever thought of it that way? Or is the attention too juicy for that to even matter? Bad attention is just that, BAD.

I do hope that you find peace of mind. It is always sad and pitiful to see a person like you.

Danielle,
I think you and I have alot in common. Its called completely misunderstood. When I was a single mom a few years ago, it was like, troubles always just found me all at once. No situations were ever easy, or without some kind of drama sorrounding me. I realize in hindsight,that I would burn bridges with "friends" because I was "sharing" too much, and asking too much advice about my love life. I am very young at heart, I guess you could say a baby soul. I used think that everyone I talked to was that way as well. I had such trust for even the snakiest of people, I told my business freely bc I thought everyone shared like that. But there are people out there, that are just waiting with baited breath for an open person like you or I to express our feelings or insecurities so that they can expose, and judge them with everyone else that they can. You seem like such a good soul, and a free spirit, I would love to see you have a good, healthy trustworthy friend that has been there and wont judge you, and a man that is OLDER and sees the good lady that you are and whats to come. About the salsa dancing, you were fabulous and the looks that they say you were giving ..being so intense, DUH!! Thats what salsa is!!! Intensely sexy- and thats how people look at each other so they can vibe off of each other. They are so jealous..its sad. They could have had a nice friend in you. You are above it girl. That rocked so hard when you plopped that book down on the table!!! I think I heard a pin drop!!ha haa they never saw that coming. Thats how I would have done it too! I have friends now better than I ever did, and they LOVE to hear my crazy stories of my past, and never look around like they are embarrassed, they share thiers with me too, and we ask EACH OTHER for advice and we keep on growing. Just dont try to demand respect from people that dont have any love for anyone outside the box, they will never "get" you!! I am wishing you the best in your life journey, love and friendship oxo.

Danielle,
I think it is very easy for women to judge other women in the "real world", let alone when everything you do is in the public eye. I think that you have handled yourself with such class and dignity and the others, well, what can I say, they have had a few classes in "poor taste". I think that they are threatened by you. I too, am invloved with a circle of women that at one point I thought were my "friends". As I found out most women, look to destroy you, especially when their husbands turn a second glance to you. My heart goes out to you, and if you would like you can always reach me at ITS_ME1024@yahoo.com, if you would like to unload. I think that we have alot in common. Take care hun! Missy

Danielle, I was on your side until you laid the book down on the table. I thought it was totally inappropriate since Teresa really didn't do anything to you and she was the hostess and she did invite you.
There is a time and place to confront them but not in that enviorment especially with all the kids there including yours.

Good luck

Danielle I am happy you brought "The Book" to the dinner. I cannot understand Dina or Caroline on this subject. Everyone has a past. You and Jacqueline are my favorite. You have wonderful girls and You have done a great job with them. Stop letting this get to you. Those two or three, D,C&T, have nothing better to do than down you for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. You're a model, can you imagine one of them being a model?? LOL!!!

We all need a more spiritual world. This world is getting out of hand with the craziness that people impose. It's not life that makes it hard, it's people unleashing unneccessary roughness and hardship. Leave it alone.
Learn to live and learn to forgive people's past. Stop the craziness!

Hello Danielle!
I want to tell you that I admire you as a person as well as your two beautiful daughters. You are a good and strong woman, who is blessed to have daughters who really love you. You have it all. I wish you all the best and may God bless you and you daughters in all of your endowers. Keep up the good spirit and you will enjoy a life of happiness. Say hi to your girls.
Love Suzana

you had the right to confront the people who jude you... totally agree...i know what it means when you are the only one in a room and theres no one to defend you.. i support you with that.... BUT WHAT I DONT AGREE IS THAT.. THERE IS A TIME AND PLACE TO DO IT.. THAT WAS THERESA TIME TO SHINE WITH HER NEW HOME AND HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY.. YOU DIDNT HAVE TO DO IT THERE.. YOU TOOK THERESA SPOT LIGHT AND SHINED IT ON YOU.. THATS WASNT RIGHT.. LIKE I TELL MY HUSBAND'' HONEY IS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU'' LEARN FROM THAT AND YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE FRIENDS.. GOOD LUCK !!

Danielle, you are by far by favorite housewife. I love the way you handled wanna be mother Soprano Caroline. Caroline and Dina just feel threatened by you. Are their lives that boring that they have to worry about someone else's. You are beautiful and I wish you much success in all of your endeavors!!!

Wow! What a Show you really held yourself together at the dinner blowout.Good for you as much as people want to smear your name know that it is their personal insecuirities of how much stronger you are than them. Continue to be you no matter how alone you may end up for the time being cause it will only be just that a period in time cause for every dark winter follows a bright spring.

Danielle you are one of my two favorite housewives on this show! I just want to tell you to keep your head up and "keep on keepin' on" Women...well in this case girls are mean and childish. Their haters and therefore your past shouldn't be a big topic in their life.

"Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind" ~Dr. Seuss

Good for you, for defending yourself. I thought you were great.

I think you got a really bad rap. I love your spirit and honesty and you have the most class out of all of the wives. thank Goodness you have some sense!

Well Danielle, I have been watching your show with my mom. She got me into it one day & been watching since. Well I think that your absolutely gorgeous. And if your looking mr. right. He might be right in your blog. Lol! I might not have the riches, but I do have alot to offer. What I see in your shows is that your trying to live your life alone. The other women have their hubby supporting them.

You seem so thoughtful and introspective (in your own way!) I cant imagine why you would want to be around these other women who offer nothing to anyone. The are such stereotypes!

And why on earth you EVER dated that looser Steve is mystery from day one. Not to be shallow...but he is grotesque looking and can barely form a sentence. You should have dumped him LONG ago. He is nowhere near your league.

Danielle - Honey your getting to the aige where its all about being REAL. Your too needy. The 22 year old was never your "boyfriend". Its sad when you see women in such great physical condition falling short in the common sense.

You have had enough life experiences to be so desparate to join a group of women who are just not interested in your company. Get over Dina (who is beautiful and cool), and trying to get in with the IN FAMILY. Let it go. Spend time with yourself and your girls. Stop wasting time with men who just aren't into you.

Sincerley,
Faithful RHW viewer

You are one strong woman!

As they say, your children reflect off of you and you have some beautiful, intelligent and respectful children. I'm sorry but Dina's daughter is rude, spoiled and a snothead, hmm sound familar! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

I don't understand why the other women are so catty towards you and all you are trying to do is be nice and be basically a "girlfriend", yet they are closeminded bitches who live in their pathetic NJ bubble.

You were misguided with slimeball steve, its not your fault, i think every women encounters a douchebag at some point in their life. Just because you don't live off your husband like a tapeworm doesn't make you a bad person. You live in an area obsessed with money and elitism. If the other women were just upfront with you and told you "like it is" then you wouldn't be dealing with all that drama and catty-ness.

Keep being real girl, only the truest find fulfillment in life.

Danielle,
I think you are a very strong person. It must be very hard to be constantly picked on by those women. I was so proud of you for standing up to Teresa's husband when he was making those inappropriate comments at the dance studio. It shows how ignorant people can be and that money CAN'T buy someone class.

I watched the preview for tonights show and i cannot wait for you to confront them because i think they all have big mouths, and thats about all they have . I bet if you spoke with any of them without their posse with behind them it would be a different story!! good luck in the lions den!!!! I am rooting for you!

Danielle, i think that all this other women on this show are so childish and evil. You seem to be a good person who was at the wrong place at the wrong time.No one should be punishing you for your past mistakes.YOu seem like a wonderful mother.I disagree on what they have done and said about you, even if the stuff is true, who are they to judge. By the way, you look fantastic for your age and they are all jelous of you.Good luck.

Best of luck to u and your beautiful girls

It's so funny how those women say that they hate the drama involving you yet you are the topic of their conversations. So pathetic.. There would be no show without you Danielle!!

By the way, you were fantastic on the Today Show!

You were outstanding on the today show this morning! Great Job!!! You are one of my favorites on the show. You definitely have a bright future ahead of you after this show. You are a great mom to your lovely daughters. Also, My two little girls want a tiny puppy like yours on the show? Can you send us one? lol!! Stay strong Danielle.. Love, your fans from Texas.

Danielle:
Saw you today as the co-host with Hoda.....You were GREAT !!

I have to confess I wasn't your biggest fan, but now, I'm warming up to you.

I hope things have died down for you as far as "the book" drama goes and that you and everyone else is able to put it behind them.

I didn't get the name of the beauty products you talked about on the show, so if you could do a quick blog about them, it would be great.

Tonight is the blow-out finale, and I am looking forward to it, even though it actually happened many months ago.

Hey girl, I think your so awesome. I could really care less what others say about you or how the other housewives done you. They judged you too much instead of just really getting to know you and your life. SOme people just like to pick out all the bad and not the good. You have lots of good. You know you do. And your a beautifl women so just be you and never change. Don't worry about what others say. You know who you are and what your about and you seem to be proud of that and so just keep doing and being what you are. I understand that everyone has gone or is going through some really bad shit I have been there myself many times. Its not your past that makes you who you are it is now and what you do now. I have a past girl believe me and I have been so judged and talked about but i just keep my head high and go on about my life and teach my kids right and wrong and try to keep my kid from making my same mistakes and I know that is what you are doing. It is always nice to have a close honest relationship with your kids. So you know what I like you and I like who you are and I just think some are just really jealous of you. Hey they should be your 45 and you look great. I hope that when I am 45 I look as great as you. I will only be 31 this month. Hang in there. I took the Which Housewife are you of NJ and guess what? It says i am you I am happy with that. Hope all is well with you. Have a blessed and happy week.

Danielle,
I find you to be a strong person. I finded very High School the way the women on this show are acting toword you. First I don't like it. Second, It very unlady like. You have been through alot in your life. That know women should go through. I admire you for that. You have risen fri=om that life style and want to move on to make it better for you and your girls.
When the camera's are off do these women act like this. Not to CLASSY for being the HOUSEWIVES OF NJ.
I think you are great. Stay strong and positive. You only deserve the best in life and men. Don't let any man use you. GET that RING first. God Bless you and your girls.
