I couldn't read all of this blog. It was so long-winded. I hope you can get to a place where you can put all of this behind you. I feel like the drama is stoked by your strong negative feelings about Caroline and Dina. I'm not saying the feelings are or aren't justified - but by allowing them to fester inside you you are only hurting yourself. You should read the book Dina gave you "The Power of Now". I say this seriously. It's helped me in my life. I truly wish you happiness and peace.

keep a stiff upper lip. i know you want friends and want to be accepted but don't try so hard it makes you look desperate and gives those others entirely to much power over you. after seeing the reunion shows over and over again i began to see you in a different light. everybody wants to be loved.

hello,my name is aaron i just wanted to say that your cast mates so called friends had no right to do what they did to you like they say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I DON'T SEE A POST WHERE SHE SAYS SHE DIDN'T MEAN TO TALK ABOUT LINOLEUM FLOORING. I SEE NO REASON FOR BASHING AN INANIMATE OBJECT LIKE A FLOOR. IT MAKES US ALL LOOK LIKE JERSEY GIRLS WITH CHEAP HAIR EXTENSIONS AND EVEN CHEAPER FLOORING. I WAS VERY OFFENDED BY THAT COMMENT. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD LINOLEUM BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD TILE OR WOOD IN MY KITCHEN. I FIND MYSELF APOLOGIZING THESE DAYS FOR MY LINOLEUM FLOOR, AND OFFERING UP THAT I ONLY HAVE IT UNTIL I GET MY REAL FLOOR.

Danielle,
Where there is smoke there is fire... Everyone lives in their won reality but how exactly did you meet your ex???

=) Happy Tears!!! This is a AMAZING Blog Danielle!! Love you!!!

Danielle:

Your past is your past. I feel for you that the bad choices you made in your youth have been exposed for all the world to see. We ALL do stupid things when we're young, and some of us do REALLY STUPID things that we pray will never surface. You're too smart NOT to have known that this stuff would come out when you signed up for the show though, right? In any case, I hope you make more authentic choices from here on out and take care to not repeat the past.

In addition, I just want to say that every show has to have a villain--an Alexis Carrington--to make it worth watching. The show would be totally boring without you, so take it to the bank and make a nice life for you and your daughters.

Best,

Viewer

Hi Danielle, As I'm sitting and doing my homework my daughter sits down and turns the tv on your show (reruns) I AM IN LOVE!!!
You and I are so much alike it's unreal, and I'd love to be your friend in real life and hang out. Those other women on the show are B****'s so you don't need them in your life anyway! it's only because of your past that makes you the great woman that you are today and I toast to you!

Danielle, you are truly a good person who got caught up with the wrong crowed many many years ago,what happen in your pass is none of thier bussiness.but i saw for myself how dina was jealous of your realtionship with jacklyn,that family clams to be a loving family, they are not very nice people at all and wouldn't want any of them in my family.i also come from a very big Italian family the only difference from us is we are also a very caring family we forgive and forget because life is way to short,
Tearesa and Jacklyn were never your friend they are phony's.
how they followed you the night on your date when that guy didn't show up,they cheered to (here's to friends to don't leave a friend hanging) what was that about? all lie's from so called friend's you don't need them thier all losers and you are the winnner, that's how i see it. you had ever right the bring that book to the table,they couldn't handle the truth that's why dina had to go running to big sister for some help. they are all stuck up bitch's who will never know what true friendship is all about.
good luck to Danielle in all you do and remember your the winner here.

Daniel, I would have brought the book out at the dinner table as well!!! You had them all in one room at one time and seemed the only way to get it out and bury it. Ok, now it's done. So go on with your life, enjoy your successes and children. I'm not a fan of any one of you, however I do defend your decision.

Danielle,
You are a classy classy woman and the only one among this miserable bunch of women that shows integrity and honesty (well maybe Jacqueline does a small amount). They are all loudmouthed, vulgar, uneducated bullies, that like to throw their weight around pretending they are something other than stupid. Hang in there, you deserve better than the treatment you have received from these false friends.

Danielle, at first I didn't like you very much. But, watching how the others treated you and rejected you for a lifestyle you got yourself into 20 some years ago, I have learned to respect you. caroline acts like a Mafia Mama -- controling everything and everyrone. I know lots of mass. italian contractors and believe me , NONE of them live in houses like Teresa's. Got to be Mafia money there. If her husband was upset at how much she spends, he should not give her access to so much. Judge ye not, lest ye be judged also. Jacquline was the only compassionate one in the bunch, but she will side with family in the end. Move on and find some other friends.

Why so much rage with Danielle? Why did you get so furious with the ladies reading the book. You emphasized your anger toward the wrong people. What about your ex-husband? You handled this very WRONG! You say that the book is full of lies. Did you sue your ex-husband? What did you do to keep the book from ever being published? Why blame the ladies for questioning your integrity? You shoul've been the bigger person and confided with Jacqueline who you claim was your best friend instead of sitting there pretending you were crying and no teasr rolled down your face. I noticed you did this a lot. You convinced me you are so desperate for attention. Someone who has been engaged for 19 times and been married a couple times shows they're unsecured about themselves. You need to seek help from a therapist. Insulting someone about having lonolium was not nice. You are being supported and cannot afford to live in the house you're in. Before you start critizing other people, take a good look at yourself. If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all.

All of the women on this show have some issues. If they didn't, it wouldn't be worth watching and Bravo wouldn't be wasting their time with it :)
That said, I really feel that Danielle may have borderline personality disorder. It's not going to be possible for Danielle to have a healthy and functional relationship until she is ready to see her part in creating what happens in her life and relationships. She does provoke and attract drama. She does project herself as a perpetual victim.
Her dating choices completely contradict what she claims to want.
The bottom line is, Danielle, you aren't going to attract a healthy, stable and honest person until you have cultivated those qualities in yourself. I know it's hard to see outside of the victim box when you are depressed, but with some therapy and maybe some medication you can begin to see yourself more clearly and become yourself what you seek in others.

I love Daniell. She is the real house wife of New Jersy.

I understood your reactions through the entire series after I watched the reunion. I heard how you have been going through so much in your childhood and now adulthood. I understand totally why you were on the offensive side. I would have been also if the shoe was on the other foot. The families that you were trying to be apart of were not really worth it except Jacqueline. Dina was okay as well she just tries to make her big sister happy be your own person Dina. Caroline is miserable with her boring life she doesn't know what to do with herself. So she decides to but in your life. So what you have a book,so what you have a younger boyfriend. so so what you are who you are and your not ashame of that. We all need to be more like you. Stop hiding behind our family and just be you. Either you like it or you dont so what get over it. Danielle I love you I respect you, you keep your head up and keep your eyes on the prize. And remember the lord will bring people in your life for a reason and for a season. That season is over lets start with a new one. God Bless!

Danielle,
I am sorry to have heard about your past, no one should have to endure the pain you have. However, you try to be a classy lady but fail each time. You say you want to be accepted by this family, but you bring a very controversial book to a private fun dinner & are shocked when you get the response you got!!!! Are you kidding !!!!

I think it would be best if you part ways from the rest of the housewives. There is too much bad blood. I don't know how you threatened Deana, but being Italian myself, it will not be forgotten. Blood is and always will be thicker than water. Get out now with some of your humility in tact.

You are UNREAL!! How dare you show up at the family dinner and throw that book on the table and then act hurt and betrayed as they fought back!!! You have serious issues and I question your stability to raise your children to NOT be like you! You are very Imature and you want family stability so bad that you are willing to try to break into a family you are not part of!! Grow up, Find your OWN Family and move the F on!!!!
Why are you even on the show!?!?!?!?!?

I CANNOT STOMACH DANIELLE she seems like a liar and mean. Dina was write to say that if the shoe was on the other foot Danielle would have done alot worse. Danielle wishes their were something wrong with Dina but Unfortunatly for Daniell Dina has alot more common sense and that scares Daniell!!! It is not the past that makes you who you are everyone makes mistakes some more than others but how you move on from them!

your comment about linolium floors is so stuck up. Who are you to put down people who have linolium flooring? I grew up with it,... I have it (modern style) in my bathroom,... hey stuckup,.. not everyone can afford marble flooring. At least real women are not trying to find someone to pay their bills for them!

Whoever supports this woman has to be as self-centered, and out of touch with reality just like Danielle is.

My husband and I are hooked on the show....but only because of you. We are definitely fans!!! I love your motto "When I am attacked...I will attack back!!! Girl you are bad!! In a good way "bad"!! I don't know if you will get this or my other post...and if you don't I hope you at least read each post because from what I see EVERYONE ADORES YOU...your blogs are honest and sincere...I was reading some of Dena's Hate Mail (comments)...most of us think that she is conniving, classless, and very, very, jealous of you. I refuse to even go in to comment on her blog!! She is NOTHING!! Although you didn't have a husband on the show NEITHER did she!!! I do not believe she is still with her husband..and if she is poor Tommy!! Good Luck and I look forward to seeing you for Season!! Bravo producers...if you lose Danielle you will lose your ratings!!! Pulllleezzzee believe me!!!

Dear Danielle-

You stood up for yourself and in doing so, you did the right thing. Who cares about the damn book? Most of what's contained inside of it is 20 years old. We've all done things we regret. Though I respect Dina and Caroline, I do feel they ganged up on you and, having been victims of nasty rumors themselves with respect to the alleged mob-associations connections, they should have known better than to engage in the same type of smear campaign against you that they endured at the hands of the media and idle gossipers. Thanks also for standing up for your friend and the gay community. Joe's comment was offensive, though I don't believe him to be homophobic. Hold your head up high, Danielle, and don't allow anyone to bully you or make you feel bad about yourself. We've all screwed up; nobody's perfect.
xoxo

Danielle,

I have to start by saying that you being honest with your children and telling them the truth about things is a best thing. I believe in being real with your children. People should be honest with their children and not treat them like they are stupid and don't see how the world really is. I have a daughter and I believe that it is better for her to hear it from me than some asshole out in the street who doesn't know shit about me. And I like that way you handled to situation with the book, what better time to bring it out I don't care what anyone says that was BOLD! I Loved It! Hahaha the look on everyones face. Stay sweet Danielle and just live your life for you and your girls don't live it for any man because men come and go. I'm a single mom I know. And don't live it for people either. I hope you learned a valuable lesson hun, because with friends like that its better to have enemies. Atleast you know where you stand with them. And try to love yourself some more too.

Can't wait to seem NJ Reunion part 2 tonight! Hopefully Danielle will get a chance to speak her mind, that is, if Caroline will shut up and stop covering up for her clan!
Kudos to Jacqueline (and Chris) for doing what was right and standing up for Danielle. One piece for Danielle though... never regard your kids as you friends or girlfriends... they're your CHILDREN... be a Mom and don't take them into your every confidence as though they were adults!
And Theresa... you're really cute, but, as Danielle said,
"try to keep up. pul-eeze" !!
Love the show!

You are flawless! we love you!

Danielle, Sweetie, you just have to leave the passive-aggressive types(Caroline) to heaven and get on with your life! They'll discount everyone else's feelings and thoughts, never apologize, and gen. make you miserable, to bolster their fragile egos.

You fit the diagnoses of: 1.antisocial personality disorder, 2.borderline personality disorder. Their are reasons for all disorders, generally a very disturbed, chaotic childhood. You need to learn how to have genuine loving relationships based on honor, truth, and courage to face your problems.
Sad thing is, most folks with these types of personality are unable to live their life honestly without lying and manipulating. I would not want to have to live that kind of life. Hope you can find help, and your children can be okay to live beyond your limitations.

Danielle, you looked worn out last night- Please get rid of the Italian "Mean Girls". If we all had books written about some of the things that we did 25 years ago, there would be no trees left on this earth. That gang reminds me of the judges at The Salem Witch Trials. I wonder what will happen if someone comes up with a story about Tiny? They sure shouldn't throw stones at anyone. Dina is very insincere and insecure and Caroline protects her way too much. Perhaps there are problems there that no one wants to talk about! Your girls are adorable and seem very grounded. Clean up your act, stay away from those Eye-talians girls (Theresa is a big joke, by the way) and move one. Find a man who loves you and believe me, you don't need a homely 26 year old Goomba in training. You should look for a nice man and forget about the extravagent lifestyle. Jacqueline, in the end will side with the family, so a few new friends will help you in the end.

Danielle...your the Bomb!! Anyone who saw the show...saw who the liers were and they admitted that, on national television and said just so you love your family...you can lie all you want just to protect them! BS!!

Caroline is a ICE QUEEN Bully ...and I don't have any respect for her or her homely sister Dina...she contradicts everything!!!She should re-watch the shows...and just see how classless she was...and that Teresa, she not even worth wasting my breath on!

Your Beautiful, Classy and there is no show without you...I hope you get your own show...the other ones I wish would just go away...i only watched it because you were on...Have a Good one Sweetie!!

Danielle, I too know what it means to not be "part of the crowd." Hold your head up and walk proudly. Who among us can cast the first stone? Caroline, Dina, and Theresa will have to answer to a higher power. Pray that God has mercy on them. You are a fantastic mother. Best of luck to you.

Texas Supporter

Danielle,
You should watch the reunion episode. You know those little old ladies who have never smiled a day in their lives, and their lips are turned down at the sides? That is going to be you. Look at your face the entire time. You need to take a good look at your life. You have two beautiful daughters who, after seeing how you acted outside the supper episode with a cigarette hangin out of your mouth and the smoke blowing right at your girls, are learning the wrong way to handle conflicts. Good luck to you in your quest to find a rich man to take care of you.

Danielle,
I seen the Reunion and sweetie,Out of all the housewives I have the most respect for you. No one else, not even Jackeline seems to care anymore for you like she sais she did. I'm sorry but they had no right when it came to "that" book to put it out there and they had no balls confronting you but yet they liked talking behind your back. They just had no right doing so. Jackeline seems as if her sister-in-laws manage her life which is sooooo sad to see. C'mom- she should speak up for herself. You raise your daughters good and I know for a fact that the only perso who can judge you is God. They should of confronted you and asked about "the Book" before talking shit. Dina on the other hand also needs her BIG SIS to help her. From watching the show Jackeline really seemed to a friend, everyone else were not. Liek they say, what goes around comes back around baby. You stay focused on your girls.

Dear Danielle,

I began to watch this show as a curiosity and have learned that just because people talk over you doesn't make them right. They seem to survive en masse rather than communicating in a dyadic. They lose credibility to me thinking that if they run their mouths and give you no room to speak that they have won. The large redheaded woman especially seems to 'protesteth too much'. The table tipping (cow tipping in rural areas) embarrassment made me concerned for the big haired woman's children and for their safety. This is not a mentally healthy person. i have not read 'the book' but I can tell you this. If someone wrote a book about me from 24 years ago I would probably not like everything that was either falsely reported or, if they did get some facts right I would not like that either. The lying redhead and her sister (proved to be a liar by the woman who suffered from miscarriages) at the dinner table makes then pathetic. Perhaps on Thursday you can change the pitch and volume of your voice to sound more nasal,screechy, uneducated and narcissistic and then you may get a word in edgewise. Stay strong and stay away from those others unless this can be a stepping stone to something good. Peace to you and yours.

Danielle,

I have to say this because I feel as though you are letting yourself off the hook. For someone who claims to love Jacqueline as much as you do, not only have you continuously thrown her under the bus, you have constantly put her in awkward positions. I believe it was you who said that if she was going to be her friend she'd have to deal with all the issues that you had with her family after she had told you that she could not handle those comments. I don't know what is or is not left with editing, but you my dear are not shown in the positive light you see yourself in and I think you are a bit delusional. I hope the best for you and do not judge one's past, but the actions of the present.

Thank you

Danielle, If you leave I am done with the NJ housewives. I have never blogged before but I have to tell you. In the beginning I wasn't thrilled with you. After watching each episode, I have more respect for you then anyone on any of the housewives shows.
You have two beautiful daughters, intelligent, kind and loyal to their mother. Great job! Caroline's daughter from what I remember graduated from High School two yrs ago and has done nothing. But then again, a high school graduate who doesn't understand the words "democracy and dictatorship" really doesn't have much to offer. Her oldest son is in Law school, fine. The youngest has a dream of owning a topless/car wash. Fine aspiration!
Dina, has a daughter so lost in unreality that she thinks the woman her mother hired should wear a uniform and call her maam.
Then we have Theresa, she wanted her daughters removed from the table when your book came out (no matter that your daughters had to hear about it from the gossip these mean women spread all over town) but thought nothing of discussing the fact that their father wanted to satisfy his sexual desire in the car on the way home from her "boobie" surgery at that same table with them sitting there. And never forget there was her casual double entendre about "swallowing" that Dina and Caroline found soooo hysterical all said in front of her precious daughters.
As for Jacqueline, I was so for her at the dinner,she was brave and honest and true. The first part of the reunion had me confused. I do remember you asking her about 'clearing the air" then when you mentioned it at the reunion and Caroline asked her, she then indicated no and the Grande Duchess of Nothing, stated "I prefer to believe Jacqueline" or something like that as if that was all that mattered. Please spare me!

Love Love Love you! Do not let people bring you down, because they don't like you. I felt your pain yesterday and I wanted to cry. It is truly difficult for me to watch these women cannot feel your pain. My heart almost fell down the floor and I said to myself these women don't care. Danielle I care and know that you have many supporter out ther and I am one of them. I would like to meet you in person and be your friend. Inspite of your past, you appeared to be a good person. I hope the best for you and your family. Don't let these women bring you down as I stated and stay true to yourself. Love yourself.

Caroline is nothing but a control freak...She wants to control who Jacqueline is friends with and should really mind her business. From watching the reunion show, her and Jacqueline had trouble before. She needs to mind her business and let others do what they want.

Danielle, i watched the reunion, and you looked totally bored when anyone else was speaking and it wasn't all about you. It seems to me you love the drama and must be center of attention at all times. Your maim goal is to hook a guy with money to take care of you and your kids. Sorry you gave the other women reason to dislike you, get over yourself and act your age, your not 20 anymore hun and contrary to what you believe you dont look it either. You are raising two daughters and you need to teach them to take care of themselves and not depend on a man to do it. Teach them to respect themselves so others will also. You are not their friend, you are their mother you have a responsibility to them, they aren't your girlfriends they are your daughters.

Danielle,

I am surprised there are not more negative comments regarding your behavior on this blog. You are a horrible role model for your two girls in that respect. They will not learn to be strong women from a mother who is still acts like an adolesent.

Instead of teaching them how to "get" and take care of a man, why not teach them how to take care of themselves first.
As for the other girls on the show.....I don't think they want to spend any energy on "hurting you" .....I think they just want you to go away.

You just seem very self absorbed to me. I thought maybe it was the way the series was edited... until I listened to your comments,and also watched your facial expessions and body language at the reunion when others were speaking.

Hey Danielle, I think your great and I love how you take care of yourself !! however since you do fillers, the best one that will actually help you produce collagen for 2 years is called ( SCULPTRA ) ask your doctor about it. it will produce collagen because its what you need to look years younger and it works and its better than botox !!!

I have to admit I have never blogged, but I just saw the last two episodes of this show and had to say to you Danielle, that I think you are one of the realest women from the show. It was clear on the reunion that they only attacked you, and OMG Caroline was getting on my nerves so bad; I was screaming at the table. She thinks she's the Godfather or something. She needs to stop being mother hubbard and let everyone take care of their on battles!!!!

Hey Danielle! I just wanted to say you are the REALEST woman on the show. Jaqueline and you have a good friendship and dont let those other women break it up. Keep your head up!! You handle yourself much better than any of the other fake women and we can all see who really likes the drama. You owe them nothing and can do so much better than the drama they bring. Wish you the best!

Danielle, don't fool yourself. You have more class than all of the others put together. Drama queen, yes - tone it down. You do not have to apologize for your past. Caroline is a smug, self-satisfied, fake witch, Dinah is a mean joke, Theresa is a ditz, and Jaclyn needs a backbone. Why you would want to fit in with that group is puzzling. You lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas. Caroline should be taken outside and whipped - she leads those girls (easy to do) to bad places. What an idiot. She gives women a bad name. Hold your head high, Danielle.

Danielle,

I'm a HUGE supporter of you! You are a TRUE survivor! While Caroline wants to portray herself as the tough cookie, you show who the real tough cookie is. You enter the lion's den every time you're around the other housewives (Dina, Caroline and Teresa) and come out unscathed because you are classy, educated, and sharp! Watching this show reminds of mean girls in high school ganging up on the girl they secretly admire because she is not afraid of being herself. Danielle, leave them in the classroom where they belong and continue raising your girls and being fabulous! I THINK YOU ARE WONDERFUL!!!!!!!

Danielle your awesome you know what you want and you stay determined to get it. Unfortunately you were trying to be friendly with a family that immediately disrespected you and then have the nerve to act like they're victims. Your better than all of them cause your real. The best thing for you to do is drop the family Jacqueline included because no matter what she will always be influenced by her family. You will always be the most genuine person so keep on rockin' Danielle

you know last night at the reunion after i saw how emotional and pist off the red head got after the media,tv, and people have written and said nasty things about her being in the mafia and connecting tragic events from her past in(the killing of her father in-law)to ignite the rumors even more i could only think of your situation and what they did to you! yes theirs is a bit more grave since a human life was taken. true, but i wonder if you had a family memeber good friends with dina or the red head lady and you found all this out in the manor they did with you and your book and you showed your family(100% understandable) but then you went all over your neighborhood to places they shop etc. and spread these images, videos, and articles like wild fire. then let it trickles down to their children and other family being affected by it. would they be as mad as you? would they be so quick to say it doesn't matter, and so on would they not be super mad at you? so in a way their in the same boat as you with the mafia rumors which i hear constntly the only difference for them is its not just their community its the whole USA! slandering them and they cant put faces to their drama but you could DINA & HER SISTER! So all i have to say is continue to do what you do because im a strong believer in do onto others as you would have them do onto you.

Danielle...Are you serious? i watched the Reunion Special last night and you sat there with the most pathetic look on your face the entire evening. I know you were trying to come off as the victim, but honestly, you looked desperate for attention. Do you have any idea how lucky you are, somehow you have managed a life style of no work and all play and you have the nerve to sit there like some poor little creature. I actually think you were disappointed that the other women didnt attack you and actually took the high road. It was so obvious that you are an extremelly jealous woman and the only time you showed any emotion is when the attention was on you....Get over yourself

YOU NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP. PLEASE FIND A SHRINK IN YOUR AREA!!! You need a way to love yourself. You can't be with anyone as a friend or lover until then. You cause way tooo much DRAMA in your personal life as well as others. I think your one of the unhappiest people I've ever seen. Who cares what the other ladies think. You are blessed with beautiful daughters. Get right for them as well as yourself. Obviously your not really Jackies friend if your telling everyone she knew you were bringing the book to the dinner. Let's not forget she defended you at the dinner. Even if your telling the truth. My goodness. You know what kind of conflict that would cause her. LOVE YOURSELF enough to live w/o all of this foolishness. YOU'VE BEEN AROUND TOO LONG TO BE AT THIS STAGE OF YOUR LIFE. Your told old for this.

Ok Honey! For the only REAL one on the show other that Jac. YOU GO GIRL. They did you wrong! Stick to your guns and dont let those tacky NJ beyotches get ya down. 2 Faced Frontin wenches. Thats from me to you. Are you kiddin me? I loved it when you dropped the book on the table. And give me a break with Caroline. Quit fighting your sisters battles. Maybe she can grow a backbone and fight for herself. I also loves when J called out Dena! I thought she was going to crawl up inside her own butt!! HA! Some of the statements that Theresa has made also confirms she is a dumbass.
Hold your head high, we love ya! Forget the other trainwrecks on the show.

Why do you/did you have respect for Caroline? She seems no better or worse than the rest of them. . . I'm wondering why when she said she tossed the book around that you didn't focus your reaction on her - everyone seems afraid of her and it bugs me. What gives?

Re: organized crime strings of their family. HILARIOUS to me that Caroline's confession about the mysterious death of her father-in-law only made that sound 12 billion times more like a mafia family. At least Dina seemed to "get" that that is how it sounded.

Your daughters are beautiful. I felt bad for them seeing their mom attacked. That is hard to watch. Keep them safe.

Danielle...I am a supporter of yours!
Just saw part 1 of the reunion show and oh boy are Caroline and Dina hypocrits.....
here they are with skeletons in their closet and they had the audacity to drudge up yours!
Oh..and THEY don't want any of that brought up....
Poor Them...at least now we know what Caroline means when she uses the term "Family" so much!
I also want to commend you on how mature your children are...of all of the Housewives shows...you have the most well behaved,mature children I have seen.That shows you are a good mother and shouldn't have all this crap thrown your way....
You have many friends(male and female) out here in cyberspace...keep your chin up!

Danielle, you did exactly what I would have done, that was awesome to wait and get them all at once, that was the perfect time for YOU not THEM, like everyone else you have YOUR best interest at heart, kudos.

Also, you have very beautiful girls, your teen daughter has the looks of a super-model and she is very wise thanks to you. She would be able to defend herself when the business get ugly; if you're not around. Maybe you should focus more on a career in modeling for her rather than trying to befriend people that will never like you. Stay strong, pray and ask God to release your settlement from your ex-husband. Good Luck

Danielle I give Kudos to you for standing up for your rights and for bringing the book to the dinner. Caroline and Dina were wrong. If after finding the book and reading it they had concerns they should have come to you, not spread rumors. In any court of law the accused has a right to face their accusers and engage them in battle sort of. You are fighting for respect and they are trying to make you look bad in front of everyone and your children. Don't allow them to do that. Caroline and Dina are jealous of your relationship with Jacqueline. They wanted you out of her life and theirs, but that was not their call to make. Jacqueline is a grown woman with a mind of her own and she can make her own decisions on who she wants in her life and who she does not. Keep fighting the good fight.

The jury is still out on you as far as I'm concerned. There's just something about you that doesn't make me want to be your best friend and it has nothing to do with the book. However, I found it very interesting at the REUNION when Dina & Caroline got so emotional when their past came out with regard to the Mafia innuendos. I mean, Dina was in tears and Caroline was so vehemently adamant about defending her father-in-law's good name. But when you tried to defend yourself in regard to the content of "the book" which brought you to tears; there was absolutely no empathy or sympathy from those girls. What a bunch of hypocrites! Although it wasn't the most appropriate time to bring up the book, I applaud you for having the guts to face all your "demons" in one room. LOL! And... I'm sorry, but Teresa - although somewhat endearing - is as DITZY as they come! So, your "pay attention" comment wasn't really that far off. You girls need to throw her down and dye her hair blonde - it would go well with her new bubbies!!! LOL! By the way, I'm a working wife from Texas... DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS BABY!

Danielle,

You handled yourself as a true lady last night. You did a wonderful job in not laughing at the dummy sitting beside you.

In speaking for myself, I am certainly in no position to judge anyone, nor do I expect to be judged.

Bottom line: You did something very right. You have two beautiful, well adjusted daughters. That is more than I can say for the other four brats seen on the show, excluding Lexy.

Stay well. The best of luck to you and your daughters.

I think you bringing that book to the dinner was uncalled for. Very poor taste on your part. You were invited by someone who hadn't said anything about the book. You are a nasty person. You need to stop looking for drama and get a life. Why is it you have no friends? Move on these women clearly do not like you. Why all the hate towards Dina? Jealous? Also you said two things in the book were correct 1. you got arrested and 2. you changed your name. What about the 19 engagements? You said that on one of the shows that you were engaged 19 times and kept the last ring. Come on who lies now?

Danielle

I think you are a wonderful person and a wonderful mother. I hate how all the other housewives tried to team up on you and make u look bad. I believe that dina is jealous of you thats why she does the things shes does. I think that teresa is a bitch and very immature how shes gonna talk about her husband fucking in front of her kids but not want to talk about the book. I think caroline is not as tough as she seems she want to intimidate people and make people feel afraid of her but its all a front. And if Dina didn't have her to defend her she wouldnt say the things about you that's she has. And Teresa and her husband don't like gay people cause if they did they wouldn't have said the those innapropriate things that they said. Good luck with everything Im your biggest fan.

I THINK YOU ARE ALL CRAZY, DANIELLE IS BEAUTIFUL? GET REAL THIS IS THE FACE OF EVIL BESIDES LOOKING LIKE YOUR ON HEROINE OR SOMETHING. PLEASE JUST GO AWAY YOU ARE SO STUPID TO GO ON A REALITY SHOW WITH ALL YOUR GARBAGE.

Aren't you the same lovely, classy gal who talks about great phone sex(!!! really?) with a stranger in an earlier episode? Bethany Frankel has you pegged.

Danielle,

You are a gorgeous strong woman. You are also misunderstood. I feel for you in that department. Its hard going on day to day when your so called friends are devious. Im 30 living in western, ny. If your ever in the area, i'll take you out and treat you like the beautiful woman that you are! Hang in that fight.
Mark

Danielle, my advise to you is, NOT to worry about it. With your style and smartness, you can achieve anything...find other REAL friends to hang around with. It is so obvious that these women are a waste of breath. Move on and find people that are not hypocrits. Good Luck!

Forget about those women and what they have to say. Don't ever let anyone's negativity come between your happiness. The only opinion that should matter is your daughters.
Only God can judge us.

Danielle,
I know this is caddy but I can't let it pass. I have lived
on the coast and eaten oysters my entire life.I have eaten them fried,in dressing,and on the halfshell.I must say I have never seen someone pick up an oyster from the halfshell with their fingers and put it in their mouth.

dont believe anything you say

you have the right to stand up for yourself, nno matter what the situation is. your past is the past, who cares what you have done. you have probibly learned from it. you are a great person, keep going.

I don't know you, and in turn I can't exactly judge you.

Some advice? The only thinig I've learned about life is that not everbody is going to like you, you may never fit in, but why live a life built to please others, it's not their life, it's yours.

Honestly i don't think doing this show is good for your family. It's more drama. It might mean more money but it's not worth it. Humble yourself by living a life for you, but at the same time think of the big picture. Stop spending so much time looking for your soul mate. Spend time with your girls, get a realy job, and don't just expect a rich soul mate to come flying in and rescue you. Take care of your family. Cuz in the end they are the one's that will be there for you, and they are what makes you happy, I can tell by the look on your face whenever your with your girls.

I may not agree with your actions, but there is good and evil in everyone, and I think you just need a fresh start to accomplish everything you've dreamt of.

Good luck :)

DANIELLE YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON AND U ARE MY FAVORITE HOUSE WIFE AND I THINK YOU WERE RITE ABOUT EVERYTHING WITH THE BOOK AND DINA NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO FIGHT HER OWN BATTLES AND NOT DEPEND ON CAROLINE ALL THE TIME AND ALWAYS LOOKING FOR HER SISTER TO BASICALLY CLEAN UP AFTER HER AND TERESA SHOULD HAVE NOT FLIPPED THAT TABLE SHE SAYS SHE IS A CLASSY LADY BUT WAT SHE DID WAS NOT CLASSY WAT SO EVER AND THEY WAY U REACTED WAS BEING THE CLASSY LADY BECAUSE YOU JUST STOOD THERE AND WAS LIKE YOUR ACTING LIKE A CHILD BUT INSIDE TERESA IS A GOOD PERSON BUT SHE HAS DEFINATELY BEEN DINA-FIED AND JACQUELINE IS TRULY A GREAT FRIEND FOR STANDING UP FOR YOU AND IT DEFINATELY WAS A HARD PLACE FOR HER TO SAY ANYTHING BUT WHEN SHE DID IT WAS THE RITE THING AND HER HUSBAND TOO AND ON TONIGHTS REUNION (TUESDAY) WHEN DINA SAID THAT U WERE THE REASON FOR HER AND JACQUELINE'S FRIENDSHIP TO END I THOUGHT THAT WAS A TOTAL LIE BECAUSE THERE HAS TO BE MORE TO THE STORY AND THE EPISODE FOR THE LAST SUPPER WHEN THEY WERE SAYING THAT YOU WERE ATTACKING DINA THAT WAS CRAP THIS ISN JR. HIGH THIS IS LIFE SO DINA NEEDS TO STOP PLAYING THE INNOCENT CARD BUT DANIELLE YOU ARE FAB AND U HAVE A VERY STRONG PERSONALITY AND U DONT TAKE CRAP FROM NO ONE GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYTHING AND KEEP BEING YOU.

Danielle I think your a great mother. I can't say much about the dynamic between you and the other cast mates because I think there are some variables where I see both sides of the story, but I will say you did nothing wrong or inappropriate at the dinner table and keeping your kids informed is what parenting is about. For that I respect you. For wanting to have your time to speak your peace I respect you and it must be hard being ganged up on. To that say stay strong and put love of God, self and your kids first.

I think it's painfully obvious how more genuine and secure you are than any one of the other women on the show. i know that does not negate the words that other people say but you had every right to do what you did and you were right in your actions. you are a great person and this is the only true quality one can have to aptly prepare for raising children.

Danielle,

Your the best!! just wanted to say that I really like how you handle your self, and where credit is due... I want to give you a sky five! girl hang in their. you do not need anyone, Look at what you have accomplished your daughters, home, everything, keep telling your self... what you have went through to get where you are today. You are the only one that I really like out of all of the housewives. keep it up! Just to let ya know, I have been for you the whole way. You have my support!

Sincerely, Jessie
From: Virginia

Danielle, I loved that $24.00 dress you wore on the reunion show. I have the same dress, bought it at Wet Seal.

Danielle,

Keep on doing your thing. Who cares if you got arrested, stripper, or any of that. Such is life. Everyone has a past, and skeletons, whether they want to admit to it or not.

I feel you that this exposure turned out to be a good thing because now you can finally live in peace and you have no more secrets. Don't bother with the Manzo family because they don't respect you, and you shouldn't surround yourself with people like that. Life is too short for negativity.

Best of luck to you and your adorable girls. They seem very intelligent and level-headed, and kudos to you because that is the product of good parenting. Make sure you help your daughters become well-educated so they can be/do anything they want and don't have to rely on a man for monetary support.

Just don't surround yourself with people who say nasty things to you. There is no need to try to get people to like you; for every nasty person who calls you a prostitution whore or the like there is a good person with a nice heart who will want to befriend you and respect you.

Know that you are probably the most intelligent out of all your castmates, and you shouldn't give them the time of day unless they clean up their acts towards you!

I wish you all the best,
Catherine

Hey Danielle, all I want to say is that you're the MOST real woman on this show. Don't waste your tears on the haters, seriously. "What you think of me is none of my business" is how you have to live!

Best,
Chandler

Danielle,

You're past is in the past. If you have repented, God will forgive you. No one should judge you but God. Keep being strong for your beautiful children. God Bless you and your family.

Danielle,

I noticed tonight on the reunion show that you were not happy. You didn't seem like yourself. It looked like to me that you kept staring at Jacqueline waiting for her to say something to you.

I haven't liked you since the 1st show. I don't know why, guy feeling I guess. What is the problem with you and Dina anyway? Teresa didn't look happy sitting next to you. Why?

I will say that I'm looking forward to Season 2. Can't wait to watch part 2 on Thurs.

Never compromise who you are for anyone. Continue to strive for greatness, Continue to build a safe haven for your childern and may God bless you and carry you in life's journey. For he is the only one that can judge any mortal sole or existence on this earth. One luv.

Danielle,

I absolutely one-hundred percent have been on your side since I began watching this show. I will say that I'm not a big fan of reality shows, but after getting sucked into the RHNYC, I was curious to find out what the RHNJ was like. And unfortunately, it's all about a family that is so wrapped up and in love with themselves that they can't let ANYONE in, and WILL NOT let anyone in, and that's very, very sad. I believe that one of the biggest joys is meeting new people and experiencing new things with people that maybe you DON'T know that well, and EXPANDING the circle in which you socialize. I love how you give everyone a chance before you make a final judgment about them, and it is sad that the GIRLS--NOT WOMEN--on this show do not do that. I can completely sympathize with you on the whole "book" thing where you were at the wrong place at the wrong time--many of us know it all too well, and I have witnessed many good friends run into trouble simply due to unfortunate circumstances.
I truly admire you for how you have brought up your daughters so well with all that you have gone through--they are SO beautiful and poised, and it is clear that you love them very, VERY much. You've got a lot of class, and I think we all saw on the reunion how you related to the other women--and how they never even attempted to relate to you.
Take the high road--you don't need to be around these mean girls. They will never further you, and you're much better off without them. Friendship is SO important, but this friendship with Jaqueline is only going to bring the both of you down because of her family, and I hate that it has to come to that.
Take care and just keep your pretty chin up; you are a gorgeous, strong, stable, sane, loving woman--I can't say the same about your castmates. You will pull through whatever you have to get through, as long as you take the high road and rise above these catty girls.
Much love!

Jesus' blood covered all of our transgressions - sin is sin - big or small - it is the same in the eyes of the Lord - I am sure everyone on the show has SOMETHING in their past they would love to do over. Good Luck to you.

Bless your heart,head up high, it would be my honor to call someone such as yourself...friend.

Danielle, I respect the way you handled yourself at the dinner b/c I would have gone off and probably regretted my actions afterwards. Caroline and Dina both are a mess and love to meddle and control everyone in their family. I can relate to having to deal with an overly controlling family. Hats off to you Danielle.

Without you there would not be much of a show to watch!

Danielle ~ Everyone has "some" kinda past. To hold someone to something that happened 25yrs ago is stupid, when someone is young and figuring out themselfs. Lets face it, we've ALL have kept bad company at one time or another! I think you've held your head up and remained classy and true to yourself. That you should be proud of, your daughter should be very proud. Jaquline is the only one besides yourself with any class what so ever. Dina is a trouble maker and soo enough her hurt ways will catch up with her.

Hang in there Danielle. You are the only real person on this show!!! Live your life for you and no one else!!!

Danielle-

First of all I must say I have never "Blogged" anything in my life- but felt the need after watching some of the programs.

GOOD FOR YOU for sticking up for and believing in yourself. I honestly think that you are the only one who at least sounded educated.

Cheers!

hi i am a supporter i think those other women on the show are really jealous of u i dont usually watch reality shows but i was on vacation and not many stations to choose from i only saw the ending show. but i am an italian from MA and those women are so catty i cant beleive it. but u got the blunt of it. good luck i think u have alot of class

You say in the reunion you have no family... is that why you did all you can to cause friction for Dina, Jaqueline, and Caroline?
Also in an earlier episode you promised Jaqueline to never put her in the position you did at the last supper.. did you have a lapse in memory or are you just ugly spirited?

Danielle life goes on. Im proud of you and Jacqueline for doing what you did.

DEAR DANIELLE,

TO SEE EVERYBODY STAND AGAINST YOU I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I`M WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. I THINK THAT IF YOU HAVE A PAST I THIINK IT SHOULD STAY IN THE PAST AND NEVER BE BROUGHT UP AGAIN. IF SOMEONE DID THAT TO ME I DON`T KNOW WHAT I`D DO UNTIL I`M IN THAT SITUATION. I`M SURPRISED BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE WOULD LET IT GO BUT IN SOME SITUATIONS LIKE THAT PEOPLE NEED TO STAND UP FOR THEM SELVES AND I THINK YOU ARE WAY PAST THAT I THINK YOU`RE DEALING WITH THIS THE RIGHT WAY AND WHATEVER YOU DO I WILL NEVER TURN IT DOWN I WILL SUPPORT YOU.

WHEN MY MOTHER USED TO WATCH THE REAL HOUSEWIVE OF NEW JERSEY I HATED IT BECAUSE I DIDN`T KNOW ANYONE IN THE SHOW. BUT NOW THAT I DO I THINK THAT YOU`RE MY FAVORITE PERSON ON THAT SHOW. I HATE CAROLINE BECAUSE SOMETIMES SHE HAS TO LET PEOPLE HANDLE THEIR OWN SITUATIONS BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE SHE`S A SISTER A MOTHER AND A HOUSEWIVE DOESN`T MEAN THAT SHE HAS TO BE THEIR IN EVERY SITUATION THAT HER RELATIVES ARE IN SHE HAS TO LET GO AND LET THEM DEAL WITH IT AND IF THEY CAN`T DEAL WITH IT YOU STILL HAVE TO LET IT GO.

SINCERELY,
VIEWER
