Dina,

I promised I was not going to get hooked on another RH series, so I didn't watch(much) of the RH ATL and RH NJ, until one day when I saw you washing your kitty in the sink. Finally, a RH with a cat! I know this kind of cat, I love all cats(all animals really).. I have three rescue cats myself.. I will be watching NJ now in hopes of catching you in more episodes, and your kitty!

You have to be a good person to take such good care of an animal.. thats all there is too it.

Best Wishes!

Dina, I am a big fan of you and have always seen the things you do are always to help others. I hope that your life can be stress free with Danielle drama and any other drama that may come your way.

Dina, I LOVE Grandma Wrinkles. What type of cat is she and where can I get one? Sometimes I wish I had hairless dogs. When you gave her a bath I almost cried at how sweet she is. I used to own pot belly pigs. No one could understand how I could own such an "ugly animal". To me they are the cutest things alive so I understand a bit. Also, I completely understand your love for the little piggies too.

hey im 19 year old girl from uk and i want to say I LOVE GRANDMA wrinkles. she is the cutest cat and when you gave her a bath it melted my heart. she is lovely.
reminded me of my own cat who is like a baby and clings to me too.

grandma is amazing and also your kindness and forgiveness to danielle was beautiful, but i would suggest not to be friends with her, just to leave all that negative engery and be beautiful liek you are.
:)

Hi Dina.. I dont blame you one little bit for being parronoyed about Lexi's trip.. I am 22 years old and Ive been to Greece twice, men over there are(not all of them)do give off the dirt ball vibe. I think your relationship with her is so fun to watch, she's hilarious.

Dina,
I love your cats, I have 2 of my own! I think Danielle was very uncouth for bringing that book to the restaurant in the first place, in my opinion she is phony and clingy you on the other hand are down to business no nonsense and real, I applaud you for those characteristics.
Mrk

I am so glad that you finally decided to take the high road and offer on olive branch to Danielle.
I think initially you may have been jealous of Danielle because she is a former model and actress and perhaps you were afraid she might take some attention away from you. It appears you may be maturing.
Lexi is adorable and appears well adjusted.
You are fortunate to have a large and close family. It is unfair and mean not to want family members to have new friends outside your circle. Danielle never had a chance with you and Caroline, book or no book.
I hope you and your family can show some compassion to Danielle. She is obviously very lonely and could use a friend or two.
Best of luck to you in the future!

Dina-
You and your sister are my favorites from this season of the Real Housewives, you are one awesome woman! I really admire you, and I love your sense of humor. You are also a fantastic mother, keep of the great work, Lexi seems like a great, smart kid:)

I absolutely adore the relationship you and Lexi have! Lexi is such a funny, happy, well adjusted young lady and I just love how you two make each other laugh. There is obviously so much love between you two. I am a young mother to my beautiful four year, and I sincerely hope that when he is as old as Lexi is, that he loves me as much as she loves you!!

I think your (and Carolyn and Teresa) family values are worth looking up to!! I usually don't get into reality shows, but even with the drama, I just love seeing how you ladies treat your families. I think it is a subplot of the show that really deserves more attention!!

ok, sorry to sound like a booty kisser!! I wish you all the very best!

The females on this show are are mean!

What I am sad about is not so much the dinner episode but how it led up to it when especially you, Caroline, and Teresa laughed and made fun of Danielle in different episodes. Dina, you were having a good time laughing in one episode and said, "I think that is called prostituion." You could tell that you three enjoyed every minute of it instead of being MORTIFIED, but when it caught up with you it was different, and the tears flowed because you didn't like the stories being told about you in the blogs, media, etc. I pray for all of you and your families.

Dina-
dont worry this is a nicely worded letter. haha, i just wanted to say i love this season, i am so touched by u, i hope that one day i can be like u, ur a strong woman, living a great lifestyle, whos intelligiant and fun. im a thriteen year old, who hope to be like u one day :) your my inspiration, my role model, and my hero.

love always-
<3delanie

p.s.-wish u the best, and lexi (:

You are beautiful, but i dont know if you are genuine.

I gotta say, from what I know about the whole book debacle, I don't really see a whole lot wrong with your or Caroline's behavior.

If you all didn't have children, I'm sure this would have played out differently. But, when there are children involved, one cannot be too careful.

I would have done the same if not worse.

I love to hear overprotective mom's talk about the same stuff I deal with day in day out too. My kids think I am nuts and that I want to wrap them in bubble wrap ever time they leave the house. Dina, you were my hero last night when you told your sis you were going to focus on your daughter, family and home in exchange for working. Everything you said last night goes through alot of us working mom's heads. Now if I just had the guts to step up and do it myself. I have a 12 year old too and being there for her now is more important than ever. And yes, I have found Halloween candy hidden in the closet!! LOL Good Luck!!!

Loved watching the show and the closeness that you and Caroline have as sisters and friends. It was nice to see a mother and daughter together enjoying being with each other. I love your daughters' sense of humor and I'm sure you have a lot of fun together. Good for you. Can't wait for the reunion show and hope you'll all be back next season.

Hey Dina! First off let me say that I think that you are beautiful and your family! You have the right state of mind about doing what you need to do for your daughter! I do the same for my boys! I will never get that time back with them! I respect the eay that you handle every situation and honor you for always coming out to be a lady! Even though you would label your self as a shoe whore! LOL!

Love watching you & your kid...you guys (more like you)are soooooo cute. The Leaving for Greece episode cracked me up. Please do keep up the good work..all she'll need is a few gay friends and she'll be set.

and Danielle is nasty your Right to not deal w/ her nonsence. good for you...

B.

Love you guys this has been the best i think you are a great judge of caracter and a great mother keep doing what you are and be back soon

I think Dina is great, and I also think susan10 is constipated!

Dina you are the BOMB!!! My daughters and I love you and your sister Caroline. I am the proud mom of three girls and I pray everyday that they are as close and take care of each other the way your family does. Cold you, NEVER. YOU ARE HOT! HOT! HOT!

I think that you are cold hearted and mean to Danielle, you should know how it feels like to be a single mother. you were there before. Why would you start gossips about people when you are supposedly this well known and respected woman? Please act your age and be a good role model to your daughter. Actions speaks louder than words. And stop contradicting yourself.

Dina,
As much as I would like to believe that the group of you didn't want the information to come out that you knew about the book its out there and how its being handled is just bazzare to me. Do I believe Danielle did all that it says probably, should she be kept at arms length yes but not because of the book but for the person she is today. I do not see much of a change from then to now in her, other than the money. Money doesn't clean up someones act it just makes it easier to hide it unless someone you pissed off talks. I feel for her kids as well as well as all the kids on the show, watching this must make all the "housewives" look like lunitics.

I absolutely love your show. I am a reality show whore... so of course I have watched every "Real Housewife" season. New Jersey is my FAVORITE!!! You women are freaking hilarious and seem to have your priorities in the right place....FAMILY. Nice to see that you have something in common with the real world : ) Can't wait for the finale.

Dina, I think your awesome! I totally understand why you feel the way you do towards Danielle. If someone tries to hard to be friends, I would question that too. I've been there and actually still there! lol. I don't judge people but if I sense there is something shady about a person, I would not go out of my way to get to know them. Why bother when you have great friends already. And because of that they will automatically think you don't like them and start drama. If I choose not to be your friend, move on. Why waste your time on someone who doesn't want to get to know you. Right? If Danielle wants to be friends with Jacquelin then she should concentrate on that rather than befriending you, caroline or teresa. If s/o is giving me the cold shoulder, I'd say whatever and move on. Watching you handle this situation is helping me with my unwanted friendship with this person. Thank you and fuck what everyone else has to say. Your not a cold person. You know what you want and Danielle is not one of them.

Hi Dina,
Love the show!!!! Just wondering where you purchased the silver dress with jewels on the trim?

I think you are absolutely fantastic and just beautiful. You're a blonde Sophia Loren and so entertaining. It's obvious how much you love your girl, I feel the same way about my son. I am so disappointed that this season is almost over! Maybe I'll see you in AC!

Dina, even though I dont think u guys were always fair to Danielle, I do think you were trying to protect family, and made what you felt was the best decision. Love you on the show, find u and your family to be very real, and I cant WAIT for the season finale. Keep being you, and loving your family.

BTW-love your hair, looks so luxerious. Is it extensions?

Dina,

I love your family. You and Caroline are so funny, and I don't think that there is anything wrong with the way you watch out for each other. It is clear that she loves you and would go to the end of the earth for you and you would do the same for her. Perhaps the people that judge your relationship with you sister and sister-in-law are a little jealous that they don't have someone watching their back. And if anyone needs their back watched, it is you, because Danielle is outside of her mind and clearly does want to wear you like last year's Versace. Obviously the people that are bashing you and praising her are related to Danielle, friends of Danielle (i feel sorry for those people), and/or named Danielle Staub.

Keep up the good work,
Lindsey

Can someone tell me what kind of cat Dina has on the show. I'm allergic to cats, but since its hairless would consider getting one.
Thanks

Dina~ After reading everyone's comments, I feel compelled to add a couple of my own. I find you cold, judgmental, childish, a gossipmonger and hatefilled. It's hard to understand why some of the other comments appearing on your blog praise you. I can't find one redeeming quality in either you or Caroline who is also cold, judgmental and controlling. Who do you think you guys are to tell Jacqueline to drop Danielle? I wonder what's in either of your backgrounds that you'd hate to see brought up now -- on TV no less! And now Theresa is becoming you and Caroline, by the looks of what's coming up next week. It seems to me that all the drama you vocally detest, actually comes from you, Caroline, and now Theresa. The three of you have become detestable in my estimation. Thank God I don't have anyone like the three of you in my life, which is blessed with long-time, close friendships. Wonder if this will actually appear on your blog?

Dina I think you're funny, however, I have to agree with "Chesca". I realize that this show thrives off of drama, however, who cares what Danielle did before?! If you don't like her, good for you. Find a new hobby other than preying on Danielle's past. Grow up Dina and talk about something that is relevant or current. By the way does it really matter who Jacqueline converses with? Don't be jealous that you don't like Danielle and Jacqueline does. You and Caroline can't tell her who her friends will and will not be. My family is very close as well, however, I would never make my sister-in-law to nominate who her friends are.

You seem so down to earth and straightforward, you and Caroline both, you ladies rock!

Dina,
I think that it is amazing how close you are with your sister. I have three sisters and we are not as close as you two but I wish we were. I think your family is just amazing and how real you are with everyone is a rarity that most people should strive to have.

I don't know why you and your family think you have the right to do this to Danielle just because you have money and power.Dina You are now in a position of power because you have your never present-rich husband (I wonder why he is never present) but you said that when you got divorced you when through tough times just like Danielle is experiencing now (maybe not quite because you have your family). I think you are smart and a good mother, but mean because the money your husband has is going to your head. Danielle is behaving with much more class than you, she invited you to her house for the spa treatments and you started acting like a silly mean highschool girl when you made those comments.

Just one question, Dina...

What makes you think that Danielle's life is any of your business?

You have the most beautiful face I've ever seen. You should enter the Mrs. America Pagent.

i really like dina. i think she is cool and amazing and her attitude is out of this world. i like the way she speaks her mind.

Its funny how you move to New Jersey and complain about the fact that no one liked you and then you turn around and do the same thing to someone else. Its kind of funny that your new husband (who still hasnt been seen once) is the brother in law of your sister and you guys are so concerned about the family but not bothered by the fact that your father in law was found in his trunk

Dina,

You are a smart lady! Danielle is soooo jealous of you!! She is just hater....Just keep it pushin' girl and avoid that crazy bitch!

Dallas/Houston gal here!! I just recently started watching the show as of 5/06/09..LOL...I had to catch up and I must say I could not stop laughing! I am not one to watch these reality shows but I admit this is my one guilty pleasure..As I was watching I found myself just adoring you Dina! Your quick wit and sober sense of humor CRACKED ME UP after a hard week!! I thought the other gals were great, I find it funny what people have said on those blogs..Instead of talking trash they just need to quit taking life so serious! I say..Keep it up! You are gorgeous and my fav!! Let me not get started on Mr. Spock Danielle brows...That would take all damn day...Do people that nasty really exist?? I am sorry... Dina, you are the best!! I added you on my facebook today 6-09-09, excited to maybe hear from you!!! MUAH!!

Hi Dina, I was wondering where you got the fertility bracelet for Jacqueline? I thought that was a beautiful thing to give someone. I have been trying to conceive for the past two years and I would try anything at this point. I love watching the show!

Dina - Please ignore all these crazy people in these comment posts... bottom line, Danielle is crazy jealous...and just plain crazy.

If we were friends, and you knew about this book, kept it to yourself and didn't tell me.. let me continue to keep Danielle's company and let me think that is was OK for her to continue to be around my children... I WOULD BE FURIOUS AT YOU FOR NOT TELLING ME. You did the right thing... don;t second guess yourself or let anyone tell you any different. You are a great mother, aunt, friend, sister and sister-in-law.

I will pray for you guys!

Danielle is one of those people that no one likes from the get go. I mean, she had a blind date the first ep then she is dating a 29 year old ep 2 or 3. I am her daughters have to support her WAY too much emotionally. Alone from the book, she is just a nut job!! Dina, I/we need you to open up more in a chearful way and make your husband show his face!!!! Love Eric

For those of you who are criticizing Dina, I would like for you to think about the following situation. If you were interviewing somebody to be a nanny for your own child, would you hire that person if you found out they were connected to a book that accused them of possession, kidnapping, and prostitution? absolutely not! You fail to realize that Dina, Caroline, and Teresa are concerned for the safety of their families. Danielle is obviously a questionable individual and you don't simply let a person like that into your lives saying, "oh, well the past is the past; people change".

Hi Dina

OK, are some of these people writing these blogs nuts or what? Bottom line here is that you nor your family owe Danielle anything, must less a friendship. The allegations in this book are beyond gossip or "youthful indiscretions"- you are completely in line to question this and have concern for her being a part of your family. Anyone with common sense would do the same thing. My thought is that if she is so concerned with people questioning her past, why are her current actions screaming that she is capable of such a past? Dear Lord, get a job, support yourself, show some class when it comes to discussing your sex life, and learn how to take advice when you ask for it instead of blowing up at the person(s) just telling you what you don't want to hear.
Its clear that she wants to create more drama instead of taking some personal responsibility by blaming you for bringing this book to everyone's attention (which I doubt you did anyway). You didn't write it or star in it.

I have to say that I like you and the entire Manzo clan more and more with every episode. I like the fact that you and Caroline don't let people take advantage of you and you make people earn your trust and respect. By the way, your daughter is so cute. She's going to be a handful in her later teenage years, but it shows that she is a well-behaved young lady and respects you.

Can't wait until next week!

Diana,
I think all the drama is what Danille likes. She is a bit to pushy and is more the kids friend than mother. Her girls are precious and should not have to deal with "the book" and I hope they don't but ex's are what they are. The logic to blame you for bringing it out is redicilious. She needs to grow up get a job and quit robbing the cradle for boyfriends. Oh, by the way she should put on some clothes, she is 47 not 17
