My grandsons and I loved the show at Westbury but all of you really went out of your way to meet your fans and take pictures, you are wonderful women and we really appreciate what you did after the show
THANK YOU

Hi Dina: I just saw the Reunion parts 1 & 2 tonight and all I can say is wow! some heavy duty shnit!!! I feel so bad for you. It seems like you are the target here and that is not fair. I always say: "I can forgive but I can not forget" Words are stronger than physical pain and hurt worse and thats why people tend to choose to battle their way through fights with words rather than getting physical. One day you will look back at all this and say " wow what nonsense that was" But, unfortunately it will be a memory you cannot forget. So sorry for you. Take care and God bless you and your family and TRUE friends. Good luck with the next season.

OMG, Dina I love love love you to death. But washing the cat in your kitchen sink is so totally NASTY! Even if you are going to sanitize the sink afterwards, yuck its gross.

Dina...I just want to know where you got that beautiful blue dress? I want it ...let us all know...

Dina
It is sooooo clear in EVERY episode, beginning to end, what kind of person you are, and what kind of person Danielle is.
I wouldnt even bother trying to explain it to anyone. If they were
unable to see it, they are just simply ignorant!!
Love you guys, love the show!!
God Bless you all!!!!!
D LaRussa

Dina-You are awesome and don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise. If I lived in New Jersey I would want to be friends with you. You may seem bitchy, but some people can't take people who are honest and tell it how it is....can't wait for season 2!!! Jennifer in California

HI DINA!!!! Have you read the second book? I believe it is called Awakening Your Life's Purpose..or something to that affect..LOL. I also read The Power of Now and then followed up with his second book and like you, they completely changed my life. The way I lived, loved and took each breath. However, like you, a situation in my life caused me to behave in a way I hadn't since reading those books, and I was aghast! The most important thing to realize is that you recognized the behavoir you exhibited as something you didn't like and CHANGED it. You were AWARE. That, to me, was the BEST lesson learned!!! It seems like you are back to fully enjoying your life and you are where you need to be. I am so happy. Stay positive. You crack me up:) I am also a self professed " cat-nut"!!!! I LOVE my cats and Grandma Whiskers( nice name!!) One thing I noticed throughout the show that I am not sure many people realized(or payed attention to because so many people are DRAWN to DRAMA)...your family laughs from the heart. Lexie is the silliest and most self assured young lady who always has a smile on her face. You should be VERY proud of that. Most children mimic their environment that they live and if Lexie is smiling and gigling and happy in every interview she gives then it most certainly says something about you. Best of Luck to you. Kate

Dina! i LOVE YOU! you are an amazing woman an amazing role model, your just totally perfect huney!! :)
i love everything about you lol
i think its safe to say i'd love to be your bff, you should have your own show looking for a bff like paris does, :) ill win for sure,, totally joking,,but oh well beautiful,, i wish u the best of luuckk and send u all my love in this little comment,, mwah!

I enjoyed watching the Jersey women!Dina lovely home but your cat Grandma wrinkles ewwweww.So your Alexis is growing before your eyes.She surely resembles her dad not you so much.Too much drama in Jersey but it made great tv.Love that Theresa and her adorable girls.She just made the show with her personality and daughters.Keep up with the positive attitude and your family will florish and succeed.

I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHERE YOU GOT THAT BLUE DRESS WITH THE ROSETTES YOU WORN TO YOUR BIG DINNER.... I HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE COMPUTER AND IN EVERY STORE.
THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST HOUSE WIVES EVERY (LOVE THE EAST COAST GIRLS) !!!!!!!

Dina,I have collected crosses for years..its my thing!I loved loved ,loved your lg. cross necklaces please be a dear who is the maker and where can i purchase them.cost is not an issue,thanks u u rock!!

i love the show me and my friends discuss about the show the whole time. All the girls are really great... of course except danielle (she is so RUDE) i am glad jaquline is reuntiting and clicking again with the girls and makes all of you seem really close and really happy. Hope you do another season, you are jersey diva!

Dina, the only one with dignity of the bunch. Thank you for yes, having class and being so forgiving if only Teresa and Caroline would do the same! this behavior of theres is more than mortifing it's appauling!

Dina I think you are a good person. I would have read the book too and shared it with family. I think Danielle is a lonely person who wasn't raised in a loving home like you.Maybe the only thing you could do for her is pray for her.She needs it!

DINA:)
heyy i just want to say that you are my FAVORITE person on the real housewives.
i love watching you and your daughters relationship, it reminds me of me and my moms relationship!
and i saw you on my big fat fabulous wedding on WE is that how the people for real wives found you?

If you read this could you send me your chicken and veggies recipe , the one you cooked for your daughter . It looked so good. I am 62 and I think you are fiesty and a good mom . Great combination

Dina,

I never saw anything really unlikeable about you, Caroline, Jacqueline, or Teresa. Of course my personality runs close to what I see from you four. However, when it comes to Danielle, I wouldn't trust her any further than I could throw my Durango. Personally, on the reunion show, I can not believe she was acting all innocent and chaste; I actually believe she was taking some serious medication. Hmm... maybe if she stayed on it, she'd be more likeable. Doubt it. So you and the rest of the girls keep on keeping on. Just in case Danielle reads your blog, may you stay medicated. You were higher than a kite on the reunion show.

I forgot please tell Teresa I would love to have her neck lass. Also if you know of anyone that works with animals for people that can't afford it. My dog Coconuts is 3yrs old and blind it will take at least $2800 to have her surgery and I can't afford it. I know of a Vet that specializes in eye surgery if anyone can help I can give her name and address.I just figure so many people read your site someone might help. Thank YOU

Love you and Teresa and Caroline in the show. You Jersey Girls need to kick Danielle to the curb she is ugly I don't know where she gets she is cute she really hasn't looked in the mirror lately.

You are a great role model for women and I appreciate you exposing your family to all the nonsense that this show can bring. You care about and actively support your community, your husband and daughter are first with you, your family can depend on you, and you do all this while looking classy, speaking your truth, and taking no crap from the nuttier members of the cast. I respect you and honestly think that some of the people that are posting on this blog are as delusional as Danielle. I hate to even give her my energy by typing her name. I think some people just have to distort your personality to fit their negative views of the world. You simply have boundaries and won't let the crazy people of the world and show cross the line. I also respect that characteristic. I too, hate drama and would have run from Danielle, people that are confrontational are just not easy to be around and I hate being as close to them, as you were to her. It was obvious to most people that you were trying to lend support to your friends, while trying to get as much distance from the abusive attacker that you could. Honestly, how could any one blame you. I never thought you were afraid, you would snap that bony, selfish, OLD lady (although I use that word loosely) in half!!!! Look forward to next season, but would suggest that you try to distance yourself from any scene that the "crazy one" appears. Good Luck and your daughter is great. She is grounded, articulate, and most of all, kind. You are doing a great job with her.

Dina,
You are an amazing woman your beautiful on the inside as your on the outside..I love all of you and respect you more than you know..Danielle is toxic to you all STAY AWAY people like her are nothing but bad news ..I enjoy watching the 4 of you guys .I love know your struggles if your making the right decision not because you go thru the struggles it's comforting to know how you handle them I'm a single mom I struggle everyday with my 14yr daughter and son Don't get me wrong I'm blessed with beautiful kids inside and out..I learn so much from all of you .I never thought I would be one of those people to right to anybody on a T.V.show But you what you bring into my life all of you..You have a wonderful family and great friends like Theresa whom I just adore, But your big sis is wonderful her passion for the people that are close to her is a gift to all of you ..I wish you all the best in everything you do with your family ,friends and your careers..God bless you and surround you all with Gods precious angels.........Julia

Dina,
No need to be mortified. You handled this all just fine. And you have learned not to "buy in" to the Danielle Drama.

Her life persuit is all about using others for money and drama. This will never change. Good of you to walk away from her. She has 45 years of experience and is good at it.

Jacqlene did let you down. I am sure that was the most hurtful part of this for you. If I had a "friend" that said the things Danielle did to her about any of my family I would never speak to them again. End of story. No more discussion with that "friend".

I am surprised that Jacqlene made such a huge error in judgement given her strong family upbringing. There were so many red flags for her to pick up on during the show with things that Danielle said to her. She has no excuse for her disloyality to her family. This was not only a slap in the face to you, but to her husband as well.

Hopefully she has learned a lesson and is no longer operating under the hands of the master manipulater Danielle. I don't care what nationality a person is... family is family! Even those who are not Italian know this basic principle. You deserved better from her,(especially given that Danielle is off her rocker to say the least).

Moving forward I hope Jacqlene realizes it is her responsibility to repair the damage she has caused to her entire family. Until then, she should have her car and cell phone taken away and be put on restriction. Just as her husband supports her no matter what, she should support you and the entire family.

Anyway, again you handled this all well. I think your sissy is great and your lives are all richer with her in it. She has a good core. And OMG Tereasa cracks me up. She is funny. She is cute as a bug. I loved watching all of you and I was bothered that bravo let Danielle drama take over and ruin the show. I had to flip the channel every time they showed her ugly face or let the diahreha come out of her mouth.

Best of luck to you and all of your family.

Dina,
I think your great, especially for putting your daughter before your career. It makes a big difference, this way you can keep Lexi away from the "wrong crowd".
I know you prob already been asked what did Danielle try to do. After seeing how upset your sister was over it, i know it has to be something horrible. enough about that nut case. Your cat Grandma; does she have hair? its hard to tell.lol Anyway i cant wait to see you,and the other gals,(not the phyco)lol, next season. take care and god bless

Bring back the New York Housewives! At least they had some class, even when they were fighting!!

Hi...im really admire you...i live all the way down here in American Samoa...i kno you dont know..butt anyways..Everyone down here watches NJ House Wives...and we relly dislike Danielle..i mean she's so fake.. im glad your not sinking down to her low level life.. lol... butt yea i dnt think shes a good mother..&& yeah hope you enjoy life...because Lifes too short to have any enemies...right??..lol..let her hate..who kurrs???..lol..

Dina,
Wow, I love the show and love you. Did you do a wedding reality show?? I think I saw you on that and thought you were beautiful then and still are.

You are raising a beautiful young lady. I think you ae a great mom.

Good Luck in the upcoming years.

DINA- ABOUT BETHENNY,

Oh God, this girl! Did you happen to see her co-host the Today Show. I was so embarassed for her I could hardly watch.

She is so full of herself! She has this way of talking ninety miles a minute and on the show, and I felt sorry for poor Hoda because when she was trying to intereview the various guests that were on, Bethenny talked over her and the guests- she kept turning everything back to herself. She needs to learn subtlety but with her, I'm sure it's impossible. She's all about herself. No wonder she hasn't had much luck dating.
Oh, and she owes you an apology, but if you don't get it, it won't surpise me because everything is ALL ABOUT HER!

Dina,
You are headed in the right place. I am a big believer in the law of attraction and the premise that negatives things can only effect you if you let them. So continue to focus on the positive things in your life and give no attention to caustic people such as Danielle. You have been blessed with a wonderful life so enjoy it to the max.

Dina,
I think your a really lovely women as well as your daughter. Your values and family values are wonderful to see.
best of luck to you and family.
ps i wish i had your hair.

Dina,

I felt compelled to write to you. You are an awesome mother to Lexi. She's sweet and beautiful and level headed. She's always smiling and just seems to be so happy. I wish the rest of the world would walk around with a smile like Lexi. It is CLEARLY obvious that she is growing up in a very loving, nurturing home. I applaud your decision to be home with her and raise her. I know you count your blessings and you should. But you should also know that Lexi is very blessed to have a mother who is so genuinely interested her life! The best to you and your family.

Dina you are great! If I were you I would not want anything to do with Jaqueline because she is a loser who likes to hang out with losers. She has known Danielle for ONE year and had her back over yours at that dinner. That is not family.

Dina,
I just love that dress that you wore at the diner party! Where did you buy that at?

Dear Dina,
You are the best! I think you handled yourself so well, especially with that moron Danielle. Honestly, she is a scary person and stupid. This is the worst combo. There really isn't much you can do with a person like that. And, by the way, she didn't just make mistakes in her past, she is a BAD person and she will never change, EVER. She can pretend for the TV cameras, because she doesn't want anyone to know what SCUM she really is. Also, the best thing you ever did was not to tell the audience what Danielle did or tried to do to you, only because it would keep fueling that dreg, Danielle. She will keep lying, sneaking, and carrying on in various ways to prove she has been victimized by you. She is a PERRENIAL VICTIM. This has been her excuse, for her vendictive, criminal and bad behavior throughout her life. She is what she is and she'll never change. Stay away from her as much as you can, because she'll never stop. She is sooooo hung up on you, because you are everything she wants to be, but never can. Also, people like you, people don't like her. She knows you are a happy and fun loving person. She does not have this capacity for joy. I'm sure that the fact that you are great looking doesn't help.

My family laughs and teases me every time you are on the screen with Lexi. There may be a couple of similarities. My daughter remembers her 2 week vacation without me the same way Lexi will (rolling all over the sofa with laughter).

Luv you Dina, hang in there and don't change......you've got it all, enjoy.

PS You're doing the best thing, by staying home. You'll never regret it!!!

Dina,

You should be mortified. You and your sister's behavior was disgraceful. You two are bullies and set out on a mission to destroy someone's life. Its cruel and awfully sad. Are your lives that unfulfilled that you need to destroy anothers.
What a bunch of hypocrites, you had the children leave the room for Danielle's speech, but Teresa sexual escapades are appropriate for children. You nervousness at the dinner spoke volumes about your guilt. You need big sis there bulldogging for you. Actually she is more like a pit bull--very unlikable.

Dina,after criticizing you and Theresa, which got cut, I have to compliment you. I saw the second part of the reunion. And I have to say that it was admirable of you to forgive Danielle and give her a second chance. You showed great open-mindedness, while reserving judgement. But you are smart as well to reserve that judgement until you see how Danielle is after her apology. I could see on your face a look of empathy and compassion as you became aware that Danielle might be a WOUNDED VICTEM herself from people in her own past as a child. That look said that you are NOT a "Bitch" as you have said that people have called you. And because of that you have totally turned around my original poor opinion of you. I say 'BRAVO' (no pun intended). My hat is off to you. I also know how painful the Mob or Mafia rumors have been to your family. It had to hurt a lot. And maybe the only good thing about it is that it makes one understand how possibly ill-founded rumors swirling around Danielle could feel to the opposing party. Unfortunately, it gave your family an inside view of how Danielle might have felt.But it to your credit that you are able to rise above all of that. And I call that a CLASS ACT!

Dina,
I love you, Jacqueline, Teresa, and I didn't really like Caroline at first, she's a very strong personality, but I absolutely love her now and you guys are very lucky to have a sister that truly cares about you guys and is so protective and loving of you all.

Anyways I just wanted to say that you are such a great mom to Lexi and you seemed like you were beating yourself up a little for not being there as much as you would have liked to, but you seem to be doing a great job with her.

And also, I had a baby cousin that died of cancer last year when she was barely a year old. She was born infested with tumors and they didn't find out until it had reach the stage were is was nearly impossible to survive. She gave a good fight and for a minute there she was kicking the cancer's butt, but she ended up loosing her battle to cancer. It is charities like yours that help babies and children like my cousin and I just wanted to thank you for everything you're doing for these children even if I don't know them personally it was an organization like yours that helped our Angel fight and really I truly thank you for that. I don't think I could thank you and people like you enough.

Dina,
You really impressed me with the way your handled the apology of Danielle. Time has a way of healing all wounds. This, too, shall pass. You and Lexie remind me so much of my daughter and I. She is now 22. When she went to college I thought I would die. It was like a death to me. I missed her so much. As Lexie grows into a young woman....attitude is sure to follow. Just always remember she loves you more than anything or anyone. She will come around. My daughter and I are best friends. She moved to another state after graduation. We spoke on the phone for two hours tonight. We watched your show together. I cried with you when Lexie left for vacation. Keep doing what you do. You have class, and true grit. That in itself will take you to the highest level of accomplishment. You are truly making a difference. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

Please let us know what Danielle TRIED to do to you!

I think I may have figured out the big secret from the final reunion episode is...Danielle made a pass at your husband?

DEAR DEENA YOU ARE SO CLASSY. I ENJOYED YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR DAUGHTER SHE HAS SO MUCH TO BE PROUD OF ,I THINK YOU SHOULD ADOPET A CHILD YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO GIVE LOVE KATHY

GIRL I THINK YOUR A CLASSY, LADY! I LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE REAMIN POSITIVE AND DON'T LET NEGATIVE PEOPLE BOTHER YOU!

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!
LIZ FROM MADERA, CA

DINA!!!! Please tell us what eye-makeup you use, specifically on the reunion episode. The bronze shadow is beautiful.

You looked great! Thanks!

Love you and although I admire you and respect you come up....YOU HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT BOOK BEING EXPOSED!!!! BUT ITS OK...STILL LOVE YA...

I love you lady! You are not only beautiful, you and your sister are tight and believe in family unity first! Love it!

Dina! i love you so much! I think u did the right thing at the dinner table that night and i think danielle is CRAZY! your my favorite house wife and i love the big italian family you have, i have a best friend who has a family which is like my second family and they act just like your family!

Hi Dina,
I met you 10 years ago at Middletown Country Club in Bucks county. You havent aged a day! Hope to see you next year on the show. You girls are great..... except Danielle( she is quite creepy.
Excellent job :)

Dina,

Your Hott As Hell...

You And Your Family Are Like Ours... We Have Fun We Laugh And Stick Together..People Just take things and twist them but my family and i think you guys are amazing.
the hell what people think your great!

You are Ok..I like the fact that you decided to stay home for your family! Take care of the house, husband, daughter and cat! Brava! Your sister is too controling.. must be hard! I do not like her she comes out like a trucker..with her " BRING IT ON' you should drop that also it's not becoming! Remember no texting at a dinner table.....manners are important!

Dina is B-O-R-I-N-G! Please replace this housewife if you do another series.

Well, actually, BORING and CRUEL.

Didnt I see you on VHI million dollar weddings some time ago? Is that how you & your family got picked to be on Housewives?

Dina - great judge of character; after watching the first show i didn't like Danielle and believe she just loves being the center of drama. I loved seeing the bond between you and your daughter, i also have a teenage daughter and i am very protective of her. I saw myself in you during the episode when your daughter was leaving to visit her father. They grow up before you know it and i know you are glad you decided to put your career on hold to spend more time with your daughter!!!!!

Dina!!
I love you and I have so much respect for you!! I think it is so stupid how Danielle is constantly pestering you and lashing out at you! You are so strong and you are such an inspiration for many women out here! You are such a wonderful mother too! Keep up the great work!!

Hi Dina,

The most beautiful, well-rounded, classy lady of the bunch. I love your high spirit. Your daughter is so well adjusted and educated for her age. You can tell how much time you have spent with her to instill good values. Being married to a Greek man brings back some memories when Lexi went to Cyprus. Yes, the villages still have turkish toilets and no shopping malls close by, however, those memories she will cherish every year. Stay classy and close to your family.

Ciao elegantone!

I LOVE YOU!!!! you are so beautiful and i agree with everything you say. I love when you went to that birthday party and danielle is like i think we will be pretty good friends...and you said will i ever be her friend? no!
Also your daughter is beautiful and has a great personality!

Dina-

You and your sister seem like very good mothers, you must have come from a strong family to have such strong happy family's yourself. I like watching you and your daughter a little more then your sister and her kids because your daughter is hilarious and I love the bond you two show. Chin up and smile!

DINA love you! you are my absolute fav housewife and your daughter is hilarious. love the bond you have with your family. DANIELLE scares me lol like everything about that broad seems shady shes creepy. who cares about the HATERS on here your a good person remember that. you rock!!! ~bryt~

Dina -

I just have to say, i was soooo p-o'd when I saw you interviewing that dude to be your "personal assistant". WHERE was that job posted that I missed it ??? :(
Can do a MUCH better job than he can. :)...If he doesnt work out, look me up ! :)

ps..i gotta say, the funniest part on the show where i laughed my ass off....was when Lexie sneezed under her bed while cleaning out the stuffed animals and hit her head on the box spring..LOLOLOL....

One word for you..is all that I have...CRUEL

Dina

Both you and Caroline, I love. I think out of all the "Housewife" shows you make New Jersey proud. I find it hard to believe that some of these bloggers are so nasty, but it does take commonsense to sometimes see the bad in others. We all make some bad joices, but Danielle seems to be on the attack when it comes to you. I've been there with someone in my life. Anyway, you seem to be a great Mom and your daughter is so funny. Love her too. Hope you liked the hotel in AC my brother designed it!

Here's to family!!! Janice from Jersey

Dina
First, when you showed the picture on the 1st reunion show, I had a flashback of my old 80's hair styles.

love, love, love, LOVE Dina. Favorite housewife... actually I can't make up my mind between Dina and Caroline. Anyway keep being beautiful and classy! :) oh and good luck with your bubbies!!!

Dina, I had to comment and let you know that you are super amazing awesome! When I look at you and Caroline, its like seeing the Italian versions of myself and my awesome big sis. I understood and respected where you were coming from at the dinner. Danielle is not worth discussing...so enough said. Lexie is proof that you are an amazing person, so don't allow any negativity to interfere with you or your family. I have so much appreciation and respect for you and your relationship with your entire family. Project Ladybug is such a worthy cause and you should be proud. Your wardrobe the entire season was fabulousity at its finest!!! I'm inspired by your spirit, style, and grace.

Dina, I just love your demeanor. Thank you for conveying a genuine sense of self-respect, and for making a point to instill that in your daughter. Contrary to what bravo tv might think, I would PREFER to watch next season (if there is one), sans Danielle. She is painful to watch in that she is too selfish to even try to see herself as others see her. I think you especially have been extraordinarily patient with the way she talks over and through everyone else to turn the issue around to her "victimization." In any case, I admire you and your relationship with your daughter. You seem like a lovely self-possessed woman.

Dina I want your ladybug ring from the Reunion.. where did you get it???

DINA
LOVE LOVE YOU. YOU ARE MY FAVORITE HOUSEWIVES OR ALL INCLUDIN' THE OTHER WIVES FROM DIFFERENT SHOWS AND WATCHIN' THE SHOW WE ARE THE SAME. I THINK THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE THAT I DONT IS A KID BUT WE BOTH ARE THE YOUNGEST OF THE FAMILY AND MY SISTER AND I IS LIKE YOU AND CAROLINE AND WHEN I DID THE WHICH HOUSEWIVE ARE YOU IT WAS YOU. WE'RE ALSO ALIKE WHEN THINGS START TO GET BAD I DONT LIKE FIGHTIN' OR ANY OF THAT BUT ONLY WHEN I HAVE TO CAUSE I WAS MORTIFIED BY JUST WATCHIN' IT. WELL ANYWAY I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT AND TO LET YOU KNOW HOW IM YOUR #1 FAN FOR LIFE. SO I WISH YOU A HAPPY LIFE :}
P.S I LOVE THE COLOR OF YOU EYES AND HOW IT MATCHES YOUR HAIR COLOR PEACE OUT

Dina-Darling!
First...you are my fav housewife - ever. I respect you so much, and respect the things you do for your family. Set aside all the D-Drama! Having respect for your husband's wish to not be involved with the show, and being the best mom and woman possible for your daughter. That's enough right there to show you are a good person with a level head.
Second...I NEVER would have associated the Sopranos/Mob stuff to your family. And I was shocked to here it on the Reunion. Who cares what others think, you know in your heart what is the truth...who cares who outsiders think. You have my vote :)
Stand your ground, the fake and drama people will come and go, just take care of the people you love. At the end of the day, you did what you thought was best...
Here in Cali - best wishes to you and all your family.

Go Dina!

Dina,

Your daughter is clearly a well-adjusted, intelligent, sweet hearted girl and that is a credit to you as a mother. I agree with your decision to stop working - she will be all grown up and gone before you know it.

Don't sweat the D-Drama, she attacked you to shift the focus off the book, nothing more. You handled it like a lady while dealing with someone who has clearly never been one.

Dina, you rock! so does your family and your friend theresa.. sorry you guys caught up with a drama seeking woman.

Dina
My mother was a stay at home mom, off and on, it does make a big difference in a child's life. So I think it is great you are able to spend more time with your daughter. The memories I had with my mom growing up, can never be replaced, I know you and your daughter will also have those memories.
As for Danielle she is just something to learn from, women like her never change, I have a family member like her, the best thing is to pretend they do not exist. It never changes. I think you took the high road, was honest on the reunion show, as everyone was but Danielle. I am looking forward to part 2, hope to see a season 2. Wishing you the very best.

Well, Miss Dena, you must be very happy with yourself. You lie and talk about people and won't own up to it!!! What's up with that, instead you let other's take the fall and have your sister stand up for you! You need to take a BIG look in the looking glass and assess yourself.

I think you are a very loving Mother and family member. But since you decided to hide behind the "I'll pray for you thing". God says forgive those that mistreat you, pray for those that dispitefully use you, bless those that curse you. I think you got openly exposed lat the last supper but your rage and bitterness was apparent before that. Sin is sin your pride and holier-than- thou or her sexual sin. Stop feeeling so superior.

Good job Dina!
Don't let mean people distract you.

Dina, you are so super gorgeous. I don't think you are mean at all, I just think you are honest. I would have a hard time being around Danielle at all, so props to you for being in the same room with her. You don't love her, and you aren't going to be fake about it. That's the NJ way, hence the point of housewives from different cities. Anyway, I think you are absolutely beautiful, and your "my husband married me for my face" is dead on. I wouldn't mess with it either, LOVE you.

Hi Dina - I think it's pretty cool that you devoted yourself to your career for a while, decided you want to spend more time with your daughter, and had the courage to change course. Many women who have spent time building a business/career would not have the personal strength and confidence to drop what they've been building and just follow their hearts.

Your not my favorite character but your daughter is hilarious:)

Dina,
I love you and Caroline; you laugh so easily, it's so contagious!

When you talk with your daughter; it's so sincere, i would have liked to have seen more of both Caroline and your children; they laugh just as easy as the two of you.

During the fund raiser I thought you did a GREAT JOB; you can tell this was a very important project for you!

I hope we get to see more of you, Caroline, Jacquline and Teresa!!!!

the thing that danielle has against you is that, she thinks it isn't fair that you have been through the bad times and came out just fine, if not more than fine..and she has been stuck in the bad times and has yet to improve her life at all...she want the life you have...and also she knows that you don't like her and the only way she can get you to talk to her is by getting you to argue with her... so that what i think... by the way i love you so much...bye

Dina,
You're great! I'd love to be you sister. Danielle is disgusting and jealous. You're a great mom and she's a pig. Keep it up, Alex is beautiful and you're doing everything right.

Dina

You are so gorgeous. I love the show. I love the fact that you and your sister are so close. My sisters are my best friends. Family is family. You really carried yourself well with the whole book incident. You admitted your fault in the situation. She however wanted to just focus all of her anger on you. She is so clearly jealous of you and for good reason look at the poor girl. Shes does need your prayers. She will NEVER have what you have. Most men are not interested in gold diggers that look like that. Don Johnson not on her best day would he have ever looked or kissed her plezzz what nonsence. Did you see her mug shot? ugh sooo very sad. Don't listen to the haters. Keep it real.

Dina, don't sweat it. From the Bravo footage, you seem like a great mom and a great businesswoman. Who needs Danielle and her drama?? That seems to be exactly your philosophy. Your devotion to your family is refreshing and inspiring. I can only hope I have the same relationship with both my sister and my in-laws. Hope you and Lexi (who is adorable, by the way!) are doing well!

God bless,

Katie

Dina, I love you and the girls, sans Danielle. You all did a great job on the reunion show. Those NYC woman can learn MORE than a thing or two from you all. Despite your dislike of Danielle you all were quite respectful to her when speaking to her. I admire that. It is great that you have chosen to stay home with Lexie, she is adorable! Enjoy her and I wish you continued success in all you do.
By the way Bethenny~ it is the HOUSEWIVES, what are you exactly?? Besides being so self-promoting, yuck! She should donate $ to your charity and give you a deal at your next event on her Famous Cocktail!

Dina,

You appear to be a LIAR. And it appears you are completely using other people to your advantage; admit your mistakes and get over it the rest of us will. If you have an opinion voice it and stop looking to your side for assertion. You acted like a child trying to run and hide during the "last supper" episode just because another adult was confronting you in a civil manner.

Grow up already.

Dina,
Not only are you beautiful but you have the most amazing daughter. I am a secretary in a middle school and I know kids! Your daughter is grounded, smart, quick witted and very mature for her age. You are an amazing mom. I wish we were friends!JULIE K

you are not perfect..nobody is..the whole book situation was stupid and immature on all levels from anybody who made a big deal about it including you as well as Danielle..you are not perfect so it would make you look better if you stop acting like it..and you being a grown woman you should know that what happens in the past stays in the past. Danielle is not that person now and Jacqueline is the only one who sees it and thats sad.

Love you and love your family. You were right to pray for Danielle. She seems to be a very unhappy and manipulative person hell bent to "get you". I will pray for her also. Keep your head high and enjoy your time with Lex and your hubby. Hope to see more of you and your family in the coming months...LOVE THE SHOW!!!

Dina - You are so fab! Good for you to decide to stay home. I appreciate that there are women still out there that believe family is more important than money.

Dina-I think you are fabulous!! You are an awesome woman. Mend the rift with your brother Chris before it goes any further. My brother and sister haven't spoken to each other in 10 yesars (I'm in the middle and it kills my mother). Family come first. I do agree with another viewer that I don't feel you were 100% innocent in the whole book thing but we all know it was totally inappropriate for Danielle to bring that book to a nice family dinner where children were present. I loved Caroline's statement that she doesn't understand what Jacqueline sees in Danielle that makes her friendship worthy. It just seemed from the start that Danielle was intentionally trying to cause trouble with you and drive a wedge between you and Jacqueline. That's obvious jealousy. She wants to be you. Yes...skin you and wear you like last years Versace!! My husband is from Jersey and I swear there is a family in Cherry Hill that could be your family's clones. You're an awesome mom and your daughter is adorable. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the show!!

Dina:

I am not trying to re-establish a feud in your family but the truth is that your family was played hook, line and sinker. Jacqueline established a relationship with Danielle because it was exactly what she needed to satisfy her inner anger at you and your family but especially you. The argument you and her had in her home never was forgotten and it festered. If you think all that drama was all Danielle then I feel sorry for you. I don't think Jacqueline is a bad person but I do know she is a very insecure person and she will lash out in a very passive aggressive manner. Danielle is no Saint by any means but she is not the devil your family is trying to portray her to be. Your brother knows more then he is saying but he is justified in his frustration with you and Jacqueline.

I hope you women learn to respect one another. You may all be different and nobody on the show is without sin but you should respect yourselves.

WATCH YOUR BACK you may love your family but sometimes family hurts us the most.

Bonnie
