Apparently, this is the news of the day. All this time, we were thinking the prostitution whore was a really nice lady who was into yoga and worked tirelessly for charities where she made pies for the homeless and the hungry.
Wait. No one was thinking that. The events leading up to the table flip heard ’round the world exposed her as someone with a past that included kidnapping, extortion, prostitution, drug deals and being involved with the Colombian Cartel according to her first husband’s book Cop Without A Badge. The same source mentions that she was a paid escort and a stripper with a major coke problem back when she went by the name Beverly Ann Merrill.
Then there was that time that she tried to get Dina Manzo to lose custody of her daughter Lexi. Danielle allegedly gave someone related to Lexi’s father the names and numbers of Bravo executives who were in charge of contracts so that he could get Lexi off the show. She also claimed that Dina forged her father’s signature so that Lexi could be on the show. Apparently Danielle didn’t want there to be any competition for her daughters that she exploited on the show. I believe it was Dina she threatened to skin and wear like last season’s Versace.
Then as the moral authority on making good choices as a mother, in June of 2010 she made and released her own sex tape.
Back in 2016 audio was circulating the Internet that appears to be Danielle Staub having some sort of a meltdown with her then boyfriend because she can’t find their pot. She referred to the marijuana repeatedly as “n***** pot” and calling her former Navy Seal boyfriend a “fucking Mexican.” When the boyfriend points out she is acting psycho, she threatens him with her “fucking cartel.” The actual audio was recorded in 2015.
So in case it was not clear in the years from 2010 until September of 2017, Danielle Staub is a sorry excuse for a human being. She kidnapped someone who owed her drug dealer pimp in an attempt to extort the family for money.
Today, there are multiple sites reporting that some of the RHONJ are embarrassed to have filmed with her this season. Despite being all buddy, buddy with the scum of the earth all season, apparently someone sent a few of them the audio of her using the n word. And now they want her erased out of the upcoming season.
Danielle was in nearly every single season this season. She filmed more than some of the full time housewives. She is not going to be erased out of the season. This is not news to the Bravo executives. This is why she was hired. Housewives watchers love nasty horrible felons. If you really wanted to see normal women spending lots of money you’d watch Ladies of London and Real Housewives of Auckland. But most of you don’t.
Today, ratings are plummeting on this site and all other entertainment sites. There are fires on the west coast and two major hurricanes in the southeast (with Jose and Katia still twirling around somewhere.) Mexico had a major earthquake. Everyone is kind of busy at the moment. So this is just manufactured drama to have something to report on.
Oh, I forgot to mention the most hysteric part, that should be obvious. Which housewives exactly are worried about Danielle Staub ruining their good name and damaging their brands? This whole story is ridiculous. They sign a contract that literally spells out that the show is going to damage their reputation and make them look like fools.
It’s the #RHONJ the home & the beginning of “The Real Felons Of Bravo” Why should having this felon back be any different for this franchise. We have the main felon Teresa who can rob people of millions of dollars with her hubby Joe (I’d say “allegedly but ?) She goes to “camp” & then is welcomed back on Bravo. Then we have the newest additions the Laurita’s who may not be on the show anymore but…… Also a few yrs ago didn’t The Brownstone have some issues? We had “disgusting Jim & his disgusting wife Amber. Who knows what Joey Guidice really does for his money? #justsaying Lets just call the show “The Real Housewife Felons of New Jersey” & stay tuned for the fireworks “allegedly” covering my ass as these people know people who know people ..lol or so Danielle would have us believe in Season 2
Didn’t Teresa make some anti semitic remarks the first season of RHONJ?
She was talking about how Jews make the best husbands and Gia was crying saying she didn’t want to marry a Jew. It was disgusting. Then there were the gay slurs that Juicy was using.
Did Danielle use the same plastic surgeon as Brandi Redmond???? Their scary pulled eyebrow look identical!
Agreed!
TT- as you know, ANDY loves the dirtiest ones. It’s no wonder he brought her back. Though Danielle thinks he brought her back because she makes good TV, it’s another double cross on his part because you know he was well aware of all this nastiness and he is creaming his jeans thinking of this seasons potential ratings. I for one stopped watching RHONJ seasons ago when it became Felons of NJ. I hope many others do the same. I want the paying big bucks to felons to stop.
She is a different breed of nasty felon if you ask me. Just messy.
Cosign on the nasty, she makes Kelly Dodd look like a saint.
Agree with you there on Kelly. Danielle is creepy/scary IMO.
I’ve been hopelessly addicted to every Real Hose Beasts series since Episode One of RHOC. It’s like crack. Or, so I’ve heard. ? I feel my brain cells dying but I don’t care. I keep coming back for more, just like a lab rat. That said, there are certain Real Hose Beasts so toxic that the brain damage is too painful, even for us wily veterans. Danielle Staub is in that bad batch. Why Bravo paid good money to recycle that hideous bag of walking beef jerky is beyond me. There’s not such a shortage of amoral Hose Beasts living beyond their means in NJ that they can’t scrape us up a new one, is there? But I’ll be digging through the DVR for RHONJ anyway, like a crackhead digging through the carpet for rocks. Oh well. The first step is admitting I’m powerless over my addiction, or some shit.
P.S. Hi TT, I just found this site for the first time a couple weeks ago. It’s awesome. Can’t believe I’ve been missing out all this time.
Everyone has said what I was thinking, I read all the following comments too.
Amanda, One correction. You write, “hideous bag of beef jerky”
You statement makes sense but “hag” reads much better than “bag”. ?
Actually no it doesn’t.
Thank you TT for reporting this. I choose to live under a rock so I had no idea.
Will be reading your recaps but cannot watch the show. Just too much evil.
But since you mentioned it, I will take a gander at Ladies of London. I am an anglophile.
Even Teresa & Joe made homophobic slurs. They were questioned & let go, & Andy worships the ground they walk upon! Besides, as hard as Danielle begged to get back on this show, “I WANT TO COME BACK HOME TO HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY WHERE I BELONG!” So, now she’s home!
I gave up on RHONJ when it become Felons by Bravo. Give me Ladies of London and the Auckland ladies any day. I do hope they are making a new Aukland series as I watched the first season earlier in the year.
Danielle is a vile garbage-person, but please don’t stripper (or even sex-worker) shame! ;). In addition to being friends with a very sweet pro dominatrix–fave line: “have to go. I’ve got an appointment to whip some old man tonight”–back in the day, I met some very decent people during my 9-month waitressing gig at an NYC strip club. OK, some of the dancers were definitely, uh, Troubled, but others were straight, intelligent, and well-educated.
Two co-workers I became particularly tight with were a Rutgers comp-religion major who danced to pay her tuition, and an underpaid Madison Ave chick who did shifts as a club masseuse to make her rent (we even had a sorta ti**y-bar Algonquin Round Table with an obese, tragically self-destructive genius who’d order bottles of Moet so we could sit and chat about books, history, computer networking, etc*). The masseuse even gave me shopping bags filled with Office Interview outfits she claimed were “too conservative” for her fashion job (my personal wardrobe must have appalled her)–an act of kindness that almost certainly helped me find a scholarly publishing job right when the sleazy Wall St brokers and Troubled dancers were becoming too much to bear.
tl;dr–where DS is concerned, blame her for being a trash-human, and maybe blame the coke abuse. Even addicts who stop often go on acting like white-powder sociopaths.
*Sadly, the Rutgers dancer ended up falling in love with the obese, self-destructive genius. Of course, it did not end well, but it would have made a great 90s indy movie.
The whole story you just told sounds like a movie more than reality, Those are characters from a script not real life human beings. You have a vivid imagination.
