So....what did Danielle do to Dina? Try to sleep with her husband?
I was thinking more along the lines of threatening to kill her or her daughter. IDK. I must find out. The suspense was and still is killing me.

I think so too... The look on her face and the pitch her voice hit was hilarious!

oh heck yeah. none of them were ever really MAD until Danielle talked to Teresa as if she was stupid. Danielle even looked kinda shocked when tables started flipping.

and don't think for a second that Danielle didn't tell the producers about her past during casting. Why else would they put her on the show? She wasn't friends with any of them and that story Jacqueline told about meeting Danielle at the salon and talking about being a single mom for 3 hours sounded like a crock. It was a convenient way for the producers to introduce her into the story arc of Dina/Caroline/Jacqueline.

I think I found out what Danielle did:

quote:

I heard from New Jersey gossip floating around that Danielle gave Dina's ex-husband phone numbers to contact the authorities to report child abuse because she was alleging that Dina was abusing Lexi. However, the claims were dismissed as soon as they were brought up.
That's why Caroline said that she wouldn't say what "it" was because Dina asked her too, because she didn't want to re-hatch something that Dina was no doubt mortified about and wanted to forget, even though it wasn't true.

Well, Teresa isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer...

That said, these reunion shows have made me like Dina a lot more, and confirmed my belief that Caroline is awesome.

But yeah, there is A LOT of stuff that was not spoken that has me asking, WTF?

Wow. If that's the case, that it very, very evil of her, and Dina would have been more than in the clear if she were to punch her in the count for that shite.

Yeah. I originally thought she tried to sleep with her husband. But calling the authorities and lying that she was abusing her daughter (as we've seen Dina has a fantastic relationship with Lexi) is about as low as someone can go.

oh, no doubt. she isn't very smart but it was rude for her to talk to her like that at the dinner party she and her husband were hosting. just no need for it.

i also love how danielle acted as if she didn't think a fight would come of her bringing that book to the dinner party. seriously?? just some "words". she had every intention of that stuff happening. shes psycho.

i know. i wonder if they are coming back for another show. seems their drama was VERY real and idk...a lot of stuff on their show just seemed somewhat sketchy.

agreed. that is lower than low. if anything, danielle abuses her children by letting them see and hear all that stuff about her. she is scum and a horrible mother. i love how she was talking about having lots of "fans" out there. really? where?

100% agree. It seems Dina and Caroline are the only two moms on that freeking show that have normalized relationships with their children. Teresa just is over the top with her kids, Jacqueline has a very bad attitude teen that she can't deal with, and Danielle..well, thats obvious.

But Caroline is so genuine about the love for her family and children, as is Dina. I think Dina is a little goofy but its so obvious that she adores her daughter.

I read on a blog somewhere that the original concept was Dina/Tommy, Caroline/Albie, and Jacqueline/Cris and it was more about the Caroline/Dina/Cris side of the family and less about the Manzo/Brownstone reception Hall side of the family. That is why Tommy wasn't on the show, he didn't want the publicity. Dina was known by the production company from her appearance on a VH1 show about over the top weddings. Her wedding to Tommy allegedly cost $2mm

They cast Theresa on Dina's recommendation, and supposedly they found Danielle when word got out in Franklin Lakes they were casting the show. Dina was supposed to be the original "bad girl" on the show but she was worried about that affecting her charity, so they cast Danielle.

Not sure how much of this is true and I can't find the link to the blog anymore

She has minions on her Bravo blog. She probably has a separate blog out there now, and I wouldn't be surprise if she's tweeting about her book as we speak.

I really wish she would have been called out more for her nonsense. Especially the comments about her "fans" willing to do things for her

She also avoided questions about the book again. Clearly there is more truth besides she was arrested. And my god it is so obvious that she's had tons of plastic surgery since the show was over.

i laughed when caroline said her father in law wasn't in the mob and his murder is an unsolved mystery.

quote:

Their father-in-law, Albert (Tiny) Manzo, was executed mob-style in August 1983, after he and Gambino family soldier Peter A. Campisi were suspected of skimming from a mob casino on Staten Island.
"A couple of weeks later, they found Tiny Manzo in the trunk of his car," recalled Robert Buccino, a New Jersey organized crime expert.
The 350-pound mobster took four slugs to his torso. His naked body - the arms and legs bound in plastic - was discovered in the trunk of his parked Lincoln-Continental outside a supermarket in Hillside, N.J.
The killing was never solved.
Campisi, a made man and Tiny's partner in the casino, suffered a similar fate, Buccino recalled.
The colorful Manzo, who ran for mayor of Paterson in 1974, also owned the Brownstone Restaurant - one of the main backdrops for action in "Housewives."


I also laughed when Danielle said the only work she has ever had done was here lips and her tits

She's such an idiot to think that anyone actually believes that.

I haven't watched the 2nd part of the reunion yet

She's delusional, among other things. She may or may not be a pathological liar, because she may actually believe the things that she's saying. I used to have a housemate who had similar issues...

My girlfriend observed that Danielle's responses were as if she had been coached by her attorney at times, while at other times they were as if she were regurgitating something that her therapist told her. I really hope that she's seeing a therapist (among other things) because to me it's quite clear that she has some things wrong in her head.

That, and she looks like a drag queen. Actually, some of the queens that we saw at a fundraiser over the weekend look better than her.

I thought the same things. I also thought she may have taken some downers of some sort before the show. She was wayyyy too relaxed.

One thing I noticed. It seems when she lies she messes with her shoes.
