Good Friends Are Hard to Find

Danielle talks about her falling out with Kim G., and calls out Jacqueline for "playing innocent."

August 2, 2010

 

This week's episode, as always there was very little I care to address except maybe to point out for ____(who?) saying that I in any way could be responsible for her relationship with anyone is absurd to say the least. But, specifically to say I have anything to do with her not having a relationship with Caroline is completely and utterly out of line, and untrue. As she pointed out in episode 1, and I quote, "I am not friends with Caroline Manzo, I am friends with you Danielle." My point here is, your sons have been friends for most of their lives. And yet, you don't have a relationship, didn't have one then, didn't have one now. So it didn't have anything to do with me then, and guess what? It still doesn't. Get a life, stop meddling in my business. Stop using my name. Stop saying you are a good friend, because I have good friends, and they certainly don't behave like you do. Stop running from one side to the other because without me, nobody would care what you have to say. As I would think even "the others" would agree on this one, without me nobody would care about you anyway. Jacqueline used you to get information about what I was doing in my life. Just as she used me in season 1 to make herself feel and look better for whatever reason, to her own family. When she is done with you, she will dispose of you just like she did to me. Maybe even sooner. Oh, look at that, your time is up already. Buh bye- _____ (who?)

And Jacqueline, nice try in trying to make the world think you are innocent in any of this. Let me break it down for you; you knew she was hanging out with me and you kept her around ONLY because she was hanging out with me, which in essence makes you the biggest instigator of them all. Nice try though, Jacqueline. You are becoming very sloppy with your obsession with me. Clean it up, girl.

Teresa, and the others, stop saying Dina can't be around because of me. I'm not around any of you, so did you think maybe perhaps Dina doesn't want to be around you? The only time I was around was when you were chasing me through a country club because I said your house was in foreclosure. Oh look, it is! I might have to stop there because as we all know, they are deep in the mud, and I don't want to go any further so I will now draw attention to the blessings in my life, which are FAR more important to me.

Don't let them be mean to you! You are so much better! I feelt so bad for you when I watch you on tv. nobody should be treath like that! Have a nice life! And I'm your biggest FAN!:D Hugs from Adela( 20) from Norway! Take care

Wow, I so agree with the posts on 8/10/10 regarding Kim G. Have you ever heard of a social climber? Who is this woman anyway? She really has a way of using people and twisting the truth from what we see on air. She reminds me of some HIgh School girls and that's surprising for her age. She is very pretty, but under that, is an ugly, foul mouthed personality. Another one who, if not already, needs a lot counseling. Hopefully, the rest of her neighborhood will be forwarned.

Danielle, I have to admit that there would be no show without you but I'm not sure if that is a good thing, or a bad thing. Your constant need for affirmation falls a bit on the immature side, and you're what almost 50? You would do yourself a favor, as far as the show, to project a more positive, mature side of yourself. In some situations, you are coming across "petty." Absolutely cut out any communications from the Manzo group. Both sides of this story are absolutely becoming childish. Your as much to blame for the situations you keep finding yourself in as anyone.

I agree completely, Danielle you should go your own way and forget the manzos their just people just like you, treat them like they don't exist, pay more attention to your own happiness and your children, and daughter is absouletly fab, she will be a wonderful model focus on that aspect for starters. good blessing to you

Danielle,

to put it to you in a ghetto way that you'll comprehend:

You so darn MESSY, guuurrrll!

YOU'RE AWESOME DANIELLE!!!!
KEEP YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH!
" And this too shall pass away!

Danielle,
I must admit that you are a very intelligent woman. I am also impressed with your growth over the past season. Remember to keep God first and he will make your enemies your foot stool. Oh, and stay a lady. The other "girls" have so much to be ashamed of but you consistently conducted yourself with class!

Kim G was not your friend let her go she is not worth the pain of being her friend .

DANIELLE I MUST SAY WITHOUT YOU THAT SHOW WOULD NOT BE WORTH WATCHING, THAT IS MY OPINION. YOU GO GIRLLLLLLLLLL!
,

Danielle. You are actually, no matter what anyone says to me, a role model. Your a strong woman and no matter what gets thrown at you, you deal with it. I understand how hard it must be to ba single mom..because my mom is too. You do what you have to do to prptect your rep. and your children. You dont have to deal with those people. They are so immature little high schoolers. Im 14 and I am more mature then they are.

I dislike all the characters this year except for you Danielle! You're not perfect, but you obviously have had enough done to you in your life that you know how to handle these women. You can see right through them. I can too! I was fooled for a long time, but this year's show showed me their true colors. The only episode I felt uneasy watching you, Danielle, was when you were pole dancing. Way over the top! You're sexy for sure, but that moment should have been cut. It did nothing but fuel hatred towards you by the haters!

Anyway, I found my birth mother and siblings this year. BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE ARE HAPPENING NOW! We've had an incredible reunion and are still going strong. This weekend coming up I will be meeting my birth father's side of the family (he died). So happy!

i honestly think that you are always trying to play the victim & you are always trying to act so tough when your around your friends, but when being confronted your always so read to cry. i honestly think that teresa is the nicest, sweetest, funniest and real one.

Are you serious when you say that about Theresa? She is the biggest hypocryte and gutter mouthed person on the show. She thinks she is so cute when throwing those temper tantrums of hers when in fact it only shows her immaturity and anger issues. Theresa has no class at all. And yeah, Dannielle is not perfect, but she sure has more class than Theresa.

Your daughter never said Teresa was telling everyone about you looking for your birth mother, she said she was there at the salon when it was being talked about. Look at the tape and your daughter's face when you started ranting about Teresa. She knew you picked up what she said the wrong way regarding Teresa, but you got up and stormed out to call your thug friend, Danny. Do you really expect him and his friends to resort to physical harm to any of these women? What was he thinking when he asked you, "How do you want to handle this?" any thing you want he would do. This whole thing sounds like something out of a Mafia movie. Please..............get real

TEAM DANIELLE.....GOOD LUCK AND BLESSING IN EVERYTHING YOU DO GIRLY

Good luck to you girl!!! keep your head held high!!!

Danielle,

I love Kim G!!! She is classy for a woman her age. She is charming, funny, and intelligent. She tries to please people. She emotionally supports people, BUT is not afraid to tell them off when they are in the wrong.

Kim G. is a true friend to anyone and everyone. She tries not to play favorites. She sees both sides to an issue. She has the right to talk about others behind their back. EVERYBODY talks about others behind their backs at one time or another, whether you want to believe that or not.

buh bye....please so old. If you want to stay trendy you need to stop with the old...

If Danielle was not on the show, I don't know how this show would of go probably very boring. Hands down Danielle makes this show very interesting to watch. In a serious note, girl you need a whole kind of friends, those people don't have respect for themselves; from teresa to kim g they make chaos in public like it's a good thing. KIM G wants to be on the show, so she's picking a fight with Danielle to have her 15 minutes of fame. Nobody is buying it KIm you are a two-face. she kiss caroline ass too much.

Did it ever occur to you that YOU could be the problem? Every friend you have seems to hate you, did it ever make you wonder that maybe its because you're not a good friend to begin with? You are so full of yourself! You talk about Teresa going into foreclosure yet you can't even afford to fix your broken down house...?? Did it ever occur to you that you might hit a sore note with your viewers by making fun of someone going into foreclosure when millions of other people are going through the same thing...??? It's a recession Danielle, pay attention please! Teresa could finacially lose everything but she will always be rich emotionally by Joe and her children, what about you? When I watch your show all I can see in your eldest daughter's eyes is that she's counting the days until she's old enough to move out and away. I stopped watching the show because it focused too much on you and your criminal friends until I heard Kim G. told you off, then I had to go back and watch that episode...lol!!!

lol your post was too funny! Isn't Danielle MESSY!

Well all I have to say is I agree with others you get blamed for all the drama but alot of it starts with alot of the other women first, hair pulling, table throwing, chasing you , calling you names in public and so on. these women should learn how to act like adult women with some class. they came looking for a fight not you. Put all your effort and love into your children and forget the trash from the past . as far as Kim G she is a very two faced person who just wanted her 15 minutes of fame on tv. she has alot of nerve calling you a bad friend man now that is really calling the kettle black. she is soooooooooo not worth it and very non classy person. what a trashy mouth she had.

If Danielle hand't brought the book, that dinner would have been fine... She seems to think that everyone owes her. Yes, everyone has a past, but the situation on her part could have been handled in a more mature way, i.e. meeting the girls and having a talk about it and let everyone say their peace. No one deserves to have their hair pulled. But come on!!! Blubbering like a baby? Danielle is always showing up wherever the other girls are at. They all say it. If you don't want anything to do with them, then why keep going around them?!

danielle rightfully gets blamed a lot. one has to be so careful how they speak to her because she is waiting to pounce on anything she can.

although i do think she is a total drama queen, i will stand up for her regarding what ashley did. also, teresa was the instigator in this case. i like her, but she can't keep saying she is a good person and then running after danielle. that is just nonsense.

getting back to ashley, i don't know if she was told that danielle had hurt her mother or not. if she was told this, the person she should have run to was her mother to see if she was ok. but no. she ran to danielle and assaulted her. furthermore, she never has shown remorse for it, and i even think she sort of thinks what she did was cool. caroline was wrong to say that what ashley did was wrong, but she did it for the right reason. sorry, violence is never the answer. if danielle had tried to assault ashley or had assaulted ashley, then ashley would have every right to defend herself. but that wasn't the case, and i am upset that caroline would ever think that violence was the answer to anything, even regarding family. so, i will stand up for danielle in this instance.

i don't like her friend, danny, the wannabe gangster. i don't like that she used the hell's angels to try to intimidate the manzo family at a charity event. if she has changed from the way she was 20 yrs ago, i'd like to see it. there is still a criminal element there, and it's not pretty. did she think that dina had hired hitmen to put a hit out on danielle the last time they met? why did she need all those people in the parking lot watching dina? how ridiculous was that?

did she think it was appropriate to bring danny and some hell's angels to a charity event? all they did was disrupt, and swear. if this is what danielle hangs around, why would anyone think she has really changed? she also acted like a primadone at kim d's store because the woman at the front desk was on the phone, and let danielle know that she knew she was there and would be with her shortly. that wasn't good enough for danielle. if anyone was rude, it was danielle, who acted like a spoiled child. i could go on and on, but this would turn into a book.

Let Kim G go. She wasn't right to not be honest about her relationships. she is obviously trying to get on camera. You can tell that her actions are not honest. Her own son doesn't seem to want to be bothered with her. I didn't understand why she just blew up at you. I was thinking that it could have been the person she was going to get to help you find your mom, who mentioned that to outside people. Who knows. Anyway, just stay away from her and live your own life.

No words can describe how ridiculous Kim G has been. Clearly, she was a friend of convenience. She overreacted to a trivial email and your calm confrontation that she leaked your search to T. If that wasn't the case, she could have denied it, but she let T take the blame for that one.

As two faced as she's been, one lesson is, that if she will do it to you, she will do it to others. It is whatever is beneficial to her at the time. As a social climber, craving air time, that was bound to happen sooner or later…I mean, her history was to be aired and come up and bite her in the a**. Did she really think it was going to go down any other way? To me, it all seems so above and beyond orchestrated. I mean, how did she think you were going to react? She knew you would not be happy when you would find out she was filming with J. She kept that detail hush, hush…And why??? Because she’s a rat fink! What a stinker!

What shocked me was how she behaved towards you when you confronted her. It was like a repeat of how T was to you in the past. Monkey see, Monkey do. You reacted civilized and she was crazed. How bizarre was that? You did nothing to provoke that insanity!

You exposed her for who she really is, and she was not equipped to handle it, so lashed out in an attempt to turn the tables on you, but it back fired big time. She looked foolish and came off like a childish imp having a temper tantrum. She seriously needed a time-out!

She could have admitted it or denied it or something, if she valued your friendship at all, and made some sort of peace with you. To react as she did, revealed she is, and perhaps always has been a user, phony and extremely insincere.

At first, I thought she was sincere to you. But as the episodes aired, it was clear what she was about.

On another note, when friends do things for each other, that’s just what they do. They don’t do it to throw it up in your face when it suits them. Does she think she deserves a medal? Does that make her a real friend and good friend?

When people turn on you like that, it’s never their intention to have had your best interests at heart. It’s a game to her. She thinks she is in the right and justified. Sad, twisted and a schemer…

She will ride on anyone’s coat tails…if they let her. She’s old…news.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I haven't commented on a TV blog in a log time;but, the episode with Kim G. exploding on you brought me back to the "comment" section. Not that I always agree with your perspective of situations, but Kim G. exploding on you was such an obvious defensive trick in trying to cover up her duplicity that probably occurs with many of her relationships. Finally, she showed her true colors/personality to you. I'm sure by now after reviewing the shows EVERYONE involved with Kim G. should just stay away from this attention-grabbing, neurotic woman. She shows no remorse with manipulating all of the Housewive of New Jersey. With her screeching bad behavior at the restaurant-good riddance! Also, I am a bit confused by Dina's comments that she "gave you another chance" when her purpose (in setting up the meeting at the restaurant) was to officially break off her relationship with you. Considering her purpose, how is that giving you another chance to prove that "you had changed?" You are human with feelings.......how did she expect anyone to respond to such a blunt expressions of her feelings? On a lighter note, may I commend you on raising two beautiful accomplished daughters. Kudos to you!

Well, Danielle, no one can walk in your shoes.I don't understand why all the finger pointing, name calling, and drama falls on your shoulders. Certainly, I do not see it that way. Rarely have I heard you call people names and especially in comparison to what you have been called by a large group of "people" ... let's just call them "pigs". Drama? Somebodies need a mirror because from what I've seen there has been more drama coming from "the other side", i.e., table throwing, chasing, hair pulling, let's meet so I can rip you apart, and as you know, the list goes on.

Given the circumstances, I've found you to be well composed.

Your children are Adorable. And, Danielle, you shall know them by their fruits. Maybe you should pass that along to Jaquelin and Teresa. Quite honestly, and it has nothing to do with supporting you, Teresa's kids are the most obnoxious, spoiled, and annoying brats I've ever witnessed. Ditto to Jaquelin's daughter, can't even think of her name. Truly, watching them is offensive and makes me want to turn off the show.Maybe boot camp would do them good.

Best wishes, Danielle, I enjoying watching the show and your song was absolutely beautiful.

I have been watching you since day one, and you get it girl. I love you're spunk, drive, and determination because despite that heart hand you were dealt in this life you push through it and do what you need to do in order to bring success into your children as well as you're life. Fuck all these haters below me there just jealous cause you are gorgeous smart and determined =]

THIS WAS MY FAVORITE EPISODE..........

Stay strong Danielle. I know you are trying to be a better person and want to do right by your kids. You raised good kids, I can tell by the way they are and how they respond to you. I like the show best when it's you spending time with your kids, not all of the drama displayed with the other housewives. I think you should continue to focus on your children, they are sweethearts.
Peace.

Danielle you are a wonderful and caring person who have two of the most beautiful daughters on the show,so please, please do not mention any of the other housewives on this blog in fact don't even mention anything about Joe's accident on this blog in fact mind your business

I believe that most of your drama is self inflicted. Drama is all around you, no matter where you go. Let it go already. Your girls need you. You can see it in their eyes, their voices and in their comments. They are both very intelligent. Maybe you should take advise from them instead of your convict friends. I became hooked on watching the show because of the book "A cop without a badge". I read the entire thing in 1.5 days. I couldn't put it down. In their you were mentioned and did some not so good things. You were given a break and were forgiven why are you doing this to Ashley? How would you feel if it was Christine that did this to someone? You say you are godly but the bible states to love your enemies and to turn the other cheek. Let it go already.

I agree, all they ever hear is Theresa this and Theresa that. And Danielle does need to stop with the Ashley thing. Let it go!!!!! Move or something. Stop putting yourself where they just happen to be!

Danielle,
I would just like to say that I love love love you! You handle yourself like a lady when you are confronted now, and I can definitely see a big change in the way you have an outlook on life. I believe that you deserved compensation in the Ashley fight. She had no right to touch another human being and is completely out of control and out of line. I think your daughters are amazing and are true testaments to you as a parent. They are grounded and making her birthday take a back seat to a charity was an excellent idea!!!
Keep your head up!
-K

The more I watch reruns of the hair pulling episode it was Teresa that was at fault. She was looking for a fight and wasn't satisfied to just say hello and leave it at that. The 2 Kims are some of the most two faced women I have ever seen. Even though I am not a Daniele fan those 3 ladies were in the wrong and they need to own it.

Daniele if you really want to change do not say anything negative and that will put you on top..as long as you mean it. It comes down to just being true!

Hey Bravo,

I think you should give Kim G. her own blog. I'm sure some of us have alot to say to her. Like get a new stylist.

Danielle, My heart goes out to you honey. Both Kim's have motives and it has nothing to do with befriending any of the housewives, but just to get signed on themselves to BE a "housewife" period. Pretending to be your friend was decietful and I see why you would trust and like her so much because I did too until I saw her going back and forth between the girls in no way sticking up for yyou or defending you. You took the high road on the day of confrontation and Kim made a fool of herself and I am certain that not too many of us like her now. People who are wrong like she was turn things around on you as if it were you who were not being loyal blah blah blah...it was only for audience sake. What she had forgotten is this is all being taped and her lies are being shown to the world.

On your search for your mother I wish you all the luck in the world. I myself have a missing sister and would hate it if my mother would be the one you are looking for because she was not a nice person. She gave away both of my siblings and would never tell me anything at all if my eldest would find her. The only reason my younger sister got to meet me was because my grandmother was still alive. As you know people pretend to be things they aren't.

You have two beautiful talented little women, and am happy to see that you have found some genuine people in your circle like Laurie. Danny wants more than you may want to give him, but I am sure you know that too. He is another who loves the spotlight and while he has been there for you....ask yourself if he would be there if you weren't being filmed and he knew there were no chance to hop in the sack with him. Be careful honey. You want to be loved so badly that I understand why you may not see things as they are. Wish we lived closer because I would be your friend....being friends means being able to express when something is wrong or bothers you though....it isn't an attack....its just that each of us has feelings just as you do. Love and Hugs! PS Stay away from these snobs, they don't deserve someone like you anyway....especially the italian cookbook goddess who slipped two episodes ago that she doesn't know how to make a simple pizza!

Danielle, to start i would love to say that this weeks episode had my favorite scene featuring you. I loved when you were with your daughter in the clinic. I think it is quite hilarious how you are obsessed with the other women. Jaqueline is not out to get you, i'm pretty sure it's the other way around. You never had proof that it was Teresa who said anything about your search for your birth mom (which go you, i am adopted, and im looking for my dad). I just wish you would let the drama go, and try and have fun and raise your beautiful daughters, and let things go!

Danielle,

I will fully admit I was not a fan of yours after the first season but I now see you in a different light. I think you have went through a lot in your life and are still struggling with emotional issues from your childhood. Despite your jaded past, I think you are a loving person and seek love from people in your life. I felt so bad when Kim G. talked smack about you to the other ladies and was waiting for you to finally find out so you could end what you thought was a friendship. If anything, Kim G. completely used YOU to get in good with the other ladies. Kim G. had the nerve to say you used her? If Kim G. did not want you to use her driver or help your children, she should have spoken up.

I applaud the way you handled yourself when Kim G. showed her true colours in the restaurant. You were so calm and collected. Don't let anything Kim G. said to you affect your endeavors to find your real mother and who you are as a person.

I am happy you have Danny as a friend. He is always there for you and I believe you felt safe and secure when he was waiting for you at Portobello's. Give that man a hug!

Jacqueline is crazy for associating with Kim G. Who the heck would trust anyone like that?

I agree with Boston Mama, shelter your moods in the company of your daughters. I am glad you removed yourself from the table and talked to Danny outside but you snapped at Jillian. She was only trying to offer a different perspective. I know you were upset but remember your daugthers are only trying to help you.

Stay strong Danielle!

Danielle, I really feel sorry for you. You need some help girl..with all that money that you're making from the show instead of changing your outside, why don't you shoot for the inside. Honestly, do you watch yourself on this show.
It's obvious that your little girls have that look of fear in their eyes everytime you go on a rampage. I think you are hurt over your friendship with Jacqueline so now you are seeking revenge on her daughter. Shame On YOU!!!!

Hi, Danielle!
How is our favorite Jersey girl? More about you ...

Daring
Awesome
Nice
Influential
Elemental
Lucky
Legendary
Electricity!

YA GOTTA LOVE DANIELLE!

Danielle, you are fierce and vulnerable. You have a good head on your shoulders and a good heart. It takes time to turn your life around. It's disheartening to see some of the hateful comments that are on your blog, but at least you're brave enough to post them. I've enjoyed watching you more than anyone on any Housewives program. Most of the other people on the show seem pretty affected and fake, like they're posturing for the camera. And so hypocritical. Whatever! You have a lot of support, a lot of people see and understand what you're going through. You're stronger than the mean, pettiness that infects some people. God will see you through everything. You're a great mom, and your family is absolutely precious. You are rebuilding your life, but the others seem to be tearing their own lives down. Maybe that's why they're so envious. Pray for these people, and keep living for a better future. Love always! You're awesome, sweetie!

Danielle ,
How can you say Kim was your best friend; you just met her at the luncheon.
The only thing you knew about this woman was she is rich
and Coraline's son and her son are friends.
Kim did bring up a valid point, just because you don't like the other women why would you think that Kim would start disliking them.
Kim is an adult,

Danielle. I dont understand your attitude. You are running into drama... you say your running away from it, but clearly your not. You cause the drama. Let the other housewives live their lives. I understand its hard, but in the end it will not only help them, but also help you. So please grow up and stop running into their lives.

Also, watch out for Kim she is two faced. You don't need her in your life and the other ladies don't need her either. She instantly changes her attitude. The one night when you got attacked.... as soon as she got out of the car she was super nice to Jacqueline. Saying how shes right and blah blah blah. Dont get me wrong. but let her be. Shes just wants to be on the show, so she knew she could get it by being your "friend"

Hi Danielle:

Do you remember in your last episode saying how Kim G knows your exhusband? Now let's go back one season whereby you brought your exhusband's book to a formal dinner party with the ladies? Remember the big to-do that was made over the book? There was a lot of finger-pointing going on at the table before Theresa flipped the it--No? What is to say that Kim G approached the ladies about the book in last season BEFORE that table flipping incident and tattled about something she knew of it to the other women? Now, was it not Kim G who tattled your business of you finding your real mother to one of the other women? Of course it was. Now, who is scrambling to get in good with the other women? Enough said.

Danielle,

I'm so glad you finally see Kim G for what she really is! She is just trying to be on the show, and really showed her true colors! I hate that she made the comments as you were getting in the car. How immature. I guess you can be the most wealthy person in the world but no amount of money can buy class. She is doing you a favor, why would you want to be seen with a 65yr old, who is trying to dress like she is 30. She better hope she doesn't hurt something in those Christian Louboutin shoes! Love ya Danielle!!!!

Danielle,

Your girls are beautiful. I don't know if you already allowed your girls to get the Gardisil vaccine that you discussed with your doctor on the show; however, please know the risks before you give consent. There have been thousands of side effects and many deaths from this fast-tracked vaccine. The long-term side effects are also not known. I included a link for a video from the The National Vaccine Information Center. There is also more information about this vaccine on the site along with other vaccinations.

www.nvic.org/NVIC-Vaccine-News/July-2009/Preventing-Gardasil-Vaccine-Inj...

Danielle, I'm sure you understand that in all this drama you are the cause of the domino effect. Kim G was not your friend or is in anyway shape or form the others friend either. I think Caroline has the right attitude when it comes to you and Kim G. Keep it away! If you had people calling you telling you that Teresea and Jacqueline were going to the Fashion Show you should of stayed away especially because Kim D had already showed you she wasn't really your friend. But, lets face it you wanted to see them and see what else you could say about them. Going back to Kim G she is really a two face. Everybody knows you can't be close friends to two enemies you have to pick a side and be loyal to the one. If you want to be nuetral you can't talk about either or sides. I would be furious too if she had revealed anything about me to my enemies. That's a no no. Shame on Kim G!
