Love Me or Hate Me

Danielle responds to accusations from her castmates.

May 19, 2009

Teresa's house is beautiful - I think everyone would agree with that! You gotta hand it to her - the girl's got taste!

CJ's birthday party was a ton of work for Jacqueline and I know she wanted it to be perfect for her little boy. I wanted to make sure she did not have to worry about any conflict between family and friends (me). I wanted to get any negativity out of the way right out of the gate (literally) and I was only hoping for a resolution. Period.

I get nervous when I approach people that clearly hate me, but I did this for the right reasons and sometimes my nervousness comes across as too much and people judge me harshly for that, but the ones who judge me haven't taken the time to really get to know me.

My heart is always open to new friendships and love. I never knew being one of an open heart and putting myself out there could be misunderstood and twisted in this way. I now know why people always tell me to trust no one and warn me not to reveal anything about myself, however, I feel it's better to be open and get hurt than it is shut myself off from new people and new experiences. More simply put, "Better to have loved and love than to have never loved at all." I think to stop learning is to stop living. Maybe that is why I am always in the line of fire...I am still learning from life. There are no mistakes, only experiences.

so..you're the only one honey

you're the worst and a liar to boot..enough said

to BRAVO..most of my posts don't..what's up with that?

Danielle,
Last season you so bravely defended the gay community with Teresa's husband comment. How come you didnt speak up when your friend, Danny, called Chris a faggot? Faggot is a derogatory word that is completely disrespectful even if it is not applied directly to a gay man. Does it not count if it comes from your friend?

Danny Dear, I felt sorry for u last season. I thought u were being judged harshly for the past. I've come to realize u are somewhat demented. Your looking for friendship with women who have no respect for u. They think u are dishonest and cheap. Why are u still tryng with them. If u had any respect for yourself u would move on. Dannny get a job. Seems like now your going to use your daughters modeling career as your source of income now. Its sad. I think u have very low self esteem. You could posibly get into personal training someone or something to do with dance. Basically get a life Danny.

Hey Danielle, Listen I could be your sister and please stop hanging with all these want-a-bees. All of them came from nothing and I don't care how much money they have because it shows-no class. Please get rid of the 2 face people in your life and get some true down to earth. Money isn't everything.Don't listen what anyone has to say to u because they don't pay your bills-right? The show is a joke with low class women who try and ask like there all that and perfect. So go on and find a down to earth like with true caring people and have a happy life. Do u want to end up like them with the real prize husbands they have? There are alot of good women who are for real so 1 day hope to meet u and tell u there is a whole real life out there. Your older sister-please listen Your buddy-

Danielle,Hi. I need to tell you that you are a wonderful person and very strong women.Stay this way,becouse it is so meny people who like to talk bad thing about you ,do not listen and do not take it inside,remember that this people just do not know what to do with there time,so they just spill dert on others.And you know that by pointing at you they show who they realy are--just fake and you are real who had so meny heartships in your life and came out from all of it as a carring and loving person.stay positive and I am very happy to find out that you are busy writing a book.Your fiend that you do not know Natalya Marchelli

Danielle

Don't worry about whatever anyone has to say about u. Stay Strong. People just dont have anything better to do than to talk about others when people stand up for someone they r just doing it because there on TV. You know who your real friends r. Just be happy of who u r. If i was there i would of stuck up for u.

Karen

Make your mantra..."So be it". Embrace your beautiful daughters and live your best life. Start to keep a private journal. Start each day with a positive thought and live it. Reflect each night on how your day went. Be kind to yourself. Thank you. L.

daniella move on
you are women thats been deeply hurt i hope and pray that you get to know God he is the one that can love you with a true love
and i hope you meet a man that that will just love you for you not your body
you are worth so much dont give yourself to men and i iam a men
men are pigs well alot of them take good care
and the other girls need to grow up and help you this is not high school anny more !!!

DANIELLE:
You are an honest lady whom I respect very much. I believe that no one is perfect. Everybody makes mistakes. Some did more at young age. Anyhow, there is no point for any one of other housewives to attack you about something you did in the past especially well over two decades. I have sympathy for your situation as a young girl without parent's guidance and such thing happened to you while you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Jacqueline is a nice woman. I also like her very much. Dina and Carolina are evil bitches and they should be cut out of your life. Danielle, stay strong, you still look very attractive and healthy. I hope besides taking good care of yourself and your children, you should also consider taking up a career. You were a model in the past. With your previous experience in front of the camera, you may consider looking for a job in entertainment business such as radio show host, TV game show host as a beginning before moving onto some serious stuff. I would like to see you more on TV. I need to stess that everyone deserves second chance. You definitely deserve an opportunity to start a new life for your family. You also deserve true love. Please stop phone sex. You never know what kind of man on the other side of the phone line. What happen if that man is a psycho, a crook or an accomplice of your ex-husband.

I wish you well, Danielle, and I hope your friendship with Jacqueline can last.

Good luck!!!!

Danielle,

Thank you for standing up to Theresa's husband. His homophobic comments were unacceptable and you seem to be the only person on the cast that cared enough to speak up.

Bravo to you

Danielle, Here's the thing...If not for you, this group of women would NEVER have been picked to do this show.Individually, and as a group, they are just not interesting enough to merit a show of their own. And the blonde...I feel sorry for her. She is one of those people who is bound and determined to be unhappy, no matter what the situation. She needs help.

I only like you and Jacq... The other HW are petty, jelous and so hateful! they seriously need a life other than yours... They obviously focus and envy you... I hate them all with the exception of Jacq. what that hell is she doing w/ that family?

Just wondering what it is you do for a living? You have a beautiful home and your kids seem to want for nothing. What is your secret?

Danielle, except for Jacqueline I find all of you to be narcissistic, obnoxious and spoiled housewives who hold no loyalties to anyone but themselves. You are the most dysfunctional of all of them. Who in the heck has phone sex with online men and expect them to actually show up in person to a meet! Why don't you leave Jacqueline alone and stop trying to manipulate her. And no one HAS to come in and rescue you financially. If you don't have any money get a job. Did you ever stop to think of all the hard working NJ housewives who do work hard and get no tv credit for all the work they put in? NO?

Out of all of the HW's shows, I do not know why Bravo decided to do this one(New Jersey). I do not feel that any of the women except for Danielle have a personality either bad or good. The other women appear not to be very educated, unsophisticated, mean spirited and hateful. Why does Dina get on T.V. and acts as if she is better, considering she married her brother-in-law's brother give it a rest. I thought Orange County was bad, but this takes the cake. I will try and give it a chance but, if Bravo is going to give it another season, they should try a different approach please. I do not watch a lot of T.V. and I accidently started to watch New York which I love, Atlanta I like, Orange County o.k. but New Jersey I don’t know.

Thanks for reading, a loyal fan of Bravo.

Danielle,

I am curious why you put Jacqueline in the middle between you and her sister in law, Dina... If you want to have problem solved between you and Dina.. My sister and I have watch your show... You are one of a big drama on the show but you are honest...
If Dina don't want to do anything for you anymore or didn't invited you to be in her Ladies's Night out.. You should of give Dina some respect.. I don't want to see Jacqueline caught in a middle between you and Dina..

Thanks,
Desert City Girls

Danielle,

I love you! I've been watching the show since it first aired and you're by far my favorite! I myself want others to like me so badly, i will go out of my way to try and be-friend them. It made me so upset when you had opened up your house for a spa party and Dina and her sister were cackling and making rude comments about you. Even Jacqueline didn't stand up for you...I know what it's like to have a sister-in-law and a friend who do not get a long. And trust me, a true friend will stand up for you no matter what the connection is!

Danielle, I have watched every episode of the RHW and I must say you are by far the most honest of them all. However that could be a bad thing. You should focus on your kids as much as you do yourself. I'm also a recent divorcee and after the breakup of my 2nd marriage I decided to foucs on ME. I don't have kids just me and my dog. It's hard getting back on dating scene, I have not ventured to far into that scene just yet and not really looking forward to it. What I have been doing is taking care of me and that means body, mind and soul. You have the body foucs on the other two. I have become very picky about what I want out of my next relationship and maybe that's why I have not been on dating scene. If you have standards then don't compremise them for no one. For instance the young guy you're dating ???? what is that about? He doesn't seem like he's in your league. I don't know if he has money but from the looks of him I would guess NOT. Why waste your time and good looks with him he's a KID! You're a Goddess believe it.

Danielle, I'm confused, Dina obviously dosen't like you, so get over it!!!! Not everyone has to be friends. And when you said you need your divorce settlement so that you won't loose your house or loose all means to support your children, you would think that you wouldnt be throwing a spa party and paying for everyone's treatments just so they will like you. IF YOURE AS HARD UP FOR MONEY AS YOU SAY YOU ARE WE ALL KNOW WHY!!!! Quit spending money on yourself and stupid shit like trying to buy freinds and start supporting your girls. And as a mother I would NEVER say what you say about sex and your boyfriends on tv. Your girls must be so embarrased of you, my heart goes out to them. Start acting like a lady and a mother and put your kids before sex. It's not that hard, unless youre trying to turn them into tramps like you, i dont know. And as for you telling them you meet men online, NOT A GOOD IDEA!!! IT's very unsafe and if you do it your girls will think it's ok and it's not! Start using common sense honey, it'll do you good. And enough botox, your eyebrows look like youre scared all the time.

I HAVE WATCHED ALL VERSIONS OF HOUSEWIFES AND THERE IS ALWAYS 1 WHOSE THE "UNDERDOG"...AND THEY ALWAYS COME OUT ON TOP...DANIELLE YOU TOO WILL COME OUT ON TOP...SEEMS LIKE YOUR CAST MATES GOT A BAD CASE OF FINGER POINTING...
EVEN IF THINGS DID HAPPEN IN THE PAST,SO WHAT,IT'S THE PAST...I THINK A FEW OF THEM SHOULD BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THERE PRESENT SITUATIONS AND FEDS KICKING DOWN THERE DOOR...

Except for Jacqueline, I find the Manzo clan very dysfunctional. No decent Christian family would act the way they do, let alone air it. Obviously, the priest who appeared on the show condones their behavior. These Catholic priests nowadays!!!

And Danielle, if you want to be a tramp that's your right but what kind of mother would talk the way that you do on air, especially about oral sex? It was obvious by the look on your boy toy's face that he only liked you for one thing. I feel very sorry for your girls because of the embarrassment that you will cause them.

They should rename the show The Real Smut of NJ.

one word: Cougar!

I love all these shows! I can't wait to find out what happened to Beverly Merrill!

Danielle, you are the coolest chic on that show. Jacqueline is FAKE and not trustworthy so please be very careful with her. Dina is just a lucky bitch that married the RIGHT guy with the RIGHT amt of money. She is not worth your time. Stop being so nice to her! Caroline is OLDDER so i don't see why she's on that show?

I'm a male and love the show as does my girlfriend. I truly love all the drama and can't wait for the next episode. I hope everything works out in your favor and sometimes people have to go through some tough times to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have faith in your future and expect great things to happen to you and your family. All the best in trying to find that golden husband...i think you should look within yourself to get through all this and be a great role model to your girls.

Fan

Not that this will get posted.. I have tried 1 million times..

Danielle,
Why should someone come and save you.. Get off your butt and help yourself. You have 2 daughters to think about. You are setting a bad example for them. You are desperate and seem to think about sex all the time. The scene at the High Lawn was revolting. I go there all the time and will never be able to use the Ladies room again.

Maybe Chris will hire you to work in the strip club.. after all isn't that what your old job was.

I would much rather be known for being overly nice and uncautious than to be known for trying to sabatoge people.

Danielle, please quit trying to get Dina to like you. She only hates you because she knows you are a much more likeable person. Her sister-in-law would not be friends with her, if it were not for the family connection. I know you are loyal, but Jacqueline is not a trustworthy friend because she will not stand up to those shrews on your behalf. Another poster gave you some great advice about reading some books on females and relational styles with other females. I am a therapist, and reading to gain understanding about these issues is an important therapeutic step for you at this stage in your life. There are so many other women out there who would want to have a friend like you. A divorce is a trying time and often women find themselves mixed in with the wrong people. Experimentation is part of the deal; however, you have to learn when to move on(from men and women). The focus on your daughters is a good thing,establish strong bonds with them and teach them how to be in decent, strong, supportive friendships with other women.

So far you are the only person I could be friends with on your show. The rest are really nasty acting divas wannabes.

i love danielle, she's honest but nice at the same time. i think dina is such a hypocrite, its so obvious she does lip injections. she's not a girl's girl that's for sure!

I watched the show last night for the first time and have to say it made me depressed to think that in this day and age a woman like you would say she was waiting for man to come along and "take care of her and her children" as if she were incapable of doing it on her own. Having lived through a divorce and single motherhood myself I am so proud for having rebuilt our lives with my own two hands and feet. You totally underestimate yourself if you think you can't do it alone. If along the way you meet a wonderful man (as I was fortunate enough to do) then all the better. But having been through it I would NEVER place my or my children's future in the hands of someone else. Nor would I teach my daughters that they need a man to be complete.

I am not really crazy about how dirty she talks on the show. I't makes her look well, I don't think I have to say the words.

Danielle,

Please read a book about women, relationships, and how they use relational aggresion to tear other women apart for absolutely no reason. I myself am in your exact same shoes in a circle of females, just different ridiculously wealthy community, and different women hating for no reason. Find a therapist, not because you're weak or "need help", but because you need someone who will keep your innermost thoughts confidential. Its too bad that women that could BE so strong, influential, and accomplish so much spend their time ripping others apart. Truly a shame, classless, and a display of their complete lack of character. My suggestion to the other women: mature.

Anytime you need someone to talk to!! Stay away from those jersey jerks! New york has nice guys for you. I understand how you feel alot during the show. You are the hottest one on that show. dont forget that!

I thought you were coming off to strong and you were forcing something that wasn't there. I think you should of just said what you had to say about the issue and that you didnt want to fight with her and left it there and if she wanted to be friends with you then that was that and if she didnt then hey!!! Dont let anyone get you down.

Danielle,

I am so glad that a lot of the other viewers who have written comments have been mostly supportive. I feel the same way they do--I believe you are a good person and are doing the best you can. Whatever is in your past is your past, you can only learn from it and move on. If people choose not to like you because of something they heard about you, they aren't worth your time. You are not your mistakes--you are a human being trying to be the best you can be. You have to love yourself first and forgive yourself if you have messed up. If you hurt somebody, ask them to forgive you--if they don't, it's not your problem. Above all, seek God's forgiveness and His help because that's the only way you or I are ever going to make it.

Love you, God bless you!

Dearest Danielle, You are not doing the right thing. And you know it. It's not normal to be giving your kids that example. You're just teaching them to be insecure and think that all they have are their looks...right? Think about what you're teaching your girls...they watch and learn, remember that. Promiscuity is not what you want for them. Believe in yourself. You don't need a man to take care of you and your kids. You can do that yourself. You are kind of embarrassing us all with your behavior. But i know you will eventually understand what that means. I just hope it's not too late for you and your children to heal... I hope the show is paying you enough to put your kids through this.

You are the most honest of the housewives. Jacqueline is certainly a sweetheart, but does not always speak up. I think because you speak up, the others who are used to having the upper hand, get nervous.

I don't think there's anything wrong with hoping to be financially stable, especially for your kids. I think the other housewives are embarrassing themselves by saying you are always talking about $... it's clear they are comfortable with the support of their husbands. It's not unreasonable in this world to want some sort of financial stability, especially when you have children.

Hang in there!

Danielle you are WYSWIG . what yyou see is what you get . That is real as it gets these other women have secrets that is why they need to expose you to cover their own a2$%

Love you Daniella, The next time you have a Spa party invite some real friends.... Like me! I wish I had a friend that would be so nice to have a spa party and invite their own personal doctor and give free Cosmetic gifts. That was so nice and expensive and I would have been so grateful and appreciative for you being so thoughtful because some of us just dream of having cosmetic gifts because we can't afford that stuff. Those bitches were ugly to you in your house and in your face for such a wonderful party... Drop those girlfriends! And get you some New Ones........ And keep on being YOU!

Ok so I enjoy watching the Real Housewives, no matter what city is being showed. Danielle, I do think you have a big heart and I can respect your honesty with your daughters. The problem I see is that you care about what people think when honestly you shouldnt. People are going to say nasty things about others no matter what and that is life. As far as the situation between you and Dina, I think the two of you should just leave each other alone. There is no need to try to figure out why Dina says nasty things about you and there is no need for you to entertain anything. Leave it alone Danielle, you are better than that. You look amazing and keep on doing your thing girlfriend.

You look so cute in your Alice and Olivia pink polkadot dress....

You place too much emphasis on what people think about you and they will come around on their own time, if at all. It's hard being alone, but you do have your children who love you and looking at it in that aspect, you are not alone.

Seriously, I watched the episode tonight with my 11 year old daughter (yeah, a mistake) and told her, "Don't EVER become dependent upon a man."

Thanks for the example of what NOT to do as a woman. Get a job, Danielle.

Hang in there girl. My mom raised me and my older sister as a single parent, she got married to my dad, they divorced then she got married again and got divorced again. Trust me, you'll be fine, hang in there and DO NOT worry about your kids because they'll learn from any and all of your mistakes. Take my advice and talk to them about everything, don't keep them in the dark. And as for Dina, please don't waste your time, keep in classy and F*ck her if she wants to waste her time talk crap about you. Tell her to get a life.

Danielle,

You may want to consider getting a...JOB!!!

The Pass is the pass. If for some reason you needed to dance to pay your bills so what!!!. You did what you needed to do to live or maybe you just enjoyed it. That is your business. Tell those Housewives they dont have a heaven nor a hell to put you in so don't judge you.
