Dina,

I would love to know what sparkly handbag you were carrying when you met Danielle at Chakra. Can you tell?

Also, I wish you weren't leaving the show! You and Teresa are my favorites because you both seem so down to earth and real.

Best wishes for you and your family.

Dina , you seem to be a very down to earth woman. Congrats to you because your right screw the drama.God bless you and your family.

i love dina and caroline keep up the good work i don't care what other people say they are just jealous dina you are right there are still good people in this world and caroline keep on telling it like it is i just admire you two.

Hi Dina,
NJ Housewives is the BEST. I have a lot of respect for you, for what you had to deal with, being a stong and loving mother, and dealing with Danielle and her BS. You and your daughter have a beautiful relationship, you remind me so much of my daughter and I. She is my only child, and she is my world, our bond is very strong, especially after the death of my husband. I miss him so much, and my daughter is the only thing that keeps me going, she looks so much like him, I can see so much of her wonderful father in her, and she is such an amazing little girl. I relate to you because you don't want drama. I don't either, when the games begin I walk away, but not till I confront the coward and set them straight if they keep it up, but isn't it amazing how manipulative people try to bring drama into your life when you do everything you can to keep it out?

Dina,
The scene when you and your daughter are cleaning out her room and she is under the bed and sneezes and hits her head was hysterical. OMG she totally reminds me of myself when I was her age very goofy. You and your daughter seem to have the same relationship that my mom and I had. I love the show I love all of you girls, Mostly you. I love Tereasa, she is so cute I have 34-As and would love to get rid of them too haha. Caroline would intimidate me if I ever met her but shes is way awsome, Jaqueline is way to sweet and seems like she just wants the best for everyone around her. Im so glad she was able to have her 3rd baby. I too had a miscarriage this last January. Look at me Im babling I have nothing to say about Danielle shes just a hot mess. Love you Ladies, please do another season!!!

-Sammy in Kansas City now wish I was still living in Cali where I was raised. Don't ever go to Kansas, no disrespect but blah is all that can describe it but at least I got my man by my side.

Sorry for all the chatting haha Peace&Love

Dear Dina,
I am truly fond of this show, and a bigger fan of you. Out of all the housewives, you were the one that tried to stray away from any drama which was usually started by Danielle. I'm sure throughout the whole show, each viewer sided with both you and Danielle. But, at the the end Danielle showed her true colors and lack of respect for a a simple family dinner which left us no choice but to side with you. I wish you and your family much happiness. Even after all the drama, and cruel words that were spoken, you and the other housewives survived, and us-the veiwing audience shared a few laughs and tears with each and everyone of you.Thank you for being you, and the this versiomn of the real housewives(NJ) was as real as it gets: ) )

Hey Dina,

How can my daughter meet Caroline's boys? I want her as my daughter's future mother-in-law! Just kidding, but I do love your family.....you are so blessed......:)

Dina, I think you displayed tremendous grace in the reunion show, always giving Danielle the benefit of the doubt, when Caroline mentioned whatever it was that Danielle had considered doing to you (it was never disclosed at your request). Many people would have jumped at the chance to expose the facts to discredit her even more. You took the high road and said time will tell, maybe she has changed. (That is what I took from it anyway.) Danielle doesn't need any help discrediting herself, she did well enough on her own. Hopefully this has enlightened her for the future.
You are a class act and anyone who has you as a friend is blessed.

dina i love you! ive watched every tuesday nights. and i cant get enough of you and the girls. dont let someones stupid drama get you all pissed off and upset,your too good for that. but PLEASE DO ANOTHER SEASON PLEASE! hahaha me and my friends love you guys so much!

Dina, I would have to say that you are one of my favs on the show. You know how to have class but also not take any grap from anyone either. I admire the way you stick up for your family and how you respect the chocies your family members make even if you dont agree with them. You are a great person, an awesome mom, and a great sister. You sre one of my role models. Keep up the good work and look forward to hopefully season 2. NJ housewives you rock( not Danielle) Is the only reason why they had Danielle in it is because every good show needs a villian?(LOL)

Dina,
Although you and your sister came through as the head strong people in the end you won! Your daughter reminds me of my daughter when she was that age. Enjoy every moment with her. Before you know it, she will be on her own. I wish I lived in N.J. maybe I will be by next year as my family has slowly been moving there from Brooklyn. I am going through a horrific divorce now going on five years, still no settlement. We are divorced after 34 years and have been divorced two years now so, I know how hard it was for you. Thank God you had a sister who was able to take you in. Maybe someday, we could make it to your Ladybuy Fund Raiser. Please let me know when it will be. Thanks for the great show.

Dina,
You and your sister are too full of yourselves! One day you will meet your matches and you both will be put in place!

Dina,

You are Caroline's puppet and Caroline is the puppet master. Do you have any real thoughts of your own or do they need to be approved by your sister first? It is obvious, Caroline is the leader of your "mean girls" clique. Danielle DID NOT deserve the dish you girls served to her. Remember, karma is a mean mistress.

I love you Dina, you're my favorite!! I dont think your a bitch, I think you have a good head on your shoulders and you seem to realize whats important in your life. I love your daughter and your relationship, it cracks me up! And I'm trying to talk my hubby into getting a cat like grandma wrinkles-i think shes adorable, he finds her creepy!!

I've tried to watch all the episodes of housewives. Not just New Jersey, but the other ones as well. Maybe it was to see how the other half lived and maybe it was to see how "the other half" did with families and real-life problems. I think that I enjoyed the New Jersey housewives the best because of how close all the families were. People may say that your family is like the mafia, with Caroline at the head....but I say BRAVO!!! Family is EVERYTHING! I had a grandmother and grand-Aunts who would not speak to eachother. This not only hurt them but hurt the rest of the family as well. I always had to watch what I said and who I said it to so as to not hurt anyone or play favorites. Why would you want someone to come into your life that would make problems? I'm a lot like Jacqueline in that I have a hard time hurting anyone whether I like them or not. I don't like to do that and find it much easier to look for the best in people even when these people are manipulative. Which is how I viewed Danielle. However, she had good qualities as well so I can understand how Jackie must have felt. I LOVED how protective Caroline was with everyone. I'm glad that you have such a wonderful sister that you can count on to have your back through thick and thin. It sounds like you have a great family with all the equipment to combat the "hard knocks" that life throws at you. Whether you are rich, like yourselves, or poor, like my family, it is good to be able to call yourselves "family" and really behave like a family should. You are NOT like the mafia. You are loving people with definite views on what or who should be allowed to interact within that parameter. Good luck and I can't wait to see how everything turns out. Watching you makes me wish I could be part of YOUR family, and I absolutely LOVE MINE!!! lol Good luck girls! Live well and enjoy life!

Dina, you are the most classy woman (among Caroline) on that show.
Unfortunately, I've known a Danielle also. I aslo have a close, Italian family and they come first as well. Needless to say, the "Danielle" is no longer in my life. Rid of all bad energy, it only drains you and your family of all good thing.

Dina, who did Danielle think she was ruining Teresas dinner party? It was a "house warming" dinner, wasn't it? It wasn't the time or the place to bring out the book and clear her name. She is so selfish! How could your Jacqueline turn around and defend her? Did she think Danielle was right to speak to Teresas guests and the host the way she did? I hope she's not invited to anymore social parties by the REAL housewives. Congrats on your new nephew, Nicholas!

You know- I love this show. This is the first house wives where I feel that they showcased people well and that these people are people to admire. I agree with your instincts towards Danielle. I don't think she's a bad person, I don't think you do either, but I'm with you that sometimes, you just don't want to attract the drama. We don't always sense those things so well. So when we can see it from miles away, it's probably better to put a button on it.

I think that's really what this is all about. And Danielle can go on and on about how unfair stuff is, but really, she' not getting the point that she has a natural flair for the dramatic...like Greek Trajedy style. And even though she makes for AWESOME t.v. , I was embarrassed for her a few times by how needy she is and insecure she is. She wears it on her person, even when she's trying not to. That's not to say she isn't tough, or that she isn't ballsy... I don't know if I could have walked into that dinner feeling good either. You ladies are awesome, but if you're not feeling someone...ouch.

You are an awesome lady. It's been a pleasure watching you and your family on t.v.

-L

I wish you three ladies would come to Texas. We would put you in your place. I cannot believe that Bravo would put you on tv. You three are the rudiest ladies I have ever met. Just because your husbands have money does not make you good people. Have you ever heard of what comes around goes around. Keep the attitude and it will bite you in the kiester.......

DINA...I FEEL SO SORRY FOR YOU BEING ATTACKED BY DANIELLE.

Dina,
All of you all beautiful women and each of you are unique in your own way. However, you girls are too clique-esh. If it were not for Danielle and your sister-in-law being best friends this would have been boring show. People who are in cliques usally don't voice their opinions unless they find someone they can gang-up against and bully. Danielle was not having it. She never claim to be perfect but neither are you and your sister. You have to accept poeple for who they are now. Not who they were in the past. One thing about writing a book, especially book like that one sometimes people have lie to get a book sold. After all people like drama. Another thing you all should have other friends besides each other so you can grow and learn to respect each other. Remember the world would be very boring if we were all the same.

Dearest Dina,
I admire you very much, such grace about yourself and how a lady should be always. From a fabulous mom and how brilliant you carry your weight in life is simply amazing. If there were any shoes I would love to walk in for just a day it would be yours.

Dina I think you're great:) and I hope you and Jacqueline will be the best of friends again as well as family and I think Danielle is truly DEMENTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE'S CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best wishes to you and yours

Dina, So glad that you realized what is important now, you won't have any regrets. Believe me. I know that you have spent so much time building your career, and let's face it, if the goal was to succeed in business, you did it. Our needs and reality changes over the years, why wouldn't your priorities? Good for you acting upon yours. I can't seem to agree with the other readers how you and Caroline want Jacqueline (friend wise) to be exclusive to just family. I do understand why you object to her friendship to Danielle. Regardless of the finale, I already to knew what kind of person Danielle was. I, too, look for the good in people, but, I'm not blind. Although I hate to make a judgement without all of the facts, I've seen enough of Danielle's manipulation to last a lifetime. Jacqueline needs to open her eyes and accept the truth about everybody. As far as fixing people, you can't fix people that don't admit or know that they are broken. We are only able to change ourselves. Sorry for getting up on my platform. It's the counselor in me.

Dina,
Luv the show,drama, the homes,cars and lifestyle! You are blessed! Thats show biz! Enjoy life!

Dina,

The season FINALE...OMG words cannot describe it. I kept telling my Hubby to shush & be quite! Halarious. About the whole Danielle issue, i seriously think theres some MORE secrets behind everything. I dont think everything has cleared up & she either needs to spill it OR get off the show. She brings to much DRAMA.

I enjoyed watching the show. Your family is beautiful. Your hubby needs to appear on the show more often. Im pretty sure he is a very busy man but we need to see him sometimes.

Cant wait to see the NEXT season.

JLT

Hey Dina

Ur brother is hot. Is he partnered?

Dina-

I LOVE the fact that you told the world that it's really okay to be a Housewife! I feel the same way! You have to be a certain individual to feel this way, and to have the means to be able to do it. We are blessed!

HEY DINA,
JUST WANTED TO SAY YOU ARE A GREAT PERSON AND I LOVE YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER SHE MAKES ME LAUGH SO MUCH. I AM FOR JAQUELINE SHE IS YOUR BROTHERS WIFE AND OUT OF RESPECT FOR HIM THROW EVERYTING CRAZY. YOU AND CAROLINE WHO IS SOO GREAT JUST LET THAT PERSON WITH MENTAL PROBLEMS AND NEEDS A JOB OUT OF YOUR LIVE AND MOUTHS AND BE HAPPY.CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING A STAY AT HOME MOM/WIFE THAT IS GREAT. YOU ARE A GREAT MOM. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

Dina, you're the best! The RHWNJ was by far the ultimate ending in the series episodes. I couldn't believe the ending!
Italian fireworks, wow!!!! I want to make a comment on Women's Lib that you said on one of the last episodes. It isn't about working and raising a family. It is about choice. You have the right to choose and you did.
I hope there will be a Season 2!!! Love ya, love ya, love ya all!

Dina you and your family are awesome ! the whole lot of you... I my self have work for my boss who is from italy, and she has told me so much about italian family, makes me wish I was born Italian ! (LOL) even learned alot from my boss and i's late friend Joey banano jr. (god bless him) anyway its a bond I wish my family growing up could of had. well I wish all health love and happiness and will be an avid fan of show ! Good Luck
Shellan

Dina,

I have to say that I am so very impressed with you and your amazing family. I come from a 100% italian family. Born in Brooklyn, raised in "Lawng Island". And even though I moved to beautiful San Diego 18 years ago, there is something I miss about the East Coast and the bond many families (especially Italian) have with each other. You are a class act. And the love you have for your beautiful daughter is very obvious. She is lucky to have a special mom like you.

I look forward to watching next season and seeing what's new with all you sassy ladies.

Ciao!

P.S. your nephews are hunks!!! LOL

Rick

I agree with the comment above! I would love to see all of you return except for one. This season was my favorite of all the Real housewives. I loved seeing family members on the show together- true relationships instead of people being forced to make a relationship for ratings.

Please come back for another season! Best wishes to you and your family!

Omg Dina you are too much with that cat!! lol Dr.Evil status haha jk jk jk

We all know who the real Dr. Evil is....ehh hemm Danielle
You were one of my faves on the show, and I love your hair.

Hello Dina,
Just a note to compliment you and Caroline on your strong family values. I love the closeness that you and Caroline share and also how you both have raised respectful loving children - that is a testament to the real women you are. It's so nice to see a family that understands the importance of respect, loyalty and love, something I know well, being Greek and an only child. I've lost both of my parents to cancer and have no children (but have kitty's), so I enjoy seeing a family together as I miss my family so much. I can only imagine how much fun Sunday dinner's and holidays must be! I wish Bravo would offer you and Caroline a cooking show - would be great! Best to you and yours and kitty's too!

Hi Dina,

First i just want to say that I LOVE the show and it definately wouldn't be nearly as good if u weren't on it! This whole thing w/ Danielle and "the book" is just ridiculous. I can't believe she brought it to the dinner w/ everyone. That right there should tell everyone that all she wants to do is cause drama. So hopefully if anyone was doubting u now they won't. I do have a question for u...why have we NEVER seen your husband on the show? Does he just not like cameras or what?

I LOVE YOU!!!!!! YOU REMIND ME OF ME!!!! I HAVE WATCHED ALL THE HOUSEWIVES SHOWS AND THE NJ HOUSEWIVES ARE BY FAR MY FAVORITE...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ALL YOU GIRLS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF DANIELLE....I FIND MYSELF EVEN REWATCHING THE SHOWS EVERY TUESDAY, THURSDAY AND SUNDAY...YOU DINA, ARE BEAUTIFUL...LOVE YOUR SMILE!!!!

Dina I am watching the finale and I am a huge fan, I love to see a strong supportive family!! Danielle deserved it all she is a nut case!! I think you and your sister Caroline are great!!!

Hi Dina,
I was just reading other people's comments and I agree that you and Danielle just didnt hit it off when you first met. I know sometimes when I meet new people I dont always get a good vibe from some people and thats just it for me and that person(I just wont like them and usually dont give 2nd chances). Any who enough about that...
Last thing I wanted to tell you is that you are Fabulously Gorgeous! Love the show!

Hey Dina, I just wanted to say that I love your relationship with your daughter. You are really doing a great job with her. You have so much fun with her. Good luck and Oh congrats on the decision to stay home. Time flies by so quickly. She will be going off to college before you know it.

I believe your a great mom and so strong I admire you so much. I respect you for choosing to stay home with Lexy that's amazing. I believe when Lexy grows up you can get back into your career. Your Awesome.

Dina, you're absolutely right: there IS nothing wrong with wanting to stay home to take care of your daughter/husband/cat; good for you for realizing it now and not when it's too late. Do what your heart tells you, not what you think the liberal/appropriate thing is to do.

Dina in my house we love you,Caroline, and Teresa. Keep up the great work. Your family are a tight and together family, keep it that way. I grew up with a saying when people start talking about you that means your doing something. You worry when they stop. Keep on going.

Dina,
Hi! I'm a Jersey girl myself (23 from Long Branch). I have to say I love your show!!! My friend's mom has actually went to one of Project Ladybug's charity events. Thanks for doing something great for the community!! Also, Lexi is hilarious. She's fun to watch, she's an amazing little firecracker. You seem to have done a really great job!

Thanks!!!

Dina - I love the show. My favorite of all the Housewives. When I first watched, I wasn't so sure, but you, your sister, Teresa, Jacqueline all seem like sweet Southern girls like me!

I think your really classy and cool and of course absolutely gorgeous. I'm from a huge italian family too so I completely understand the dynamics in ur family. I don't understand why some people are writing comments saying u start drama.. anyone who watches the show can CLEARLY see what a nut that girl danielle is..a complete NUT. love the show!

Dina, I think you have a wonderful daughter. But, I also think there is away to about addressing someone you don't care for aka Danielle....why don't you just be reall and confront her with your thoughts...that would be adult

Sorry I have to say the Cat is not attractive....I know it's part of your fam but so not cute.

Dina,Dina
You are my favorite on the show. I love your attitude and how you carry yourself. You are very honest and you carry yourself with a positive attitude, it's fabolous. And why you sweating ten pounds? Take my word for it you look great!!

Your season was much too short! Loved all you girls...well except one!(Danielle)
Keep your head held high Dina! You handled yourself with class all season.

I LUV DANIELLE WHY INVITE HER IF U DON'T LIKE HER!!!U , TERESA, CARLINE ARE VERY CATTY!!I LUV JACQUELINE TOO UR BRO NEEDS TO MAKE YA'LL STAY OUT OF THERE LOVE LIFE!!!
