Can't Bring Me Down: Jacqueline reflects on where her friendship with Danielle went wrong.

Jacqueline Laurita

I am writing to address Danielle's blog. Why am I not surprised to see that she is playing the victim once again? Danielle knows exactly why we are not friends anymore. She did something HORRIBLE behind the scenes to destroy Dina and my family. We have PROOF of it. I wish I could say what it is, but that's Dina's call. The other reasons were after seeing the show I got some threatening phone calls from Danielle. She didn't like what I had to say about her on camera so she flipped out on me. I honestly didn't think that I said anything that bad. Sometimes you get cut off from finishing a sentence when it comes to TV as well, and I had tried to explain that to her. I didn't appreciate the way she spoke to me. She told me to stay away from her and her "real" friends. I still don't know what she was talking about. I certainly haven't spoke to any of her friends about anything because I don't even know what I would have spoke about. I don't even know her friends. The night before the reunion show she called my sister-in- law to try to turn her against me with lies! I didn't appreciate that either. I have heard all over town that she is trashing me and plans to "bring me down," whatever THAT means. It's enough for me to know that I don't need someone like that in my life that could turn on me so quick because they don't like my opinions when asked about their lifestyle.

I know a lot of things about Danielle's past as well as her present and I STILL tried my best not to judge her and I still continued to be her friend. It didn't matter to me as long as it didn't interfere with my life. Her life and her choices are her own...not mine. I was a very good friend to Danielle. I did a lot for her to help her out. A LOT! More than I wish I had. Perhaps I was conned like everyone else who enters her life. Everything that Danielle did for me was calculated. It was not from her heart. She would do something nice for me and then ask me numerous times if I told my husband that she did it. Sometimes she wanted me to tell my sisters-in-law. She demanded I put in one of my blogs that SHE was the one who introduced me to her OB/GYN and actually got mad at me after viewing the first episode that I hadn't mentioned that in the show, like I control the editing process. I laughed when I saw the next episode where I actually DID mention that Danielle gave me the Doctors name. Does anyone really care about that? Does it really matter? I think my husband and I were the ones who are responsible for me getting pregnant...not Danielle. She would always get mad at weird things like that. She only drove me to ONE doctor's appointment, by the way, not every time like she claimed to have done. LIE! Yes, Danielle helped set up CJ's party tables when the cameras were rolling, but the second they stopped filming for a while...Danielle left. She wants credit for ANY nice gestures she does. When you do something nice for someone you shouldn't need or want recognition for it. Like I said, she is calculating! Danielle NOT ONCE asked to me to gather my family to talk about "the book." That is so ridiculous for her to even say when Danielle has EVERY one of their phone numbers! She could have called each of them herself. Why would she need me as if I was her secretary? Ridiculous! My sisters-in-law had NOTHING to do with my choice to end my friendship with Danielle. I would never have given her a chance if I had listened to them and the rest of the town and surrounding towns. That's not how I am. I give everyone a chance. I make my own decisions based on my own experiences with them. Over time, my experiences with Danielle...lead me to this. I stuck by Danielle when no one else would. I am so disappointed and hurt by Danielle. I really don't want to trash her with everything that I know about her. Which is a LOT! I just want her to go away and stay out of my life. I have much more important things in my life to focus on. I hope Danielle gets the help that she needs.

You and Caroline are my favs Your the girl next door and Caroline is alot like me she speaks her mind as do I. As for Danielle what goes around comes around so in the end and when she wonders where all her friends have gone she'll look back and see what happened. I'm very happy for you and your husband on the new addition to your family. I can't wait for season two. oh and tell Tersea congrats on her new addition also.

: 01/14/2010 - 12:13pm; Monique - Brasil; I looooooooooooove you. You are the best one ;)

Just want you to know that I have been continuosly impressed with how classy you remain and of all of the housewives of New York, the O.C., and Atlanta, and you are one of my favorites. Sexy, beautiful, and classy!!(I am gay so your husband doesn't need to get up in arms). Love watching you and would recommend the other housewives in New Jersey should take a look and learn a bit about class from the example you have been setting. Oh yeah, don't let Caroline or Dina or anyone else push you around or make up your mind. You are doing great doing what you doing.
Keep it up!!

Hi Jacqueline!

I wanted to express my congrats on your to be new additon. I love you on the show and cannot wait until the new season. You are so down to earth and I admire that. It is good that you decided to end your relationship with Danielle. You bent over backwards for her and she just did not care. You deserve better people in your life ones that can support you and bend over backwards for you! I love your hair too. Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family.

: 12/20/2009 - 1:14am; Debi; Jacqueline I really hope to see the new show i watched it plus some others but your show is the best I got hooked lol Anyways I also thought you we're a very good friend to Danielle and she's always had drama with someone in your family I think you made the right choice cause now you and your husbend finally had a new baby good for you to I'm so happy for you both agin can't wait to see the new show

Hey Jacqueline!!

I haven't checked here for quite a while!! I am shocked you decided to just dump your friendship with Danielle!! I do know she causes too much drama for your family! Danielle is the type of person that wants everything in the world, including friendship. But, set aside from her, how are all the rest of the Jersey girls?? You guys are my fav. and hope you come back for many more seasons. You must be so proud of yourself for having another child!! You and Tersea both!!

Jacqueline,

First of congrats on your beautiful son. Don't let anybody change you. Danielle past shouldn't define her. How far you go to be whom you are now should define you!! She is strong in my opinion and supports her girls. God will bless you for befriending her. Continue with your good heart it's not always about us. Sometimes the Lord sends us to help somebody else. Take care your my favorite. Smooches :)

: 11/19/2009 - 8:38pm; ellen; yayayay im sooo excited for season 2!!!

: 11/16/2009 - 7:41pm; Miss Melissa; Well to start off congrats with the baby, and also I am glad that you realized who Danielle really was on your own. And happy to hear you and your family are sticking together like family always should i loved season one you gals are my fav housewives ready for season 2

: 11/04/2009 - 10:30pm; Chip; Dear Jacqueline,
Love the show and kep it up! I wish your family the best of luck to handle Danielle! Cant wait to see season number 2!

: 11/03/2009 - 5:37pm; AmandaP18; Hi Jacqueline,
Sending you best wishes from Ireland. Loved the show, you were so down to earth and the most natural person on it. Don't waste anymore time worrying about that Danielle psycho, that woman has serious issues! Focus on your new adventure with your beautiful baby and your family. Hope all goes well. Take care.

: 10/28/2009 - 1:04pm; Ms Smith; I normally don't watch shows like this, but i found it interesting. I do think you are the most fair, friendly and level-headed person out of all the ladies. However, i watched the reunion, and although i can't say i like Danielle, nor can i say i don't like her, but when she started talking about her abuse as a child, i found it uncomfortable to watch, because no one hugged her. I don't think we should judge people but rather give deep thought to why they are who they are. What happened in the past to make them the way they are? I think in Danielle's own twisted way, she was trying to ask for understanding and acceptance. I could completely understand what she meant when she said she went from being abused by her family and being further abused by her 'knight in shining armour', the man she thought would rescue her would be the one to destroy her. I do understand that you can only give so many chances but didn't you feel something when she spoke of the abuse? She may tell lies, etc, but i think people should think about the reasons for behaviour and not the behaviour. I also thought that all the other housewives did sort of team up on her, i think she felt like an outsider and envied your family because you were a family and she didn't have that.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. x

: 10/27/2009 - 8:53pm; Vieweruk; Hi jaquline
you where the most fairest person on here to be honest,
and i think you was the only REAL housewife,
hope all is well with the new baby and your family :)

: 10/27/2009 - 8:45pm; shantala; Hi Jacqueline, I watched this series and thought that out of all the girls, you were the only one who seemed genuine and lovely! You came across as a really good friend to Danielle, which you should be proud of, as it's important to stick by your friends! :) congrats on the baby on the way, I have a very beautiful six year old daughter, she is my life! Ok, I feel a bit crazy emailing someone I've never met who I saw on a show, but just wanted to let you know that you seem like a really nice person. All the best for your upcoming labour. Love Shantala. xxx

: 10/21/2009 - 6:01am; AngelaA; Hi Jaqueline, I just wanted to congratulate you on the news of your pregnancy although, you may have had your little boy by now. I also wanted to say how much I admire you. You seem a very honest, reliable and trustworthy character. Out of all the girls you were true to yourself, you didn't hold back or lie or cover up for people. You would be a great friend to have around. You seem very down to earth. Best of luck with the new addition.

: 10/13/2009 - 9:45pm; Eileen; Congratulations on your new little arrival Jacqueline!
Watching the show, it is clear you are a very loyal and truthful person. You must have found out something horrible to put an end to your friendship with Danielle.
It is lovely to see the strong bond you all have as family.
Just wanted to say also, you are beautiful as you are - no need to mess with your lips like that!!!
Best wishes xxx

: 10/13/2009 - 8:13am; Joy; You really are a nice person... keeep it up and i wish you well. Sad thing is im in Africa and struggle to get all the clips ... lol

: 10/12/2009 - 7:19am; mafe; Hi jacqueline,
Congrats on the baby! I am sure you must have delivered by now. I wish you and your family the best. I agree with an earlier comment, that Danielle needs some help. When she spoke at the reunion I felt really bad because it does sound like she has gone through a lot of horrible things and seeking counseling would be a good thing for her to do. I find it sad that you aren't friends anymore. Watching your guys be friends in the middle of all the chaos was refreshing.

: 10/10/2009 - 12:56pm; Kajal Horne; You are my favorite, I must say that FIRST. I wish you luck with the baby. Despite who is family and who is not,I am very proud of the ways you handle yourself. You are true to yourself and others. I do not agree with the way Caroline feels about family because if a family member did something wrong & I covered or didnt speak up or anything like that then they are not the ones I have to answer to in the end, it is God and you have to think about what he would think of you not friends,not family, not no one else but God.
I have been lost in my life before and I have done some things I shouldn't have done, we all do. Some people like Danielle I believe just need some help, but its hard for her to keep friends Im sure because of her past. Instead of people attacking her or staying away from her, it would help her be a better person if someone was by her side to help her see her mistakes and correct them.
Im sure she did something that was terrible to your family but you guys are still alive so be happy about that and move on. Forgiveness is what God wants us to do. I love the way you dont let your sister in laws conrtol you. They are family YES but they are NOT GOD.

: 10/09/2009 - 8:40pm; Viewer; You are my favorite. You are a beautiful inside and out. I am just sorry that you hav eto even be around Caroline. I truly believe that she doesn't give Danielle a chance to even try and make things right. Plus my opinion is Caroline is the one who is full of drama. Every chanve she gets she takes a stap at Danielle.
You and Teresa are my favs!

: 10/07/2009 - 5:18am; Abrownangel; Saw the final episode here in the UK last night and just wanted to reiterate what a lot of other people are saying about Jacqui. She is a very gracious and beautiful lady inside and out and morally superior as far as I'm concerned. She did not judge but gave Danielle the benefit of a doubt. I thought it dreadful that Jacqui had been put in a position where she was being told by both sides which to choose. Danielle should have gracefully bowed out and told Jacqui that she was taking the decision for her. A real friend would not have allowed that to happen, they would have backed away and let the rest of them get on with it. I wish Jacqueline and her immediate family all the best including her parents who are a brilliant and down to earth influence.

: 10/07/2009 - 5:09am; Buthaface; Hello jacqueline, i am writing to you from london. just finishing watching the show last night (06/10/2009)on british tv and i loved you. Firstly congratulations on being pregnant! I just wanted to let you know that I found you very refreshing and a wonderful friend for standing by Danielle the way you did. You shouldn’t have any regrets for doing that because that’s what friendship is all about. I get that Danielle may be manipulating but your sister-in-laws are a bit scary also and they bullied her a little. Maybe she deserved it who knows. But I liked that you stood up to them and your husband also supported your decision at that table bashing. I have never enjoyed reality tv this much. I hide under the cushions!!!! You have a good man in your husband and best of luck to you and your family. You are truly beautiful and sensitive and very intelligent. I loved watching you and I wish I could be half the friend you are

: 09/25/2009 - 3:46pm; Viewer; jaqueline,i wanted to tell you how mutch my daughter and i love you.to me you are the real nj housewife.beautifull ,kind and friendly with everyone.i was shopping in a store and when you walked in the whole place got so bright from your smile and kindness to the people around you.you are a peoples person,so down to earth.your husband is a very lucky guy,and your sisters in law have to look up to you.keep up the great attidute and your beautifful smile.good luck always to you and your family.hope to see you soon out there shopping,and the next time i will see you,i will talk to you..

: 09/24/2009 - 10:21am; Viewer; aint no one give a damn about your guys friendship

: 09/23/2009 - 8:16am; elaine; i believe you went beyond the call of duty as a friend, you where in a terrible position caught between a rock and a hard place, you ( in my opinion ) wanted to please everyone and hurt no one but life just is not like that. She did not and does not deserve your friendship, as far as i am concerned, some people thrive on attention, bad or good and always need to have dramas going on in their lives, i am not saying that she has lied about her past, which sounds traumatic and i feel for her on that level, but on that level only. You stick with your family sweetheart, and by family i mean your children and your husband and do what is right for you. GOOD LUCK XX

: 09/22/2009 - 6:39pm; Josie; Am writing this from England........I adore you and congratulations on your pregnancy. I hope and pray you don't spend one minute more on Danielle. She's very manipulative and it comes across through the TV screen. Please remember you have a beautiful and exciting life ahead of you. Pour your energies on that. You a have a very beautiful spirit Jacqueline.

: 09/10/2009 - 11:37am; Viewer; hello girlfriend I am so sorry that you have to go through this w/ friends... what did you have boy/girl name ???? and hows Theresa doing??? what is she haveing???cant wait for next season..please don't be to hard on Danielle forgive and forget-remmber our kids....if we cant be the big one to let it go how will our kids be to hold grudges in there life,and even tho pople disappoint us life is to short to hang on to it...

: 09/08/2009 - 1:14pm; NJ HW fan!; Jacqueline, You mentioned a game that you played with your family. I think that is a wonderful idea. Can you please tell me the name of it?? Congratulations on the baby! New Jersey has been the best! Can't wait for season 2. Don't feed into the negative. Stay true to yourself!!

: 09/06/2009 - 12:24pm; MissKellie; You are beautiful and kind beyond words. There are just some people in this world that seem to need drama for some reason. You gave her more than a couple chances, and I know you did what was right for you. Thank you for being such a kind and positive individual!

Hi,

You are my favorite housewife of all the shows and I watch them all. I really like that you do not potray yourself as alot of them do, and it is not in a good way. I dont know if you read these but I watched where you were having trouble with having a baby. I am glad that you have one now!!! My boyfriend and I have been together for 9 years and I despratly want a baby unsucessfully. Is there any advice you can give me? I would be greatful

: 09/03/2009 - 2:06pm; Mary; I commend you for being a kind and respectfull woman. Sticking up for others when no one else wants to give them room to just be human and make mistakes. I think you are humble enough to see the good when others cant. I applaud you for speaking up.

hi im josh (13) and i live in england and i watched the show and thought wow shes well pritty

: 08/27/2009 - 5:52pm; Maggie; You are my favorite housewife! You remind me of my sister Claire, who has the biggest heart of any person I know. You did try to be a friend to Danielle and not judge her. But it was clear that she was not a true friend to you. She was always playing some angle disigned to make herself look like a better person. I hope you stay as good-hearted as you are. Good luck to you and your husband on your new blessing!

08/22/2009 - 6:37pm

Congratulations on your new baby! I'm so happy for you and sorry that you had to go through so many lost pregnancies in the past.

You are amazing and I'm proud of you for standing up for Danielle at the dinner. Dina deserved to get called out and I hate people that think they can treat someone however they want, and then act all shocked by the consequences. Sorry things didn't work out with you and Danielle. I've seen a lot of people say she just wants people to like her so maybe she was trying to make sure that there were good things being said about her to balance out the bad. But you're totally right- the way she went about it makes it look like nothing nice that she did was for the actual purpose of just being a good friend.

: 08/16/2009 - 2:37pm; Maria; Danielle showed her true colors when you or Caroline cried. She is cold as ice. I would not trust her. She would turn on you in a New York minute.

: 08/14/2009 - 3:23pm; Jessica; Hi Jacqueline!
You are the Best NJ Housewife!
You and your husband are so calm, at the Table Flippin' Dinner Party, you guys were the best. So calm, so good, not getting involved. Nice Job! How is your new son doing! I wish you the best with your Husband, Ashley, CJ, Nicolas, Sisters, Friends, Family, Everything! =D
Talk to you later!

: 08/10/2009 - 1:21pm; Khadeejah; Hi Jacqueline!! Just wanted to congradulate you on your baby!! I know what you went thru to have him, After waiting 10 years for my son, it was a joy to have my daughter after 2, Im blessed to have 2 bueatiful healthy children but now I am longing for a third, with a recent etopic, I know the struggle. I am trying again as of this month. Godd luck to you, and be careful who you choose as your freinds. Lots of luck happiness and love.

you are great Big Congrats on the baby

: 08/07/2009 - 5:10pm; Kathi; Hi Jacqueline ,
Congrats on your new baby ! I just think you are the most down to earth person on the show . I watched the episode where you played a card game with your family , I was hoping you would tell me the name of that game . My family and I are into games and I think that game would be a great way to learn more about each other and also our friends. If you wil please let me know the name of it I would greatly appreciate that . Thanks !
Kathi~~~

: 08/07/2009 - 1:04pm; Viewer; Jacqueline,
I understand where you are coming from when you say that you would like to give everyone a chance... I'm the same way however, when I'm burned, I'm not too quick to forgive and forget! And that's something I have to work on for the sack of my survial!! I too met a Danielle in my life but, against better judgment and hearsay, I gave her a chance... and like everyone else I was betrayed and hurt! Be strong and don't forget that part about forgiving!

: 08/06/2009 - 5:27pm; Gina; Hi Jacqueline, I just wanted to commend you on the issue with Danielle, I knew from the start of the season that she was bad news for everyone. I'm glad that you are done with her. And congrats on your new arrival to your family. I cant wait for the next season .I love your show.

: 08/06/2009 - 3:09pm; Lori; Girly..You are the BEST..I really enjoyed your show.I enjoyed everyone except Danielle,I could tell she was a fake from the get go..I cant wait till next season..Oh yeah like everyone else Iam to curious about that game..What was it called? Keep the class girl..YOU ROCK!!

: 08/06/2009 - 12:24am; Victoria; You have such a big heart- it's thiiiiiis big! *stretches out arms* That's a lot of heart relative to body mass!
You are so sweet and you stick by what you believe in. Danielle was a fool to let you go, because you are worth your weight in gold as a friend. You are very real, and I admire your strength and character. You're so forgiving for letting Danielle back into your heart, time and time again. Shame on her!

08/02/2009 - 5:45am

Maria New York

Jacqueline,
I think that you are a sweet heart. Such a nice person and a wonderful friend!
I'm sorry that Danielle hurt you and betrayed you, because you really came her defense even with your own family,it took a lot of guts and showed how loyal you are.
Congrats on the new addition to your family.
You so deserve it.

I'd like to add one other thing.
Out of all your sisters YOU are the one who is level headed and follows your heart and head.
That speaks volumes about you.
I wish you nothing but the best!

Oh BTW I can't tell the difference between you and your daughter sometimes!!!

: 07/29/2009 - 1:45pm; J.Ragan; You go girl, you are the best on your show. You are the only sane one in the whole bunch (your husband too). Good luck with your CRAZY sister in laws, and when you have too flip a table or two over on them!!!

: 07/29/2009 - 2:54am; jason; this is my third attempt to post a comment to you.You are the epitome of a lady,i love your philosophy the truth is the truth and basically your responsible for your own actions.Good or Bad.I believe from what i saw in the reunion and recently the lost footage episode.QUEEN BEE Caroline and Dina stick together no matter if they're dead wrong just to save face.To me that's'cowardly,un ladylike and down-right not nice.You on the other hand you do what's right.isn't that how we were raised,I know i was.Tell the truth even if it hurt's.because if you don't your only lying to yourself.Anyway this is about how much ienjoy the mother,wife and friend to other's that you are.i think your an incredible lady,congrat's on the new baby.Live long,Happy and stay true don't ever change!!!!!!!!!!!!you are the best HOUSWIFE OF NEW JERSEY.THANK GOD! And i'm sure mother of the year on a daily basis.YOU WERE A GREAT REPRESENATIVE.LIVE LONG AND HEALTHY JASON P.B.FL

Hi Jacqueline:

I'm so happy for you and your families new addition! Congratulations! I have to agree with everyone that you've shown that you have a big heart. You gave Danielle a chance, and I actually believed that you were doing the right thing in the beginning. I don't know it if actually happened this way, but from the viewers end, all we could see was her complaining about your in-laws, insulting them and trying to put a fire underneath you. She shouldn't have done that and it just seemed that she was using you. But, I just kept thinking this is from the viewers perspective. But it was actually at the finalle that I thought her true colors came out, because the camera would show that when everyone was going at it, Danielle was staring at you. Although she did not ask you to defend her, I believe that her body language and facial expressions where calling for your help. She wanted to get you involved and defend her and to go against your family. I believe she wanted your family to know that she had that control over you to make them more mad. You knew only what you knew and you defended her. I would have done the exact same thing that you did. I trust people when sometimes I shouldn't. Anyway, now that it's all said and done, I feel bad for you because you did trust her and you risked your family relationship by putting yourself out there and stood up for her and then she let you down. I know how awful that feels. Most families are controlling in one way or another, but most just want the best for us and are really looking out for our best interest. I think you're and awesome person and an awesome mom. Having teenagers is hard, and I can also relate to having teenagers and having a step father with new sibblings. You seem to manage everything so well and teenagers are teenagers and they don't always make it easy for us. I think she's great, don't get me wrong, I'm just saying I know it's tough and you seem to handle everything so well.

: 07/28/2009 - 8:23pm; jason p.b.fl; MRS>Jacqueline the classiest lady on the show,you stand up for what's right and you don't allow anyone to manipulate you.You stand tall and firm,and i respect you so much.You carried yourself with poise,style and grace and honesty.You said the truth is the truth and i believe america saw that and in my opinion that's a real lady.

: 07/28/2009 - 8:25am; Viewer; Is is just me?? Did anyone else see the apparent act of Jacqueline making damn sure the camera got her "I don't want to hear any of this" and "I don't care what you are saying" facial expressions? To me, I think that was an act to please her family, I think she really cares about Danielle but won't admit it for fear of rejection. I left my controlling family at 19 and never looked back. I am still very close to them BUT, I have my own friends and they do not try to tell me who I should hang with. I'm allowed to have my own set of friends, so are you Jacqueline.

I hope you have fun with the baby. you dont need danielle as a friend just you family stay the way you are ok

: 07/27/2009 - 9:23pm; Viewer; Danielle,
You are such a great person with a big heart! You stand up for whats right thats a very hard quality for people to have. Congrats on your new baby, and I hope your family is doing well. You cant always choose your friends, but as long as your happy where your at thats all that matters.

Hi Jacqueline.

You are very sweet. Congratulations on the new baby.

Just wanted to let you know: Dina and Caroline are your "sisterS-in-law" (not sister-in-lawS).

The sisters are what's plural, not the law, LOL.

Since you have to say it so often, you can be a good example to your fans. Have a great day!

: 07/26/2009 - 6:33pm; Viewer; I think you made the right choice and ending your friendship with Danielle. She acted childish. It kinda sucks that she stared to threaten you and leave you nasty messages. Oh well I hope that God has mercy on her soul because like God always says "Whats done in the dark, will be brought into the light".

: 07/26/2009 - 4:57pm; Janice W.; I couldn't agree more regarding Jacqueline's husband - what a standout man. I was so impressed by his integrity, strength and compassion. He cut through all the out-of-control bull to get the dinner situation over. Leadership at its best. Jacqueline, you married a gem. His sisters should take a page from his book. Congrats to the family on the new addition.

: 07/26/2009 - 8:10am; Viewer; You are so sweet on tv and probably in real life. Your husband appears to be a real stand up guy and I admire that in a man. Good luck with the new baby and I hope your husband continues to stand by your side and love you and the children.

: 07/25/2009 - 9:42am; jeanette; OMG,You brought me down memory lane,I was in a marriage with several sister in laws and we're all hispanic,I know exactly what you experienced,I would keep the peace but,I finally had enough of the lies and gossip that I spoke up and I was from another town,so the outsider against all these witches was bad.Anyway I'm glad you spoke up,but,she is not why you spoke up,its the lies so dont feel bad and just enjoy your family and know that we all love you.

: 07/24/2009 - 11:01pm; Nikki; You just enjoy your beautiful family. People like that have what I call 'toxic' personalities. They are brain suckers and leach off of your kind and nurturing spirit.
Only disingenuous people do things attached to the fruit of their actions. I believe in giving people a chance, but when they become a drain on you... keep her and others like her away lest they poison you.

: 07/24/2009 - 12:49am; Laura; Jacqueline, I admire that you tried to stay neutral/objective with Danielle and the other wives, but am glad that you now see what Danielle is really all about. (even though it was painful finding out) You are a nice person and i enjoy watching you on the show. Congratulations on your new baby!!

: 07/23/2009 - 2:24am; rosie; I just wanted to say that you are such a sweet person. I am soo happy that you are not friends with Danielle anymore because of so much drama she starts. Your sister in laws remind me of my own family where we are so close and stick together and although I think that this is great, being the youngest of seven, I can relate to how you were feeling through that whole drama about what the family would feel and say. It isn't that they tell me what to do, I just feel bad when things go on and making them or anyone for that matter, upset.
Anyways, you are such a sweet, beautiful and caring mother and friend!! I enjoy watching you

: 07/22/2009 - 4:28pm; VIEWER; First off, i want to say that i absolutely love the show!!! I honestly think that you are the best overall on the show. You have the looks, brains, and personality that is just so perfect. You definitely stand out from the crowd with your big heart and the way you care and listen to everyone. I would not let anything get you down, you are too good for that. I congratulate you on a great life, supporting husband, wonderful children(congrats on your new addition to the family too). Cant wait for season 2 to come out.

: 07/22/2009 - 2:47pm; Marinda; I love you hair!!! How do you get your ponytail to look so cute? I love the high bump on the crown! Please tell! :)

I am so very happy for you and your family on the birth of your son! I hope all went well! I would just like to say that I am a divorced Mom of a wonderful 7 year old boy and I thank God everyday for him!

You are my favorite housewife of all, I believe you are a true and genuine person and that is rare these days! Thank You for being you, I enjoy watching you and your wonderful family! Don't let anyone bring you down!

: 07/21/2009 - 11:26pm; Maria; Hi Jacqueline,
I enjoyed watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey, first of all I want to congratulate you on your new baby, I know you have wanted this for a long time and finally it happened. GOD is great. You are so lucky to have a great family and a great husband, enjoy every moment with them. I wish you the best and keep smiling..... ....
I really don't want to talk about Danielle, but I have to. She is a person that does not deserve to have a friend like you, from the beginning I could tell that she was nothing but a poisonous person to be around with, she always cause drama and wanted to get attention. I am happy that you all don't have to deal with her anymore...people like her only bring your spirit down. Everytime she was around you, all she talked/complained about was about how people would talk about her and she wanted everyone to feel sorry for her. Keep her out of your life.

: 07/21/2009 - 11:19pm; ricky; i will try and keep this short. i do not think that you nake your own choices. i think that deep down you are a good person and wants to do her best to please the people around you i also believe that you love your husband and that you are an excellent wife just do me one favor tell your sister in laws to go to hell. and that theresa i don not even know what to say about her she's just a sad case you are surrounded by nuts.i feel sorry for you

Dear Jacqueline,thank you for giving hope to the real women out there who choose to be classy and respectful.You are a throw back to the days when ladies acted like ladies.It is very apparent that you stand up and fight for your family and what you believe in and yet you have not let the world make you jaded or bitter. You remind me of the saying my mother raised me with..."pretty is as pretty does"It may seem an old fashioned thing to say,but it is so true..Kuddos to your hubby for standing behind you in the "last supper" episode.You two seem to have a really loving realtionship.Congrats on your new arrival.May god bless you all.

Anita,

Hi Jaqueline:

Would you please tell me the name of the game that you were playing at dinner on the lost footage show? That game looks like so much fun to play with my family at dinner. Thanks so much.

P.S. Congrats on your new baby boy!

Hi Jacqueline,

Question: I loved the orange dress you wore and was wandering where I could buy one?

: 07/19/2009 - 6:56pm; Viewer; Jacqueline, you are the sweetest person I have ever seen on bravo's "Housewives" shows! It was painful to watch all the dramatics and how you were stuck in the middle. Sometimes the nicest people are the ones other people prey on to manipulate or take advantage of.... I wish you the best!

Okay, so first off, I have just got to say it...I LOVE your hair! There it is, I just had to get it out of the way. So, if you or Dina would ever feel compelled to offer styling tips, well, I know that I would appreciate it.

With that out of the way, it is very obvious to me that you have a big heart and I am sure that your first impulse is to forgive and forget, to just let it roll off your back and whole-heartedly believe in your friends. So, for you to want to cut ties with Danielle, well she had to have really pushed you. So, good for you. You made a difficult decision. Some people are just trouble and trouble just follows them wherever they go.
