Reasons Danielle Staub Should NOT Be Allowed To Return To The Real Housewives
If you’ve read our blog over the past year, you know we keep things pretty neutral and rarely take a side; however, with Danielle Staub tweeting up a storm asking fans to tell Andy Cohen to bring her back, and with him even confirming to me in a tweet that he HAS asked her back each year, we decided it was time to make our voice heard. Having been one of numerous groups of people that has fallen victim to Danielle’s vindictive, nasty ways (and yes, we have the information to prove it, but that’s not the point of this post nor would we leak that type of information), we decided to compile a list of reasons Danielle should NOT be allowed to return to the Real Housewives franchise.
Here are reasons Bravo should not bring her back, in no particular order:
1. Danielle has continually harassed Teresa Giudice about her bankruptcy and fraud charges via social media. Interestingly enough, Danielle herself declared bankruptcy, so it seems like someone who lives in a glass house IS indeed throwing a stone. Don’t believe us? Check it out here.
2. Danielle tried to ruin the reputation of her boyfriend in season 1, Steve Zalewski, claiming he illegally had a sex tape of her. He ended up suing her for defamation of character and slander, and being awarded $100,000. Of course, when she filed for bankruptcy, she ended up avoiding paying him. You can read about that here.
3. While we’re on the sex tape topic, Danielle was so “upset” by her ex having an alleged sex tape of her, but ended up having a sex tape released a few months later. Don’t believe us? Check this out here and here.
4. Danielle tauts herself as a great mother, yet ended up returning to stripping after her stint on the Real Housewives ended. While this may have been short lived, it still happened, and it seems a bit lower class than what we would expect of someone on the housewives shows. Check that information out here.
5. Danielle attempted to gain public sympathy in her memoir “The Naked Truth,” claiming her ex-husband Kevin Maher “raping her on a bed of broken glass, inserting his handgun inside of her and playing Russian Roulette, and hanging her dog.” He ended up suing her for these allegations. Read about that here. They ended up reaching a settlement, which you can read about here. Generally, if something is true you wouldn’t settle, so it seems she was yet again telling some potential lies or twisting the truth.
6. Danielle has a past of being a prostitute and being involved in drug dealing. While someone can change from the past and reinvent their life, things such as going back to stripping and sleeping with men in front of someone else’s children (something Teresa had insinuated she had done in season 1) don’t exactly add up to show a renewed person. You can read about her drug dealing and prostituting past here.
7. Danielle has sent fans messages through Twitter (direct messages) asking them to harass her former co-stars. Want proof? See it here and here.
8. Danielle alluded to the fact that she was a lesbian for a bit of time with singer Lori Michaels, and even released a single with her called “Real Close.” While people were dubious at the time, a friend of the “couple” ended up speaking to Radar, alluding to the fact that it was a publicity stunt. Read about that here.
9. In season 2, when Danielle had her showdown meeting with Caroline, she claimed to have the building surrounded with guns. Does this not scream liability to Bravo? I mean, honestly, who would do that? What did she think Caroline would possibly do to her to warrant THAT level of protection? This is not okay and put other cast members in potential dangerous situations.
10. Danielle allegedly tried to have Dina Manzo’s daughter taken away from her and spoke to Dina’s ex and their family. Who would do that just to get back at a cast member on a reality TV show they didn’t like? Danielle would. Read about that here and here.
11. Danielle tried claiming Jacqueline’s daughter, Ashlee, was kicked out of the school she was in. This was proven to be another lie. You can read about that little nugget on our website, here.
12. The majority of people do not care enough about her to see her on television again. There is an account trying to drum up support to bring her back on twitter, but it only has 600 followers. 600 people out of all the people who watch Bravo? That’s not very many.
13. Danielle claims she lives in “love and light” and had claimed to be moving on from the drama years ago, yet frequently bashes people from her former cast on social media. Some of the things she says are downright cruel, and she even will have the audacity to use the hashtag “LoveAndLightDS.” If this is her version of love and light, we’re not sure we want to see her #HateAndWrath.
14. If you question her on ANYTHING, she immediately takes an issue with you. Don’t believe us? Ask the multitudes of people she had falling outs with, on the show and otherwise. Or you could just ask us how she blocked us for running the story about Ashlee we mentioned above and sent us DM’s about how “I will NOT stand for negativity” and has called us many a name including “sludge” as of late.
15. She has acted creepily many a time. Think back to season 2, where she did a drive by at Caroline’s house because she was having a party she wasn’t invited to. If that’s not creepy, I don’t know what is. Even her own daughters had to tell her to move on and drive away.
While this list could go on forever, these are 15 solid reasons why Danielle Staub should NOT be allowed to return to the Real Housewives of New Jersey. We believe her to be a liability and risk to the franchise and to cast members she would be working with. We hope Bravo thinks about this before just putting her back into the mix for entertainment purposes. We guess we’ll have to just “watch what happens.”

That’s actually 16 because you listed 9 twice but loved every bit of it!
Thanks! I fixed that 🙂
Are you serious? The Guidice’s have done more than have a bankruptcy (open your front door and look down the block many of your neighbors have filed or are in the process of filing bankruptcy, it’s no big deal) they committed fraud. They lied to the court. That’s why they’re having issues. No one visited that on them.
Being a stripper makes her a bad mother? Screw you! You’re part of the bigger problem in this country with it’s uptight views, all the while being the biggest consumer of porn on this planet. Why not be the solution instead of continuing the problem?
Why do you care about what religion she is or was or isn’t at all? Not your monkeys, not your circus.
Publicity stunts? I’m shocked! No one has ever done that before!! How dare her!
Prostitute? See stripper. Men are the market, tell your buds to stop buying them, and that will make the problem go away. Dumb dick.
Which is it? She’s a liar, or she brought guns to the Caroline meeting?
She acts creepy, she argues. She sounds like all the other “class acts” you would expect from Real Housewives.
It’s a TV show and a bunch of DESPERATE housewives trying to milk that 15 minutes for as long as they can. Most of them have had or are involved in financial crisis’s and are looking to help their families. More drama, means ratings and securing your place.
Like anything else, don’t like it, don’t watch it. But giving credence to have the stuff you wrote here, and trying to make DS look like crap is a dick move. Yup, you’re a dick.
YEA!!! I agree with you Zoe!!!!!
People can call me whatever you want but I agree with Zoe here your post is ridiculous just stupid and your a moron ok.. I can’t stand Danielle but let me point out 141 counts of effing fraud felonies moron you let that big POS back on a show after getting out of prison and pretty effing far from out of trouble still. You have the nerve to post BS like that unbelievable this is the type of crap that angers me ok unbelievable, but it just exposed how truly ignorant you are.
anger issues anyone??? Sounds like your the dick!
😉
Um, really, you need to get grammer and spell check. It’s you’re or you are, NOT your.
I agree 100% with Zoe. Teresa and Joe need to be removed! It’s T.V. and Danielle is good T.V.
“Not your monkeys, not your circus” is the newest trendy Facebook saying and you’ve just been DYING to use it in a sentence, right? *yawn*
THANK YOU! I didn’t believe the “gun story” I just looked at it as her trying to get a storyline! She is no worse than the rest of them housewives! Teresa talked about DS going to jail & how she didn’t want her “beautiful dawters” around Danielle, now look whose in jail doing 15 months. So she went back to stripping dayum the woman & her children had to eat! I like Danielle! STORYLINE PEOPLE, STORYLINE!
should also highlight the questionable men she “friended” in an attempt to build a entourage that would intimidate the other women on the show. that guy with the 70s shag cut was so creepy and was clearly there just to make her feel like she had street cred. but he didnt care cuz she was clearly sleeping with him to keep him quiet. ugh so gross. and had them around her beautiful children. i shudder just thinking about it
I so agree with you
1st, you need a grammer/spell check on your computer, sweetie.
2nd As for taking sides???? Ya just did.
3rd Do I like Danielle? Not really, but I think you make excuses for the guidice twit where you condemn Danielle. While going back to stripping may not be the best choice for any mother, I believe it’s better than defrauding banks and mortgage companies and creating false W-9’s and other papers to falsify income to obtain loans YOU DON’T HAVE ANY INTENTION OF PAYING BACK.
4th So she called you names. What you are doing to her in this article is just as bad, so pot, meet kettle.
5th You just need to stop. Please. You come across as a bitter 13 year old. WAIT A MINUTE!!! Is this Gia?????
Grammar…..
Well I agree with you completely. Danielle is creepy, deluded and cheap. She clings on to facts like how much money she had with her ex and then seems ready to sell her daughter to make money (Christine with modelling and Gillian with music). She is a lazy manipulative lizard. She needs to get a serious grip on reality before history repeats itself and she kidnaps someone again in a desperate attempt to make a few quid.
As opposed to the guidice twit who sold her daughter out to dancing (?) and modeling???????? As for cheap, creepy and deluded, you just described the guidice clan
I’m no fan of DR but can I just say that you can be a Christian and a Catholic at the same time. Personally, I don’t think she is either but I wanted to throw that out there. Kinda discredits your list.
Totally true, I updated that, thanks!
She is UGLY!!
I agree 100%, a sociopath like Danielle should not be allowed anywhere the public eye where all the attention feeds her craziness. She needs professional help. I have to question the sanity of Danielle Staub supporters and their moral views. I’m not sure who’s crazier, Danielle or her supporters, but seeing that she doesn’t have that many supporters is a small comfort! 🙂
I’m guessing some of her “supporters” especially on social media are indeed accounts she’s created
Tell us, realmrhousewife, do you put quotes around words to describe the felons, too?
They are all as bad as each other. But on the other hand I really don’t think Danielle is mentally stable to appear on the show.
The last series I watched with her in it had me concerned very concerned.
And lizzie get off your high horse love it’s a show after all.
I agree with everything that was said about Danielle please don’t bring back some crazy person to the show she is such a bad vibe once I saw her on season 1 & 2 really hoped that I would not see her in season 3 because I was not going to watch the show anymore.. I’m a big fan but I’m a little sad Caroline and Jacqueline are not on this season coming up.. but like I’ve said to each its own please don’t bring back Danielle……….
While I liked Danielle, it’s best for her to never to return to the show. I feel the only reason rumors are going about she wants back on the show is that she broke and in despite need of the cash. Not to mention she wants rehash old bs with Dina. Im over her holding this grudge. Time and time again Andy has asked her back and she refused and disappointed her fanbase with her decision. Im over if she will ever return or not.
I beleive Danielle has proven herself to be unstable and dangerous to others with her paranoia and although I watch almost all of the Bravo shows, I will not support watching Danielle being back on nor watch it for no other reason than this will bring a violent person on the air and pay her to bring other dangerous people in who can bring harm to those we DO love to watch. Thank you for this very informative blog women.
Anytime (it’s men btw! Hahah
Wow is it really that important to you. You know she’ll probably come back next season now that dina is back. Did JL pay you to do this?? Mmmmm….
I totally agree with everything you said. Simple as that.
🙂
I DON’T LIKE THE SHOW ANYMORE,ALL THE GOOD ONE NOT THERE, BUT OF THEN SHOW TERESA GO TO BIG HOUSE , I WILL HAVE THE PARTY
I totally can’t stand her! I’m glad you guys are NOT letting her return! She’s nothing but trouble!
Being a stripper makes you a bad mother? Whoever said that is an ignorant ass hat! I had a son and was married and was a stripper to help pay my mortgage on our house and pay for college. Being a stripper in my book is smart money managing! You can work for a short amount of time at night and make 15 times for then you would working at McDonald’s! Theresa is as much a drama queen. Plus she is a liar and it’s not just filing for bankruptcy. With today’s economy who hadn’t filed for bankruptcy. It’s because her and her husband kept spending money and more money instead of taking care of there bills!
Nobody with any integrity is still on that show. All of the “good ones” have left. I can’t stand Theresa and her ignorance. It looks like this season is going to be a big “Boo-hoo fest” for the “poor” Giudices, lest we forget THEY ARE BOTH CRIMINALS!!! And the “new crew” (the twins) look just as classy as the rest of the remaining cast. I say, let Danielle back on. It’s not like the show can get any lower, at this point.
Bring her back she was fun!
Pat, names always start with capital letters.
I refuse to give that twit the courtesy of proper grammar, capitalizationor spelling. She doesn’t use it so why should anyone who refers to her?
Bring whoever you want back it still will not be worth watching without Caroline!
Lol .. My eyes were wide open reading ALL OF these reasons.. Wow great job on your facts.. I never liked Danille and swore if she ever went back to RHONJ that I would stop watching .. She is WAY over the edge , people aren’t safe with her as a cast member..she goes to far..
As far as the “Danielle Supporters ” on here.. All I can say is
” Danille couldn’t you come up with anything ? Please making up bogus accounts to type your comments” ..move on Danielle ..#neverwillbeonRHONJagain
I can tell Danielle is a sociopath. Knew that from her first season. I think Bravo is taking a risk by keeping her on the show. They should know the tell tale symptoms or maybe they under estimate how much damage she can do. She can be lethal. I really feel sorry for people that don’t recognize sociopaths. Compassionate care givers are their best victims but anyone who gets involved with a sociopath suffers.
