None of these ladies are classy in fact in my eyes they are the opposite of classy. Classy people don't go around with a book to exploit anothers past a past that happened more than 2 decades past.

ITA chitchat...very staged and Theresa was definitely (at least somewhat) drunk. She was slurring her words at times.

Supposedly Kevin was still married to his first wife when he married Danielle. So, if that is indeed true, their marriage was never legal. So how can they still be "married"?

The book, Cop Without a Badge is selling for over $169 on Amazon. I am on a library waiting list but now wonder if it is a waste of time after finding this "review" on there.

Just what kind of fact checking was actually done on this book anyway? Kevin Maher always has and always will be known as a snake and for anyone to take his word at face value is incomprehensible. Kevin, I hope you are reading this. A set of facts as simple as those surrounding the death of your father you have distorted to suit you and make you look like a superhero. Your father did NOT die 8/9/74 the day you were released from prison as your story so eloquently puts it, with you rushing to his side just a minute too late. Your father died Aug. 9 of 1977 of a heart attack on the subway. You would not take care of the burial arrangements so your uncle Ron had to purchase a plot in Fairview Cemetery in NJ to bury him where he rests today, left out the part about how you got your Uncle Patrick kicked off the force and had the nerve to show up for his wake. You always were and are, a slimeball. This book is a farce.

I thought that review was by a relative? I can't remember now, but it was mentioned somewhere who that person was.

Lori, it does seem a little strange that Danielle is getting so much positive feedback on the blogs.

Cake Boss on TLC had to do a bachelorette cake on the episode last night and the party was at the same restaurant that Danielle went to meet her phone sex guy that never showed! LOL It's so funny to see all the publicity NJ is getting!

also the plane cake that they made was made for hospital where I am going to give birth!

Panda, when is the baby due? Do you live in NJ? Have you ever seen any of the housewives, lol?

I've never watched the Cake Boss. I saw a bit of it @ the end of J&K last night. The mother was upset @ what some gals wanted in a cake, so the son was going to sneak make it.

Lori, re Danielle getting positive feedback, I wouldn't be surprised if some was her, but also, it never ceases to amaze me how people see the same situation in completely different ways. I find the same to be true on Jacqueline's blog.

That's the same thing Jill Zarin asked in her blog on Bravo.She came in carrying a tiny purse,I watched the ep. again and her daughter had a small bag too.So SOMEONE handed it to her,or she somehow sneaked back to the car to get it. Makes ya wonder..

Can't wait for tonight,I hope a table smacks Danielle across the eyebrows!!

Just thought this was funny regarding NJ being on TV, too...I was watching Baby Story on TLC and lo and behold on the screen my GYN and the hospital I had my son in! (I go to a maternal fetal specialist for this baby so it's different)......

LOL Lori - or even a copy of the book to the eyebrows!

WOW,WOW,WOW! It surprises me she'd want to do a reality show and expose her kids to possible retaliation,even though it's been over 20 years!

From People.com

Real Housewives: Caroline & Danielle’s Battle Rages On
June 23, 2009
The show may be over — but the drama is far from finished. While stars of The Real Housewives of New Jersey will reunite Tuesday (Bravo, 9 p.m. ET), PEOPLE sat down with Caroline Manzo and Danielle Staub — separately! — on the same day to discuss their feud. Here, in their own words, the reality stars explain why they made the decisions they did in the show’s confrontational finale — and attempt to get at the truth behind the sensational claims in the book Cop Without a Badge. – Mark Dagostino & Brian Orloff
Where They Stand Now
Caroline: She’s invisible to me. I never had a relationship with her, I never wanted to have a relationship with her and due to her behavior, I will never have a relationship with her. She’s a pathological liar. She is manipulative. She is an opportunist. She has no conscience; she has no morals.
Danielle: Why would I lie? If you’re going to call me a pathological liar, challenge me. I’m a human being, and on the inside my heart aches just like theirs does. Just because there’s so many of them that doesn’t mean that their pain is any more important than mine.
Who Is Lying?
Danielle: I have a big problem with Caroline. I think she’s a big bully. She’s lying. And I don’t understand her motives. Protecting your sister is one thing, but what exactly are you protecting her from?
Caroline: A lot of people are upset with me for “lying for my sister.” I didn’t lie for my sister. That’s not who I am. And there’s no truth to that at all. If Dina showed that book, I would have let her fight her own battle. So, Danielle, sorry to disappoint you again.
Bringing Up the Book
Caroline: At [my son] Albie’s graduation party we found out this book exists and immediately we went to the computer in the office and we Googled it. We read an excerpt from the contents and we were blown away. The next day, I went to the library and I got the book. Dina and Jacqueline knew I was going, and we got back to my house and read it together and had tremendous concerns.
Danielle: They would not give me the chance to talk about it, and I thought [bringing the book to dinner] was the only way to get them to pay attention. They were running around even with that book laying there. If I hadn’t put it there, it never would have been addressed. It was the strongest way to say, “I have you all in one room and like it or not, the cameras are going to see that.”
Is Danielle Dangerous?
Danielle: Really? Was it my father-in-law that was killed and shoved into a trunk? I’m dangerous? I knew about this through the whole show. I didn’t bring it up once. I’m classy. [But] let’s talk about what’s really dangerous here. I’d like to hear about the two siblings that they haven’t talked to in
a decade — why they made their wives so uncomfortable that their own brothers won’t even speak to them. But I’m the one who caused trouble in that family? Don’t point the finger at me, ’cause I’m not sitting back anymore.
Caroline: People say, “Well, why didn’t you go to her?” Because that reputation preceded her. The woman we knew was incapable of telling the truth. After screaming and arguing for days and days, we made a decision not to tell Danielle that we know [the book] exists. If we play dumb, it can’t come back to haunt us. And that’s the decision we made as a family.
What About the Kids?
Caroline: The true Danielle is in those very last moments of that footage [from the final episode]. That is the true unfiltered Danielle, with that cigarette. And who is her audience? Her children. Making pizza and climbing a rock wall don’t make you a great parent. Her children are well-behaved, well-mannered and they excel in school. But if you look at her children, they have a haunted look in their eyes. These children are paying the price for her irresponsibility.
Danielle: My children were present [for the confrontation] for a very good reason. I not once used an obscenity. I not once started screaming at anybody. I not once tossed a table, or flipped out and banged my hands, or started pacing around. I was just sitting firm, waiting for my right of passage, so to speak. Did I put a burden on [my children]? Did I bring the book out? Were [the Manzo sisters] thinking of my kids? Was it me that put my kids in this position?

When her "first" husband was on FNC a couple of weeks ago, he said there were a couple of Columbian drug lords that would love to find Beverly/Angela/Danielle.

Does People magazine not know that it is a "rite of passage" not a "right of passage"?

Ahh, congratulations, Panda. I'll bet you're going to be glad when August comes. It's so hot here in WI already for the summer; I can only imagine how hot it will be for you in NY until you have the baby.

Re Caroline and Danielle's interview above, I completely agree with everything Caroline said. She could have taken the words right out of my mouth.

As far as Danielle's final statements, they only go to show how completely manipulative she is. Pushing the others buttons until they loose control with that nasty look she gave them and bringing the book out; yet being the perfect mother in front of her children; even having the audacity to imply she's a better mother than the others. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Caroline is right and I said it the night of the show. We saw the real Danielle at the very end; saying that Teresa threatened her and how she would bring her down like she did Dina. She needs to watch the show. I guess now she's set on the wrong facts that Dina, not Caroline showed the book. It's sad the she worked Jacqueline until she believed it. I hated when Jacqueline let her run Dina down in front of her. That had to really hurt Dina and I'm sure Danielle was counting on that when Dina watched the tapes. I wish they would boot her off the show and bring someone new in. This woman is really mental.
